PUT /manage/v2/forests/{id|name}/properties

Summary

Modify the configuration of the forest identified by {id|name}.

Response

Upon success, MarkLogic Server returns a status code 204 (No Content).

Required Privileges

• the manage-user role
• the following privilege:

  http://marklogic.com/xdmp/privileges/manage

• the manage role plus one of the following granular privileges:
  • http://marklogic.com/xdmp/privileges/admin/forest
  • http://marklogic.com/xdmp/privileges/admin/forest/forest-ID

Usage Notes

Properties included in the payload replace the existing configuration of the same property, if any. All other properties remain unchanged. Replacement applies even where multiple property values are supported, such as replica forests. For example, if the request includes configuration for forest-replicas, all previously existing replica configuration is replaced. The operation is not additive.

Note: The properties described here are for XML payloads. In general they are the same for JSON, with the exception that, in JSON, failover-hosts and forest-replicas are expressed in singular form. For example, in JSON, failover-hosts is instead failover-host and the format is: "failover-host":["hostname"].

Note that adding or removing a replica forest to/from a master forest will take the master forest offline.

The structure of the modifiable properties is as follows:

The following properties are immutable: database, host, data-directory, large-data-directory, and fast-data-directory.

If database replication is configured such that the connect-forests-by-name property is false, then forest-level replication can be changed with the database-replication properties of the forests. Specify foreign replicas on the replica forests and foreign-master on the master forest.

database

The name of the database to which this forest is attached.

forest-name

The forest name.

enabled

Forest enabled status.

host

forest-replicas

A list of replica forests, used for local-disk failover.

This is a complex structure with the following children:

forest-replica

This is a complex structure with the following children:

host

replica-name

The name of a replica forest

data-directory

The optional public directory for forests.

large-data-directory

This is a complex structure with the following children:

foreign-replicas

This is a complex structure with the following children:

foreign-replica

Foreign replica of this database.

This is a complex structure with the following children:

foreign-cluster-name

Example

$ cat ./forest-properties.xml
==> 
<forest-properties xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage">
  <enabled>false</enabled>
</forest-properties>

$ cat ./forest-properties.json
==> 
{ "enabled": true }

$ curl --anyauth --user user:password -X PUT -d @./forest-properties.xml \
    -i -H "Content-type: application/xml" \
    http://localhost:8002/manage/v2/forests/example-1/properties

==> The enabled property of the forest named example-1 is set to false.
    All other properties are unchanged. MarkLogic Server responds with
    output similar to the following:
