IBM API Connect might throw errors if you try to publish or create API's with same name and version and different capitalization

Troubleshooting


Problem

API's are case sensitive in API Connect. If you create a draft API named "xyz:1.0.0" and then try to import another API with the same name, but different capitalization, for example "Xyz:1.0.0" it will throw an error and you cannot import the API.
Similarly, if multiple products within the same namespace refer to an API using different capitalization for the API name, it will cause errors and prevent you from publishing the second product.

Note: Namespace refers to the same provider organization, catalog, and space(if applicable).

For example, if product A references the API “xyz:1.0.0” and publishes successfully,  a user cannot publish product B if it references the API “Xyz:1.0.0”. The system throws an error that prevents product B from publishing because Product A already uses an API with the same name, but different capitalization.

Symptom

Within the apim pod logs users might see errors like the following:

For Draft API:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.144Z bhendi:error [GUID] [-1763276271] lib/db::execute failed, Code='23505', Message='duplicate key value violates unique constraint "draft_api_lower_namespace_lower1_idx"': duplicate key value violates unique constraint "draft_api_lower_namespace_lower1_idx", stack: error: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "draft_api_lower_namespace_lower1_idx"


For multiple products referencing an API with different capitalization

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.332Z bhendi:error [GUID] [-1955051459] lib/db::execute failed, Code='23505', Message='duplicate key value violates unique constraint "api_lower_namespace_lower1_idx"': duplicate key value violates unique constraint "api_lower_namespace_lower1_idx", stack: error: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "api_lower_namespace_lower1_idx"
