Projects

Overview​

Each Project represents an API endpoint that supports one or more front-end applications. Projects bundle APIs into groups that align with specific use cases. For example, you can create a Project for your lead-to-cash workflow.

You use the Projects component of enosix Connect to:

  • Create a Project
  • Add Connections to back-end SAP systems
  • Bundle Apps within a Project
  • Add APIs to a Project
  • Create a Package to save a snapshot of the current APIs
  • Publish a Package to create an App (an API endpoint running in the cloud)

enosix Connect provides step-by-step wizards to simplify each phase of this process.

Project Facts​

  • Each Project within an Account must have a unique name.
  • Each Project typically has multiple Apps representing the different deployment environments (for example: development, test, production) that exist for it.
  • A Package is a snapshot of the APIs in a Project at a specific point in time.
