Creating a Simple Alias
You must have the API Gateway's manage aliases functional privilege assigned to perform this task.
A simple alias holds simple key property values. The name of the alias can be used in the configuration of the properties of a routing policy or an email destination for the Log Invocation, Monitor SLA, Monitor Performance, and Traffic Optimization policies.
*To create a simple alias
1. Expand the menu options icon user menu, in the title bar, and select Aliases.
2. Click Create alias.
3. In the Basic information section, provide the following information:
Field
Description
Name
Name of the alias.
Type
Select Simple alias.
Description
Description of the alias.
4. Click Technical information and specify a value in the Default value field.
Note:
You can specify multiple email addresses, if you are creating an email alias, for example, abc@gmail.com, test@gmail.com, and so on.
5. Specify a stage, if you want the alias to be applicable to a specific stage.
6. Click Save.
Note:
If you want to configure this alias in the routing policies, you can follow the syntax ${aliasname}. For example, if you want to route it to an endpoint http/mydevenv.com:7000/api, you can create a simple alias with the name mystage and its value being http/mydevenv.com:7000. The endpoint URL can be specified in the properties as ${mystage}/api.
