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

In IBM API Connect, an API call is associated with a specific Product through the application's subscription, which is identified by the clientid. When an API call is made without a clientid or with an invalid one, the system cannot determine which Product the application is subscribed to. Consequently, the productname field in the API event record, which is used for analytics and monitoring, cannot be populated with the correct Product name and is therefore set to "N/A" to indicate this unresolved association.

1. IBM API Connect v10.0.x Documentation: In the section detailing the fields of the API event record

the description for productname explicitly states: "The name of the Product that contains the API. If the client ID is not used or is invalid

the value is N/A."

Section: productname. (IBM API Connect v10.0.x Knowledge Center).

2. IBM API Connect v2018.x Documentation: Similar documentation for earlier versions confirms this behavior

establishing it as a consistent design principle in API Connect analytics. The productname field is consistently documented as being "N/A" when the client ID cannot be validated.
