Unpublishing Service Assets from API Portal
Starting from 10.5, CentraSite allows you to publish and unpublish virtual services to and from API Portal through API Gateway .
To publish and unpublish virtual services to and from an API Portal gateway, you must have the following roles or permissions:
*CentraSite Administrator
*Organization Administrator
*API Portal Publisher
*Instance-level Modify permission for API Portal gateway
*If you have the CentraSite Administrator role, you can publish and unpublish virtual service to and from API Portals within any organization.
*If you have the Organization Administrator role or API Portal Publisher role for an organization, you have the ability to publish and unpublish virtual service to and from the API Portal within the specific organization.
Publishing a Service to API Portal gateway refers to the process you use to deploy virtual services to API Gateway and then to API Portal on which they are to be exposed for testing and user consumption.
Doing this involves the following high-level steps:
1. Make sure the virtual service is published to the API Gateway, before the user initiates the Publish action.
2. The user initiates the Publish action and specifies the API Portal to which they are to be published. The user also needs to specify the API Gateway endpoints through which the virtual service can be published to the API Portal .
3. You can only publish virtual service to the API Portal for which you have the required roles or the Modify instance-level permission.
4. CentraSite publishes the virtual service to the specified API Portal.
