Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All IBM Z System Automation V4R3 customers  *
    *                  using the SA Operations Rest API.           *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: New APG and INFO endpoints have been    *
    *                      added to the OperationsAPI              *
    ****************************************************************
    Up until now the users have not been able to see detailed
    information specific to resource of the type APG like the
    members belonging to a specific APG. The user also had to
    check if certain processes, like refreshing a policy,
    have finished by repeatedly checking manually.
    

Problem conclusion

  • To see information specific to APG resources, two new endpoints
    have been added. The /groups endpoint returns all resources of
    the type APG. These can be filtered to only show the relevant
    resources. The second endpoint called /groups/{resourceID} uses
    the ID of one specific APG as a parameter. This will return
    additional, more detailed information about this APG. There are
    also 3 new informational endpoints which can be used to monitor
    the progress of certain processes. There are two endpoints
    called /start/info and /stop/info which can be given a resource
    specific ID which will then wait for the resource to start or
    stop, depending on the endpoint that was used. Once the status
    of the resource changes, the endpoint informs the user of this
    event. The new /policy/refresh/info endpoint does the same
    thing for refreshing a policy.
