Overview of this book

IBM API Connect enables organizations to drive digital innovation using its scalable and robust API management capabilities across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. With API Connect's security, flexibility, and high performance, you'll be able to meet the needs of your enterprise and clients by extending your API footprint. This book provides a complete roadmap to create, manage, govern, and publish your APIs. You'll start by learning about API Connect components, such as API managers, developer portals, gateways, and analytics subsystems, as well as the management capabilities provided by CLI commands. You’ll then develop APIs using OpenAPI and discover how you can enhance them with logic policies. The book shows you how to modernize SOAP and FHIR REST services as secure APIs with authentication, OAuth2/OpenID, and JWT, and demonstrates how API Connect provides safeguards for GraphQL APIs as well as published APIs that are easy to discover and well documented. As you advance, the book guides you in generating unit tests that supplement DevOps pipelines using Git and Jenkins for improved agility, and concludes with best practices for implementing API governance and customizing API Connect components. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to transform your business by speeding up the time-to-market of your products and increase the ROI for your enterprise.

Creating catalog scoped user-defined policies

As you continue down your API development path, you might find that you and other developers within your organization continuously use the same set and sequence of policies within all, or many, of your APIs. Perhaps this is a standard laid down in your development organization that all APIs must implement. To ensure consistency and increase efficiency, reusability is always a good choice. Creating a Catalog scoped UDP will allow you to wrap all of these built-in APIC policies in one reusable policy that will show up on the assembly palette when developing APIs within the defined catalog. Remember, a Catalog scoped UDP can only use built-in APIC policies and is only available to APIs with the defined Catalog.

Before defining a UDP, you would likely want to design and test the policy flow that you want to make reusable. To demonstrate this, let's take a look at an example UDP for our healthcare organization that we might want to build...
