When a RAML definition is updated and a new version is published to Anypoint Exchange, the client applications that consume the API need to be updated to utilize the new operations. Here's how the Mule application team can achieve this:
* Access Anypoint Exchange:
* Go to Anypoint Exchange and find the updated RAML definition of the API.
* Update the REST Connector:
* In the Mule application, locate the existing REST connector that was generated from the previous version of the API.
* Update this connector to the latest version by reimporting the RAML definition.
* This can be done via the Anypoint Studio by navigating to the Mule Palette, finding the REST connector, and updating it with the new RAML.
* Regenerate Client Code (If Necessary):
* Sometimes, updating the connector may require regenerating the client code to include new operations.
* Ensure that all new methods and endpoints are available in your Mule application after the update.
* Test New Operations:
* Incorporate and test the new operations in the Mule application to ensure they function correctly with the updated API implementation.
