...
- . This is a new portal dashboard where end-users can:
Search & filters for services and see their key configurations
- Execute two new actions on SOAP Web
- services with local
- WSDL:
- validate and promote
- The Validate action
- uploads your new WSDL and schema files to a temporary location
- , validates its compilation and
- creates a temporary WS-Gateway to ensure the object is up.
The - Promote action
will upload your - allows uploading a new WSDL and schema files to the target location (
Device - device and
Domain- domain)
create - and creating a
newer - new version of
your - the service.
- Execute two new actions on SOAP Web
- services with remote
- WSDL:
- validate and promote
- The Validate action
- updates a new or existing URL of
- a remote WSDL,
- validates its compilation, and
- creates a temporary WS-Gateway to ensure the object is up.
- The Promote action
- updates a new or existing URL of
- a remote WSDL in a target location (Device and Domain)
- , and creates a newer version of
- the service.
- All actions requires permission require permissions set by a security policy (custom roles).
- Each Action can action may be extended / or customized using PERL Python scripts. Example scripts are open source and may be obtained from a git repository - see docs
Early Failing Requests dashboard
- Add Added a new dashboard for early failing requests (such as TLS/SSL failures) - where a request is received but is not able unable to reach the execution phase of a Processing Rule Processing Rule of a Service - (requires firmware 7.5.2.4+)
Service API Dashboard
DPOD now provides a new dashboard that shows provides statistics pertaining to a service URI, such service URIs. These statistics include the number of invocations and min/max/avg latency in addition to the Service API (URL) Dashboard.
Improved User Experience
Users can now save favorite filters combination filter combinations and use them in the futuresubsequent sessions.
- A newfree text search filed field was added to transaction list screen that will search for values in multiple filtersthe Transactions List page and Raw Messages Page where the user may enter a single value that will be searched across various data fields.
- Service filter now supports auto completecompletion.
- All applicable filters supports support multi-select of values.
- Users can now change the size of the series (number of values) that is displayed in charts of type "top N".
- Add A recent notifications panel that was added to The Navigation Bar. It displays the recent UI notifications of for the user (not persisted).
- Add a A new "Share" button that added. It allows sharing the current page (including filters, transaction ID etc.) by copying/pasting the current URL or by sending it via email
- Add more values to time Time range filters now provides more options: last 10 minutes, start of day, start of week, last 10 minutesProvide consistent this month.
- Consistent behavior across pages of zoom into a transaction or use its value as a filter criteria.
Data Migration Procedure
- From time to time, DPOD customers may requires from time to time be required to install a new DPOD installation but requires preserve while preserving the data already collected. for example:
- Customer deployed DPOD Appliance mode at version v1.0.0 with CentOS 6.7 and now required requires to migrate to CentOS 7.2 introduced at version v1.0.2+.
- Customer deployed DPOD on a virtual server but since load was increased it is required to move to Physical serversincreased and now requires a physical server.
- Customer deployed DPOD as appliance Appliance mode but wants to migrate to nonNon-appliance Appliance mode (RHEL) to better comply with organisation their organization security requirements and standards.
- A new New procedure and tools was were introduced to support support customers with migration of their Stores's an existing DPOD Store data to a new DPOD installation in in each of the scenarios above.
New Features 1.0.5
...
API Connect Integration
DPOD now has new capabilities when coupled with API Connect v5.0.7.2+ (API-C) and DPOD
Display a dedicated transaction list with only API-C transactions
Filter by API-C fields (e.g. API name, API version, catalog, HTTP method, API urls and a dozen more fields)
Calculate and display latency graphs for each policy execution inside an API (including custom policies)
Provide both API-C and DataPower views of the same transaction, and the ability to switch between them
A new dashboard of APIs and the date they were last executed in the system.
API payloads may now be captured
Automatically run setup DPOD log targets for each new API-C domain created. (This requires enablement in the monitored device configuration). Further configuration based on domain name prefix is available.
To activate API-C integration, perform (from the Web Console) a re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain. You can also use the auto-setup feature to handle API-C domains created in the future.
Maintenance Plan for Syncing DataPower Appliance Configuration () - see limitations
DPOD now provides a multitude of syncing capabilities:
...
To activate Side Call Analysis on DPOD run re-configuration of all your log targets in the DataPower that runs the API-C domain.
