Some fix packs and other maintenance packs deliver new functions.
The What's new in Version 11.0? topic introduces you to the main new function in IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0. This topic introduces you to the additional function that is added in fix packs.
For detailed information about the contents of fix packs and other
maintenance packs, see the WebSphere® Support web page,
where you can access additional information about IBM App Connect
Enterprise.
For more information about IBM App Connect
Enterprise Version 11.0,
see IBM App Connect Enterprise FAQ.
When you have enabled administration security and specified the queue-based (MQ) authorization mode, you can set permissions for users to act on the integration node and its resources.
For more information, see Authorization queues for queue-based administration security and Setting queue-based permissions.
You can configure administration security to control the rights of users to complete administrative tasks for independent integration servers (which are not managed by an integration node). You can enable administration security for the integration server, either by setting properties in the server.conf.yaml configuration file, or by using the mqsichangeauthmode command.
You can configure the integration server to authorize users to complete specific actions, by setting permissions for specified user roles. You can specify these permissions either on the mqsichangefileauth command or by setting properties in the server.conf.yaml configuration file for the integration server.
For more information, see Enabling administration security and Authorizing users for administration.
You can configure the collection of snapshot statistics, archive statistics, or both, by setting properties in the server.conf.yaml or node.conf.yaml configuration files.
For more information, see Configuring the collection of message flow accounting and statistics data and Output formats for message flow accounting and statistics data.
You can migrate an integration node or integration server from IBM Integration Bus Version 10.0 or IBM Integration Bus Version 9.0 to IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0.
Previous versions of IBM Integration Bus have provided the mqsimigratecomponents command, but this has been replaced in IBM App Connect Enterprise Version 11.0 by a new mqsiextractcomponents command.
For more information, see Migrating.
IBM App Connect Enterprise provides an integration server component and an integration node component. You can configure an integration node as the central point of administrative control over a set of owned integration servers (typically in an on-premise environment), or you can configure integration servers that are run independently from any integration node (typically in a container environment). This flexibility enables you to develop a solution that is best suited to the environment in which you intend to run your App Connect Enterprise applications. You can use integration nodes to provide management and control of your integration server processes, and to provide administration security for your resources, or you can choose to develop and deploy your applications to an independent integration server quickly and easily, without the need to create and configure an integration node.
For more information about integration nodes and integration servers, see Integration servers and integration nodes. For information about configuring these components, see Configuring integration nodes and Configuring integration servers.
You can configure integration nodes and integration servers by modifying properties in node.conf.yaml and server.conf.yaml configuration files, and saving the files directly onto the file system.
For more information about configuring integration nodes or integration servers, see Configuring integration nodes and Configuring integration servers.
IBM App Connect Enterprise policies are provided as replacements for the configurable services that were provided in IBM Integration Bus Version 10.0. Policies can be deployed to IBM App Connect Enterprise as part of a BAR file, or they can be placed directly onto the file system in a particular runtime environment, instead of deploying by using a BAR file.
Administrators can also control policies by using overrides to take precedence over deployed policies. The Policy editor in the Toolkit has also been enhanced, enabling you to create and configure additional user-defined policies.
For more information, see Policies overview.
You can configure administration security to control the rights of users to complete administrative tasks for IBM App Connect Enterprise integration nodes and resources. You can enable administration security for the integration node, either by setting properties in the node.conf.yaml configuration file, or by using the mqsichangeauthmode command.
You can use the mqsichangefileauth command to authorize users to complete specific actions, by setting permissions for specified user roles.
For more information, see Enabling administration security and Authorizing users for administration.
App Connect Enterprise supports the Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface (REST API), which you can use to administer integration nodes, integration servers, and other resources. The REST API classes and methods are described in the REST API V2 specification.
For more information, see Managing resources by using the administration REST API.
Support for the App Connect Enterprise command line interface has been extended to include additional commands, and the functionality of some commands has been enhanced.
For more information, see Commands.
