IT29143: CALLS TO AN API OPERATION MIGHT ROUTE TO THE WRONG API WHEN THE OPERATION AND URL PATH ARE NOT UNIQUE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If an API has the same basepath and path values as one or more
  other APIs, and the paths have the same operation defined, then
  applications that are subscribed to any of those APIs will be
  routed to check for a subscription against the most recently
  published API.
  
  When an application has a subscription for an older API,
  requests can result in response errors like:
  
  {"httpCode":"401","httpMessage":"Unauthorized","moreInformation"
  :"Cannot find valid subscription for the incoming API request."}
  

Local fix

• To avoid this problem, ensure that the basepath/path/operation
  combinations are unique across the APIs that are published to a
  DataPower API Gateway.
  

Problem summary

• If an API has the same basepath and path values as one or more
  other APIs, and the paths have the same operation defined, then
  applications that are subscribed to any of those APIs will be
  routed to check for a subscription against the most recently
  published API.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 2018.4.1.6
