Release Notes 6.4.6

Enhancements

• REST API Subscription Service - Integration to third-party applications such as ServiceNow, Slack, and so on.

  When using the subscription service, you can now create templates to format alert data that can be used to interact with the REST API of any third-party application that provides a REST interface. The subscription service REST API includes standard default templates for ServiceNow, Slack and DX OI, and others can be created as needed. For more information, see REST API Specification for Subscription Services.

• Improved performance of jobstream building.

  The performance for adding and rebuilding jobstreams has been improved. The performance improvements are more dramatic when you use SQL Server as the AAI database. Further optimizations for Oracle will follow.

• Headless Installer for Windows.

  AAI can now be installed on Windows from the command line using properties that are stored in a configuration file so it is no longer necessary to have an attended install on the Windows platform. The functionality already exists for the UNIX/Linus platform. For more information, see Installing AAI in Quiet Mode (Headless Installer - UNIX and Windows).

• The database commits for updating statistics in the database have been modified to be batched to improve the overall performance of the Statistics Generator process within AAI. The stats.maxJobsPerTransaction server parameter (default=10000) is used to control the batch size.

• Added additional jobstream-specific data to the output of the GET /jobstreams REST API endpoint.

• On the thick client, the Tools > Launch Web UI menu item has been updated to launch the next generation UI (http{s}://{hostname:port}/aai/web/v2).

  That is the same page that you can access from the third URL on the web browser launch page. You can access the Web UI Reports page using the second URL on the web browser launch page. For more information, see Logging In to AAI and Web UI Reports.
