Publish Web API
In the Policy Manager, Web API and non-SOAP applications are published using the Publish Web API Wizard. This wizard guides you through the publication process, allowing you to enter connection and routing information and access credentials for the application. You can also publish a REST service proxy using the Publish REST Service Proxy Wizard.

In the Policy Manager, Web API and non-SOAP applications are published using the Publish Web API Wizard. This wizard guides you through the publication process, allowing you to enter connection and routing information and access credentials for the application. You can also publish a REST service proxy using the Publish REST Service Proxy Wizard.
Publishing the application adds it to the Services and Policies list, establishes the non-SOAP application's initial policy in the policy development window, and allows authorized clients to access the application through the Gateway. After publication, you can modify the Gateway URL that receives requests for the application, if necessary. You can also modify the properties of the service.
(1) The Policy Manager differentiates between SOAP web services and non-SOAP applications. To publish, edit, or view a SOAP web service, see Publish SOAP Web Service. Non-SOAP policies do not support the message-level security assertions found in the XML Security assertions. (2) Publishing a non-SOAP application creates a default policy that contains an implicit "All Assertions Must Evaluate to True" composite folder that is not visible. If this assertions has been placed in security zone, ensure that you have at least Read permission to that assertion (for example, you have the "Manage X Zone" role.)
