Step 2: Create an organization

In this step, you create an Apigee organization.

About organization creation

To create a new organization and provision it:

On the command line, get your gcloud authentication credentials using the following command:
Linux / MacOS
```
export TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token)
```
To check that your token was populated, use echo, 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, use echo, as the following example shows:
```
echo %TOKEN%
```
This should display your token as an encoded string.
In Step 1, you created the PROJECT_ID environment variable. Add the following environment variables. Select the tab that corresponds to the type of organization you need: No data residency or with Data residency:
No data residency
Linux / MacOS

export ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_ID export ANALYTICS_REGION="ANALYTICS_REGION" export RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID
Windows

set ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_ID set ANALYTICS_REGION="ANALYTICS_REGION" set RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID

Tip: Use the echo %variable-name% command to verify that the environment variables are properly set.
Where:
- ORG_NAME (Required): This value must match the PROJECT_ID.
- ANALYTICS_REGION (Required): The primary region for analytics data storage. For a list of available Apigee API Analytics regions, see Apigee locations.
- RUNTIMETYPE (Required): Must be set to HYBRID.
Data residency
Linux / MacOS

export ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_ID export ANALYTICS_REGION="ANALYTICS_REGION" export RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID export CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION" export CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION" export BILLING_TYPE="SUBSCRIPTION"
Windows

set ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_ID set ANALYTICS_REGION="ANALYTICS_REGION" set RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID set CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="YOUR_CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION" set CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="YOUR_CONSUMER_DATA_REGION" set BILLING_TYPE="SUBSCRIPTION"

Tip: Use the echo %variable-name% command to verify that the environment variables are properly set.
Where:
- ORG_NAME: This value must match the PROJECT_ID.
- ANALYTICS_REGION: The primary region for analytics data storage. For a list of available Apigee API Analytics regions, see Apigee locations.
- RUNTIMETYPE: Must be set to HYBRID.
- CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION: The location where customer core content like proxy bundles is stored. For a list see Available Apigee API control plane regions.
- CONSUMER_DATA_REGION: A sub-region of the control plane region. You must specify both the CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION and the CONSUMER_DATA_REGION. For a list of available consumer data regions, see Apigee locations.
- BILLING_TYPE: Must be set to "SUBSCRIPTION". This is the billing type for your Apigee hybrid organization. See Subscription entitlements for more information.
For example:
```
export ORG_NAME=$PROJECT_ID
export ANALYTICS_REGION="us-west1"
export RUNTIMETYPE=HYBRID
export CONSUMER_DATA_REGION="us-west1"
export CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION="us"
export BILLING_TYPE="SUBSCRIPTION"
```

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":"'"$CONSUMER_DATA_REGION"'",
    "analyticsRegion":"'"$ANALYTICS_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 the state property in the response indicates, Apigee has started to create the new organization, so its state is IN_PROGRESS. This process can take several minutes.

If you get an error, see Troubleshooting organization creation.

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

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 of IN_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 is FINISHED. 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 of IN_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 is FINISHED. 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": {}
    }
  }
}

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": "apigee-example",
  "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": "apigee-example",
  "state": "ACTIVE",
  "billingType": "SUBSCRIPTION",
  "expiresAt": "1631421073171",
  "addonsConfig": {
    "advancedApiOpsConfig": {},
    "integrationConfig": {},
    "monetizationConfig": {}
  }
}

Troubleshooting organization creation

When you create an organization with the Create 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 Code	HTTP Error	Description
`400`	`Invalid JSON payload received`	Either the structure of the data in your request contains a syntax error or the path to the endpoint is incorrect.
`400`	`Invalid organization ID`	The 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.
`400`	`Unsupported analytics region`	You either did not specify the value of the `analyticsRegion` in your request body, or the value you specified is not one of the valid options.
`400`	`Does not have an Apigee entitlement`	Your Google Cloud project (that you created in Step 2: Create a 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, contact Apigee Sales.
`401`	`Request had invalid authentication credentials`	Your `gcloud` authentication token is either bad or outdated, or you did not include one in the request. Generate a new token and resend the address.
`403`	`Permission denied on resource project PROJECT_ID`	You might have sent a request that contained an incorrect project ID or path.
`403`	`Unable to retrieve project information`	The organization has not yet been created or provisioned. You can issue a request to the Operations API to check the status of the long-running operation, as described in step 5.
`403`	`Permission denied on resource project organizations/PROJECT_ID/deployedIngressConfig`	You 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.
`409`	`Organization already exists`	You tried to create more than one organization for the Google Cloud project. You can only create one organization per project.
`409`	`Org proposed_org_name already exists`	You 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.
