Axway API Manager 7.5.1 SP 1 Readme

Document version: 5 August 2016


Readme for 7.5.1 SP 1

This Readme applies to Axway API Manager 7.5.1 SP 1, for all platforms. The information in this Readme supersedes any corresponding information in the documentation (online or printed) previously supplied for the product.

The main aim of this service pack is to provide fixes for a number of reported defects.

The service pack contains new binaries only and does not overwrite the existing configuration.

File packages: An installation archive is provided for all platforms (for example, APIManager_7.5.1_SP1_Core_win-x86-32_BNYYYYMMDDn.zip for Windows).

Size: The file size differs for each platform. The MD5 checksum is provided for each file.

Corrections and enhancements

This service pack provides the following corrections and enhancements.

Internal ID Case ID Description
RDAPI-3614 00837870 Issue: Rest API Repository decodes URLs incorrectly, violating RFC 2396.

Resolution: Previously, API Manager incorrectly decoded query string parameters containing Unicode characters.

Now, query string parameters are correctly decoded.

RDAPI-3905 00843181

Issue: Swagger v2.0 based API does not open in API Manager Catalog.

Resolution: Previously, the Java error code 429 was not included as an error response code, so API Manager threw the following JavaScript error:

optimized.js:15 Uncaught Error: dijit._WidgetsInTemplateMixin template:errorResponse.reason

Now, the Java error code 429 has been added, and the API opens in API Catalog.

Known issues

Internal ID Case ID Description
RDAPI-3756 00841453 Production issue with API Manager Organizations no longer listed.
RDAPI-4533 00847814 API Manager password reset not working properly for fake email adresses for trial mode.

Install the service pack

Prerequisites

This service pack has the following prerequisites in addition to the prerequisites specified for the main product release:

  1. Shut down any Node Manager or API Gateway instances on your existing installation.
  2. Back up your existing installation. For details on backing up, see the API Gateway Administrator Guide.
  3. Remove any old third-party libraries. To do this, delete the INSTALL_DIR/system/lib/modules directory.
  4. Install the API Gateway Core Server 7.5.1 SP 1 service pack. API Manager 7.5.1 SP 1 will not work without API Gateway Core Server 7.5.1 SP 1 installed.

Installation

This section describes how to install the service pack on an existing installation of API Manager.

Note

Install the API Manager service pack

To install the service pack on your existing API Manager 7.5.1 installation, perform the following steps:

  1. Ensure that your existing API Gateway instance and Node Manager have been stopped. For more details, see the API Gateway Administrator Guide.
  2. Remove any previous patches from your INSTALL_DIR/ext/lib directory (or ../ext/lib directory in an API Gateway instance). These patches have already been included in this service pack. You do not need to copy patches from a previous version.
  3. Unzip and extract API Manager 7.5.1 SP 1 over the apigateway directory in your existing API Gateway installation directory. For example:
  4. tar -xzvf APIManager_7.5.1_SP1_linux-x86-64_BNYYYYMMDDn.tar.gz -C /opt/Axway-7.5.1/apigateway/
  5. Restart your API Gateway instance and Node Manager. For more details, see the API Gateway Administrator Guide.

Note Unzip and extract the service pack as the same user who owns the API Gateway binaries. You can use the ls -l INSTALL_DIR/apigateway/posix/bin command to view the owner of the binaries.
