API enhancements

Removal of PUT /api/settings/data-retention

As mentioned in the 2023.4.0 release notes, PUT /api/settings/data-retention was deprecated in favor of PATCH /api/settings/data-retention and would return a HTTP 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED error message when invoked. It has now been completely removed in Black Duck 2023.7.0 and will now return a HTTP 404 NOT_FOUND error message if used.

Deprecation of GET api/external-config/detect-uri

The GET api/external-config/detect-uri API request has been deprecated and replaced by GET api/settings/detect. Users can still use the old API while it is deprecated.

Authenticated users with no roles can still use GET api/external-config/detect-uri to get the API string while it is deprecated. If those users use the GET api/settings/detect API, they will get the detectUri (if it is set) and nothing else.

Improved performance for PUT /api/policy-rules/{policyRuleId}

Performance for the PUT /api/policy-rules/{policyRuleId} API request has been improved by limiting policy profile calculations to only run when a change in violation is found after evaluating components in a project version.

Updated POST api/components/{componentId}/versions

The POST api/components/{componentId}/versions API request has been updated to allow users to map an external ID to a new custom component version when created.

New public SBOM field endpoint

The PUT /api/projects/{projectId}/versions/{projectVersionId}/components/{componentId}/sbom-fields endpoint updates the saved values for sbom fields for a BOM component.
