    Scope of Export
    IBM Application Gateway provides a subset of the capabilities included in the Verify Access Reverse Proxy. Note that exported junctions are limited to the capabilities provided by IBM Application Gateway. Capabilities which cannot be exported are reported on the Validation tab and within the file "export_trace.log" in the generated zip file.

    Additional manual steps are required after exporting before the configuration can be used with IBM Application Gateway. For more information, see the IBM Application Gateway documentation.
