Add a Virtual SOAP API
You use the Create New Asset page to add a new Virtual SOAP API to the registry.
1. In the activity bar, click Create Asset. This opens the Create New Asset page.
2. In the Basic Information section, complete the fields as necessary.
In this field...
Do the following...
Name
(Mandatory) Enter a name for the Virtual SOAP API. A Virtual API name can contain any character (including spaces).
The Virtual SOAP API name does not need to be unique within the catalog. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple Virtual SOAP APIs of the same type "Service" the same name. As a best practice, we recommend that you adopt appropriate naming conventions to ensure that Virtual SOAP APIs are distinctly named.
Type
Choose Virtual Service from the drop-down list in the dialog box.
Organization
Choose an organization from the drop-down list in which you want to create Virtual SOAP APIs.
Note:  
The drop-down list shows only the organizations to which you are permitted to create Virtual SOAP APIs.
If you specify an organization, the newly created Virtual SOAP API will be created in this organization. If you do not specify an organization, the Virtual API is created in the Default Organization.
Version
(Optional) Enter an identifier for the initial version of the Virtual SOAP API.
Description
(Optional) Enter a comment or descriptive information about the Virtual SOAP API.
Import a File
Specify whether the input file will be read from your local file system (the File option) or from a URL-addressable location on the network (the URL option).
If the file you are importing resides on the network, specify its URL.
If the file resides in your local file system, specify the file name. You can use the Browse button to navigate to the required folder.
Advanced Settings
In the Advanced Settings node, do the following:
*Credentials - If you have specified a URL, and the site you want to access via the URL requires user authentication, enter a username and password for authentication at the URL site.
*Resolution - Choose a resolution strategy, which will allow you to specify how an already existing imported/included file is handled. For each of the imported/included files you have one of these options:
*Overwrite the importing file with new content.
*Create a new version of the file with the new content (if, for example, you want to modify a WSDL file but want to retain its previous version).
3. Click Next to leave the Create New Asset page.
4. In the Preview panel, review the basic information for the Virtual SOAP API before you actually add to the CentraSite registry.
5. Click Save to add the new Virtual SOAP API to CentraSite.
The details page for the Virtual API that you just created is displayed.
