Changed features and feature capabilities in version 10.1 Fix Pack 1
A list of features changed since the previous release
The following features have changed or have been introduced or removed since the previous release:
- REST APIs documentation automatically integrated into the product documentation
- Information about REST APIs is automatically extracted from the code and integrated into the documentation at HCL Workload Automation API for easier reading and increased retrievability.
- File Proxies now selected randomly in the Managed File Transfer integration
- By default, the integration uses the File Proxy specified by the dynamic domain manager. You can also optionally define a list of preferred File Proxies to be used instead of the default list.
- Default storing mechanism of job log changed
- When you perform a fresh installation, by default the job log is stored in memory instead of being stored in a file, as in the previous releases. This ensures compliance with the PCI standard. For more information, see Log files and archived files.
- Enhanced security with the conn_verify property
- You can now optionally set the conn_verify property to 1 or 2, so that the agent must provide valid certificates in order to establish an SSL connection. The default value is 0, which means that no verification is performed on certificates.
- Hostname verification for File Proxy
- You can now optionally enable a check on the hostname defined for the certificates used by File Proxy. To enable the verification, create the Java system property named wa.fileproxy.enforceSSLhostnameVerify and set it to true.
- Hostname verification for the mail sender plug-in
- You can now optionally define the MAILPLUGIN_ENABLE_HOST_VERIFICATION property in the TWSConfig.properties file to enable the verification of the hostname of the SMTP server. If you set the property to yes, hostname verification is enabled, if you set it to no, no verification is performed. The default value for fresh installations is yes.
- Higher security for job integrations
- The Verify host name check box is selected by
default in some integrations. Starting from version 10.1 Fix Pack 1, to increase the
security standard provided by the product, this selection starts a check on the data
contained in the keystore file. Ensure you provide the correct path and credentials to
the keystore file in the Certificates section for the following integrations:
- JSR 352 Java Batch
- Restful
- Job Management
- Job Stream Submission
- Variable Table
If your integrations fail after upgrading to Fix Pack 1, you have the following options:AWKJMJ041E An error occurred during the Job submission. The error was "AWKSPI006E Keystore authentication failed. The error message is "No certificates provided, cannot verify the hostname."
- deselect the Verify host name check box.
- provide the correct path and credentials to the keystore file.
