API Center includes the following changed behaviors in this release:
Published APIs creation for existing Application Integration processes
You can create published APIs directly from existing Application Integration processes.
Previously, when you created a published API from the Services tab on the API Console page, an API was automatically created internally.
For more information, see Manage APIs.
Revision history of a REST API
If you are assigned a Deployer role, you can view only the latest revision of the specific version of a published API. All the managed APIs of an older revision of a published API will refer to the latest revision of the specific version of a published API and the managed API count is displayed accordingly.
Previously, you could view all revisions of a published API. You can no longer view the revision history of an API.
For more information, see Manage APIs.
Shared URL context
You can choose to use the same URL context while creating multiple versions of a managed API that belongs to the same published API.
Previously, you couldn't create more than one managed API with the same URL context.
For more information, see Manage APIs.
Naming convention changes
To differentiate between the names of an API, a managed API, and a published API, and to maintain uniform naming conventions, several fields are renamed in API Center. The following table shows the field label changes:
Page or Tab Name
Old Field Name
New Field Name
New > APIs > REST API > Create > Create API page

API Name. Use the API Name field to define the REST API asset name when you create the API on the REST API page.
Note: You can't edit the API Name after you save it.
