Hi, my name is Denys van Kempen, SAP HANA Academy.
You are watching a video tutorial that is part of a series about the SAP Business Technology
Platform, SAP Integration Suite certification.
covering provisioning API Management This video was recorded in March 2022.
For the latest tutorials on the topic, please check the playlist.
In a previous video of this series we covered how to provision the Open Connector capability
of the suite, This is pretty much the same for API Management,
so we will just highlight the differences.
We start with the launchpad application Manage capabilities brings us to the provisioning
app Select Add capabilities
Select Design, Develop and Manage APIs API Portal is activated by default, the API
Business Hub Enterprise is an optional component select it
Next and activate
As with Open Connectors, this takes about 30 seconds, and then the status will change
to active Two URLs, two apps, cfapps, Cloud Foundry
As with the launchpad and provisioning app, when we try to access the app directly, we
get a page informing us we missed a step for the API portal, the APIManagement.SelfService.Administrator
role needs to be assigned, but as we will see this is actually note the name of the
role but of the corresponding role collection same for the API Business Hub Enterprise,
the AuthGroup.SelfService.Admin role collection needs to be assigned
as a reminder, on the SAP Business Technology Platform we cannot add roles to users directly,
roles are added to role collections, and role collections are assigned to users,
or, preferably,
user groups Let’s take a look at the role collections
Quite a few have been added Here we have APIManagement.SelfService.Administrator
for API Portal onboarding, containing the role onboardingtemplate.
same for the AuthGroup.SelfService.Admin role collection,
with the SelfServiceAdmin role for the developer portal,
bit of legacy here as we have seen there are two portals: the
API Portal and the API Business Hub Enterprise, this was previously called the developer portal,
hence the reference in the description same for the dot syntax and AuthGroup keyword,
this comes from in the Neo environment, the original or first implementation of the SAP
Cloud Platform, HANA Cloud Platform at the time, in case you
wondered, you won’t get any questions about legacy of course.
There are four role collections for the API portal.
For onboarding, administration, catalog integration, and guest use.
and seven role collections for the developer portal, the API Business Hub Enterprise
You are not expected to have these roles memorized.
Just remember that we need to add role collections to user accounts before we can access the
app and the corresponding functionality.
Two approaches we can select the role collection,
edit and add individual users or preferably user
groups or
select a user role collections
assign and select the role collections
you want to assign to this particular user.
For the trial environment, by default
all role collection for API Management are added to the trial user account
for production, this will be different, and there will at least be two accounts,
one for the API developer / admin to access the API portal
and one for the application developer, to access the developer portal, the API Business
Hub Enterprise Let’s take a look at both portals
Back to the launchpad.
The Design, Develop, and Manage APIs tile on the launchpad provides access to the API
Portal, there is no tile for the developer portal here
when we access the app we still get the missing role collection page as we first need to logout
and login for the new authorisations to take effect
Upon first access, the account is being provisioned,
that is, an API Management tenant is created
This takes a bit of time, 3, 4 minutes
after which we are logged out automatically Login again
and here we have the API Portal of SAP API Management
from the header, we can access the API Business Hub Enterprise
Here also we are prompted to logout and login the user interface might look slightly familiar
as does the name and when we navigate to api.sap.com to access
the SAP API Business Hub public website and switch to the classic design,
we get am similar user interface and the idea here, the concept, is that the
API Business Hub Enterprise provides a corporate portal, a corporate view,
showing the APIs available to the enterprise application developer similar to what SAP
is providing here on the public API Business Hub portal.
No APIs are available in the Enterprise portal yet, we will cover this topic in another video,
and we will also explain how the API portal and the API Business Hub Enterprise relate
and discuss the different artifacts: APIs, API providers, Products, and so on.
That’s it for provisioning API Management This video tutorial was recorded by Denys
