HI All,

We are working on IBM API Connect SaaS Base Edition.

Is there a way to echo a message and setting headers back to client without invoking a backend? The same technique in a DataPower service that sets the service variable  skip backside. 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,
The API Gateway only has a single directional assembly rule, unlike the multi protocol gateway where you had separate request and response rules and required the skip-backside service variable you'd specify in your request rule to skip response rule processing.  The API Gateway will send back to the client the contents of message.body and message.headers that are present when the assembly completes, so an assembly without an invoke policy should be the same pattern as skip-backside.  Are you seeing anything different?
Regards,

Steve
