Report Usage

gateway91flow
Reporting of product usage is a Portfolio Licensing Agreement (PLA) requirement that helps CA gain insights into product usage, your software needs, and which features and platforms you use regularly.
If you have signed a PLA with CA Technologies, a Broadcom company, you must report product usage data. For versions earlier than CA API Gateway 9.4, reporting and collecting data is a manual task. In CA API Gateway 9.4 and later, the telemetry feature that collects data is integrated and allows you to choose between manual or automatic reporting.
Do not provide any personally identifiable information (PII) or sensitive information.
