Custom Scopes are supported for Oauth2 REST inject (Outbound)
OAuth2 REST injects (Outbound) calls from RIB and works with User-defined scopes. The scope is now part of the system options and is available to update from the Admin user interface for easy accessibility. The extract writes the information to pipe-delimited files, which are bundled into a compressed zip file. You can then use the File Storage API to obtain the export files.
Auto Purge in Process Flow
A timer thread was added to the Process Flow to automatically purge data from the BDI process flow infra tables. This thread is scheduled to run every hour and scans for the processed datasets that have exceeded the specified purge delay. The default delay is set to 60 days, but this is configurable through the Process Flow UI. This feature can be turned off by setting a flag in the System Options tab.
Update the RFI Mail Recipient List the to Default Value
Updated the RFI mail recipient list to the default value and error email notifications are turned off by default. The user can update it to the desired value from the System Configuration tab of the RFI user interface.
JMS Console Email Notification Switch
In the JMS console, a global switch to turn off or turn on the email publishing feature has been introduced. When the switch is turned off, an email notification is not sent. By default, this notification is turned off.
Password Rotation Logs in Kibana
The database and WebLogic server password rotation activities in the log files are displayed on the Kibana dashboard.
Zero Downtime Password Rotation
RICS Database
In previous releases, the RICS password rotation required planned down time. However, with this update, a zero-downtime password rotation has been introduced. In sum, this will prevent any scheduled downtime for password rotation going forward. In addition to zero down time, the password rotation has been completely automated without any manual intervention.
RICS WebLogic Servers
In previous updates, password rotation pipelines require a bounce of the admin-managed server pods and the WebLogic password rotation. However, with this update, there is zero downtime for password rotation. In addition to zero downtime, the password rotation is automatic without any manual intervention.
