Edit online

Before you begin

You must have the webMethods API Gateway's manage packages and plans assigned to perform this task.

About this task

You can modify the basic information, include or exclude plans and APIs of the package. You can modify a package when it is either in active or inactive state. If you modify a package when it is in the active state, the following points are applicable:

  • If you remove an API from the package, subscribers cannot leverage the service of that API.
  • If you add an API to a package, subscribers can leverage the service of the API without performing any setup.
  • If a package's plan has active subscribers, you cannot remove that plan from the package.
