Changed features and feature capabilities in version 10.2.3

The following features have changed or have been introduced or removed since the previous release:

OneDB and Infomix databases replaced by PostgreSQL

OneDB and Informix are no longer supported and support for PostgreSQL has been introduced to replace them. PostgreSQL provides a number of advantages, such as enhanced performance, robust features, and seamless scalability, as described in Elevate your data management with PostgreSQL database. If you are using OneDB or Informix and want to upgrade to version 10.2.3, you can extract all your definitions from OneDB or Informix and import them into a supported database. For more information, see Connecting the master domain manager to a new database and Connecting the Dynamic Workload Console to a new node or database.

Derby database is no longer supported

Derby database is no longer supported.

If you upgrade from an environment where you are using Derby, you have to install a supported database and extract all your definitions from Derby as described in Connecting the Dynamic Workload Console to a new node or database.

FIPS compliance temporarily not supported

FIPS compliance is not supported in the current product version. This is because OpenSSL 3.0 libraries do not provide a FIPS-compliant validation algorithm for P12 certificates. Development is in progress with the aim of supporting FIPS in upcoming releases.

An optional parameter named enablefips is available in the serverinst and twsinst scripts to check FIPS settings before you install or upgrade. The default value in a fresh installation is false.

If you are upgrading from an environment where FIPS compliance is supported, you should disable FIPS configuration. When upgrading, a check is performed on your settings to ensure FIPS is not enabled. If it is enabled, the upgrade stops and an error message is displayed. To resume the upgrade, set the enablefips parameter to false when running the serverinst and twsinst scripts. The upgrade proceeds and the configuration files are updated accordingly. For more information, see the FAQ about FIPS compliance in section FAQ - Upgrade procedures in Planning and Installation Guide.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 out of support

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 went out of support in June 2024. As a result, it is not supported in HCL Workload Automation version 10.2.3.

Certificates now managed using the certman command

While in previous versions it was possible to generate certificates at installation time using the serverinst command, the new certman command can now manage certificates more efficiently and easily. For more information, see Certman: the new tool to manage certificates.
