API Gateway Archive

You can import already exported archives of APIs, global policies, and other related assets and re-create them in webMethods API Gateway. Each artifact in an archive is associated with a universal unique identifier (UUID) across all webMethods API Gateway installations. During importing an archive, the UUID helps in determining whether the corresponding artifact is already available in the webMethods API Gateway. In such a situation, you can specify whether to overwrite an existing artifact during the import process.

webMethods API Gateway provides the following REST API and the resources to export and import an archive:

• GET /rest/apigateway/archive

  Retrieves the archive, which is a ZIP file that contains the selected assets and its dependent assets.

• POST /rest/apigateway/archive

  Imports the webMethods API Gateway archive as well as exports the assets as an archive.
