Usage Notes
This section provides any additional information that you need to work with End-to-End Monitoring.
Additional headers are noticed when running a REST application.
When a REST application FlowService is run with changed header attributes, sw6 headers are observed in the pipeline output result. sw6 is a valid request header used by End-to-End Monitoring for monitoring Software AG product runtimes. This has no impact on feature functionalities.
End-to-End Monitoring is supported on the latest version of Google Chrome web browser (v105 or later).
After End-to-End Monitoring is upgraded, the older version browser’s cache and cookies are not cleared automatically. This may lead to incorrect display of page content. Ensure that you clear the browser’s cache manually after every upgrade, and then access End-to-End Monitoring.

Known Issues
This section lists the issues for this release that were known when this release readme was published.
UHM-970
In End-to-End Monitoring, API Gateway traces without a transactional event are not getting traced.
UHM-973
In End-to-End Monitoring, for a complex integration, where one SOAP API or REST API calls another SOAP API, only the starting point of the trace is captured. For the same complex integration, both the traces appear as part of its monitoring feature. The same limitation is not observed when REST APIs are called from a SOAP API or another REST API.
