You can customize the pages of the three portals in many ways. For example, you can do one or more of the following:
Caution:
The online help that Services Gatekeeper supplies with your PRM Portals provides support for the default configuration only.Oracle recommends the following:
If you add a page to a module, ensure that you have provided online help support appropriate for that custom page.
If you add a page to a module, ensure that you have provided online help support appropriate for the custom module (and its pages).
Add new pages to a portal and provide a new navigation entry point on the left or top menu to enter these new pages.
Add other options to current pages in a portal. For example, you can create a new blacklist action and have it appear in the Actions tab of the APIs pages in Partner and API Management Portal. Or add a new source for API exposure to expose any data as soap or rest API.
Add new functionality to existing pages, such as adding revenue sharing settings for applications, add logic to provide a rolling average of the API usage invocation in the Dashboard of Partner and API Management Portal and so on.
Remove existing functionality such as the need for registration confirmation in Partner Portal, or the Groovy action, or remove all sources for API creation except the one coming from the Network Service Supplier Portal source in Partner and API Management Portal.
Modify existing functionality by changing the workflow for a certain task in a portal, such as creating a network service interface in Network Service Supplier Portal.
Add new pages to the existing portal and provide a new navigation entry point on the left or top menu to enter these new pages.
