Create a Service

What?

As a service developer, this is the core of your business. You want to create new services and publish them to allow application developers to use the services.

Steps

1. Open an organization and go to the Services tab. For example, for the organization 'Music 4 all', no services have been created yet:

   

2. Click the New Service button. A modal opens:

   

3. Specify at least the mandatory information: Service Name, Initial Version and Service Identifier.

4. The other fields are optional. You can upload an image which serves as a logo

   (

   max 150 kb

   )

   . For example:

   

5. Ready? Click Create Service. The new service is created:

   

   You will have to complete the service implementation, definition and plans before you can publish the service.

   The Trust1Gateway Publisher application will guide you through these next 4 to 5 steps by means of a wizard.

6. Configuration Wizard

   1. Step 1

      : Provide the implementation information. Go to the Implementation tab page. This is where you specify the API Type

      (

      by default, it is REST

      )

      , the API Scheme

      (

      by default, it is HTTPS

      )

      , the API context path, and one or more API Targets

      (

      which consists of either an IP or host name, and a port number

      )

      . Optionally, you can define connect, read and send timeouts.

      

      Ready? Click save.

   2. Step 2: define the service. Upload the swagger definition for your service. Only Swagger 2.0 JSON definition files are currently supported!

   3. Step 3

      : Associate one or more plans with the service. You can choose from the list of locked plans which exist within the organization you are working in. Select whether or not you want to automatically accept contract requests or if you want to manually approve them. Optionally, you can require potential consumers to agree to a terms and conditions prior to requesting a contract:

      

      Ready? Click Save.

   4. Step 4

      : Select which marketplace to make the service available on. Optionally, you can hide the service on a specific marketplace, meaning it will only be visible to users with Administrator privileges.

      

   5. Step 5

      : If you opted to manually accept contracts in Step 3, you will need to provide a Readme description here, optionally describing what a prospective consumer needs to do prior to a contract being accepted.

      

      Ready? Click Save.

Result

When you have created a service and you have specified the implementation, the definition and at least one plan, the service is ready to be published.
