Updating an application definition
Applications can evolve over time as new components, repositories, or environments are introduced. In IBM Concert, you can update an existing application definition by editing it in the UI, modifying the application SBOM, or updating associations through the API.
You can update an application definition in one of the following ways:
- Update an application definition from the Concert UI: Edit the application directly in Concert and upload the updated SBOM as part of the guided edit flow.
- Update an application definition by modifying the application SBOM: Download or obtain the existing application SBOM, update the supported fields, and upload the modified SBOM by using the Concert UI or the ingestion API.
- Update an application definition by using the Application PATCH API: Modify application associations, such as build artifacts or source repositories, by using the Concert API without modifying or re-uploading the application SBOM.
Select the method that best fits your workflow and automation requirements.
