5.3.3 GraphQL Mutation
A mutation lets you add, delete, or modify content in the XMC database. This can be potentially risky, so
be sure you are not deleting important data, or corrupting the database content.
Note: GraphQL mutation is supported in XMC 8.3 and later.
The mutation framework is the same as for query: browse the GraphiQL interface to find the format of
your CALL, and the fields to complete.
When you created a query, you did not specify the top query field in your CALL, which is the default and
as such implied. For mutation, however, you must start your CALL with the top mutation field.
To illustrate mutation, create a Python script that creates a new site. Because this is a simple script is for
demonstration, it is short. A real script and workflow would be much longer.
SiteName = "/World/NewSite"
mutation = '''
mutation {
network {
createSite(input: {siteLocation: "%s"}) {
status
message
siteId
}
}
}
''' % SiteName
res = emc_nbi.mutation(mutation)
print "\nData returned: ", res
if res['network']['createSite']['status'] != "SUCCESS":
print "\nCannot create Site {} because {}".format(
SiteName,
res['network']['createSite']['message'])
