how to update a running service via rest

[khgrant]

Hi Team,

Could use some expertise in how to use REST API to update an existing service. Thanks, JA

I assumed that I could update a running service by using PATCH vs. POST. However I get the following error:

<errors xmlns="http://tail-f.com/ns/tailf-rest-error">

    <error>

        <error-tag>malformed-message</error-tag>

        <error-urlpath>/api/running/services</error-urlpath>

        <error-message>missing element: services in /ncs:services</error-message>

    </error>

</errors>

I am sending the below XML config (I just provided a snippet as it is long)  to the following URL:

http://10.84.46.61:8080/api/running/services

<vpc-mme-sae-gw xmlns="http://com/example/vpcmmesaegw">

    <deployment-name>vpc_di_MME</deployment-name>

    <esc-device>ESC0</esc-device>

    <tenant>mano</tenant>

    <num-of-cards>4</num-of-cards>

    <servicenet-vlsm>24</servicenet-vlsm>

    <service-gw-type>MME</service-gw-type>

    <vnfr>

JA,

PATCH:

Updates an existing resource. (If you are updating a list instance, the key(s)

must be in the URI).

So for l3vpn-subscribe service instance google-12345-001-123:

$ curl -X PATCH -i -v -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.yang.data+json" -u admin:admin --data "@l3vpnPatch.json" http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/running/services/l3vpn-subscribe/google-12345-001-123

Patch data:

$ cat l3vpnPatch.json

{

    "l3vpn-subscribe:l3vpn-subscribe":

    {

    "customer": {

      "short-name": "CUST-111",

      "customer-id": “111"

    }

    }

}

Before:

admin@ncs% show services l3vpn-subscribe google-12345-001-123 customer

short-name  CUST-1;

customer-id 001;

[ok][2016-10-11 22:22:47]

After:

[edit]

admin@ncs%

System message at 2016-10-11 22:23:13...

Commit performed by admin via http using rest.

admin@ncs% show services l3vpn-subscribe google-12345-001-123 customer

short-name  CUST-111;

customer-id 111;
