Approve Product

This operation changes the Product status from Test to Approved. The change in status shows that the Product is ready for loading into the Claims environment.

Only a Product in the Test status has the Approved status.

Resource Representation

The approve link determines whether Product status can change to Approved.

The following is a resource representation of a Product that has an updatable status:

{
  ... Product properties ...
  "links": [
    {
      "http://<host>:<port>/generic/products/{id}",
      "rel": "self"
    },
    {
      "http://<host>:<port>/products/{id}/approve",
      "rel": "product:approve",
      "httpMethod": "PUT"
    }
  ]
}

The following is a resource representation of a Product that cannot be changed to Approved status. For example, when the Product is already in Approved or Edit status:

{
  ... Product properties ...
  "links": [
    {
      "http://<host>:<port>/generic/products/{id}",
      "rel": "self"
    }
  ]
}
