Updating an API using import/export tool in WSO2 API manager

Question

API manager import/export tool is useful in a situation where the api is not available at all in the target environment. What is the best way to move the updates to an API from one environment to another, without incrementing the API version?

I can think of a way to remove the API in the target environment, and import the updated API zip file again. Is there a better way to achieve this?

Answer 1

I believe this issue has been fixed in wso2am 2.1 version. Following is JIRA opened for exactly same scenario you have explained above. APIMANAGER-4569 Support updating an API with API import tool

WSO2-API-Manager-2-1-0 release note says so.[APIMANAGER-4569] - Support updating an API with API import tool

I have not try it myself, you may want to try new version. Thanks.
