Advanced API Catalog features configuration

As a system programmer who wants to configure advanced API Catalog features of the API Mediation Layer, you can customize API Catalog parameters by modifying the file <Zowe install directory>/components/api-catalog/bin/start.sh.

• API ML configuration
• API Catalog branding

API ML configuration

• apiml.catalog.hide.serviceInfo

  This parameter is used to hide the instance URL value of all services registered to the API ML in the API Catalog. This customization can be useful when the service owner does not want to expose sensitive information such as the hostname.

  Set the value of the *apiml.catalog.hide.serviceInfo parameter to true to hide the instance URL for all services registered to the API Catalog.

  In your Zowe YAML configuration (typically zowe.yaml), set this parameter by defining configs.apiml.catalog.hide.serviceInfo.

  Follow this example to define this parameter globally.

  Example:

    configs:
       apiml:
          catalog:
              hide:
                  serviceInfo: true

  An alternative is to define this parameter only for a high availability instance on lpar1.

  Example:

    haInstances:
      lpar1:
        configs:
          apiml:
             catalog:
                hide:
                    serviceInfo: true

API Catalog branding

It is possible to customize the logotype and selected style options directly in zowe.yaml. The following properties can be set under apiml.catalog.customStyles:

• logo
  Specifies the location of the logo that will replace the default Zowe logo in the API Catalog header. The supported image formats are: svg, png and jpg/jpeg.

• titlesColor
  Specifies the title color.

• fontFamily
  Specifies the font family to use across the API Catalog.

• headerColor
  Specifies the HTML color of the header element in the API Catalog home page

• backgroundColor
  Specifies the HTML color of the main background across the API Catalog

• textColor
  Specifies the HTML color of the main text across the API Catalog

• docLink
  Specifies a custom link to be displayed in the header. Use this property to refer to applicable documentation. The format is <link_name>|<link_url>
  Example: docLink: Custom Documentation|https://somedoc.com

  Follow this example to define this parameter globally.

  Example:

    configs:
       apiml:
          catalog:
              customStyles:
                  logo: /path/to/logo.png
                  titlesColor: #F7190E
                  fontFamily: Roboto
                  headerColor: grey
                  backgroundColor: #FFFFFF
                  textColor: blue
                  docLink: Custom Documentation|https://somedoc.com
