Column Definitions

  • Feature: Provides a description of the feature being delivered.

  • Module Impacted: Identifies the module impacted associated with the feature, if any.

  • Scale: Identifies the size of the feature. Options are:

    • Small: These UI or process-based features are typically comprised of minor field, validation, or program changes. Therefore, the potential impact to users is minimal.

    • Large: These UI or process-based features have more complex designs. Therefore, the potential impact to users is higher.

  • Delivered: Is the new feature available for use immediately after upgrade or must the feature be enabled or configured? If no, the feature is non-disruptive to end users and action is required (detailed steps below) to make the feature ready to use.

  • Customer Action Required: You must take action before these features can be used. These features are delivered disabled and you choose if and when to enable them.

Functional Enhancements

This section describes the functional enhancements for this release.

API to Retrieve, Create and Delete Store Collections

An Xcenter REST API to retrieve, create and delete store collections has been implemented.

Attachment File Name Enhancements

The file extensions of exported attachment files have been updated so that the file types match appropriately.

Deployment Queue Clearing

XOCS now supports deployment queue clearing so that the deployment backlog is purged after a configurable amount of time without affecting performance.

Estate Management

The Upgrader package in Xenvironment, Xstore, and Xservices is provided in a consolidated form that simplifies the upgrade process and dramatically reduces bandwidth requirements.

Email Alerts for Expiring Store SSL Certificates

A configuration has been added to send an email alert when SSL certificates expire in stores based on a configurable number of days. This enhancement limits the number email alerts sent for bad keystores.
