Refreshing the engine configuration from an engine element

You can use the refresh verb to refresh the policy from engine elements.

Example: The JSON description of an engine refers to the verb in the following way:

"link":
    [
        …
        {
            "href": "http://localhost:8082/7.0/elements/single_fw/1552/refresh",
            "rel": "refresh"
        },
        …
    ],

This verb can be found in each engine type. In this example, it is shown in a Single Firewall.

This verb starts the policy refresh of the specific engine if a policy has already been installed on the engine. It returns a 200 HTTP response status code and a similar upload status description as for the policy upload.
