Virtualizing and Publishing an API
You use the Virtualize <API_Name> (Step 3 of 3) wizard to virtualize, and in addition, to publish the virtual API to selected gateways.
1. In CentraSite Business UI, display the details page for the native API.
2. In the action bar for the API, click Virtualize . 3. Navigate to the Virtualize <API_Name> (Step 3 of 3) wizard to display the list of available gateways for publishing the API.
4. From the Available Gateways list, choose one or more gateways to which you want to publish the API.
Or, if you want to publish the API across all the gateways, select the
All Gateways checkbox.
5. In the Advanced Settings node, select the Expose to Consumers checkbox. This allows unauthorized consumers (guests) to search and access the API.
6. Click the Publish button. CentraSite automatically virtualized and publishes the API to the selected gateways.
When publishing a virtual API, without selecting at least one gateway, a warning popup box appears.
