API step

  1. Specify an API step name in the Name field.
  2. Specify an API step description in the Description field.
  3. Click SELECT.

    A dialog box is displayed to search for API operations which are available in API Gateway.

    1. Select a product from the drop-down list.
    2. Specify a search string and click the Search icon.
    3. Click Show More, if the operation you are searching for is not in the list.
    4. Select an operation.
    5. Click OK.

      The product and operation description are displayed.

  4. Enable Optional toggle if you want to make the ION API Step optional, so that if the optional step fails the whole APIFlow does not fail and continues to run.

    The failure is considered when the status code returned by the step is upwards from 4xx. For apiflows using parallel flows, even if any optional step in the parallel flow fails it would consider that parallel path to be complete. The only way to identify whether any optional step has failed in the apiflow is by checking whether the output parameter associated with that apiflow is returning null.
