• Support for Custom RDS

• Enhancements in Equipment Tree View Visualization

• Support to Partition IPV4 Subnet in Assigned State

• Support to Assign Public IPV4 Ranges to Private IP Address Domains

• Support to Bulk Unassign Services for Devices

• Support to View Assigned Services of a IPV4 or IPV6 Subnet from the Consumers Tab

In the Equipment visualization, you can now view additional details of a selected entity such as consumed and free slots, free ports, card name, number of ports, and so on.

See UIM Online Help for more information.

UIM 7.6.0 includes the following enhancements in the Service Inventory Management and Resource Inventory Management APIs as follows:

• Service Inventory Management: ServiceDate is also supported as a filtering criteria.
• Resource Inventory Management: Updates in the Resource GET API Response HTTP status codes.

See REST API for Unified Inventory Management for more information on REST APIs.

UIM 7.6.0 supports Custom RDS over AWS.

The Equipment Tree View Visualization page provides the following details now:

• Visualize the cards, subcards, and ports in the same visualization page.
• View the corresponding selected card or subcard in the Visualization page and view the corresponding details.
• Customize the Physical port colors and view them in the Visualization page.
• View the visualization for subcards from the Tree view using Open Visual option from Actions or from the Visualization page.
• View the slot availability status.
• View the slot label in the visualization and the instructions to understand the label are provided at the bottom of the Visualization page.

IPV4 subnet can be partitioned even when the subnet is in Assigned status. This can be achieved by setting uim.ip.subnet.allowPartitionOnAssignedSubnet to true.

See Table 5-12 in UIM System Administrator’s Guide for more information.

You can assign public IPV4 ranges to private IP address domains. This can be achieved by setting uim.ip.network.allowPublicIPRangeInPrivateDomain to true.

See Table 5-12 in UIM System Administrator’s Guide for more information.

UIM 7.6.0 supports the conditional dropdown options in Property Location.

The order of conditional dropdown values are as follows:

1. Country
2. Region
3. State
4. Cluster
5. District
6. Town

UIM 7.6.0 supports you to create a shelf using the EquipmentManager.addEquipmentToEquipmentHolders_createShelfCase extension point. Creating a shelf auto creates a holder and adds the cards as designed.

You can add an equipment to an existing holder using the EquipmentManager_addEquipmentToEquipmentHolders extension point.

You can create sub holders using the CREATE_SUBHOLDERS_BASED_ON_SHELF_TYPE ruleset.

You can now unassign services by selecting multiple references under the Consumers tab of Pipe, Logical Device, or LDA. You use Unassign button to unassign these references.

See UIM Online Help for more information.

From the References section of the Consumers tab for IPV4 Subnet or IPV6 Subnet, you can view the list of all consumers referenced such as Place, Network, Logical Device, and LDA. You click on the hyperlink of a service to view the corresponding details. You click the back button to come back to the Consumers tab.

See UIM Online Help for more details.

This release includes the following enhancements in Unified Inventory and Topology and UIM cloud native deployments:

• Support to Deploy UTIA with Restricted Internet Access

• Support for Generic Ingress Controller in UIM and UTIA

• Support for Customizing Subdomain Separator using Wildcard SSL Certificates

• Uptake WLSKO Domain Version from v8 to v9

• Enhancements in Unified Message Bus Architecture

• Support to Use any SAML 2.0, OIDC, or OAuth 2.0 Compliant Identity Provider for SSO

You can access UTIA in a restricted internet access environment. The latest version of UTIA supports this functionality. However, you may need to whitelist map URLs to view GeoMaps or GeoTiles within UTIA that is working with a restricted internet access.

See Unified Inventory and Topology Deployment Guide for more information.

UIM 7.6.0 supports a generic ingress controller in UTIA and UIM Cloud Native environment. A sample for using the generic ingress controller is packaged with UIM_CNTK and Common_CNTK.

For UIM 7.6.0 or later, using Traefik as the generic ingress controller is optional.

See UIM Cloud Native Deployment Guide and Unified Inventory and Topology Deployment Guide for more information.

UIM 7.6.0 supports customizing a subdomain separator using the wildcard SSL certificate. However, the domain or hostname must end with <hostsuffix> that is defined in $COMMON_CNTK/samples/applications.yaml.

To customize the subdomain separator, update application.yaml and project.yaml using subDomainNameSeperator parameter.

See UIM Cloud Native Deployment Guide and Unified Inventory and Topology Deployment Guide for more information.

UIM 7.6.0 includes the UIM Clusters that are upgraded from WebLogic Kubernetes Operator v8 to v9. To support this, the Helm charts are upgraded accordingly.

The Kafka and Strimzi versions are upgraded in UIM 7.6.0 that in turn upgraded Unified Message Bus.

See UIM Compatibility Matrix for more information.

For enabling SSO configuration, you can now use any Identity Provider that supports SAML 2.0 and OIDC/OAuth 2.0 protocols.

See UIM Installation Guide, UIM Cloud Native Deployment Guide, and Unified Inventory and Topology Deployment Guide for more information.

UTIA 1.1.0.0.0 includes the following enhancements:

• The topology legend displays the following:
  • Description of the nodes along with the corresponding specifications.
  • Default icons for the nodes.
  • List of custom icons.
  • List of custom colors.

    Note:

    Custom Icons and Custom Colors appear in the legend only if you set the Advanced Settings.

  • Select any node or edge within the legend to highlight it in the topology graph.
• Access nodes of the subnetwork are displayed with a new icon.
• From the Select Icons option:
  • New custom icons are available.
  • Uploaded icons can be deleted
• For larger networks, under Search and Filter Topology, the nodes and edges are divided across pages. Similarly, for Ring Search in a larger network, the rings are divided across pages.

See Unified Topology User’s Guide for more information.

UIM 7.6.0 includes Tech Stack updates.

See UIM Compatibility Matrix for more information.

This section provides you with details on fixed and known issues.

Table 1-1 lists and describes the fixed issues in UIM 7.6.
