Generate IIB pattern instance programmatically

We are exploring the options for continuous integration of design and dev activities..

As part of that, we are looking for a feature to create user defined pattern's instance programmatically instead of using toolkit to generate the instance.

If we have the pattern instance configuration file., is there an option
to regenerate an existing pattern instance against the given new
configuration file programatically (without the need of UI and
"Generate" button).

Is there any REST APIs or any work around sol. to create a pattern
instance without using UI?

We understand that IBMIntegrationAPI is only for runtimes and not for build times.

    Idea Review. As part of our policy for regularly reassessing aged ideas we have recently discussed this enhancement request again. We note that there has not been further interest shown (votes or comments) since the last assessment of this idea, so unfortunately this is currently a low business priority for us although acknowledging the benefit it might bring to a small constituency of our users we intend to maintain the status of Future Consideration for now and continue to monitor the requirement for potential future development if other user interest materialises. In the interim, we also note that the ACE message flow API, which is often exploited within the authored pattern, is also available directly (rather than through a pattern instance); so it is already possible to meet the usecase of programmatic generation of message flows.

    RFE Review. Thank you for taking the time to raise this request for enhancement and apologies it has been in Submitted status for so long. Unfortunately we have not yet got a programmatic way to achieve this use case with a public API, but we do agree this would make an excellent enhancement for the product. Status of the RFE is updated to Uncommitted Candidate.
