The following table lists the operations that you can automate to get information about objects:

Operation	REST API	infacmd
Query design-time objects	Get design-time objects	dis queryDesignTimeObjects
Query run-time objects	Get run-time objects	dis queryRunTimeObjects
List applications	Get run-time objects	dis listApplications
List application objects	Get run-time objects	dis listApplicationObjects
List parameter sets	Get run-time objects	dis listParameterSets
List application patches	Not applicable	dis listPatchNames
Compare mappings	Compare two queried mappings	dis compareMapping

The following table lists the operations that you can automate to tag objects:

Operation	REST API	infacmd
Tag an object	Assign tags to design-time objects	dis tag
Replace object tags	Replace repository object tags	dis replaceAllTag
Untag an object	Remove tags from design-time objects	dis untag

The following table lists the operations that you can automate to detect and resolve conflicts:

Operation	REST API	infacmd
Unlock an object	Not applicable	mrs unlockObject
List locked objects	Not applicable	mrs listLockedObjects

The following table lists the operations that you can automate to perform version control operations:

Operation	REST API	infacmd
Check in an object	Perform version control operations	mrs checkInObject
Check out an object	Perform version control operations	Not applicable
Undo a check-out	Perform version control operations	mrs undoCheckout
Reassign a checked-out object	Perform version control operations	mrs reassignCheckedOutObject
List checked-out objects	Get design-time objects	mrs listCheckedOutObjects

Version control operations are available only if the Model repository is integrated with a version control system.

The following table lists the operations that you can automate to deploy objects:

Operation	REST API	infacmd
Deploy objects to an application archive file	Not applicable*	tools deployApplication
Deploy objects to an application patch archive file	Deploy design-time objects to an archive file	dis deployObjectsToFile
Deploy an application archive file to a Data Integration Service	Deploy an application	dis deployApplication
Deploy an application patch archive file to a Data Integration Service	Update an application	tools patchApplication
Redeploy an application archive file to a Data Integration Service	Update an application	dis updateApplication
* You cannot use the REST API to deploy objects to an application archive file. Use an application patch archive file to deploy an application to a Data Integration Service for the first time or to redeploy an application.

The following table lists the operations that you can automate to manage deployed applications:
