Hello Everyone!

I was training one of our clients in 3.6.1 XI50 and came across a behaviour which was different from 3.6.0 and would like to confirm if this is an intended behaviour.

In the 3.6.0.x firmware, when "auto" is selected as the context between Actions, policy editor automatically creates temporary context variables.
But in 3.6.1 , I see that it defaults to PIPE and changing it back to "auto" doesnt work.
It always switches it back to PIPE when I try to override.
I understand the performance advantages or using a PIPE, but what if I dont want to use PIPE and would like temporary variables created in between. Is this a bug?

I dont remember the exact firmware version, but it is 3.6.1 series. Have you seen this?

Regards,
Sinu

Yep. I have seen this and it is not a bug. To fix this you can set i.e. var1 and auto. But here is some more info about the most misunderstood variable:

PIPE variable is certainly necessary in streaming situations. But even if you think your policy isn't otherwise streaming, using PIPE between steps can help keep memory use down, and it's harmless otherwise. The only specific cost of it is that you can't refer to that context or its variables elsewhere in the processing policy (or, if you're saving a context in the request policy, the response policy).
