Update Metadata

In services section of the APP-META.xml file, add a service section with the new service declaration:

<service id="resellers">
   <code engine="php" path="scripts/resellers.php"/>
   <presentation>
      <name>Reseller profile</name>
      <summary>Product customization for resellers</summary>
   </presentation>
</service>

In accordance with this declaration, the scripts/resellers.php script must define the new APS type and service. You will create that file later in this project.

Update Wizard Data

1. In the scripts/wizard_data.json file, insert the following resellerProfile section between the apsResources and resourceTypes sections:

   "resellerProfile": {
      "id": "idcced499b78e4d8",
      "apsType": "http://aps-standard.org/samples/reseller-config/reseller/1.0",
      "type": "http://aps-standard.org/types/core/profile/reseller/1.0",
      "relations": {
         "cloud": "idglobals"
      }
   },
   

   This will make the APS controller create an APS resource based on the specified reseller profile APS type.

2. In the resourceTypes section, add a resource type for the created reseller profile:

   {
      "name": "Offer Management and Reseller Configuration - Value added reseller",
      "id": -500006,
      "resClass": "rc.saas.service.link",
      "required": false,
      "rtfor": "http://aps-standard.org/types/core/profile/reseller/1.0",
      "actParams": {
          "resource_uid": "idcced499b78e4d8"
      }
   }
   

3. In the serviceTemplate section, add the new resource type:

   {
       "limit": 1,
       "unlimited": false,
       "rtID": -500006
   }
   

Define APS Type and Service

The application must define a new APS type and a respective service to be used for creating reseller profiles. For this aim, add a PHP file, for example, scripts/resellers.php that declares the APS type and defines the service with its properties and methods. The following are key points in the file:

• The new APS type must implement the standard ResellerProfile APS type.
• In accordance with the resource model, the APS type must have relationship with the application APS type on the provider side and subscription service (also known as management context) APS type on the customer side.
• The APS type must contain declaration of some “white label” properties that resellers can customize in the service templates delegated by the provider.

The content of the file must look as follows:

<?php

require "aps/2/runtime.php";

/**
 * Settings, customizable by resellers, for example
 * @type("http://aps-standard.org/samples/reseller-config/reseller-profile/1.0")
 * @implements("http://aps-standard.org/types/core/profile/reseller/1.0")
 */
class ResellerCloud extends APS\ResourceBase {

   /**
    * @link("http://aps-standard.org/samples/reseller-config/cloud/1.0")
    * @required
    */
   public $cloud;

   /**
    * @link("http://aps-standard.org/samples/reseller-config/context/1.0[]")
    */
   public $contexts;

   ## White label customizable per reseller
   /**
     * @type(string)
     * @title(Parameter 1)
     * @description("White label #1")
     */
    public $param1;

   ## White label customizable per reseller
    /**
     * @type(string)
     * @title(Parameter 2)
     * @description("White label #2")
     */
    public param2;

}

?>
