  • 1.  Default Catalog?

    Posted Thu October 05, 2023 09:27 PM

    Hello,

    I have a few catalogs: Sandbox, DEV, Test etc. When I created an API, it always put the API to the Sandbox one. I did not see the option to choose the catalog. Is the sandbox default one automatically selected/used by API Connect? How could I specify which catalog to host a new API being created?

    Thanks and regards

    Frank

    Hiya,

    The Sandbox catalog is somewhat special, it is regarded as something of a live mirror of what is in the "Develop" view and it is where you can do API development, testing and debugging.

    When you choose to publish a product there is a panel in the UI that asks you what catalog to publish it to, that is where you can select another catalog.

    There is a concept of a default catalog, (you can set it in the catalog settings), but that is more about the path of the apis published there and will not have any bearing on publishing from Develop.

    The publish product screen from Develop actually has no default - its a radio group of all your catalogs and none of them are selected by default, so just select the one you want and follow through the wizard.
