Hi David,

Was there anything that you changed on your HPC Trial before retrying? I am getting the same issue and I can't even find a logfile that might point me in the right direction.

Hi Nick,

so you see the SAP API Management tile on HCP Trial as "Not Enabled", but when you click on it nothing happens? Do you get any error messages or any other feedback?

Regards,

Holger.

[former_member187113]

Hi Holger,

When I click on it, it comes back (after a few seconds of Processing) as Failed.

Thanks

[Former Member]

Hi Holger,

API Portal it's working fine for me.

Thanks you.

[Former Member]

Hi Holger,

do you have some news about the issues on the Api dev portal ?

I would like consume my api service from app fiori. How can i do that without the dev portal ?

Thanks for your return.

Best regard.

Edriss

[ElijahM]

Hi Edriss,

Sorry that your developer portal is still down. If you wish to consume an API service from a Fiori app without specifically going through developer portal, you can simply point the app to the API Proxy URL as your destination. If you are running the app on HCP you may create a destination within HCP cockpit, pointing directly to your API endpoint, and then point the App to that destination.

If you wanted to generate the app in WebIDE for example, to deploy on HCP to consume from API management you could  generate a destination similar to this one:

[oliver_otto1]

Hi Holger,

I am also having problems activating the Api Management Service on my Trial HCP (s0014439378trial). Could you look into this topic?

I have tried activating it multiple times over the last few weeks without success.

Kind regards

[Former Member]

Hi Oliver,

sorry to hear. We will look into this and get back to you.

[russ_wagner3]

I am also getting the "Failed" message while trying to enable the API Management Service. Is there a solution yet?  I don't feel comfortable posting my "s...trial" account number in this forum unless I have to.  Thanks.

[russ_wagner3]

Hi Holger:  Just got your message, but no email to send my account number to.  Do you want me to post it here, or will you send me a email to send it to.

Thanks for the quick response.

Hi Folks,

              I have added my comment some time ago but looks like it is not approved by moderators.I am facing the same issue. Can you please help me out?

Hi Abhishek,

We are looking into this issue. If you have further questions, please email us at sapapimanagementinfo@sap.com.

Additionally, if you can send your Trial ID# so that we can look into your specific issue, that would help.

[tim_drury]

I also see the Failed status when trying to enable API Management. I'm using my i# trial account.

[ElijahM]

Hi Tim,

If you have not yet done so, please try once again to Enable. A lot of work has gone into making the enablement successful, but there are always a few cases where something slips through. If you have tried Enabling your account 3 or more times already, please provide your S,P,I or D Number and we can look into what went wrong.

If you do not feel comfortable providing it on SCN, feel free to send it to sapapimanagementinfo@sap.com via email

[tim_drury]

Thanks, Elijah.  I sent an email.

[Former Member]

I was able to enable API Management, but when i go to the API Management portal i get the error message "There is a temporary problem in provisioning your account, please try again by clicking on Retry." This is going on for some time now.

Anyone had this issue before?

[kubiani]

I have this activated on my trial account and am able to use the endpoint but there are not any usage statistics showing up. Is this a trial limitation or am I supposed to be seeing general stats (i.e. calls, errors, etc) with/without any additional configuration? All the documentation I've seen implies that general stats should be available without any additional setup.

I can ping the service via the provided API management URL so I know the service itself is working and API management is routing it correctly.

[Former Member]

I have the same problem, I am trying to enable the service but it just show the failed message.

All above issues should have been resolved by now. Please feel free to reach out if further incidents come up.
