StateDescription

ENABLED

Basic state, all the operations are available.

DISABLED

The artifact and its metadata is viewable and searchable using the Service Registry web console, but its content cannot be fetched by any client.

DEPRECATED

The artifact is fully usable but a header is added to the REST API response whenever the artifact content is fetched. The Service Registry Rest Client will also log a warning whenever it sees deprecated content.

9.3. Service Registry artifact metadata

When an artifact is added to Service Registry, a set of metadata properties is stored along with the artifact content. This metadata consists of a set of generated read-only properties, along with some properties that you can set.

Updating artifact metadata

  • You can use the Service Registry REST API to update the set of editable properties using the metadata endpoints.
  • You can edit the state property only by using the state transition API. For example, you can mark an artifact as deprecated or disabled.
