Swagger-Promote has been refactored into a new APIM-CLI, which is more powerful and supports more flexible use-cases.
Checkout the new API-Manager CLI:
https://github.com/Axway-API-Management-Plus/apim-cli
This project provides you with a tool that simplifies your DevOps experience with the Axway API-Manager Version 7.x.
The program works based on the API-Definition (as Swagger or a WSDL) + an API-Configuration-File and replicates this "state" into the API-Manager. Consider the API-Definition + API-Config as the "desired" state and API-Manager has the "actual" state. This program will compare both, the desired with the actual state, and performs all necessary actions to bring the API-Manager API into the desired state.
Watch this video (28 min): https://youtu.be/2i8i1zMAMps to get an overview + demo.
With that, an API-Developer is just providing the Swagger-File or WSDL (e.g. Code-Generated or using a Swagger-Editor) and the API-Config. When checked in, the CI/CD-Pipeline picks it up and replicates it into the API-Manager. This includes Zero-Downtime-Upgrade of existing applications, which might have an active subscription to an API. Learn more in the documentation.
Today the following API-Properties are already supported and can be controlled externally:
- State-Handling (Unpublished, Published, Deprecated & Deleted)
- API-Summary, API-description
- API-Image
- API-Version
- API-Path
- API-Inbound-Security settings
- incl. all custom settings (e.g. API-Key settings, etc.)
- Outbound-Custom-Policies
- Routing, Request, Response, FaultHandler
- Outbound Authentication
- Backend Base-Path
- CORS-Setup
- V-Host
- Tags
- Custom-Properties
- Quota-Management (Application- & System-Default-Quota)
- also handling Application Quotas manually configured while updating an API
- Client-Organization handling
- Query-String routing

By using Swagger Promote to control your Axway API management infrastructure it becomes a key component of your CI/CD process. Product quality is therefore very important so that you can be confident that Swagger Promote is doing what it's supposed to do.
To achieve this quality bar, Swagger-Promote was developed from the beginning in a way that it can be tested fully automatically. The test process consists of different scenarios, which contain various API-Desired states, which are transferred into Actual state by Swagger-Promote and finally checked if the Actual State in the API-Manager is correct.
With the most recent released version 1.6.5 the automated End-2-End test suite contains of 104 different scenarios, which includes more than 250 executions of Swagger-Promote (Import & Export) following each by a validation step. The test suite is executed at Travis CI for the following versions:
| Version | Branch | Status | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.6.2 SP2 | test-with-7.6.2-SP2 |  |
|
| 7.6.2 SP3 | test-with-7.6.2-SP3 |  |
|
| 7.6.2 SP4 | develop |  |
|
| 7.7 | test-with-7.7 |  |
|
| 7.7 SP1 | test-with-7.7-SP1 |  |
|
| 7.7 SP2 | test-with-7.7-SP2 |  |
|
| 7.7 20200130 | test-with-7.7-20200130 |  |
|
| 7.7 20200331 | test-with-7.7-20200331 |  |
Also the March-Release works, but some of the Quota-Tests are a flaky. |
Also version 7.5.3 is supported, but not fully automated tested.
