CentraSite provided APIs

When you want to perform governed API development with CentraSite and webMethods API Gateway, you can create an API in CentraSite defining the design-time aspects.

The API can be deployed to the webMethods API Gateway. In such cases, you can also see that a particular CentraSite destination is being configured in API Gateway. The API details for the CentraSite provided APIs are set as read only. However, you can edit the runtime aspects such as scope and policies.

Note: When you remove the CentraSite destination from webMethods API Gateway, this removal implies that the API is provided by webMethods API Gateway and therefore the details of the API are not read-only. You can edit them as required.

When you deploy a REST API from CentraSite, you cannot modify the Basic information, Technical information, Resource and methods, and Components sections. The sections are marked as read only. However, you can modify the fields in the API Mocking and Documentation sections.

When you deploy a SOAP API from CentraSite, you cannot modify the Basic information, Technical information, Resource and methods, and Components sections. The sections are marked as read only. However, you can modify the fields in the REST transformation, API Mocking, and Documentation sections.

When you deploy an OData API from CentraSite, you cannot modify the Basic information and Technical information sections. The sections are marked as read only. However, you can modify the fields in the Documentation section.
