Using the top-down approach, use the REST API page to create an operation for an API, and then publish the API. Add the operation details, map an

Application Integration

process to the operation, and configure operational policies and response timeout. After you create the API, save and publish the API.

To create a published API using the top-down approach, you must be assigned the Designer or Admin role.

For more information about creating and publishing an API using the top-down approach, see

Creating an API operation

topic in the

REST API Assets

help.

Using the bottom-up approach, you can create published APIs from existing

Application Integration

processes.

To create a published API using the bottom-up approach, you must be assigned the Deployer or Admin role.

You can create published APIs and subsequent managed APIs for both active and inactive

Application Integration

processes. However, you can't invoke a managed API of an inactive

Application Integration

process.
