Publishing, Running and Deleting apps on the Cloud

This article provides an example of Python code that can be used to publish a project, run a specific task on it and delete the published project.

Use case?

“When using a CI/CD pipeline” you may want to test the app as follows:

• Publish

• Run scenario

• Cleanup (including removing the app)

Below, you will find a code example of how to achieve this.

import requests
import time
import os

url = "https://YOURURL-test.aimms.cloud/pro-api/v1/"
url_scope = "applications"
project_name = 'YOURPPROJECTNAME'
project_version = time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S") #Creating a unique name for publishing

# Publishing
file_location = './PROJECTNAME.aimmspack'
files = [
    ('file', ('PROJECTNAME.aimmspack',
              open(file_location, 'rb'),
              'application/octet-stream'))
]
headers = {
    'apiKey': 'YOURAPIKEY'
}
payload = {'metadata': '{"name": "' + project_name + '", "description": "YOUR DESCRIPTION", "projectVersionId": "' +
            project_version + '", ' '"aimmsVersionId": "4.91.2.8-linux64-x64-cm_vc141", "projectCategory": "YOUR CATEGORY" }'}
# replace 4.91.2.8-linux64-x64-cm_vc141 with the version you would like to use

url_publish = url + '/' + url_scope
response_publish = requests.request("POST", url_publish, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

print(response_publish.text)

# Runnning task
url_scope = 'tasks'
url_taskname = 'runScenarioTest' #Replace with the taskname used in the AIMMS project
url_run = url + '/' + url_scope + '/' + project_name + '/' + project_version + '/' + url_taskname + '/'

response_submit = requests.request("POST", url_run, headers=headers)

print(response_submit.text)
sp_id = response_submit.json()['id']

url_poll = url + '/' + url_scope + '/' + sp_id + '/'

status = ""
print("STATUS:")
while status != "finished": #loop to track status of task until done
    time.sleep(1)
    response_poll = requests.get(url_poll, headers=headers)
    status = response_poll.json()['status']
    print(status)

url_response = url + '/' + url_scope + '/' + sp_id + '/' + 'response'
response_task = requests.get(url_response, headers=headers)
print(response_task.text)


# Cleaning up
url_scope = "applications"
url_delete = url + '/' + url_scope + '/' + project_name + '/' + project_version + '/'

response_delete = requests.request("DELETE", url_delete, headers=headers)

print(response_delete.text)
