  • 1.  Does API Portal 4.1 support API Gateway 9.2 with OTK 3.4?

    Posted Sep 20, 2017 08:08 AM

    I'm looking to install API Portal 4.1 and our current gateway is version 9.2 with OTK 3.6. Will this work?

    Hi

    Release Notes 4.1 - CA API Developer Portal - 4.1 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    If you review requirements;

    Tenant API Gateway

    Version 9.2 (ensure that no global policies are configured on API Gateway)

    OTK 4.x (installed with JDBC connection name "OAuth”)

    Points to the same NTP server as the API Portal

     

    So 9.2 is supported but OTK needs to be at the 4.x version.

    Thanks.

    Thanks Charles.

     

    Can you clarify what a global policy means? We currently have an audit-sink policy which I believe is global to the gateway. Is this this the same thing?

    Joaquin, 

     

    Global policies are essentially fragments applied before or after every service policy in the system. Instead of putting the logic in each individual service, you can put them in a 'global policy'. We have 6 identified ones in the Gateway:

     

    message-received
    pre-security
    pre-service
    post-service
    post-security
    message-completed

     

    More information can be found here:

     

    Global Policy Fragments - CA API Gateway - 9.2 - CA Technologies Documentation 

     

    I hope this helps.
