Issue/Introduction

Configuring the IDMS REST API, how to obtain the values for the apiml section of the application.yml. 

Environment

Release: 19.0

Resolution

To configure the apiml section you first have to install an API Mediation Layer.

The API Mediation Layer software is separate to the IDMS REST API. 
It can be acquired as part of the Brightside Enterprise software package or from the Zowe open source project. 

You can run the IDMS REST API without the API Mediation Layer by specifying enabled: false in the apiml section:

apiml:
    enabled: false
  
Once the API Mediation Layer is installed and running you can configure the apiml section by changing to  enabled: true and adding the hostname, IP address and URL for the running API Mediation Layer.

For example:

apiml:
    enabled: true
    service:
        serviceId: IDMS
        hostname: localhost
        ipAddress: 127.0.0.1
        discoveryServiceUrls: 
            - https://localhost:10011/eureka
