Option to Directly Download MAR File without Having to Deploy the VS

Products

• Service Virtualization

Issue/Introduction

Looking to create and download virtual services from the APIs.

Used the “*/api/Dcm/VSEs/VSE/actions/createService” API.

However, are looking to directly download the MAR without having to deploy the virtual service.

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Cause

N/A

Resolution

Refer to section "Using the APIs", then click link "Virtual Service Invoke API" in the documentation of the DevTest release you are running.

You cannot download a virtual service mar without it first being deployed to a VSE.

One of the required parameters for using the Virtual Service Invoke API is {serviceId} (virtual service id) and this is only available when a virtual service is deployed.

You would have to create a feature request for this use case.
