Cloud API files required for Cloud Retrofit

This topic only applies to PolicyCenter.

Each Cloud Retrofit process uses a different set of configuration files to provide PolicyCenter with information about how to generate LOB-specific endpoints for a given non-APD native product:


Cloud Retrofit Process	Files used by the process
Cloud Retrofit without APD App	<lob_prefix>_codegen_config_ext-1.0.yaml template_gen_config.xml
Cloud Retrofit with APD App	<lob_prefix>_codegen_config_ext-1.0.yaml template_gen_config.xml template_gen_config.all.yaml template_gen_config.<lob_prefix>.yaml

<lob_prefix>_codegen_config_ext-1.0.yaml: Defines aspects of how the REST APIs are generated. For example, you can define overrides for certain behaviors such as auto-numbering and available endpoints for a particular type. These files can be used anytime REST API endpoints are generated, including Cloud Retrofit, APD native, and APD conversion (EA).

template_gen_config.xml: Defines the APD model structure needed to generate LOB-specific endpoints for the Cloud Retrofit without APD App process. For the Cloud Retrofit with APD App process, this file needs to be edited to remove LOB-specific information for LOBs that you create in the APD app. For more information, see Cloud API template gen config XML file.

template_gen_config.all.yaml: Defines aspects of how the REST APIs are generated for Cloud Retrofit with the APD App and APD conversion. This file is available in the base configuration and it applies to all LOBs. If required, you can modify the file to change default values and define configuration details that can't be automatically inferred from the data model when generating the REST APIs.
template_gen_config.<lob_prefix>.yaml: Template gen config YAML files are used for Cloud Retrofit with the APD App and APD conversion. This LOB-specific file allows you to change default values and define configuration details that can't be automatically inferred from the data model when generating the REST APIs. You have the option to create this file from scratch or with a generated file. For more information, see Define a Template Gen Config file for a LOB from scratch and Generate a Cloud API template gen config file for a LOB.
