Publishing a process

Publishing a process

You must publish a process to invoke or run the process.
You can also publish multiple processes in bulk. For more information, see Publishing Application Integration assets in bulk.
When you publish a process, Application Integration activates the API. It generates service URLs, a Swagger file, an OpenAPI 3.0 file, and a WSDL file for the process. You can use the service endpoint URLs to invoke the process. You can use the Swagger, OpenAPI 3.0, and WSDL files to view the API definitions of the process.
If you edit a published process, you must publish the process again for the changes to get reflected. Otherwise, the process status changes to
Outdated
in the
Property Details
dialog box and on the
Explore
page. The
Outdated
status indicates that the process contains unpublished changes.
  1. On the
    Explore
    page, navigate to the process that you want to publish and click
    Publish
    .
    Application Integration publishes the process and activates the API. It generates the service URLs, a Swagger file, an OpenAPI 3.0 file, and a WSDL file.
    If you do not specify the allowed groups or allowed users, or allow anonymous access for the process, Application Integration does not generate the service URLs, Swagger file, OpenAPI 3.0 file, and WSDL file.
  2. On the
    Actions
    menu, click
    Properties Detail
    to view the API status, generated service URLs, Swagger file, OpenAPI 3.0 file, and WSDL file.
    The
    Properties Detail
    dialog box appears.
    The following image shows the
    Properties Detail
    dialog box:
    The image shows the generated service URLs, Swagger file, OpenAPI 3.0 file, and WSDL file.
    The status indicates that the API is active.
    When you publish a process from
    Application Integration
    for the first time, the API is activated and displayed on the
    APIs
    page in
    Application Integration Console
    . Later, when you activate or deactivate the API from the
    APIs
    page,
    Application Integration
    also updates the API status in the
    Properties Detail
    dialog box. Republishing a process with an inactive API status does not activate the API. You must activate the API from the
    APIs
    page to make the API available for the user. For more information about activating and deactivating the API, see
    APIs
    in the Monitor help.
    You can also view the service URL and SOAP service URL, and use them to invoke the process. The
    Endpoints
    section indicates if the process is configured to only accept HTTP authorization requests from the API Gateway.
    You can click the
    View Swagger File
    ,
    View OpenAPI 3.0 File
    , and
    View WSDL File
    links to view the associated Swagger file, OpenAPI 3.0 file, and WSDL file.
