API Catalogs

An API Catalog is a component within your Provider Organization that provides a logical partition within your Provider Organization as well as the Developer Portal and the gateway executing the APIs themselves. This logical separation will be apparent in the Developer Portal and the URL used to invoke the APIs themselves as they will be unique for each Catalog. Catalogs are typically used to segregate each environment within your software development life cycle (SDLC). For example, you might configure DEV, STAGE, QA, and PROD Catalogs to represent each environment. You will see these as logical partitions within API Manager, however, you can choose to have different physical gateway services for each Catalog.

Now that you have your Provider Organization configured, you can move on to configuring your Catalog(s). The owner of the Provider Organization, or anyone that the owner has invited to the Provider Organization, can now log in to API Manager to perform this task...
