POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE Request data flow

The POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE Requests all carry configuration changes for the servers managed by Enterprise Manager. These Requests are handled as follows:

1. The client makes an HTTP POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE Request to the Data Source Configuration API on an application server on which the Enterprise Manager application resides.

   Only the content type of application/xml is supported for Request XML files generated by POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE requests.

2. The Enterprise Manager uses the requested data from the request.

3. Enterprise Manager updates the data in the database or retrieves the data from the database depending on the type of request.

4. The Enterprise Manager sends a Response JSON file to the client indicating whether the configuration change succeeded or failed.
