portals, specs and environments

[andresquijano]

Hi,

We want to have portal where customers can try out the APIs. For that, we upload the specs, create the API proxies, API products and finally the integrated portal.

For this to work, the specs need to have the appropriate host parameter set to where the portal will be located, for example: myorg-test.apigee.net

This works fine, and the portal is usable. Now we want to have the same portal but for production environment. As far as I know, we would need to have another set of specs (each with the new host parameter pointing to the test portal host) and then re-create the entire Portal (including images, css, pages, etc) for a prod environment.

Is this the case? Is there an alternative where the host parameter of the spec can be a variable that points to the host where the portal is located? Which would be the best practice in this scenario to avoid having to manually copy and paste all the specs and portal settings?

Thanks

There's no way to handle portal environments, I take?
