Gateway services [Settings]
A gateway service provides the configuration of the web service enablement of a service destination, along with the information that maps to one or more target destinations.
To view this page in the console, click the following path:
.
- The gateway service is made available at a different web address to the target service, so you can replace or relocate the target service without changing the details for the associated gateway service.
- You can have more than one target service (that is, more than one implementation of the same logical service) for each gateway service.
- The gateway service can be made available on a different service integration bus to the target service.
- The gateway provides a common interface to the services in each set. Your gateway service users need not know where each underlying service is located, or whether the underlying service is being provided internally or sourced externally, or whether there are multiple target services available for a single gateway service.
