You can import already exported archives of APIs, global policies, and other related assets and re-create them in API Gateway. Each artifact in an archive is associated with a universally unique identifier (UUID) across all API Gateway installations.

In such a situation, you can specify whether to overwrite an already existing artifact during the import process.

API Gateway provides the following REST API and the resources to export and import an archive:

For details on the REST API, see the swagger file APIGatewayArchive.json, located at Install directory/IntegrationServer/instances/default/packages/WmAPIGateway/resources/apigatewayservices.
