Overview
IBM® DataPower® Gateway serves as the enterprise-grade, field-proven, security-rich API gateway. The DataPower Gateway is available in physical, virtual, cloud, Linux®, and Docker form factors.
The DataPower Gateway is a single multichannel gateway that helps provide security, control, integration, and optimized access. These capabilities apply to a full range of mobile, web, application programming interface (API), service-oriented architecture (SOA), B2B, and cloud workloads. The capabilities help you to rapidly expand the scope of valuable IT assets to new channels that gives customers, employees, and partners access to critical resources.

.Upgrade requirements
Before you upgrade to 10.5.0 or a fix pack in this LTS stream, review the following requirements.
- 10.5.0.2 - The 10.5.0.2 firmware image for 8436 appliances is supported only for migrating to a newer appliance type. To migrate between appliance types, use the secure backup and restore procedures. After you install the 10.5.0.2 image and log in, the Firmware version IDG.10.5.0.2 is supported only for migration message is displayed. For more information, see Knowledge collection - appliance upgrade.
- 10.5.0.1 - To upgrade 8441 appliances to 10.5.0.1, you must first upgrade the firmware on these appliances to 10.0.1.9.
- 10.5.0.1 - The support to process IBM Sterling Transformation Extender maps with a binary transform action is no longer included as a feature in Integration Module or B2B Module. If your existing configuration contains a processing rule that includes a binary transform action to process Transformation Extender maps, contact IBM Support. The support representative can grant you access to download and activate the new Transformation Extender Module. To validate whether you need this new module, export your complete configuration and search each domain configuration file for the tx-map command.
- 10.5.0.0 - The internal representation of the authorization code changed in the
10.0.4 update package, which applies to the entire 10.0.1.x LTS stream. Due to this change,
authorization codes do not work with earlier DataPower versions.Note: If a gateway-peering instance of the API security token service is configured to persist data across a restart, you must upgrade all members in the peer group to 10.5.x.x.
