CIC Cockpit Enhancements

This release contains general enhancements and improvements, including infrastructure updates put in place to support future capabilities and development.

OFTP Endpoints

CIC now supports communications over OFTP, a protocol standard used worldwide, especially in Europe in the automobile industry. The addition of OFTP Endpoints can help ease the transition from on-premise solutions to Cleo's CIC Cloud Edition.  For more information, see OFTP Endpoint.

Enhanced control of File System Endpoint folders via Data Flows

Starting with version 1.0.17 of CIC Agent, when a Data Flow contains a File System Endpoint as its source, you can control whether files in subfolders are included recursively in transfers using this Data Flow. See Controlling Recursion for a File System Endpoint in Working with Data Flows.

Fixes

Several issues have been addressed and fixed with this current release:

• Fixed an issue where a single message could be processed multiple times resulting in multiple Message Tiles with different Job IDs referring to a single message in CIC Cockpit.
• Fixed an issue where successfully transformed payloads were sent to incorrect Endpoints.

CIC Studio/Engine Enhancements

This release contains several minor fixes for recent Production issues and includes infrastructure updates meant to improve general platform stability.

Prevent ticket creation by filtering error codes

Enhancements to REST Connectors and REST WS Consumers can help you prevent ticket generation in CIC Cockpit for certain scenarios in which failed processes don’t necessitate failed jobs. Additional parameters let you specify which HTTP errors codes shouldn't cause a job to fail, thus a ticket not created. See how to Prevent ticket creation in CIC Cockpit through Web Service Consumers and Connectors.

Improved ability for WS Consumer to retrieve HTTP response codes

CIC Studio now makes it easier to access HTTP response codes and messages when working with WS Consumer objects. This can be beneficial when building business logic around a WS Consumer that requires HTTP status codes. See Retrieving HTTP response details with a Web Service Consumer (REST).

Fixes

Several issues have been addressed and fixed with this current release:

• Improved sizing of the Connector Vault Creation Wizard.

• Fixed an issue in which certain parameters used for searching in earlier versions of the Studio Auditor were not available in later versions.

• Added a null check for cases when an authorization server does not return their access_token response with a new refresh token.
• Fixed an issue in which trying to access the MSD365 API via the Connector caused an error
  (InvocationTargetException).
• Fixed an issue in which wrong methods were used being used in cases where an XML Schema had elements or attributes in the same level with the same name but different cases. For example id vs ID.
• Added logic to allow Stored Procedures to run successfully when 'begin tran' and 'commit' are used in the SQL Statement.

CIC Agent Enhancements

The current release is 1.0.17. This release contains general enhancements and improvements, including infrastructure updates put in place to support future capabilities and development.

October 28, 2021

The following enhancements are included in this release. 

CIC Library Enhancements

Two new Accelerators and their supported Integration Flows have been added to the CIC Library of Accelerators, Connectors, and Boosters.

NetSuite - Shopify

This Accelerator is designed to retrieve the Shopify orders at a specific interval and create the corresponding Standard Sales Order on NetSuite. Once the Orders/Items are fulfilled on the NetSuite, the corresponding Item Fulfillments are retrieved from the NetSuite and updated as a Shipment to the Shopify Order. 

TMW Truckmate - EDI X12 Load Tender-to-Invoice

Also called the L2I cycle, Load Tender-to-Invoice is how your business receives, processes, manages, and completes Load Tender requests. The flow begins with a tender and includes each step of the delivery and payment process. In this case, TMW Truckmate represents the backend system.

Accelerators contain prebuilt Schemas, Rulesets, Business Processes, and other resources used for development, deployment, and execution. This includes mapping tools specific to several business flows as part of the Accelerators. Finally, there are also resources necessary to display data in several Cockpit monitoring pages.

For complete details on Accelerators built into Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC), start with Accelerators: An Overview located in the Working with the CIC Library section of the Solution Center.

Automatic/Extended File Transfer Retry Processing

When a file transfer send attempt fails, CIC now automatically retries the file transfer. This is especially helpful in cases where the cause of the failure is transient and temporary and only requires another attempt. In cases where the initial retry also fails, CIC continues to attempt retries on an extended cycle at intervals that increase to a maximum of 60 min. Data about the extended retry cycle is displayed on the Jobs List and Jobs Details page. See Retrying Failed File Transfer Attempts.

API Visibility in Job Details

As part of improved visibility for API and EDI integrations, the CIC Cockpit Jobs Details page now displays job details for API-driven integration (Business Process execution). Previously there was no visibility for Provider APIs. Customers would process orders via an API, but had no visibility as to whether they reached their backend systems. Now the Web Service Provider generates a Provider Endpoint (once deployed) and provides job details. (just like Consumer). This coincides with the ability to now create, define, and deploy Web Service Provider resources in the CIC Studio as part of API integration. 

New CIC Connector for Amazon S3

CIC now supports Amazon S3 as a source or destination Endpoint for ecosystem integrations. Like other Endpoint types, S3 Endpoints are defined within CIC while the actual data source resides outside of CIC. For reference information about S3 Endpoints, see S3 Endpoint.

• CIC now offers Scheduled Reports that use saved filtering criteria from the Activity page to generate reports that can be sent to registered CIC users. See Managing Scheduled Reports.
• Users can now sign up to receive Notifications when certain event types occur. Use your user profile to enable notifications for certain events and receive notifications by way of the email address associated with your user profile. See Enabling Notifications for Self-Service CIC Users.

CIC Studio Enhancements

• CIC Studio now provides the Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM connector that lets you build integrations to connect and integrate data into this popular backoffice system. The new CIC Connector supports both cloud and on-premise versions of Microsoft Dynamics 365 SCM application. See Connector Overview - Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• The Schedules view, which had been removed from the previous Studio version, is now available in the Admin Console Perspective. This view provides a calendar view showing all deployed Process Schedules on a yearly, monthly, weekly, or daily basis. Users can also see a list of scheduled processes. This works in conjunction with the Process Schedule object, which allows you to assign a specific Business Process and determine when and how often it will execute. See Schedules View.
• Users can now change the time zone in the Schedule view. This allows coordination between the time zone where the actual Process Schedule deployment might occur and the design-time default time zone. 

Fixes

• Fixed an issue with time-based filtering in Messages Tile view. 
• Fixed an issue in Messages Tile view and List view where, for tiles or list entries with the same message ID displayed adjacent to each other, trading partner IDs were not always updated properly.
• Fixed an issue where a duplicate key violation was thrown when updating FA information.
• Fixed an issue in File Adapters (move, copy, delete) that now reacts correctly to blank file names. 
• Fixed an issue with the Email Endpoint where a Class Cast Exception would show in the job log when there was a PGP signature mismatch.
• A job is now created if a user logging into Cleo Portal presents an invalid password or if Cleo Portal is not enabled for the user.  A job is also now created when attempting to upload to Cleo Portal a file that is rejected because of the file name/type.
