EcoSys Version
4.0

This Release Bulletin provides a brief description of any enhancements or new features as well as bug fixes that are included in version 4.0.

What's New

Multi-tenancy

  • Connect version 4.0 is only available as a multi-tenant application in Hexagon Smart Cloud. Note that there is no on-premise Connect version 4.0, but Connect version 3.1 is still available for on-premise use.

  • Every tenant has access to three environments (also called ‘rings’):

    • production (paired with EcoSys ‘production’)

    • test (paired with EcoSys ‘test’)

    • preview (paired with EcoSys ‘dev’)

    The ‘production’ and ‘test’ environments run the ‘stable’ version of Connect, while the ‘preview’ environment runs the upcoming version of Connect

  • A new version of Connect will be available approximately every 4 weeks.

    • This version will be deployed to the ‘preview’ ring only and will be available for end-user acceptance testing for a period of 4 weeks

    • At the end of those 4 weeks of acceptance testing, the version in the ‘preview’ ring will be promoted to the ‘production’ and ‘test’ rings

    • Email notifications will be sent out before new versions of Connect are deployed to any ring

OAuth2 support for SOAP endpoints

  • OAuth2 credentials can now be used for SOAP endpoints

What's Changed

  • Automatic Retry for SOAP endpoints

    • SOAP calls that result in HTTP failure codes of 5xx, 4xx and SOAP faults will be automatically retried after 30 seconds

    • A failed call will be retried twice at most

  • Agent configuration

    • The ability to add, edit, and delete Agents is no longer available from the Connect UI

    • Every tenant has access to a ‘default’ Agent – the physical provisioning of Agents is automatically managed by the system

  • Job Scheduling Fairness

    • A tenant can only consume 5 Agents i.e. run 5 steps in parallel at most

    • This prevents a single tenant from monopolizing the system

  • Job Execution History

    • Job execution history is automatically purged to retain at most 90 days of history

    • A tenant can purge a specific job’s history to retain less than 90 days

  • Logs

    • New ‘From’ and ‘To’ controls can be used to filter the timeline (up to 72 hours in the past)

    • Logs are consolidated across all services and sorted by time

  • System Settings/Configuration

    • Certain settings that were previously available at the Connect system level are now available at the tenant level

      connect.debug.soap.logIncomingMessages.enabled connect.debug.soap.logOutgoingMessages.enabled connect.debug.odata.logMessages.enabled connect.common.soap.cacheWsdl connect.agent.processMetricsTroubleshooting connect.dispatcher.schema.defaultTimeoutSeconds connect.jobExecutor.jobs.defaultStepExecutionTimeoutMinutes

    • These settings can be managed by using the ‘System Utilities > Settings’ screen

    • The ‘System Configuration’ screen is no longer available
