Managing a Virtual Service (REST)
You can rename, delete, deploy or undeploy a virtual service, and attach a REST resource to it.
*To manage a virtual service (REST)
1. Open Software AG Designer and display the CloudStreams Development perspective by clicking Window > Open Perspective > Other > CloudStreams Development.
2. In the CloudStreams Governance view, expand your CloudStreams Governance project.
3. Right-click the virtual service name and choose one of the following tasks from the context menu:
Option
Description
Rename
Use this option to assign a new name to the service. The service must be undeployed before you can rename it (check the Deployed Status field in the Advanced page of the service's Properties view).
Unlike native services, the names of virtual services cannot contain spaces or special characters except _ (underscore) and - (hyphen). Consequently, if you adopt a convention that involves using the name of the service as part of the virtual service name, then the names of the services themselves must not contain characters that are invalid in virtual service names.
Delete
Deletes the virtual service from CloudStreams.
Attach Resource
Use this option to attach a REST resource to an existing virtual service. The new resource will override the old one.
Deploy
Deploys the virtual service to a CloudStreams server target. For more information, see Deploying Virtual Services and Connector Virtual Services.
Undeploy
Undeploys the virtual service from a CloudStreams server target.
4. To change the list of policies that apply to the virtual service, see Modifying Policies.
