Add a native endpoint

The OpenAPI Specification explains the structure and purpose of an endpoint specification. If you create a Service from a specification, APIM 3.0 defines the endpoints, paths, HTTP methods, and configures the request and response for you.

To add a Triggered Task or Ultra Task endpoint to a Service created from a specification or from scratch:

Create the endpoint

  1. With the appropriate version of the Service open, make sure that the Endpoints tab is selected.
  2. Click Add endpoint. The New endpoint panel opens:

  3. For endpoint type, click Triggered or Ultra.
  4. Click the Task field and select the task to add.
  5. In the Tags field, enter one or more tags and press Enter to apply them. Endpoint tags provide a way to group related endpoints in the development environment. You can override tags at the method level. In the development environment, endpoints without a tag show up as Ungrouped in the endpoint dropdown list as shown below.

  6. Optionally, select a Snaplex to override the Server selected at the Service level.
  7. Click Create. The endpoint opens and a message informs you that there are No paths yet.

Next, add one or more paths.
