Error description

  • Having configured a NFS Static Mount with a "." (dot) in the
    object name (e.g. "my.mount") used for DataPower B2B Gateway
    Document Storage Location, the user observed super slow /
    timing out / failing purge of the documents / transactions.
    While the transactions in the meta data storage got cleaned
    after few minutes, the payload files got left behind on the NFS
    mount.
    

Local fix

  • If configuring B2B Gateway Document Storage Location to use a
    NFS Static Mount, make sure that mount object's name does not
    contain a "." (dot).
    

Problem summary

  • DataPower B2B user who enables archive or purge messages in the
    B2B Gateway might see slowness of archive/purge operation if
    Document Storage Location is an NFS mount. The symptom is
    observed if dot (.) is used in the name of the NFS mount.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
