IBM datapower to apigee hybrid

[aramkrishna6]

For migration from IBM DataPower to Apigee Hybrid Proxies, with a specific focus on transitioning to OAuth. This migration can involve a significant level of complexity due to the unique features of IBM DataPower. It will require us to navigate and analyze the existing IBM DataPower configurations before implementing the Apigee Hybrid Proxies.

We are particularly interested in detailed tasks that need to be performed in DataPower to analyze the existing DataPower proxies. The backend systems will remain unchanged; the migration is solely from IBM DataPower to Apigee Hybrid Proxies.

While we are familiar with Apigee Hybrid, we are seeking best practices, real-time examples, blogs, videos, or any other resources that can provide guidance on this migration process , especially from the IBM DataPower side. Any insights or recommendations from those who have undertaken similar migrations would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @AlexET 

Please allow me to join in this conversation.

I have similar requirement, where we are migrating APIs from DataPower to Apigee. We would appreciate it if you could share any best practices, real-world examples, or resources—such as blogs, videos, or documentation—that could assist us in this process. Insights from similar migrations would be particularly helpful.

Thank you,

Hemanth

Hello @aramkrishna6 / @hemanth_ch 

As you commented the backend keep under changes, here the challenge is migrate "middleware" layer in some cases on IBM DataPower you can download the OpenAPI Spec, you can start creating the API Proxy based on this OpenAPI Spec.

In this cases the best practices is involve a Google Cloud Professional Services / Google Cloud Partner Certified to support you on this, in my experience this is the best way.

Challenge is 100 % of IBM Datapower services is SOAP (req) to SOAP(res) or XML to XML or Non XML to Non XML . only few JSON type 

Do we have any utility which can guide on same ?

[AldoMeneses86]

Hello @aramkrishna6  if Apigee has SOAP as a backend,  I suggest trying the wsdl2apigee tool available on Apigee's Github at https://github.com/apigee/wsdl2apigee

Remember, Apigee offers XMLtoJSON, JSONtoXML, AssingMessage policies in order to cover your use cases.
