When you click a transaction’s ID in the transactions list, DPOD loads the full details of the transaction into the information window.

...

The panel at the top of the window displays various details about the transaction, such as time, status, device, domain, API Name, catalog, etc.

Transaction Analysis Panel

Error analysis

Analysis will appear for transactions in Error status only,
T
ransactions that are erroneous as a result of the output policy are not reported here.

If the error is common, DPOD will provide a description of the error here. This is especially useful in situations where the raw logs are hidden on account of security policies, and cannot be viewed by the user.

...

Previous/Next buttons

If you navigate to this page from a transactions list that contains more than one transaction, previous/next buttons will appear to quickly move to the next or previous transaction on that list.

The size of next/previous transactions results can be defined in the System Parameters list.

Transaction Analysis Panel

Error analysis

Displays a summary of all errors found by DPOD for this transaction.

Elapsed Time 

A breakdown of the transaction’s elapsed time between network, gateway processing and Back-End processing.
This analysis lets you view latency data pertaining to the transaction, and potentially identify network congestion or issues.

...

Green nodes represent user policies and their latency, hover over the latency node to view the policy typemore details.
Blue nodes represent the API Framework latency.
Pre/Post processing polices (DataPower API Gateway only) will appear with a Blue border.
Click on a user policy or on a pre/post policy to open the Policy Details Window.

...

The top part of the window shows the policy graph, you can focus on any user policy by clicking it, click on "Switch to Response/Request" to change the displayed direction.
The middle part shows general details about the policy, such as the policy name, type and direction and the execution time in ms.
The lower part shows a list of side calls made by this policy. and a list of context variables and their values (if a policy variables capture was active during the execution of this transaction)
If a policy variables capture was active, but no data is showing in the "Context variables" table - wait a few seconds and refresh the page, it may take up to 2 minutes for the data to appear.

Keyboard shortcuts - 
Left or Right arrows - Previous / Next policy
Space - Wrap the policy variables values text.
Escape - Close the window.

Raw Messages Tab

The raw messages tab is identical to the raw messages tab in the DataPower transaction page

Extended Latency Tab

The extended latency tab is identical to the extended latency tab in the DataPower transaction pageThis widget lists the raw messages that make up the single transaction viewed (up to 2000 messages). 

Tracking the raw messages making up transactions in error may provide insights into the causes of failures.

Tracking the raw messages making up successful transactions may provide insights into slow components or unnecessary steps.

The information is displayed in a table.

Correlated Transactions Tab

The Correlated Transactions Tab (Appears only if the user has appropriate permissions), shows all the transactions with the same Global Transaction ID, both Gateway transactions and API-C transactions are shown.
The transactions are sorted by their start time, where the first transaction that run appears on top..
