After you have configured an automation server and system of record (SOR) so that you can remotely start jobs on the automation server, you can implement a continuous integration and development pipeline with the branches REST and merges REST services. These services detect potential conflicts before a merge, merge rules in a branch, obtain the status of the merge, and create branch reviews. By remotely starting jobs that automatically perform branch operations, your organization can deliver higher-quality software more quickly.

For more information about response codes, see Pega API HTTP status codes and errors.

• Understanding the branches REST service

  Use the branches REST service to retrieve a list of conflicts before you run tests and merge branches and perform additional tests on conflicts before performing a merge operation. You can also create branch reviews.

• Understanding the merges REST service

  Use the merges REST service to obtain the status of the merge that you created by using the merge subresource.
