we can create marketplace which "By grouping services and subscriptions by category" is enabled with oscm-portal. but we can't create marketplace which "By grouping services and subscriptions by category" is enabled with Platform API.

could you make it possible to do it?

@toshihiro-shiino, what is the business motivation behind this request, what is the expected benefit?

toshihiro-shiino commented 7 years ago

@mdehn, We are offering marketplace called Management Portal in our service. We have tried to automate the setup of this Management Portal by calling Platform API based on strong requests from customers to shorten the delivery time after receiving the request for setup. However, there are some items that can be configured only via Portal and not via Platform API, so we are still not be able to implement the automated setup to the fullest extent. This request is issued for the purpose of realizing complete automation of the setup and with business motivation of reduced delivery time and manpower.

In addition, other than the intention to resolve this issue, we believe the abilities offered by Web interface and by API should be identical.

This is a valid request, but currently there are no plans to extend the API with setup functionality. If this functionality is urgent for you, you may consider a contribution to OSCM.

@mdehn, This functionality is not urgent for us. I appreciate it if you remember this issue when planning to extend the API.
