Request Processing

These policies are used to specify how the request message from an application has to be transformed or pre-processed and configure the masking criteria for the data to be masked before it is submitted to the native API. This is required to protect the data and accommodate differences between the message content that an application is capable of submitting and the message content that a native API expects. The policies included in this stage are:

• Invoke webMethods IS
• Request Transformation
• Validate API Specification
• Data Masking
• Custom Extension

  Custom Extension policies allow you to handle requirements that might not be provided by the out-of-the-box policies. You can add these custom extensions into webMethods API Gateway policy stages. To learn more about Custom Extension, see Custom Policy Extension.
