Supported Content Types
A content type describes content that you can import or export using the content management service.
Content types contain metadata about the content provider and the content itself, such as type
information or service type ID. Usually the content provider supplies this information.
The REST API supports import and export of the following registered content types:
n
composite-blueprint - the content type corresponding to the composite blueprint
n
software-component - the content type corresponding to the software component
n
property-group - the content type corresponding to the property groups
n
property-definition - the content type corresponding to the property definitions
Everything as a Service (XaaS) content types:
n
XaaS-blueprint
n
XaaS-resource-action
n
XaaS-resource-type
n
XaaS-resource-mapping
