Creating a service connector from a Postman collection

Creating a service connector from a Postman collection

You can create a service connector by importing a Postman collection using a defined structure of REST APIs. The service connector inherits the APIs' operations and data structures.
To create a service connector from a Postman collection, perform the following steps:
  1. In
    Application Integration
    , click
    New
    Service Connectors
    .
    The
    New Asset
     dialog box appears. The following image shows the

     dialog box:

    Service Connector from Postman Collection
    , and then click
    Create
    .
    The
    Service Connector from Postman Collection
     page appears.
  3. Define the following basic properties for the service connector on the
    Postman Collection JSON File
     tab:
    • Name
      : Required. The name by which the service connector is made available for
      processes
      . The name must start with a letter or number, and can contain only alphanumeric characters, multibyte characters, spaces, underscores (_), and hyphens (-). The name must not exceed 128 characters.
    • Location
      : Specify the project or folder to save the service connector.
    • Description
      : Optionally, enter a description for the service connector.
    • On the
      Postman Collection JSON File

     on the
    Progress
     tab. You can take corrective actions and import the Postman collection file again.
