What Happens When You Start API-Portal?
When API-Portal is installed from the Software AG Installer, the installer installs all the required API-Portal components (also known as runnables).
On Windows, the API-Portal Cloud Controller is installed as a Windows service and is set to start automatically when the machine on which it is installed initializes. You do not have to manually restart API-Portal following a machine restart.
On Linux systems, you need to manually start API-Portal.
When you start API-Portal for the first time after installation, the following items are created:
