Creating an API Group

Constraints

The system allocates a subdomain name to the API group for internal testing. The subdomain name can be accessed up to 1000 times a day. To give your users access to your APIs, bind independent domain names to their API group. Enable or disable API access by using the Debugging Domain Names switch. Turning off this switch will hide the debugging domain name, which is then displayed as --.

Prerequisites

Each API group must belong to an integration application. Before creating an API group, ensure that an integration application is available, or create one.

Procedure

1. Log in to the ROMA Connect console. On the Instances page, click View Console of an instance.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose API Connect > API Groups. In the upper right corner, click Create API Group and select Create Directly.
3. On the page displayed, configure the following parameters and click OK.
