Insight 8.4 Release Notes

Insight 8.4 enhancements include:

Display Control View Filter Information in Control View Components

Components that display a Control View will also display the data filter that was used to create the View. The data filter will be displayed in the component’s lower left corner.

Display a Control View’s, Subview’s, or Control Group’s Execution Details by Mouse Hover

Control execution details are displayed by moving the mouse pointer over a Control View’s, Subview’s, or Control Group’s graphic image. For each View, Subview, or Control Group, it will show the number of controls, executions, errors, warnings, and resolved executions.

Display Structure of Control Views That Do Not Have Executions

Users can drill down into Control Views that do not have any control executions associated with them (gray graphic images) to display their underlying structure.

Resize Control View Graphic Images

The height and width of Control View graphic images can be specified on the User Preferences page. In addition to changing the appearance of the graphic image, this feature makes it possible to display more Subviews or Groups on the Control View page when the graphic images are smaller.

Display Custom Graphic Images in Control Views

Only JPEG, PNG, and GIF file formats are supported. Custom image file(s) must be copied to the following location: <install_folder>/Infogix/igx-data/default/II/customimages

Control Views will display a custom image only after its image file has been selected and set on the User Preferences page.

Platform Thread Resource Usage Optimization

Fewer thread resources are used with Caching, Process Management, and Cluster Commands. Additionally, the platform specific thread names are prefixed with the product name and category. This is particularly helpful to:

• Identify problems when multiple applications run on the same JVM™.
• Analyze Thread Dumps and Heap Dumps.

Configuration Independent Product .ear File

This enhancement simplifies console-based WebSphere® deployments across multiple environments. In the prior releases, the .ear file generated by the dist.bat (or dist.sh), contained certain environment specific information that prevented the use of the same .ear file across different environments.

The enhancement provides the ability to re-use the same .ear file across multiple environments, when Infogix products are deployed manually from the WebSphere administrative console. Additionally, the product patching process is simplified as there is only one .ear file that must be patched.

Enforcing Strong Password Usage in Embedded Directory Deployments

The enhancement provides the ability to enforce the use of strong passwords in Embedded Directory deployments.

Enable the EMBEDDED_DIR_STRONG_PASSWORD_SECURITY property to impose strong passwords. You can configure region specific password policy settings, and also define the password complexity. For more information, see the Infogix Properties Guide.

Infogix Administrative Console: Health Checker Improvements

Health Checker feature is now available in Infogix ER, Infogix Insight and Infogix Perceive. You can run health checks to detect general problems at the platform-level such as runtime problems with clustering, database, file systems, and configuration.

Process and Memory Viewer is now Supported on Unix®/Linux®

The Process and Memory Viewer that is accessible from the Infogix Assure administrative console, is now supported for product deployments on the Unix®/Linux® environments.
