Enabling Spaces in a Catalog
To use the syndication feature in IBM® API Connect, you must enable Spaces in any Catalog in which you require syndication capabilities.
Before you begin
If Spaces are enabled for a Catalog, Products (and their associated APIs) can be published only to a Space within that Catalog. For information about publishing, see Staging a Product for publishing by using the API Designer, and see Publishing APIs for publishing by using the developer toolkit.
Note: You cannot enable Spaces in a Catalog to
which one or more Products have already been staged or published. If the Catalog does contain staged
or published Products, first complete the following steps for each Product in the Catalog:
After enabling Spaces, re-stage or
re-publish Products, and re-create application subscriptions, as required.
About this task
By default, Spaces are disabled in a Catalog. You enable Spaces by modifying the Catalog settings. After Spaces are enabled for a Catalog, a default Space is automatically created that inherits all of the configuration settings from the Catalog.
Note: You can also enable Spaces by using the developer toolkit CLI; for details, see
the toolkit CLI reference documentation.

-
In the navigation pane of the API
Manager UI, click
Manage, then select the catalog that you want to work with.
