New and Changed Features for Release 14c (14.1.2.0.0)
- OAuth Support for Email Driver: UMS provides support for OAuth 2.0 based authentication to Gmail and Microsoft exchange which enables users to authorize one app or service to sign into another without divulging private information, such as passwords. For more information, see Configuring Email Driver with OAuth in Administering Oracle User Messaging Service.
- Enhancements to UMS Drivers: UMS supports the new Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) driver used for mobile push notification service that can send mobile push notifications to Android applications. Enhancements to APNS and XMPP drivers include updates to configuration, common properties and custom properties, and support for Twitter Driver is dropped. For more information, see Administering Oracle User Messaging Service.
- Support for Saving Driver Properties: UMS provides support to save driver specific properties in the UMS database. When the UMS driver appears, the properties stored in the DRIVERPROPERTIES table for specific fields override the values in the file and the driver instance uses those property values from the database to process requests. For more information, see Saving Driver Properties in Administering Oracle User Messaging Service.
- SMPP Custom Property: New SMPP custom property field Optional Params is introduced which enables passing of additional parameters along with SMS. For more information, see SMPP Custom Properties in Administering Oracle User Messaging Service.
