If You Migrate REST-based API from a Pre-9.7 Release If you have REST-based APIs or virtual REST APIs that were created prior to version 9.7, these REST APIs will continue to hold the old version's metadata in the enhanced REST service interface implemented by current version of CentraSite.
If these conditions are not satisfied, all or part of the publish user interface controls will be disabled when you view the API or the virtual API in Business UI.
