Publishing Assets to API Gateway
You need to provide configuration information in Designer to a connection to API Gateway. Designer saves this information in a connection configuration. You can add, edit, and remove connection configurations in Designer.
Before you configure a connection to API Gateway, ensure that the following criteria are met:
*API Gateway is already installed and information about the host address and the port on which API Gateway is running are available.
*A valid user account exists on API Gateway.
Using Designer you can add connections configurations for API Gateway.
* To add a connection configuration for API Gateway
1. In Designer, select Window > Preferences.
2. In the preferences navigation tree, select Software AG > API Gateway .
3. Click Add.
4. In the Add Connection Configuration dialog box, enter the following information:
Field
Description
Name
The name to use for the connection configuration.
Note: The name cannot contain special characters, and characters outside of the basic ASCII character set, such as multi-byte characters.
Host
The host name of API Gateway.
Port
The port number on API Gateway for the connection configuration.
User
The name of a valid user account on API Gateway.
Password
The password for the specified User.
If required, you can omit the password at this time. In such a situation, Designer prompts for the password each time your user authorization is required for connecting to API Gateway.
Save password (in the Eclipse secure storage)
Indicates whether the password for the specified user account should be saved in Eclipse secure storage. API Gateway uses this password from the Eclipse secure storage whenever user authorization is required. If you want to save the password in Eclipse secure storage, select this check box.
If you decide not to save the password in Eclipse secure storage, you must specify your password each time your user authorization is required for connecting to API Gateway.
Secure connection
Indicates whether the session for connection to API Gateway is through HTTP or HTTPS. If you want to open an HTTPS session by using the Secure Socket Layer (SSL), select this check box. If you want to open an HTTP session, clear this check box.
5. To verify whether API Gateway can be accessed by using the specified configuration, click Test.
6. To store the connection configuration details, click OK.
A connection configuration is added to the Connections page with the specified details. The first connection configuration that you create is automatically marked as default. This default configuration is indicated with a check mark on the Connections page. Designer always uses the default connection configuration for API Gateway.
