Sample use cases

This section has sample use cases for CSA APIs.

List service offerings

Consumers can get a list of service offerings published on CSA using the offerings REST API.

For more information on payload options, see the documentation available at https://<host>:<port>/csa/apidocs.jsp.

Sample response:

"id": "9028525b4a7aa888014a7ae4d1ad0063",
"catalogId": "90d9650a36988e5d0136988f03ab000f",
"catalogName": "Global Shared Catalog",
"displayName": "Rest Demo",
"offeringVersion": "1",
"category": {
      "displayName": "Application Services",
      "name": "APPLICATION SERVICES"
},

Service offering details

This REST API provide details on customer options configured during service design. These options have to be included during order of a subscription. Check Service request payloads in CSA 4.x to parse the option model details.

Create subscription

Order request is a HTTP POST operation. The service request that needs to be submitted to CSA has two parts bundled as XML structure. First part is on subscription information and second is about customer options. Refer Service request payloads in CSA 4.x to check sample payloads to generate service request with or without option model.

Subscription details

Subscription details REST call is issued to fetch Base price, Recurring price, Total price and Service Instance Id. Service Instance is retrieved to fetch components that make up the service like server, application, properties etc.

Subscription details can be used to trace back order request and offering details.

Service instance details

Instance details call is used to fetch service components, public actions and its properties defined on your subscription. To get Service instance ID use Subscription details REST call.

Sample response:

"serviceInstance": {
    "name": "a925721a-c0c4-4d14-8cd6-32cad2783a62",
	"displayName": "RESTSample",

Cancel subscription

Manage your Subscription

There are two cases where you can use REST call to manage your subscription:

1. Request customer actions (public actions).
2. Modify a subscription to update subscription attributes or options.

Request a public action

A public action “My_Action” is defined on the component. “My_Action” takes three inputs String, Integer and a Boolean. Request payload has to include all these inputs while requesting a public action call.

From Service Instance details, get component ID where public action has been defined and the name of the public action.

Component Id: ff8080814b15cb4b014b1a70cf770171

Public Action: My_Action_October 13, 2014 5:18:11 AM UTC

Modify subscription

To modify a subscription, fetch the required option model details from the subscription details call, as shown in the following example:

CPU options:

"id": "field_ff8080814b15cb4b014b1a70cdef0132",
"displayName": "Number of CPUs",
"name": "EC9B910A_82A3_B51B_744B_DB26DCD23898",

"displayName": "CPUs",
"name": "CPU",
"description": "",
"visible": true,
"disabled": false,
"hidden": false,
"value": 2,

"displayName": "Memory (GB)",
"name": "C1988678_C6C2_A878_FEEE_DB29D1FF54DF",
"description": "",

Issue a subscription modify request

Download document attached to a CSA service

Documents are attached to Service offering before publishing an offer or to an order request before ordering a subscription. An active subscription will have reference links to these attachments which can be used to download the document.

Subscription details call will fetch the URL to download documents attached to an offering.

To download document use the following REST URL:

In order to fetch documents attached to subscription request, get the request ID and catalog ID from the Subscription details call.

To fetch attachments URL, use request details call.

Sample response

Service request payloads in CSA 4.x

To issue an order request to CSA, send a service request payload along with order request. Let us look at necessary parameters in the payload request that makes a service request. If your service design contains subscriber options (customer options) then these options are bundled under fields { } structure into the service request.

Sample payload without optionModel

{ "action":"ORDER", "categoryName":"REPLACE_ME_SERVICE_CATEGORY", "subscriptionName":"REPLACE_ME_SUBSCRIPTIONNAME", "startDate":"REPLACE_ME_ISO_DATE", "endDate":" REPLACE_ME_ISO_DATE", "fields":{ } }

For example: {"action":"ORDER", "categoryName":"APPLICATION_SERVERS", "subscriptionName":"sampleRequest", "startDate":"2014-12-03T05:04:49.000Z", "endDate":"2015-12-03T05:04:49.000Z", "fields":{ } }

Sample payload with optionModel

{ ""categoryName":"REPLACE_ME_SERVICE_CATEGORY", "subscriptionName":"REPLACE_ME_SUBSCRIPTIONNAME", "startDate":"REPLACE_ME_ISO_DATE", "endDate":" REPLACE_ME_ISO_DATE", "fields":{ "REPLACE_ME_OPTION_FIELD_ID":REPLACE_ME_VALUE_TRUE_OR_FALSE, "REPLACE_ME_OPTION_PROPERTY_FIELD_ID":REPLACE_ME_PROPERTY_VALUE }, "action":"ORDER" }

For example: { "categoryName":"APPLICATION_SERVICES", "subscriptionName":"sampleRequest", "startDate":"2015-01-24T05:32:17.000Z", "endDate":"2016-01-23T05:32:17.000Z", "fields":{ "field_9028525b4a7aa888014a7ae4d1bc006a":true, "field_9028525b4a7aa888014a7ae4d1bc006e":2, "field_9028525b4a7aa888014a7ae4d1cc0071":true, "field_9028525b4a7aa888014a7ae4d1cc0074":2048}, "action":"ORDER" }
