You have created a product based on an API proxy, but you have not published...

In SAP API Management, a "product" bundles API proxies for exposure to consumers. Let’s examine the consequence of not publishing:

Step 1: Product Lifecycle- In the API Portal, you create a product, add API proxies, and then publish it to make it visible in the API Business Hub Enterprise (SAP’s developer portal).

Step 2: Publishing Impact- Until published, the product remains in a draft state and isn’t available to external users or visible in the hub.

Step 3: Evaluate Options-

A. Not displayed in API Business Hub Enterprise: Correct, as unpublished products are not exposed to developers.

B. Displayed in API Business Hub Enterprise: Incorrect; publishing is required for visibility.

C. API proxy not accessible: The proxy itself may still be callable if deployed, independent of the product’s publication status.

D. Product cannot be edited: Draft products can still be modified before publishing.

Step 4: Official Verification- The SAP Help Portal’s "Managing API Products" states that "only published products are visible in the API Business Hub Enterprise," confirming that unpublished products remain hidden.

Conclusion: Option A is 100% verified per SAP documentation.References:
