Your diagram looks exactly right. I don't know why you are getting a 404
error when trying to register the client. My best guess is that your
Gateway 2 configuration is actually incorrect and that the "Test Gateway"
function is returning a false positive somehow. Can you post the
configuration settings you are using for *BOTH* of your Gateways? (I
assume you can successfully publish an API to Gateway 1).
You should be able to manually confirm your Gateway settings using e.g.
curl or postman. There is an endpoint on the Gateway API that you can hit:
GATEWAY_API_URL/system/status
You'll need to provide auth info for this to work, but it will return a
JSON response like this:
{
"id": "xyz",
"name": "Apiman Gateway API",
"description": "... something here ...",
"version": "x.y.z",
"up": true
}
The UI should be checking that endpoint when you click the "Test Gateway"
button, but perhaps there's a bug in that.
If the above endpoint can be hit and verified, then I'm at a complete loss
as to why you'd be getting a 404 when trying to publish! The implication
is that the Gateway API endpoint that the UI is attempting to use is
missing. But if /system/status can be found, then everything else should
be available too!
@Marc Savy <msavy(a)redhat.com> - any thoughts on this?

Dear Eric
Thanks for your explanation.
I tried to deploy another gateway with a new storage(Elasticsearch) and
configure API to publish on the new one. (API manager version 1.5.1)
However when I tried to create a contract between API and client apps then
re-register client apps, error happened.
It seems API manager fails to connect to gateway2. (But UI-> Manage
Gateways -> Edit Gateway -> Test Gateway returns *Gateway Configuration
Valid*)
(io.apiman.manager.api.rest.contract.exceptions.ActionException: Failed
to register client.)
I put detail log in attachment if you are interested.
Thanks
simple diagram for my deployment test.
