3.8.4: 15 JUN 2014 – Alert improvements, Backup of message storage, Beta of Message Definition Tree edition

Alerts improvements

The alerts function has been simplified to fit better with the error management based now on the error status directly in the message record:

  • the comment field is now free text and searchable from the list page
  • the open / close status was removed
  • the attachments were removed. AS2 MDN are now available for all messages directly in the message record detail page.
  • internal representation was simplified.
Store and backups

Babelway has reviewed the backup policy for message data. We will now back them up every 6 hours. These backups, containing the encrypted messages data, are encrypted a second time using a technical key and kept in a different location than the primary store.

Message definition edit (admin preview)

The message definition edition has been completely reviewed in order to better fit the needs of our ‘advanced users’. The tool will be available in production, but only for Babelway admins.
At the next release (3.8.5), it will become the only tree, and the old one will be removed.
