Step 2: Create an organization

In this step, you create anApigee organization.

Note:An Apigee organization is the top-level container in Apigee. The Apigee organization contains all your API proxies and related resources. Apigee organizations are not the same as Google Cloud organizations.

About organization creation

When provisioning an organization, note the following:

  • You cannot provision Apigee hybrid in an existing Apigee organization. You must create a new organization and the organization name must match the Google Cloud project ID.
  • An organization is bound to a single Google Cloud project.

To create a new organization and provision it:

Note:If you have an Apigee evaluation account, theorganization you create will expire after 60 days. At that time, the organization willbe deleted.

If this occurs, you may encounter the following error:"Project <my-project> doesn't have an Apigee organization provisioned." To resolve this error, follow the steps to create a new organization and provision it.

  1. On the command line, get yourgcloud authentication credentials using the following command:

    Linux / MacOS

    export TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token)

    To check that your token was populated, useecho, as the following example shows:

    echo $TOKEN

    This should display your token as an encoded string.

    Windows

    for /f "tokens=*" %a in ('gcloud auth print-access-token') do set TOKEN=%a

    To check that your token was populated, useecho, as the following example shows:

    echo %TOKEN%

    This should display your token as an encoded string.

  2. InStep 1, you created thePROJECT_ID environment variable. Add the following environment variables. Select the tab that corresponds to the type of organization you need:No data residency or withData residency:

    No data residency

    Linux / MacOS

    export ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_IDexport ANALYTICS_REGION="ANALYTICS_REGION"export RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID

    Windows

    set ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_IDset ANALYTICS_REGION="ANALYTICS_REGION"set RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID
    Tip: Use theecho %variable-name% command to verify that the environment variables are properly set.

    Where:

    Data residency

    Linux / MacOS

    export ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_IDexport RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRIDexport CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION"export CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION"export BILLING_TYPE="SUBSCRIPTION"

    Windows

    set ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_IDset RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRIDset CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION"set CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION"set BILLING_TYPE="SUBSCRIPTION"
    Tip: Use theecho %variable-name% command to verify that the environment variables are properly set.

    Where:

    For example:

    export ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_IDexport RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRIDexport CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="us-west1"export CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="us"export BILLING_TYPE="SUBSCRIPTION"
  3. Call the following Apigee API to create the organization:

    No data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" \  -d '{    "name":"'"$ORG_NAME"'",    "runtimeType":"'"$RUNTIMETYPE"'",    "analyticsRegion":"'"$ANALYTICS_REGION"'"  }' \  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations?parent=projects/$PROJECT_ID"

    Data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" -X POST -H "content-type:application/json" \  -d '{    "name":"'"$ORG_NAME"'",    "billingType":"'"$BILLING_TYPE"'",    "runtimeType":"'"$RUNTIMETYPE"'",    "apiConsumerDataLocation":"'"$CONSUMER_DATA_REGION"'"  }' \  "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations?parent=projects/$PROJECT_ID"
    Tip:The quotation mark structure ("'") in the previous code sample is needed to pass the values of the environment variables within the JSON body.

    On a successful creation request, the organizations API responds with a message similar to the following:

    {"name":"organizations/org_name/operations/LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID","metadata":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.OperationMetadata","operationType":"INSERT","targetResourceName":"organizations/org_name","state":"IN_PROGRESS"}}

    Where:

    • LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID is the UUID of an asynchronous, long-running operation. You can use this ID to check the status of your organization creation request (described in step 5).
    • org_name is the ID of your new organization that is currently being created.

    As thestate property in the response indicates, Apigee has started to create the new organization, so its state isIN_PROGRESS. This process can take several minutes.

    If you get an error, seeTroubleshooting organization creation.

  4. Save the long-running operation ID to an environment variable. It will be useful for future management tasks.

    Syntax

    export LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID=LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID

    Example

    export LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID=6abc8a72-46de-f9da-bcfe-70d9ab347e4f
  5. You can check the status of the long-running operation whose ID was returned by the creation request. To do this, use the operations API. For example:

    No data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" \  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME/operations/$LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID"

    The following examples show possible responses to this request:

    IN_PROGRESS

    If Apigee is still creating the organization, Apigee responds with a status ofIN_PROGRESS. For example:

    {"name":"organizations/ORG_NAME/operations/LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID","metadata":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.OperationMetadata","operationType":"INSERT","targetResourceName":"organizations/ORG_NAME","state":"IN_PROGRESS"}}

    You should wait a little longer before attempting to verify that the creation process is complete.

    FINISHED

    When the organization has been provisioned, the state of the long-running operation isFINISHED. For example:

    {"name":"organizations/ORG_NAME/operations/LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID","metadata":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.OperationMetadata","operationType":"INSERT","targetResourceName":"organizations/ORG_NAME","state":"FINISHED"},"done":true,"response":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.Organization","name":"ORG_NAME","description":"","createdAt":"1626237148461","lastModifiedAt":"1626237149384","properties":{"property":[{"name":"features.hybrid.enabled","value":"true"},{"name":"features.mart.connect.enabled","value":"true"}]},"analyticsRegion":"ANALYTICS_REGION","runtimeType":"HYBRID","subscriptionType":"TRIAL","state":"ACTIVE","billingType":"EVALUATION","expiresAt":"1631421073171","addonsConfig":{"advancedApiOpsConfig":{},"integrationConfig":{},"monetizationConfig":{}}}}

    Data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" \  "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME/operations/$LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID"

    The following examples show possible responses to this request:

    IN_PROGRESS

    If Apigee is still creating the organization, Apigee responds with a status ofIN_PROGRESS. For example:

    {"name":"organizations/ORG_NAME/operations/LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID","metadata":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.OperationMetadata","operationType":"INSERT","targetResourceName":"organizations/ORG_NAME","state":"IN_PROGRESS","progress":{"percentDone":30}}}

    You should wait a little longer before attempting to verify that the creation process is complete.

    FINISHED

    When the organization has been provisioned, the state of the long-running operation isFINISHED. For example:

    {"name":"organizations/ORG_NAME/operations/LONG_RUNNING_OPERATION_ID","metadata":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.OperationMetadata","operationType":"INSERT","targetResourceName":"organizations/ORG_NAME","state":"FINISHED"},"done":true,"response":{"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.apigee.v1.Organization","name":"ORG_NAME","description":"","createdAt":"1626237148461","lastModifiedAt":"1626237149384","properties":{"property":[{"name":"features.hybrid.enabled","value":"true"},{"name":"features.mart.connect.enabled","value":"true"}]},"analyticsRegion":"ANALYTICS_REGION","runtimeType":"HYBRID","subscriptionType":"TRIAL","state":"ACTIVE","billingType":"SUBSCRIPTION","apiConsumerDataLocation":"CONSUMER_DATA_REGION","expiresAt":"1631421073171","addonsConfig":{"advancedApiOpsConfig":{},"integrationConfig":{},"monetizationConfig":{}}}}
  6. You can use the Apigee organizations API to retrieve information about an organization after it is created.

    For example:

    No data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" \  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME"

    The response to your request contains details about the specified organization in JSON format.

    {  "name": "apigee-example",  "createdAt": "1626237148461",  "lastModifiedAt": "1626237149384",  "properties": {    "property": [      {        "name": "features.hybrid.enabled",        "value": "true"      },      {        "name": "features.mart.connect.enabled",        "value": "true"      }    ]  },  "analyticsRegion": "us-west1",  "runtimeType": "HYBRID",  "subscriptionType": "PAID",  "projectId": "my-project",  "state": "ACTIVE",  "billingType": "SUBSCRIPTION",  "expiresAt": "1631421073171",  "addonsConfig": {    "advancedApiOpsConfig": {},    "integrationConfig": {},    "monetizationConfig": {}  }}

    Data residency

    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" \  "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME"

    The response to your request contains details about the specified organization in JSON format.

    {  "name": "apigee-example",  "createdAt": "1626237148461",  "lastModifiedAt": "1626237149384",  "properties": {    "property": [      {        "name": "features.hybrid.enabled",        "value": "true"      },      {        "name": "features.mart.connect.enabled",        "value": "true"      }    ]  },  "analyticsRegion": "us-west1",  "runtimeType": "HYBRID",  "subscriptionType": "PAID",  "projectId": "my-project",  "state": "ACTIVE",  "billingType": "SUBSCRIPTION",  "expiresAt": "1631421073171",  "addonsConfig": {    "advancedApiOpsConfig": {},    "integrationConfig": {},    "monetizationConfig": {}  }}

Troubleshooting organization creation

When you create an organization with theCreate organizations API, you might get an error response. Responses look like the following:

{  "error": {    "code":HTTP_error_code,    "message": "short_error_message",    "status": "high_level_error_type",    "details": [      {        "@type": "specific_error_type",        "detail": "expanded_error_description"      }    ]  }}

The following table lists errors you might receive and potential resolutions when you try to create a new organization:

HTTP Error CodeHTTP ErrorDescription
400Invalid JSON payload receivedEither the structure of the data in your request contains a syntax error or the path to the endpoint is incorrect.
400Invalid organization IDThe organization ID that you request cannot contain uppercase letters or any special characters other than hyphens. It must contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and/or hyphens. It can be up to a maximum of 32 characters long.
400Unsupported analytics regionYou either did not specify the value of theanalyticsRegion in your request body, or the value you specified is not one of the valid options.
400Does not have an Apigee entitlementYour Google Cloud project has not yet been hybrid enabled. This could indicate an issue with your billing or some other error related to your Google Cloud account. For more information, contactApigee Sales.
400'global' violates constraint in constraints/gcp.resourceLocations on the resourceprojects/PROJECT_ID, Control Plane RegionYou tried to create an org that may not be entitled with PAID subscription. Apigee Hybrid orgs of type EVAL do not support Data Residency.
400runtimeType HYBRID is not supported for PAYG_V2, use CLOUD instead:invalid argumentYou tried to create an organization on a project with a "Pay As You Go" (PAYG) entitlement. Reach out to your Google Cloud account representative for questions about organization entitlement.
401Request had invalid authentication credentialsYourgcloud authentication token is either bad or outdated, or you did not include one in the request. Generate a new token and resend the address.
403Permission denied on resource projectPROJECT_IDYou might have sent a request that contained an incorrect project ID or path.
403Unable to retrieve project informationThe organization has not yet been created or provisioned. You can issue a request to theOperations API to check the status of the long-running operation, as described in step 5.
403Permission denied on resource project organizations/PROJECT_ID/deployedIngressConfigYou tried to create an organization but it does not have the correct entitlements. Reach out to your Google Cloud account representative for questions about organization entitlement.
409Organization already existsYou tried to create more than one organization for the Google Cloud project. You can only create one organization per project.
409OrgPROPOSED_ORG_NAME already existsYou tried to create an organization that has the same ID as one that already exists. Organization IDs must be unique across all hybrid customers. Resubmit with a new proposed organization ID; for example, append a numeric value to the end of the previous ID that you tried.
