Virtualize and Publish Virtual OData Service to Gateways
You use panel 3 of the Virtualize Your API page to configure the gateways for publishing the Virtual OData Service. The publishing operation allows the API Providers to expose the Virtual OData Service in the selected gateways. Clients can then access and examine the usage of the exposed Virtual OData Service.
1. Navigate to (Step 3 of 3) of the Virtualize <Service_Name> wizard.
2. In the Gateway list, select the gateways to publish the Virtual OData Service.
The available gateways are:
*API Portal
*Mediator
*Insight Server
3. In the Sandbox list, select the category by which the gateways are classified.
4. Select the check box of a single gateway, or select the check boxes of multiple gateways to publish the Virtual OData Service.
5. (Applicable for an API Portal gateway only). Configure the sandbox categories for publishing the Virtual OData Service to API Portal gateways. Follow these steps:
a. In the field labeled Sandbox, click the Configure icon.
b. In the API Portal Settings dialog box, select the sandbox category to publish the Virtual OData Service.
6. (Applicable for a Mediator or Insight Server gateway only). Select the Expose to Consumers option button to allow clients to simply access and examine the usage of the exposed Virtual OData Service.
7. Do one of the following:
*Click Virtualize to create virtual (proxy) copy of Web Service (without publishing the newly created Virtual Service to the selected gateways).
*Click Publish to create virtual (proxy) copy of Web Service, and simultaneously publish the newly created Virtual Service to the selected gateways.
A Virtual OData Service asset instance is created in the specified organization and registered with the CentraSite registry/repository. The details page for the Virtual OData Service that you just created is displayed.
8. Configure the extended attributes of the Virtual OData Service asset as described later in this topic.
