Document the new ExportBlueprint/ImportBlueprint APIs (2026.1) - #22
Merged

Conversation
Adds a how-to for exporting a blueprint as its definition XML and importing it back - version control, cross-server promotion, backup. Grounded in the server implementation and the packaging/python-api integration scenarios. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…silience, SAML XXE, bug fixes Closes out the catch-up for everything that landed on 2026.1 after 2026.1.0.52. PreserveDiagramLayoutOnViewStyleChange (CS 189995/189996/190004, ticket 67465 / WI 19310). Documented as a customer key on the Portal - it is declared AppSettingVisibility.Customer, unlike the ES/Server keys below - with the overlap caveat from the setting's own description. The three unconditional coordinate fixes (Arrange, drag-to-move, sticky-note resize) are noted separately, since they apply whether or not the key is set. Linux/Mono ES resilience (CS 189890/189891, ticket 67293). Described by behavior rather than by key: MinThreadPoolWorkerThreads (200), BeginExecutionMaxRetryCount (10) and BeginExecutionRetryIntervalSec (6) all default to AppSettingVisibility.Support, so they do not belong in the customer configuration keys repository. The user-visible facts are the wedged agent under driver-spawn bursts, the ~100s dispatch tolerance, and the Linux venv bin-vs-Scripts path fix. SAML ACS XXE (CS 189894, CWE-611) added to Security Updates - unauthenticated endpoint, so it is called out for SSO/SAML deployments. Bug fixes: diagram duplicate resource alias (CS 189961, release note), 'Blueprint not found' loop on domain switch (CS 189991), 500 downloading a shell or provisioning script with an extensionless stored file name (CS 189989), Properties dialog end time for a non-admin on an extended sandbox (CS 190005). Deliberately not documented: the Docker ES get-pip curl/wget change (CS 189983/189984/189986) is image build plumbing that never reached a released image, plus Dotfuscator, TCL/XmlToHtml generation, nightly-red and CI-only changesets. ExportBlueprintPackage/ImportBlueprintPackage (CS 189912/189917/189921) are also omitted: CS 189940 replaced them with the ExportBlueprint/ImportBlueprint pair already documented in #22.

…inputs, category validation (#24) Documents the three behavior-changing items that landed on 2026.1 after the 2026.1.0.52 pass (#18) and were not covered by #19-#22. Python 3 upgraded to 3.13.15 x64 (Trunk CS 189988/189997/189999, backported in CS 190003). This is the WINDOWS bundled slot only - the Docker ES image still builds Python 3.9.9, and so do the Linux VA and the from-script ES, so every page states the platform split rather than a blanket "CloudShell now uses 3.13". Python 2.7.18 is untouched. Also corrects setting-up-dev-env.md, which #23 had just updated to say the bundled version is 3.9.9 - true when it merged on Sep 6, wrong when the upgrade landed on Sep 8. Global inputs kept on save as blueprint, with the new KeepResourceGlobalInputsOnSaveAsBlueprint key (CS 189903/189905/189914). Default is true, which is a behavior change on upgrade: inputs that fronted a resource requirement used to be dropped and are now visible in the Reserve dialog and the blueprint editor. Documented as a customer-visible key on the Server (AppSettingVisibility.Customer, read by ServiceConfigSettingsLoader). Blueprint import now fails on a category missing from the target domain instead of silently dropping the association (CS 189942). The ExportBlueprint/ImportBlueprint page from #22 already stated this, so it needed no correction - only the release notes did. Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds a how-to page under DevGuide > CloudShell Automation API > Useful Code Examples for the new
ExportBlueprint/ImportBlueprintAutomation API methods introduced in CloudShell 2026.1.The page covers:
ExportBlueprint— parameters, response shape (Blueprintslist ofName/Xml), domain scoping, deterministic output.ImportBlueprint— create-or-update semantics, hard failure when a referenced family/model/attribute/script/driver/category is missing on the target, the active-draft block, and the fact it is deliberately not admin-gated.Grounded in the server implementation (
ResourceAPIApplicationService), the Testegator packaging scenarios, and the python-api integration scenario. Also adds the three new API names to the spellcheck wordlist.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
