    • Customer deployed DPOD on a virtual server but since then load has increased and it is required to move to physical servers to handle the loadnow requires a physical server.
    • Customer deployed DPOD Appliance mode but wants to migrate to Non-Appliance mode (based on RHEL) to better comply with their organization 's security requirements and standards.
  • New procedure and tools were introduced for customers to migrate introduced to support customers with migration of an existing DPOD Store data to a new DPOD installation for  in each of the scenarios above.

DPOD now has new capabilities when coupled with API Connect v5.0.7.2+ (API-C) and DPOD

  • Display a dedicated transaction list with only API-C transactions

  • Filter by API-C fields (e.g. API name, API version, catalog, HTTP method, API urls and a dozen more fields)

  • Calculate and display latency graphs for each policy execution inside an API (including custom policies)

  • Provide both API-C and DataPower views of the same transaction, and the ability to switch between them

  • A new dashboard of APIs and the date they were last executed in the system.

  • API payloads may now be captured

  • Automatically run setup DPOD log targets for each new API-C domain created. (This requires enablement in the monitored device configuration). Further configuration based on domain name prefix is available.

(red star) To activate API-C integration, perform (from the Web Console) a re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain. You can also use the auto-setup feature to handle API-C domains created in the future.
