model.publish

model.publish(node, auto_rels)

Takes a node of kind ModelDefinition and publishes it, creating a BusinessService, TechnicalService or BusinessApplicationInstance node. If the model is already published, updates the existing published node.


The ModelDefinition node must have the following attributes:

  • key – a unique identifier.
  • name – the name of the service or application.
  • kind – one of:
    • BusinessService
    • TechnicalService
    • BusinessApplicationInstance
  • type – one of:
    • imported – to indicate an imported model.
    • pattern – to indicate a model that you have created using custom TPL, based on discovered data.
    • sam or static – less common cases, each used to create a model that can be edited in the UI. 

The ModelDefinition node must have relationships with the specification Definition:DefinitionContainment:IncludedItem:<kind> to all nodes included in the model.

If auto_rels is false, the ModelDefinition node must also have relationships of specification Definition:DefinitionContainment:IncludedItem:<kind> to all of the relationships between nodes that are included in the model.

If auto_rels is true, relationships between the included nodes are automatically included in the model.
