The AppLogic API is now available for programmatic control of the system. The semantics of the API are similar to the CLI shell commands. The major departure is that templates and applications have a separate command sets.
The AppLogic API Reference Manual (http://doc.3tera.com/AppLogic29/RefWebServiceAPI.html) describes the REST-like API transport and operations. The requests are typically encoded with URL-encoded parameters; the responses can be formatted in XML or JSON. Long-running commands use an asynchronous job mechanism that allows tracking the state of the job and obtaining both intermediate and final results.
The API itself is provided by an AppLogic application (http://doc.3tera.com/AppLogic29/RefAppsWsApi.html) and provides global federation of AppLogic grids; the same API can provide access to one or more grids (known as 'vdc's - virtual datacenters). There is also an API test application (http://doc.3tera.com/AppLogic29/RefAppsWsApiSample.html) that can be used as a sample API client and to verify the operation of the API.
The API application is available in AppLogic 2.9.3 and later.
If you have any problems or suggestions on the API, please post to this forum.
Happy programming,
- Peter
