Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:
•Copy the JSON files to a directory on the Secure Agent machine.
•Verify permissions needed.
Copy the required JSON files to the Secure Agent machine
The Swagger API catalog source extracts metadata by processing JSON files that conform to the OpenAPI specification. To process the files, the catalog source reads JSON content from the directory or file path that you specify when you configure the catalog source.
Perform the following tasks to ensure the Swagger API catalog source can access the JSON files:
1Create or identify a directory on the Secure Agent machine.
2Copy the JSON files to the directory.
When you configure the catalog source, you can specify the path to either a single JSON file or to a folder that contains multiple JSON files.
Verify permissions
To extract metadata and to configure other capabilities that a catalog source might include, you need account access and permissions on the source system. The permissions required might vary depending on the capability.
Permissions for metadata extraction
To extract Swagger API metadata, you must assign specific access permissions.
The directory and the JSON files on the Secure Agent machine must have Read access permission enabled.
