You can delete a package by using the
vRealize
Orchestrator REST API.
When you delete a package, the
elements from the package are not deleted. If you want to delete the content of
a package, you must provide an option parameter.
Procedure
-
Make a GET request and
retrieve the name of the package from the list of returned packages:
GET https://{orchestrator_fqdn}/vco/api/packages/
-
Make a
DELETE request at the
URL of the package, and if you want to delete elements from the package,
provide an option parameter at the end of the request:
DELETE https://{orchestrator_fqdn}/vco/api/packages/{package_name}/?option={parameter}
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
| deletePackage | Only
the package is deleted, while its content is retained. |
|---|
| deletePackageWithContent | The
package and all its content is deleted. If other packages share elements with
the deleted package, the shared elements are deleted from the other
packages. |
|---|
| deletePackageKeepingShared | The
package and the content that is not shared is deleted. Elements that are shared
with other packages are not deleted. |
|---|
If you do not provide
an option parameter, the default
deletePackage
parameter is used.
Results
If the
DELETE
request is successful, you receive the status code 200, and the response body
is empty.
