Products

• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

A service or policy created in the Gateway may have many versions and related timestamps. How do I find the date and time of a particular service or a version of the service?

Environment

Release : Any

Component : API GATEWAY

Resolution

There are 2 ways to find the creation date and time of the service or a particular version of the service.

1. By using Policy Manager
   • You can log in to the policy manager and click on the "Revision History"
     
   • This screen will show all the versions of the service and their creation timestamps
     
     
     
     
2. By using REST Management Service 
   • To get the details of the service
     • https://<GATEWAY_HOST>:8443/restman/1.0/services?name=<name of the service>
     • This will give you the service ID and all the versions of this service
   • To get the current version time
     • https://<GATEWAY_HOST>:8443/restman/1.0/services/<SERVICE_ID>/versions/active
     • Get the service ID from the result of the above step
     • This will show you the timestamp of this version in UNIX timestamp format (ex: <l7:time>1644441818241</l7:time>)
   • To get any version
     • https://<GATEWAY_HOST>:8443/restman/1.0/services/<SERVICE_ID>/versions/3
     • You can put any version number at the end to get the details of that version
