IBM API Connect 2018.x delivers enhanced capabilities for the market-leading IBM API management solution. In addition to the ability to deploy in complex, multi-cloud topologies, this version provides enhanced experiences for developers and cloud administrators at organizations.
The API Connect 2018.3.3 update includes important internal development fixes as well as the following APARs:
| APAR | Summary |
| LI80228 | INVALID 'X-IBM-NAME' CREATED WHEN IMPORTING A SWAGGER FILE WITH AN API TITLE CONTAINING AN HYPHEN |
| LI80229 | ADDING A POLICY AFTER ANOTHER POLICY IN CATCH BLOCK FAILS |

Upgrading to 2018.3.3 makes changes to the underlying data structure of API Connect. It is highly recommended to have automatic backups configured in your environment and at least one successful backup complete prior to performing this upgrade.
