Creating a New App Using an OpenAPI Specification

You can create a Flogo app by uploading an API specification file or importing an existing file stored in the API Modeler. You can simply drag the specification file to the UI or navigate to it.

Before you beginFor requirements and considerations, see Using an OpenAPI Specification. For details about the OpenAPI specification, see OpenAPI Specification.
    Procedure
  1. Log in to TIBCO Cloud™ Integration.
  2. On the Apps page, select Create/Import. The What do you want to build? dialog is displayed.
  3. To create a Flogo app using an OpenAPI specification: 
    • Under Quickstart > All app types > APIs, click Create an app from OpenAPI.
    • On the left, select a category that identifies the type of integration you need. On the right, click Create an app from OpenAPI.
  4. In the block that displays below your selection, select one of the following options:
    Create a flow using an API specification that exists in the TIBCO Cloud™ Integration-API Modeler. To do this, on the API Specs tab, select the specification that you want to use.
    Use an API specification saved locally on your computer by uploading it to Flogo. To do this, click the Upload file tab. Browse to the saved API specification on your local machine or drag your saved API specification into the dialog.
  5. Click Import OpenAPI spec.

The app is created and the App Details Page is displayed for the new app. Your app is running but has zero instances. To start and scale your app, see Starting, Stopping, and Scaling apps.

Note: While creating an app with a REST Trigger - ReceiveHTTPMessage, If the API specification changes, you can merge the changes into an existing app by either uploading the updated specification file again. Or, click Refresh beside the Browse tab under API Spec in the REST trigger configuration window.

To Refresh the API spec file, you must make the API spec editable by clicking in the trigger configuration window.

For any flows that are already implemented, adding, or deleting any method in TCAM does not impact the flows in the app.

If there are any changes made in the Spec file in TCAM UI while your trigger configuration window is also open in Flogo, Refresh does not appear in the trigger configuration window. Close and reopen the trigger configuration window.
