CdmChangesetsApi
The CdmChangesetsApi provides endpoints that enable you to manage changesets.
- 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.
- 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.
CdmChangesetsApi - DELETE /sn_cdm/changesets
Deletes a specified changeset.
The caller must have the CDM Editor role to access this endpoint.
