Creating a Simple Alias
You must have the API Gateway's manage aliases functional privilege assigned to perform this task.
A simple alias holds simple key property values. The name of the alias can be used in the configuration of the properties of a routing policy or an email destination for the Log Invocation, Monitor Service Level Agreement, Monitor Service Performance, and Throttling Traffic Optimization policies.
To create a simple alias
1. Expand the menu options icon 
, in the title bar, and select Aliases. 2. Click Create alias.
3. In the Basic information section, provide the following information:
Field | Description |
Name | Name of the alias. |
Type | Select Simple alias. |
Description | Description of the alias. |
4. Click Technical information and specify a value in the Default value field.
5. Specify a stage, if you want the alias to be applicable to a specific stage.
6. Click Save.
For example, if you create a simple alias called hostname with value dev.com and in the routing policy you can specify the https://dev.com/v2endpoint as https://${hostname}/v2. At runtime invocation the simple alias ${hostname} will be replaced with its value dev.com.
