    Hiya,

    Please provide the exact APIC and datapower versions being used. "v10" isnt really descriptive enough.

    What user agents are being deleted?

    Can you provide some more information please ?

    Hi Chris, Apologies for late reply..
    We are using the APIC v10.0.1.5 and the proxy policies are deleting frequently.

    The proxy are configured in APIC domain.
    Also we are using API Gateway v5c.

    Please let me know if you need any more details.

    Hello Nrusingha,

    to add a permanent Connection Policy (comparable to User Agents) at an API Gateway on a Datapower you have to create a Config File (.cfg) which you should include into a gateway extension as described here: Extending the Gateway server behavior - IBM Documentation

    The Config File should inculde some commands which are run each time the API Gateway configuration is refreshed by API Connect. To configure your Connection Policy the config file should contain something like the following:

    top; configure terminal

apigw "<Your API Gateway name>"
    no proxy
    proxy <API Endpoint> <Proxy-Host> <Proxy-Port>
    ...
exit

    and your manifest.json File should include the following lines:

    {
    "extension": {
        "properties": {
            ....
        },
        "files": [
            {
                "filename": "<Your name of the zipped .cfg-File>.zip",
                "deploy": "immediate",
                "type": "extension"
            },
            ...
        ]
    }
}

    Hi,

    I am extending the question with Nrusingha Sahoo,

    Whenever we modify with new URL's and Proxy IP in User agent multiple times, same details need to update in extension also, so we need to modify everytime, this is not good practice right?.

    Hello Kandula,

    you're right that you have to republish the gateway extension each time you want to add some URL's and Proxy IP's. This can't be done within the API Connect Manager Web UI. Here you just can add a gateway extension initially.

    After adding an extension to a Gateway you have to use the APIC Toolkit to update the extension.

    Therefore you have to use the following APIC Toolkit (CLI) command:

    apic gateway-extensions:update <YOUR-GATEWAY-EXTENSION.zip> --scope org --org admin --gateway-service <YOUR-API-GATEWAY> --availability-zone <YOUR-AVAILABILITY-ZONE> --server <YOUR-APIC-SERVER> --output -

    You can also read something about configuring the gateway extension in the IBM documentation.
