CdmChangesetsApi

The CdmChangesetsApi provides endpoints that enable you to manage changesets.

Using these endpoints you can:

  • Create new changesets.
  • Deploy changesets.
  • Retrieve lists of or individual changesets.
  • Retrieves the node changes within a changeset.
  • Retrieve a list of applications or deployables that are impacted by a changeset.
  • Delete changesets.
  • Return a list of shared components that are associated with a specified changeset.

The create changesets endpoints use an asynchronous queuing implementation. With this type of implementation, you first call the create changeset request endpoint. This endpoint queues your request and returns a commit identifier. You then use this commit identifier to call the appropriate status endpoint to obtain the status of the create request.

You must have one of the following roles to access this API:

  • Scripted REST CDM View ACL (sn_cdm.cdm.viewer)
  • Scripted REST CDM Editor ACL (sn_cdm.cdm_editor)

In addition, the Configuration Data Management (CDM) plugin must be activated for this API to be available in an instance.

For additional information on changesets, see Changesets and version control in CDM.

Parent Topic:REST API reference

CdmChangesetsApi - DELETE /sn_cdm/changesets

Deletes a specified changeset.

The caller must have the CDM Editor role to access this endpoint.

URL format

Versioned URL: /api/sn_cdm/{api_version}/changesets

Response:


CdmChangesetsApi - PUT /sn_cdm/changesets/commit

Updates and commits a specified changeset.

The system updates the application to persist the changes to the configuration data within the changeset. The changeset state changes to Committed. The system then generates a snapshot of each deployable that is affected by the changeset.

This endpoint returns the ID of the commit request. Use this ID to call the CdmChangesetsApi - GET /sn_cdm/changesets/commit-status/{commit_id} endpoint to obtain the current status of the changeset commit.

URL format

Versioned URL: /api/sn_cdm/{api_version}/changesets/{changeset_id}/commit

Default URL: /api/sn_cdm/changesets/{changeset_id}/commit

## CdmChangesetsApi - POST /sn\_cdm/changesets/\{changeset\_id\}/commit

Commits the specified changeset. Once committed, the changeset is persisted into the CDM tables within the associated instance.

The system updates the application to persist the changes to the configuration data within the changeset. The changeset state changes to **Committed**. The system then generates a snapshot of each deployable that is affected by the changeset.

This endpoint returns the ID of the commit request. Use this ID to call the [CdmChangesetsApi - GET /sn\_cdm/changesets/commit-status/\{commit\_id\}](changesets-api.md) endpoint to obtain the current status of the changeset commit.
