C1000-138 practice question 13 of 15

Which API Event Record field indicates N/A when a client ID is not used or is invalid on the API?

Full set: 60 questions
Answer options
A: api_id
B: log_policy
C: product_name Correct answer
D: org_id
Correct Answer:
C. product_name
Explanation

The productname field in the API Event Record will be "N/A" if the client ID is not used or is invalid. The client ID is essential for API Connect to identify the application, its subscription, and consequently the Plan and Product being consumed. Without a valid client ID, this mapping fails, and the system cannot determine which product the API call corresponds to. The other fields listed are typically available even with an invalid client ID, as they are identified earlier in the request processing pipeline.

Why Incorrect

A. The apiid is known because the gateway identifies which API proxy was invoked based on the request path, regardless of the client ID's validity.
B. The logpolicy field relates to the logging settings for the API call and is not dependent on successful client identification.
D. The orgid refers to the Provider Organization that owns the API. This is known from the API's context and is independent of the consumer's client ID.

References

- IBM API Connect v10.0.x Knowledge Center, "API event record fields". This document lists all fields in the event record. The description for productname and clientid implicitly supports this answer, as the product is identified via the application subscription linked to the client ID.
