Enabling the editing option on assets

By default, you can only edit context-type assets (i.e., SOAP and REST services) in WSO2 G-Reg. However, you can follow the instructions below to enable the editing option on content-type assets (i.e., Swagger, WSDL, WADL, Policy, Schema etc.).

1. Stop the WSO2 G-Reg server if it is already running.
2. Navigate to the corresponding asset.js file of the respective asset as follows:

• For Swagger: <G-Reg_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/swagger/asset.js

• For WSDL: <G-Reg_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/wsdl/asset.js

• For WADL: <G-Reg_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/wadl/asset.js

• For Policy: <G-Reg_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/policy/asset.js

• For Schema: <G-Reg_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/publisher/extensions/assets/schema/asset.js

3. Un-comment the following bit of code in the corresponding asset.js file:

   // Following is to remove the edit button in the detail page since for asset types
   // wsdl, wadl, swagger, policy, schema, the edit operations are not allowed
   for (var index = 0; index < page.leftNav.length; index++) {
       var button = page.leftNav[index];
       // if(button.iconClass === "btn-edit") {
       //     page.leftNav.splice(index, 1);
       //     index--;
       // }
       if (button.iconClass === "btn-copy") {
           page.leftNav.splice(index, 1);
           index--;
       }
   }

4. Restart the server.

5. Log in to the G-Reg Publisher using the following URL and admin/admin credentials:  https://<G-REG_HOST>:<G-REG_PORT>/publisher
