Create a Service
Create an entry for a service you want to manage in the Oracle API Platform Cloud Service Management Portal.
You can create a SOAP service without importing a WSDL file; you just need to specify the endpoint URL. If you do not import a WSDL file, you will not be able to choose the service when creating a REST to SOAP policy.
To create a service:
- Click Services in the navigation menu sidebar. If the navigation menu sidebar is hidden, click Show/Hide Navigation Menu to show it. If the navigation menu is collapsed and you wish to view the text for the navigation items, click Expand Sidebar.
- From the Services list page, click Create.
- In the Name field, enter the name of the service. Note that the name of the service plus the version should be unique.
- (Optional) In the Version field, enter a version number.
- (Optional) In the Description field, enter a brief description of the service.
- Select the desired type of service from the Service Type list.
- If you selected the HTTP or REST type, enter the endpoint URL and an optional endpoint name.
- If you selected the SOAP type, do the following:
- Click the WSDL File button to upload a WSDL file or zip file containing a WSDL file. If you upload a zip file, it should only contain XSD and WSDL files.
- Click the Choose File button, select the file, and click Open.
- Click OK to parse the file.
- If there is more than one WSDL file, select a main one from the list of files.
- Select the desired port or binding from the Binding list. The Endpoint Name and Endpoint URL fields are populated automatically when a port is selected from the Binding list. If a binding is selected, Endpoint Name is optional, and you must enter an Endpoint URL.
- (Optional) Select the Use Gateway Node Proxy option if the gateway node requires a proxy to call the service.
- Click Create.
