7Targets can be accessed and modified through this API using three services: GET, PUT, and PATCH. These three services allow for the retrieval, complete update, and partial update of targets.

Authentication - Use Basic Authentication for this API.

GET

This GET service will find a target  with the given environment id and instance id. It returns the JSON representation of the target. 

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/{environmentId}/{instanceId}

Example

If we had a target in our database with an environment id of 12347 and an instance id of 12342, we can run a GET request at the following URL: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/12347/12342

The GET request would return the following JSON target object:

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true,
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",

Example

If we had a target in our database with an environment id of 12347 and an instance id of 12342 with the following attributes,

Target: 12347, 12342
{
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		}
	],
	"isActive": true,
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": null,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": 15,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.company.local",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": 8001,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "MDS_PASS",
			"propertyValue": "*****",
			"credentialId": 74952,
			"isExpression": false
		}
	]
}

When we run a PUT request at the following URL: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/12347/12342

And the PUT request receives the following JSON target object,

Target: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": []
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true,
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "classpath",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": 15,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.newcompany.local",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": 8001,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "MDS_PASS",
			"propertyValue": "newPass",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		}
	]
}

The PUT request would then update the target with the environment 12347 and the instance 12342. It will return the following JSON object:

Environment Instance: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": []
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true,
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "classpath",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": 15,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.newcompany.local",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": 8001,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "MDS_PASS",
			"propertyValue": "*****",
			"credentialId": 74952,
			"isExpression": false
		}
	]
}

Example

If we had a target in our database with an environment id of 12347 and an instance id of 12342 with the following attributes,

Target: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true,
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": null,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": 15,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.company.local",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": 8001,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FD_ORACLE_SOA_HOME",
			"propertyValue": "/u01/oracle/products/fmw/soa",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "MDS_PASS",
			"propertyValue": "*****",
			"credentialId": 74952,
			"isExpression": false
		}
	]
}

When we run a PATCH request at the following URL: http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/topology/environmentinstance/12347/12342

And the PATCH request receives the following JSON etarget object,

Target: 12347, 12342
{
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [12123]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 12241,
			"resourceIds": [18612]
		}
	],
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "new value",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "MDS_PASS",
			"propertyValue": "",
			"credentialId": 52268,
			"isExpression": false
		}
	]
}

The PATCH request would then update the environment instance with the environment 12347 and the instance 12342. It will return the following JSON object:

Target: 12347, 12342
{
	"instanceId": 12342,
	"endPoints":
	[
		{
			"endPointId": 10101,
			"resourceIds": [11223,11224,12123]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 10111,
			"resourceIds": [11223]
		},
		{
			"endPointId": 12241,
			"resourceIds": [18612]
		}
	],
	"environmentId": 12347,
	"isActive": true,
	"properties":
	[
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_EXT_CLASSPATH",
			"propertyValue": "new value",

		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_REVISIONS_TO_KEEP",
			"propertyValue": 15,
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_HOST",
			"propertyValue": "dev-soa.company.local",
			"credentialId": null,
			"isExpression": false
		},
		{
			"propertyName": "FDSOA_SERVER_PORT",
			"propertyValue": 8001,
