Microsoft has released the LCS API to start and stop customer managed environments. Using these APIs will ensure the LCS environment status is synced with the actual environment.
Now you can start and stop environments through Microsoft Dynamics Lifecycle Services (LCS) via the LCS Environment API.
- Only Customer-managed environments are supported. Self-service environments do not have the same concept of stop and start and are not supported by this API. Microsoft-managed environments are not supported.
- These APIs will trigger/invoke the operation. A successful response only indicates that the trigger was successful.
- For stop, non-success will be returned if the environment is already undergoing another operation or if the environment is already stopped.
- For start, non-success will be returned if the environment is already undergoing another operation but will return success if the environment is already started.
