Error description

  • The root cause for this issue occurring is that that the fix for
IT32914 was reverted in 10.0.1.1 and 2018.4.1.14.  We will fix
it again in 10.0.1.7 and 2018.4.1.20.

  • When processing Analytics records, performing more format
checking for the "X-Forward-For" data. Sometimes Datapower

and 10.0.1.1
