Catalog Management

From the Catalog management page, curate your portal by viewing information about an asset from Exchange, adding or removing assets, and changing the visibility of a version.

The portal supports these service types:

  • Agents

  • AsyncAPI

  • GraphQL

  • gRPC

  • HTTP

  • LLM

  • MCP server

  • REST

  • SOAP

The Catalog management page shows this information:

  • Services in the portal

    Shows the services that have been added to your portal. Administrators can add only those services for which they have Exchange Viewer permission. For more information, see Assigning Permissions.

All administrators are automatically assigned the Exchange Viewer permission for all the services added to the portal. By default, the visibility of the services is set to Administrators. The portal administrator can change the visibility or remove services in the Services in the portal tab.

  • Services in Exchange

    Shows the services that exist in your Exchange organization but haven’t been added to your portal.

Opt in to Increase the Number of Services in the Portal

Enable portal scalability in the Catalog management page. Opt in once for maximum service support in your portal. After enabling this option, you can’t revert to the portal version that supports up to 350 services. New portals automatically scale to 7,000 services.

Make Versions Visible

By default, when you add a new service, the minor version shared with an Administrator is the latest version of the service. The instance visibility is set to Public instances. Only the instances that are public in Exchange are available for end-users to request access to them.

You can manage which version of a service a user can view in your portal. You can set the visibility to Administrators, Members and user groups, Guests, or None.

  • Administrators

    Use this option if you want the version to be seen by the portal administrator only.

  • Members

    Use this option if you want the version to be seen only by logged-in members or specific user groups.

  • Guests

    Use this option if you want the version to be publicly available to anyone.

  • None

    Select no users to hide the version from everyone.

If the visibility is Guests, Members, or user groups, consumer developers can see the new version in the carousel of the portal.

To edit the user visibility that displays for a service:

  1. From the Catalog management page, select Services in the portal.

  2. To search for a service, enter the name, description, category, or tag keyword into the Search box.
