Partner Management

Partner managers (also referred to as managers) utilize self-service registration of users, create applications, explore APIs, and request subscriptions or request additional keys for applications.

The Developer Portal is available if Adapter Code for TIBCO API Exchange and Joomla! 2.1.1 is installed in your environment. The portal administrator can use the portal to perform the management tasks. Refer to the Adapter Code for TIBCO API Exchange and Joomla! 2.1.1 documentation for detailed instructions.

Managing Organizations

Portal administrators can create organizations and add users to the organizations. In order to use an application, users must belong to an organization associated with the application.

While creating an organization, the portal administrator specifies information such as name of the organization, contact person for the organization, email address and telephone number of the contact person, APIs, products, and applications that are owned by the organization. The portal administrators can also add members and subscriptions to the organization.

Managing Users

Portal administrators can add new or existing users to user groups and grant them access to specified environments. They can also create an organization administrator for an organization.

If you are using the Adapter Code for TIBCO API Exchange and Joomla! 2.1.1, TIBCO recommends that you do NOT change the pre-configured user groups and access levels in the Joomla! Administrator back-end.

Managing Applications

Managing applications consists of creating applications and requesting keys for applications. Partner managers and application developers create applications, assign products to the applications, and associate subscriptions with the applications.

The manager or a developer can also request for a replacement key for an application. This may be necessary if the existing key has been compromised. When you obtain a replacement key for an application, the original key is disabled and the replacement key is enabled.

Managing Subscriptions

The portal administrator or manager can place a request for a subscription to an existing plan or request a custom plan. Upon approval, a subscription for the organization that the requestor belongs to is created with the specified validity period. See Managing Subscriptions for details.

Managing Throttle Quotas

When registering products or applications, the portal administrator can specify throttle quotas. A throttle quota is a percent value that sets a quota for usage of the product or application. If you implement throttle quotas, then the dashboard for an application and the Dashboard tab in the Developer Portal shows a bar graph that indicates the throttle quota usage for the product, application, or subscription. In addition, the system generates alerts when a throttle quota has been exceeded and the alerts are displayed on Dashboard pages.
