The Process of Publishing a Service to API Portal
Publishing a Service to API Portal gateway refers to the process you use to deploy native and Virtual Services to API Portal on which they are to be exposed for testing and user consumption.
The process of publishing a Service to the API Portal gateway is initiated from CentraSite and is carried out on the API Portal server.
Doing this involves the following high-level steps:
1. A user initiates the publish process by selecting the Virtual Services that are to be published, and specifies in which API Portals they are to be published.
2. CentraSite publishes the Virtual Services to each of the specified API Portals.
3. The publishing process continues even if CentraSite encounters a failure with one of the API Portal.
4. CentraSite logs information about the Services that fail at the end of the publish process. If the process of publishing returned specific data about the Service, its metadata is updated as required in the API Portal registry.
