CLI Reference Guide

l With GET requests, views retrieve only the relevant data for the artifact and avoid loading all the
data for the artifact. This leads to better performance.
l With PUT requests, the burden is not on the user to know all the artifact details to update the
artifact. The user can pass only the necessary information.
l An example of using views is presented in "Update an artifact" on page 15 (using
componentfinalize view).
Note: If you are updating with artifact views, you need to specify all the view’s properties.
The following predefined views are available.
View name Properties
Descriptio

accesspoint accessPoint.username
accessPoint.password
accessPoint.uri
accessPoint.category.name
