Request Body

Specifies a context request.

Enables the creation of a new Compute context.

Example:

{"name":"MyApp","version":4,"description":"My Application Context","attributes":{"sessionInactiveTimeout":60},"launchContext":{"contextName":"compsrv"},"launchType":"service","authorizedUsers":["myUser"],"mediaTypeMap":{"csv":"application/vnd.ms-excel"},"resources":[{"name":"file1","uri":"/files/files/ea0d3ee1-894f-4936-bc2b-f611a878a0dd","type":"application/vnd.sas.file","scope":"SESSION","options":{"LRECL":1024}}],"queueName":"MyAppQueue"}

Name	Type	Required	Description
name	string	true	Specifies the context name. The value of the name is limited to 100 characters. The value must be unique.
description	string	false	Specifies a localized description. The value of description is limited to 1000 characters.
launchContext	Launch Context	true	Provides information about the Launch context that is used by the Compute service.
launchType	string	true	Specifies the type of launcher to use when launching SAS Compute Servers. The only value currently supported is service, which refers to the Launcher service.
attributes	object	false	Specifies the attributes that control the behavior of sessions, based on this context. See the example for details.
environment	SAS Environment	false	Provides the SAS options and initialization code that is used by the Compute service and its sessions.
authorizedUsers	array [string]	false	Specifies the list of users who are allowed to request sessions using the specified context.
authorizedGroups	array [string]	false	Specifies the list of groups whose memes are allowed to request sessions using the specified context.
authorizeAllAuthenticatedUsers	boolean	false	Specifies whether all authenticated users are allowed to request sessions using the specified context. If true, then authorizedUsers and authorizedGroups are ignored.
facilitateGuest	boolean	false	Specifies whether the guest user is allowed to request sessions using the specified context.
mediaTypeMap	object	false	Specifies optional information that overrides mappings of file extensions to media types in sessions that are launched for this context. The session attempts to use file extensions to determine the media type of files that are returned. Standard IANA type mappings are used. To override the default behavior of the server, specify a mapping from a file extension to a media type name. That media type is then used for that file extension.
resources	array [External Resource]	false	Specifies the resources that have been requested to be added to this context.
queueName	string	false	Specifies the name of the workload queue where Compute servers configured from this context should run. If workload queues are not supported, this specification will be ignored. The value of the queue name is limited to 250 characters.
