Dco 8.3.2 Colo Customer

[Gianluca]

HI all

is there any way to modify customer properties in Dco Colo?

now to Add a customer we need to use API

Customer does't believe that there is only API to do that

thanks

Hi!

That's right, there is no other way to create customer than API.

You can use API user interface with https://<your_DCO_ip>/api/current

There is a human readable UI with requests descriptions that can be also used to send requests to server.

To update customer details you need to use GET /customer request to get "id" parameter and then use PUT /customers/{customer-id} request with received id as argument.

reply from customer

"

The fact that dco's customer are managed only via API, makes me think that it is made to be interfaced with other systems, specifically the registry. All operations of create, update etc. they are done on another system and then "synchronized" on DCO.

At this point, would it be possible to have examples of real implementations? Just because we don't have the energy to reinvent the wheel :)"

thanks

Yes.

The intention for the customers features in DCO/ITA was originally meant for colocation customers to assign ownership of assets.

When the feature was originally built we had found colocators had typically had their own customer management system in which they kept their customer information, so there was a general feeling integrations would be required, so the api's were built.

Hello All,

Customer's can now be managed via the web interface.  This action was previously only available via the Rest API.  See the release notes for additional information and features.

Kind Regards,

Cory
