To deploy content from an existing vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager endpoint, you make a POST request.

The following procedure shows how to deploy content to a vRealize Orchestrator endpoint. An example shows how to capture, test, and deploy content to a vRealize Orchestrator endpoint using a single command.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that the appliance name and fully qualified domain name of the vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager instance are available.
  • Verify that the URL variable is assigned.
    url='https://LCM-Hostname'
  • Verify that the content package you want to deploy has been added to vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager.

Procedure

  1. Assign the reference ID of an existing vRealize Orchestrator endpoint to a variable name. 
    vROEndpoint = '<referenceID>'
  2. To deploy captured content to the vRealize Orchestrator endpoint, execute the following command. 
    curl -X POST \
  '$url/lcm/cms/api/v1/contents/pipelines' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW5AbG9jYWw6VGhpc0lzUGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
   "stages":[
      {
         "comment":"test-deploy",
         "endpointIds":["{$vROEndpoint}"],
         "tagNames":[],
         "contents":[],
         "contentVersionIds":["db118fe4-7ad2-42b2-895b-f53195b8a361"],
         "stage":"DEPLOY",
         "deployLatest":true,
         "includeDependencies":true,
         "deployAllFiles":true,
         "stopDeployOnFirstFailure":true
      }
   ]
}'| jq "."
  3. To track the status of the request, examine the response. 
    {
   "requestId":"f8951a41-b811-4645-81bb-3eb1b09a25cc",
   "status":"IN_PROGRESS"
}

Example: Perform multiple operations with a single command
