Features/Enhancements

Zero-Downtime Non-DB Upgrades

  • Global cache will be reinitialized if another Master node starts with a new Platform version. This will resolve Platform rolling update dependency.

  • A new option has been provided through the UI and API endpoint to reload the global cache. System administrators can reinitialize the global cache if it becomes corrupted in any case.

    • To reload the global cache, navigate to System Console → Control Panel → Global Cache → Reload.

    • You can also use the following REST V2 API endpoint: /system/cache/reloadglobalcache. This endpoint reloads the global cache."

  • New System Tests have been added to validate the global cache entities

  • A new UI option has been provided to rerun the System Tests

  • A fix has been implemented to reduce the Master startup time. Now, the Master component with 201 databases can start within 22 seconds. Previously, it used to take around 40 minutes.

For detailed information, see Global Cache in Control Panel and System Tests.

REST API V2 Enhancements

The following REST API V2 endpoints are now available.

  • Matured and running Jobs: /system/jobs - This endpoint lists down all the job details.

  • Jobs by ID: /system/jobs/{id} - This api returns any job either from matured/running jobs or from the history.

  • Completed Jobs History : /system/jobs/history - This endpoint lists down all the details of Job History.

For detailed information, see REST API 2.0 Documentation.

Partial Lock Enhancements

We are in the process of enhancing partial locking to configure components within an application to be partially locked. These features are not yet ready for production use. However, you may see some modifications to where partial locking preferences are managed. This is now accessible under the Application button Partial Locking Preferences.

Additionally code that is locked or partially locked will be obfuscated in installed tenants.
