Highlights

New features and enhancements Description
Support for Microsoft Azure infrastructure provider In this release, IBM webMethods Cloud Container has been certified to run on Azure cloud platform.
Support new type of solution with only Universal Messaging IBM webMethods Cloud Container offers the ability to create a new type of solution with only Universal Messaging that allows you to expose a Universal Messaging server without the need to have an Integration Server(s) to the external world. This capability will allow you to publish and consume messages from external applications, such as webMethods.io Integration.
Unit Test enhancements The following enhancements are now available in the Unit Test framework for Test Case editor screens:
  • You can specify the field that you want to assert instead of the entire output, when assigning values to pipeline variables.
  • Handle empty field validation: If you do not provide an input value for a string field, the string field will not be included in the service invocation. Now you can handle empty values with the help of Include empty values for string types field. If this field is selected, the empty field will be considered. If you do not select this field, the value for the empty field will be derived from the global variable, if defined.
Support for logging framework in Cloud Container IBM webMethods Cloud Container now supports downloading Integration Server custom logs.

Known Issues

This section lists the issues for this release that were known when this readme was published.

SCI-2012
When an environment is created using the Allow users of Another Environment option, then the users of another environment will not be able to connect using Software AG Designer to the newly created environment using the same user credentials.
Workaround: Create a local user in the linked environment and then proceed.

PIEAR-1446
In webMethods Adapter for JDBC, polling notifications are not retaining the enabled state after the IBM webMethods Cloud Container solution gets Reactivated or Upgraded or Cloned.
Workaround: Enable the Adapter for JDBC polling notifications manually, once the webMethods Integration Server is up and running.

KUB-5326
In an Integration Server cluster setup, one of the instances is restarted manually from the user interface. In such circumstances, the runtime transaction may fail a maximum of up to a half-minute because the instance is going down.
Workaround: There is no workaround currently for this issue.

BOC-12117
When a Trading Networks service is executed in IBM webMethods Cloud Container, few nodes such as ‘ValidationSvc’, ‘VerificationSvc’, ‘SigningSvc’, ‘Attributes’, ‘PipelineMatchIData’, ‘docType’, ‘dtd’, ‘queries’, ‘qryEvals’, ‘sig_queries’, ‘attribQueries’, ‘envelopeIData’, ‘ValidationSchema’, ‘recordBlueprint’, ‘VERSION_NO’, ‘_contentType’, ‘standard’, ‘version’, ‘transaction’, ‘iidQuery’, ‘EDIBDT.Standard’, ‘EDIBDT.Version’, ‘EDIBDT.DocType’, ‘EDIBDT.IsRootEnv’, ‘EDIBDT.Queries’, ‘EDIBDT.IID’ in the pipeline are not shown in service output rendered in IBM webMethods Cloud Container user interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround currently for this issue.

PIE-68895
A global variable of the password type is displayed as encrypted text in Designer.
During variable substitution in flow services, a password configured as a global variable is displayed as encrypted text instead of masked characters (*). This happens when Integration Server configuration containing global variables is deployed using Command Central.
Workaround: The workaround for this issue is to deploy global variables using ACDL files through Deployer.

 Instead of using the intended time frames of 10 minutes for normal alert intervals and 12 hours for repeating the same alert, the user interface deceives the user into believing that alerts will be issued according to the frequency indicated in the UI. As a result, the disabled check-box field for the alert mail configuration is also eliminated, along with the interval field. This information is made clear in the tool-tip message for the email field.

 When an email address is changed in the alert configurations from the Monitoring page of IBM webMethods Cloud Container, the Alertmanager pod did not get updated, therefore notifications were sent to the old email address.
Now the tenant API has implementations to update the Alertmanager secrets.
