Extending Product Function
Learn how to extend the function of HCL DevOps Deploy (Deploy).
- Plug-ins
  The HCL plug-ins provide tools for creating component processes and integrations. HCL plug-ins provides plug-ins for several common deployment processes, and others are available to integrate with a wide variety of tools, such as middleware tools, databases, and servers.
- Creating notification templates
  Notification templates are the basis for emails that the server sends to users after an event occurs on the server. You can create customized notification templates by modifying the default templates provided, or by creating new templates of your own.
- REST API reference
  You can use these REST interfaces to automate tasks.
  - Running REST commands
    Many different programs can run REST commands. To run the command, you call a method on a REST resource and pass parameters or a request in JSON format.
  - Examples of REST API commands
    Many REST and command-line client commands have examples in their help topics. A few more examples using various programming languages and scenarios are provided here. The commands are similar for the server.
  - Authenticating for REST commands
    The way that you authenticate to run REST commands depends on how the server is set up and the tool that you are using to run the commands.

    - environment resource
      - Add a base resource to an environment
      - Add an environment to a team
      - Create a new environment
      - Create a new environment from template
        This command creates and Environment from a template and attaches it to the specified application.
      - Delete all redundant versions for a component in an environment
        A version is considered redundant if all of its files have been replaced by versions that have been deployed more recently to the same environment.
      - Delete all versions for a component in an environment
      - Delete an environment
      - Delete the environment gate of a given environment
      - Get all artifacts overlapped in the given version
        Get all artifacts that are overlapped by later versions. A version is considered safe to rollback if it does not contain overlapping artifacts. It is risky to roll back a version if that version contains overlapping artifacts. This command applies only to z/OS component versions.
      - Get all base resources for an environment
        This command returns a listing of all resources added as base resources to an environment.
      - Get all of the latest desired inventory for an environment.
        This command returns a JSON array of all of the desired inventory for an environment. It optionally groups the desired inventory by component.
      - Get component environment properties for an environment
        These properties are defined on the component and their values are set on the environment.
      - Get environment property values
      - Get information about an environment
        This command returns a JSON representation of an environment.
      - Get resource tree for an environment
      - Get the compliancy of a given environment
      - Get the environment gate of a given environment
      - Get the latest desired inventory for an environment.
        This command returns a JSON array of all of the desired inventory for an environment.
      - Get the latest snapshot deployed to an environment
      - Get the value of a custom property on an environment.
      - Provision a cloud environment
        This command provisions an instance of an application blueprint and creates an application environment based on that blueprint.
      - Remove a base resource from an environment
      - Remove an environment from a team
      - Removes environment inventory for components with no resources in the enviroment resources.
      - Save the environment gate of a given environment
        Environment gates are JSON objects consisting of operators "OR", "AND", and "NOT", as well as status UUIDs. A valid operator is a JSON Object with a single key corresponding to one of the three operator types, and with a list of operators or UUIDs as its value. A valid gate begins with an enclosing OR operator containing one or more AND operators. AND operators can contain only UUIDs or NOT operators. NOT operators must contain a single UUID which corresponds to a known version or snapshot status.
