Editing the Basic Details of a REST API
In this task you examine and change the various basic and type-specific attributes associated with the API. In addition, you can examine and change the resources and methods, such as the resources, HTTP methods, parameters, HTTP requests and responses, and the sample messages in the Resources view and the Methods view, as applicable. You can also delete the existing parameters (either the resource parameters or the method parameters), HTTP requests and responses, and the sample messages.
To edit the details of a REST API
1. Display the details page of the REST API (see Viewing the Details of a REST API for details).
2. In the actions bar for the API, click the Edit icon.
3. To edit the API's basic attributes, place the cursor in the appropriate field and modify the text as required.
4. To modify the extended attributes associated with the API, do the following:
a. Select the profile that contains the attribute(s) that you want to modify.
b. Edit the attributes on the profile as necessary.
c. Repeat steps 5.a and 5.b for each profile that you want to edit.
If at any time you want to abandon your unsaved edits, click Close. CentraSite will ask you if you want to save your edits. Click Discard to abandon your edits and return the API's attributes to their previous settings.
5. When you have finished making your edits, click the Save icon to save the changes.
6. When you are prompted to confirm the save operation, click Yes.
