Configuring the default gateway services for Catalogs

Configure the list of default gateway services that are available to new Catalogs.

About this task

One of the following roles is required to configure Catalog Defaults:

  • Administrator
  • Owner
  • A custom role with the cloud settings:manage permission

You publish APIs by adding them to a product and then publishing the product to a catalog. To be able to publish products to a catalog, the catalog must be assigned at least one gateway service so that the APIs in the product are available to be called at a gateway service endpoint. You can assign more than one gateway service to a catalog, and they can be of mixed types, DataPower® API Gateway and DataPower Gateway (v5 compatible).

A product is gateway type specific, either DataPower API Gateway or DataPower Gateway (v5 compatible). By default, when you publish a product to a catalog, it is published to all the assigned gateway services of the same gateway type as the product, but you can choose to publish the product only to selected gateway services, of that type, at publish time; see Publishing a draft product for more information. The APIs in the product will be available to be called at all the specified gateway service endpoints.

The procedure described in this topic specifies the gateway services that are assigned by default to newly created catalogs, but you can change the assigned gateway services for a specific catalog; see Creating and configuring catalogs.

Procedure

To configure the gateway services that are assigned to new Catalogs by default, complete the following steps:

  1. In the Cloud Manager, click Settings Settings.
  2. In the Settings navigation list, click Catalog Defaults.
  3. Click Edit to change the list of default gateway services.
  4. Select the required gateway services, then click Save.

Results

When a new Catalog is created in a provider organization, the default gateway services are automatically assigned to it. Any changes you make to the list of default services affects only the Catalogs that are created after you save your changes. Existing Catalogs are not affected.
