Starting API Portal (Linux/UNIX)
All API Portal components must be started before the API Portal user interface can be opened in a browser. If any of the components are not started, your browser displays an error. For example:
403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.
*To start API Portal on Linux/UNIX
1. Start the API Portal Cloud Controller (ACC) by running the Software AG_directory /API_Portal/server/acc/acc.sh script, specifying the following:
*Machine on which the cloud agent is running (this will always be localhost) with the -h command line switch.
Note:
If the cloud agent is not running, you can start it by running the CloudAgentApp.sh script. Navigate to the Software AG directory/API_Portal/server/bin directory and run the command ./CloudAgentApp.sh start.
*Username (default: Clous) of the cloud agent user with the -u command line switch.
*Password (default: g3h31m) of the cloud agent user with the -pwd command line switch.
You can also omit the password. If you do so, the ACC prompts you for it.
*Port information for the cloud agent with the -p command line switch.
For example, to start the ACC installed in the directory SoftwareAG on localhost and using the default username and password, use the command:
SoftwareAG/API_Portal/server/acc/acc.sh -h localhost -u Clous -pwd g3h31m
-p 18011
2. At the ACC command prompt, type startall to start all components..
3. Verify the status of all API Portal components. For details, see Verifying the Status of API Portal Components.
Note:
You can configure API Portal in a way that all services start automatically. You can set the autostart mode with ACC>set autostart.mode=all to automatically start all the portal services once the Cloud Controller starts.
