Apigee Edge requirements for the portal

If you are connecting this release of the portal to an installation of Edge for Private Cloud, then you must connect it to version 4.15.07.00 or later to ensure that all SmartDocs features are supported. See 4.15.07.00 - Apigee Edge for Private Cloud release notes for more.

New features

SmartDocs general availability

SmartDocs is graduating from beta to general availability. Updates and new features include:

  • Support for Swagger 2.0, including import by file or URL, including support for custom-named security objects.
  • Visual design improvements in the templates that generate SmartDocs.
  • Usability and workflow enhancements in the Developer Portal, available through the Content > SmartDocs menu in Drupal.
  • What has been known as "Custom Token" authentication is now called "API Key".
  • Authentication "security" objects defined at the revision level.
  • Configuration of client authentication at the template level. New revisions no longer reset any preconfigured SmartDocs client credentials.

For more feature descriptions, see this blog post.

For SmartDocs documentation, see Using SmartDocs to document APIs.

SmartDocs upgrade process

If you've already been using SmartDocs during the beta period, new features and capabilities in the general availability version require that you upgrade SmartDocs in your developer portal.

Any SmartDocs pages that have already been published in your developer portal will continue to work, but you must follow the update process before editing or publishing any changes to existing or new pages.

Keep in mind that while you can render and publish SmartDocs inside your developer portal, SmartDocs are generated from the API model that lives within Apigee's Edge API Management Services. Any changes you make to an API model in Edge will be the same across all your Pantheon environments (similar to how developers exist across Pantheon environments).

To upgrade from SmartDocs beta to general availability

  1. Update and test the 15.05.27 release in your dev or test environments on Pantheon.
  2. Create a new model to replace any existing API model you have been using.
    • If you have been importing Swagger or WADL documents, import them again into a new revision.
    • If you have been maintaining your API model via the SmartDocs module, export as SmartDocs JSON and import into your new model using file attachment.
  3. Set the security properties of the revision of your model. On the Content > SmartDocs > model page, select Security Settings.
  4. Check any pre-configured authentication in the model settings page (Content > SmartDocs) by clicking Settings in the Operations column.
  5. Update any custom templates to use v6 of the CSS and JS assets, and make changes to reflect any new object names, such as authSchemes and apiSchema. For information on updating SmartDocs templates, see Using SmartDocs to document APIs.
  6. Re-render and publish your model revision.
  7. After validating the new documentation, update your production portal to the 15.05.27 release.

If you are an Edge enterprise customer and have questions or concerns about the upgrade process, please email marsh@apigee.com and cnovak@apigee.com. Otherwise, please use the Apigee Community for the best response.
