Modifying API Configurations

Overview

The environment information, control policy information, secret information, blacklist and whitelist for API authorization, and APIs that are not published in the RELEASE environment are not asset data. You need to reconfigure this information after importing integration assets.

• Environment information includes the independent domain names, environment variables, cloud server information of load balance channels, and non-default environments.
• Control policy information includes request throttling policies, access control policies, client access control policies, and client quota policies.
• Secret information includes clients' AppCodes and custom backends' configurations of the password or certificate type.
