I am trying to do BPM and SoftLayer integration using Java REST client. On my initial analysis(as well as help form stack overflow),I found
Step 1) we to get getPriceItem list to have all IDs for next request.
https://username:api_key@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Product_Package/2/getItemPrices?objectMask=mask[id,item[keyName,description],pricingLocationGroup[locations[id, name, longName]]]
and then do verify and place order POST call using respective APIs.
I am stucked on Step 1) as filtering here seems to be bit tricky. I am getting a json response of over 20000 lines.
I wanted to show similar data(just like SL Performance storage UI ) on my custom BPM UI . (One drop down to select type of storage, 2nd to show location, 3rd to show size and 4th would be IOPS) where user can select the items and place request.
Here I found, SL is something similar to this for populating the drop downs-
Can't we have implementation where we can use control.softlayer.com just like SL instead of api.softlayer.com? In that case we can use similar logic to display data on UI.
Thanks Anupam
Here, using the API, the steps for performance storage. For endure storage the steps are similar you just need to review the value for categoryCode and modify if it needed
you can get the locations using this method:
http://sldn.softlayer.com/reference/services/SoftLayer_Product_Package/getRegions
you just need to know the package of the storage e.g.
GET https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Product_Package/222/getRegions
then, you can get the storage size for that you can use the SoftLayer_Product_Package::getItems or SoftLayer_Product_Package::getItemPrices methods and a filter e.g.
GET https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Product_Package/222/getItemPrices?objectFilter={"itemPrices": {"categories": {"categoryCode": {"operation": "performance_storage_space"}},"locationGroupId": { "operation": "is null"}}}
Note: We are filtering the data to get the prices whose category code is "performance_storage_space" and we want the standard price locationGroupId = null
then, you can get the IOPS, you can use the same approach like above, but there is a dependency between the IOPS and storage space e.g.
GET https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Product_Package/222/getItemPrices?objectFilter={"itemPrices": { "attributes": { "value": { "operation": 20 } }, "categories": { "categoryCode": { "operation": "performance_storage_iops" } }, "locationGroupId": { "operation": "is null" } } }
Note: In the example we assume that selected storage space was "20", the prices for IOPS have an record called atributes, this record tell us the valid storage spaces of the IOPS, then we have other filters to get only the IOPS prices categoryCode = performance_storage_iops and we want only the standard prices locationGroupId=null
To selecting the storage type I do not think there is a method the only way I see is that you call the SoftLayer_Product_Package::getAllObjects method and filter the data to get the packages for endurance, performance and portable storage.
Just in case here an example using the Softlayer's Python client to order
"""
Order a block storage (performance ISCSI).
