ActivateTopologyActivate a topology.

Resolves all connectivity requests in the sandbox, and marks unshared resources as "in use".

Syntax 

ActivateTopology(reservationId,topologyFullPath,out activatedTopology,out resources,out attributes,out routes,out connectors, out segments,out resultXml);

Parameters

TypeNameDescription
stringreservationId
Specify the string that represents the reservation’s unique identifier.
stringtopologyFullPath
Specify topology (name or full path). For full path, specify the full path from the root to the topology, separated by slashes. For example: FolderName/Topologies/TopologyName.
out string[,]activatedTopology
The activated topology and its associated values.
out string[,]resources
List of resources and resource values associated with the activated topology.
out string[,]attributes
Attributes and attribute values for resources associated with the specified topology.
out string[,]routes
Routes and route values associated with the activated topologies.
out string[,]connectors
