Service plan apiportal-apiaccess in the API Management, API Portal

[michał_badura]

Hi all, I'm trying to set up our API Portal. API Management, API Portal is subscribed for my subaccount and it's also entitled for API Management, API Portal with the service plans apim-as-route-service and on-premise-connectivity. No other service plans are available. In Trust Configuration I assigned all possible role collections to my user.

Now, according to step 9 of the setup documentation I should go to API Portal application. There I have to fill some data, among them Host Alias for Virtual Host. Since I don't know, where do I find this, I wanted to request a new, as documented. Two prerequisites are needed here, one of them is Creating a Service Key. Two further prerequisites are fullfiled (API Management, API Portal is subscribed, my user has the role Space Developer). But in step 4 of the documentation I should choose the service plan apiportal-apiaccess, which is not available for me.

What do I miss, what am I doing wrong?

I would very appreciate any hints and clues.

Best regards

Michał

Afaik know, you don't need to set up a service instance to get the API Portal running. The virtual host will be part of the URL of your APIs. If I recall correctly, you can enter an arbitrary string.
