The latest features as of May 14 include key platform updates and several connector improvements.
Coming Soon: Agent V2 and Automated Migration
The App Xchange Agent, which facilitates connectivity to several products like Vista, is currently receiving a substantial update. This update provides significant advantages in performance and ease of use.
Agent V2 Key Advantages
-
Reduced wait time in action processing.
-
Ability to leverage the Connections feature, offering a better user experience than the database connection string and greater credential security.
-
No more agent splitting.
-
Easier installation process.
-
Eventual integration with the App Xchange SDK.
Automated Migration Process
No customer action is required for the full-scale rollout. For Vista Cloud Customers, App Xchange and the Vista team will coordinate all needed steps.
As part of this process, you will see some automatic changes on a rolling basis in the coming weeks:
-
New v2 agents in the On-Prem Agents tab.
-
New Connections that replace existing Vista configuration database connection strings.
The rollout process will be closely monitored. If a rollback is necessary, the v2 agent can be stopped and agent v1 restarted.
If you have any questions, post them in The Network.
