DPOD v1.0.5.0 and above offers several operational maintenance features that assist in scheduling and completing performing day to day tasks such as backups, configuration sync syncs and firmware upgradeupgrades.
This feature has system These features have system wide influence and might affect the availability of Gateway of monitored devices and serviceservices. Please consult the following limitations to this tasks:
Operating System supported locale
The only supported operating system locale definition for DPOD is en_US.UTF-8 as described in the installation prerequisites.
Object names in non-English languages may be partially supported.

Lately in Firmware 7.6 the tenant module was introduced only to physical appliance type 8436. Currently DPOD is not supporting this feature.
Known workarounds:
None. Resolution of this issue is part of the short term product Roadmap.
WS-M does not capture Multi Protocol Gateway services payloads for firmware pre 7.5.2
...
DPOD version 1.0.2 and IDG Firmware 7.5.2.1 (especially with iFix IT17479: JSON PAYLOAD NOT CAPTURED BY WSM AGENT) should provide this functionality out of the box!.
Transactions under the
...
default domain are not monitored
This limitation is derived from a limitation of the monitored device.
Log targets defined at the Default default domain collect all logs from all domains, and currently there is no way to apply a filter to the log targets in order to filter out logs from other application domains.
...
There is a workaround, but it only applies if the customer is willing to duplicate all network traffic, or alternatively run transactions only on the Default default domain. Please contact support for more details.

Limitation on the number of domains that DPOD can monitor on a single IDG
When you define no custom log targets on the IDG, the IDG enable DPOD monitoring, one new log target is created in the default domain and two new log targets in each application domain.
IDG supports a maximum of 125 domains that DPOD can monitor when the IDG defines no custom log targets.
Before firmware 500 log targets prior to firmware level 7.5.2.4, the IDG supported 500 and a maximum of 1000 log targets . Because the default domain requires 3 log targets and each application domain requires 2 log targets, The IDG without custom log targets supports a maximum of 248 domains.After firmware on firmware level 7.5.2.4 and above.
Since IDG already contains two built in log targets in each application domain, DPOD can monitor up to 124 application domains prior to firmware level 7.5.2.4 and up to 248 application domains on firmware level 7.5.2.4 this number were doubled.When you enable DPOD monitoring, one new log target is added to the default domain and 2 new log targets to each application domainand above.
Before you can enable DPOD monitoring:
- View the list of defined domaindomains, to ensure that no more than 125 domains are already definedand ensure it does not exceede the number domains described above.
- Run the show log-targets command in Diagnostics mode to determine the number of log targets that are defined.
Known workarounds:Unless the following calculation results in a positive integer, do not enable DPOD monitoring until you
Montior only part of the domains, or move domains to another IDG device.
B2B support is limited
At present, the only most important B2B features (e.g transaction aggregation) are supported. Configuration sampling and specific filtering in dashboards are part of the current version.
Known workarounds:
Upgrade to v1.0.3 - Configuration sampling is implemented.
Callable rule invocation appears as a separate transaction
At present, monitored devices do not report the front end response payload size nor do they report on the back-end request and response.
Known workarounds:
Upgrade to v1.0.4.0 - a fix was provided.None
Error is not displayed in "Deprecated Extended
transactionsTransaction"
The extended transaction The Deprecated Extended Transaction is the only feature of DPOD that involves instrumentation of an XSLT transformation to the Web Service Proxy policy (request / response and error rules).
The instrumentation is integrated by the system only when initiated by the system administrator and not by default.
The behaviour when an error is raised by the service (WS-Proxy) depends on the applicable scenario:
No error rule in the service where the error is raised. Previous services are configured with "Process HTTP errors = on"
As there is no error rule, an extended transaction an Deprecated Extended Transaction log record will not be generated for the error, and it will not be displayed on the "Deprecated Extended TransactionsTransaction" screen.
The extended transaction The Deprecated Extended Transaction display will resemble the following (note: one record is missing)
No error rule in the service where the error is raised. Previous services do have error rule configured
As there is no error rule, an extended transaction an Deprecated Extended Transaction log record will not be generated for the error, and it will not be displayed on the "Deprecated Extended TransactionsTransaction" screen.
However, as previous services do have an error rule, the "Deprecated Extended TransactionsTransaction" display will resemble the following:
Known workarounds:
None.
The "Deprecated Extended Transaction
facility" does not support API-Connect
Note: In some cases, the Extended Transaction is not deployed on MPG services. This is due to the diversity of configuration in these services.
Customers are encouraged to open a PMR and provide the service configuration - so these cases can be addressed and resolved.
