/management/wls/{version}/changeManager

The changeManager resource returns information about edit sessions. Use this resource to explicitly manage an edit session:

1. Use the changeManager to start an edit session.

2. Use other resources to make any number of configuration changes, such as configuring data sources and deploying applications.

3. Use the changeManager to either cancel all the changes in the edit session or activate them.

This strategy batches all the changes together which is typically most useful in a production environment when a number of configuration changes need to be made together before they are ready to be exposed to clients.

With implicit edit sessions, instead of using the changeManager, just use other resources to change the configuration (for example, create a data source). Each REST call to change the configuration will start its own edit session, make the change, and then activate the change. This is useful for small tweaks to the configuration as typically performed in development environments.

The resource supports the following methods:

• GET Method
