Managing Gateways in a Space

If Spaces are enabled in a Catalog, and the Catalog is configured to use one or more DataPower® Gateway services, you can separately control which of those Gateway services is used by each of the Spaces in the Catalog.

Before you begin

To manage Space Gateway settings in the API Manager UI, a user must be assigned a role that has the Space Settings > Manage permission.

For information on adding users to a Space and assigning user roles, see Managing Space membership.

About this task

When you create a Space in a Catalog, the Space is automatically configured to use the same DataPower Gateway services that are used by the Catalog. Therefore, you need to change the Space Gateway settings only in the following situations:

You want the Space to use a subset of the Gateway services that are used by the containing Catalog.
You want to restore to the Space Gateway configuration a Gateway service that has previously been removed.

Note: You can use a Gateway service in a Space only if it is used by the containing Catalog.

Procedure

To manage the Gateway settings for a Space, complete the following steps:

On the Dashboard of the API Manager UI, select the Catalog that you want to work with.
In the submenu navigation banner, click the Spaces menu drop-down arrow to select the Space that you want to work with. The Products tab for the Space opens.
Click Settings > Gateways.
The DataPower Gateway services that are used by the Catalog that contains the Space are listed. By default, the Space uses the same Gateway services that are configured for containing Catalog.
To change the Gateway service configuration for the Space, select Customize gateway services used by this space, then use the slider controls alongside each Gateway service to select which Gateway services you want the Space to use.
