Bulk Modify Deployment Inputs

Example Call

Modify the Timezone (text) input and the SVN User/Password (credential) input at the deployment level.   A single API call changes all three for all servers in the specified deployment. 

Note:  The following example uses bulk modify inputs "notation 1.0".  Its easy to read, but lengthier to specify.  See the Supplemental section below to see the newer "notation 2.0" format. 

Important!  Notation 1.0 will be deprecated in RightScale API 2.0 in favor of  "notation 2.0" format.

Curl on a single line:

#!/bin/sh -e
DEPLOYMENT="306795001"       # Set the deployment to change inputs for
curl -i -H X_API_VERSION:1.5 -b mycookie -d inputs[][name]="rightscale/timezone" -d inputs[][value]="text:US/Pacific"  -d inputs[][name]="repo/default/svn_username" -d inputs[][value]="cred:GD_SVN_USERNAME" -d inputs[][name]="repo/default/svn_password" -d inputs[][value]="cred:GD_SVN_PASSWORD" -X PUT https://my.rightscale.com/api/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT/inputs/multi_update

Same script but with curl split into multiple lines and basic in-line comments for readability sake:

#!/bin/sh -e
DEPLOYMENT="306795001"       # Set the deployment to change inputs for
curl -i -H X_API_VERSION:1.5 -b mycookie \
-d inputs[][name]="rightscale/timezone" \
-d inputs[][value]="text:US/Pacific" \              # Change TZ (text) input value
-d inputs[][name]="repo/default/svn_username" \
-d inputs[][value]="cred:GD_SVN_USERNAME" \         # Change SVN Username (credential) value
-d inputs[][name]="repo/default/svn_password" \
-d inputs[][value]="cred:GD_SVN_PASSWORD" \         # Change the SVN Password (credential) value
-X PUT https://my.rightscale.com/api/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT/inputs/multi_update

Note:  Navigate or refresh your browser from YourDeployment > Inputs tab.  Each input value should be changed, and painted "blue" designating the input was set at the deployment level.

Supplemental

The equivalent example using the more streamlined "notation 2.0" follows.

Important!  Notation 1.0 will be deprecated in RightScale API 2.0 in favor of the following "notation 2.0" format.

#!/bin/sh -e
DEPLOYMENT="306795001"       # Set the deployment to change inputs for
curl -i -H X_API_VERSION:1.5 -b mycookie \
-d inputs[rightscale/timezone]="text:US/Pacific", \
-d inputs[repo/default/svn_username]="cred:GD_SVN_USERNAME", \
-d inputs[repo/default/svn_password]="cred:GD_SVN_PASSWORD" \
-X PUT https://my.rightscale.com/api/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT/inputs/multi_update

Example Call

The following example modifies several Inputs (APPLICATION_LISTENER_PORT, ZIP_FILE_NAME and OPT_APP_POOL_NAME) for Deployment with ID 306795001.

$deploymentID = "306795001"                                     # Set the actual ID of the deployment to be modified
$stringToPut = "inputs[][name]=APPLICATION_LISTENER_PORT&"      # One of several Inputs to be modified
$stringToPut += "inputs[][value]=text:80&"                      # Set to 80
$stringToPut += "inputs[][name]=ZIP_FILE_NAME&"
$stringToPut += "inputs[][value]=text:thisisazipfile.zip&"      # Set to a zip file name
$stringToPut += "inputs[][name]=OPT_APP_POOL_NAME&"
$stringToPut += "inputs[][value]=text:ASP.NET v4.0"             # Set to ASP.NET v4.0
$inputWebRequest = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create("https://my.rightscale.com/api/deployments/$deploymentID/inputs/multi_update?$stringToPut")
$inputWebRequest.Method = "PUT"
$inputWebRequest.Headers.Add("X_API_VERSION","1.5")
$inputWebRequest.CookieContainer = $cookieContainer
$inputWebRequest.ServicePoint.Expect100Continue = $false
$inputRequestStream = $inputWebRequest.GetRequestStream()
$inputRequestStream.Close()
[System.Net.WebResponse]$inputResponse = $inputWebRequest.GetResponse()
$inputResponseStream = $inputResponse.GetResponseStream()
$inputResponseStreamReader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader -ArgumentList $inputResponseStream
$inputResponse
#this is the cookie container for subsequent requests: $cookieContainer
