BARC and SIS integrationsDiana Antova/ christian.montecino (Unlicensed)
  • Deprecating the mainframe is a top priority for campus, targeting summer 2020
  • SIST sending student data to mainframe for BARC 
  • Will be replaced with API calls and identity calls

Workflow - API Access RequestDiana Antova
  • Started Processing an API Access Request documentation targeting API Gateway Admins as the audience
  • (question): The API Access Request form asks for the Application Name, which is generally filled out as a normal human readable name. However this name is usually different than the actual 'application name' that is registered in the API Gateway (for example. Request "CS48 Project" is for Application "cs48test"). Do we want to setup a multiline input box that will ask for the exact name of all applications that are associated with the request? Sometimes requests will need to be split up into multiple apps (for cams).
    • We will add a field in the Admins Only section in the API Access Request form for the Gateway App Name. We will continue to ask developers to submit a new API Access request from for each gateway app to make reporting easier.
  • (question): A number of Student Affairs APIs (API Products) have an "Originating System" of 'SIS'. Do we want to change that name to 'Registrar'? Currently, the API Requests are by the data owner. And, potentially other data owners that are a part of the SIS (Admissions, FinAid) may also add APIs to the Gateway. Do we want to change the name current usage of SIS to be 'Register' (or whatever is the owning department) within our API Product definitions?
    • Steven Maglio and Diana Antova to discuss the naming conventions for SIS applications. Will use SREG for registrar SIS applications. Wil use UADM for Admissions SIS applications.

Reports and alertsDiana Antova 


  • Steven Maglio Error alerts in the Gateway (APIGEE-191) Will not do this one as the logging happens in the APIs themselves.
  • christian.montecino (Unlicensed) Google analytics api usage reports - there is an issue with recording API usage. it does not match the gateway data. (APIGEE-189) Christian will start logging into a text file the API execution to compare with google analytics. 
  • Should we discuss opening our Google Analytics reports to a larger audience?
    • Maybe joining the UCSB organization
