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. 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.

Add Paths

For each Path (route) for this endpoint:

1. Click Add path to open the Add new path panel:
   
   
   
   
2. Add a Description to clarify the purpose of this endpoint path.
3. For Routing method, click Rules to specify a simple path or Expression to define a condition for the path. Refer to Endpoint configuration for an example expression.
4. Optionally, add an Upstream path that will be appended to the URL.
5. Click plus to add any required parameters. The parameters will be appended to the URL. Parameter configuration describes parameter options.
6. Click plus to add one or more Methods. Method configuration describes method options.
7. Click Create.

If the Catalog Policy contains the appropriate rules, the endpoint is ready. If not, apply a Policy at the Service or endpoint level, and you are ready to test.
