Starting API-Portal (Linux/UNIX)

SOA Governance and API Management : Administering API Portal : Managing API-Portal : 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 will prompt 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 Software_AG on localhost and using the default username and password, use the command:

Software_AG/API_Portal/server/acc/acc.sh -h localhost -u Clous -pwd g3h31m
-p 18003

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.
