Dear team,
I want to use assembly rate limiting without a client ID. I have already created the assembly rate limit objects on DataPower. I have three different rate limit objects, for example: Client1, Client2, Client3. Each of these objects has different rate limits. These values (Client1, Client2, Client3) in the payload. How can I pass this value to as limit name in rate limit policy?

I have tried this but getting and error "Rate limit $(serviceId) is in rate limit assembly action
cbuae_sandbox_singleurlservice_1.0.1_ratelimit_0 but not in API gateway Stg-Int01". 

why is not assigning the variable value?
kindly guide me how to do this.
Thankyou

The rate limit name in the above field cannot be a variable; it must be a literal string that corresponds to a rate limit defined on the gateway.

Hi,

This blog might be helpful wrt setting up the rate-limit as an assembly-rate-limit in the Product-Plan.
Also shows how you can use dynamic values for the rate limiting.

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/blogs/amit-kumar-singh/2025/04/30/ibm-apic-connect-applying-rate-limit-based-on-dyna

This DataPower functionality is explained here (although the parameters APIC side and the DataPower side aren't a perfect match cache-only vs cache-first for example).

Sorry, I don't understand your use-case.

Why are you passing the rate-limit name as a variable?
The rate-limit name must be a constant which is referenced in the Product-Plan - this is how the rate-limit definition is set for that API in the published Product.
You can set multiple Plans with different rate-limits referencing the rate-limit name in the API and subscribe different Apps to each different Plan.

If you want the rate-limit to be dependent to a specific dynamic variable then that must be then added to the Product-Plan syntax as per the blog.

What are you trying to do?

Hi Nick Cawood
need to configure the Assembly rate limit without relying on clientId. The rate-limit name should be generated dynamically from the payload's client1 value (e.g., CCMSRQ001).

Sorry, I don't understand your use-case.

Why are you passing the rate-limit name as a variable?
The rate-limit name must be a constant which is referenced in the Product-Plan - this is how the rate-limit definition is set for that API in the published Product.
