How to delete an API from the CF API Manager Catalog?

[AlHolden]

Using the CF API Manager Portal, I've added a new API by importing a cfc - using the "Create REST API From SOAP" tool.

I would like to remove it now, but cannot see any button in the Edit screen or elsewhere to do so.

How do I delete an API from the catalog?

Could it be a permissions issue? I see that this UI does not provide the "Update" link mentioned elsewhere.

Thanks,

Al

Hi Al,

Please follow the below steps.

1. Log in to http://localhost:9000/portal/  or use your URL.

2. Go to My APIs>Select ALL in all the drop down. Please check the screenshot below.

3. Once you see all your APIs, the bottom of the API, there is a Greater then symbol hover your mouse and click on delete.

Please let me know if this works.

Thanks,

Thank you Priyank - this was almost the correct answer.

The APIs were not appearing on this page - under the ALL filter - because they were in DRAFT mode.

Once I set the ALL + DRAFT dropdowns filters - then they appeared.

Perhaps my APIM version needs an update, but there's no UPDATE button.

Thanks again.

Hi Al,

Can you please check the build number and share it.

Thanks,

Hi Priyank;

This is a paradox. There is no "UPDATE" button visible for me. The "Log" button is directly above the "Analytics Dashboard". Therefore I cannot obtain the current build number. The hosting firm has just told me that this is about user permissions, and they will resolve this for me.

This is a classic UI problem without a common answer: When a user does not have access to a feature, do you HIDE the feature (which will increase your support volume as evidenced here), or do you show - but DISABLE - the feature, perhaps with a tool tip to explain why?
