Journey Manager 23.04 - COMING SOON

Journey Manager

Here is a list of the key features we plan to release in Journey Manager 23.04:

• Configuration Service: In this release, we've introduced a new functionality that allows you to quickly and easily reconfigure solutions from a single point. A configuration file can be uploaded to JM containing parameter values to be set. These are uploaded as a JSON file with a flat structure defining properties as name / value pairs. Currently the configuration service only covers a limited number of areas in JM, future releases will cover additional areas.
• Database Integrity Checker: We've added the Database Integrity Checker service and scheduled jobs to validate database integrity periodically. This service will generate a report for any issues in the TJM database that need to be addressed.
• New Database Integrity Checker Event Type and Configuration Service Event Type: We've introduced 2 new event types in Event Log. 
• Transaction Licensing Job Enhancement: We've added a new system property com.avoka.fc.core.service.reporting.enableLicensingJob to the existing Transaction Licensing scheduled job so you can disable writing licensing records to Event Log.

• Major Library Updates: Along with the normal library updates to address security vulnerabilities 23.04 contains some updates to major core technologies:

  WildFly: Updated to 28.0.1
  • Open JDK: Updated to jdk-17.0.4.1
• Change to Jakarta EE 10 : As part of the WildFly update we've replaced Java EE with Jakarta EE. This is a requirement for WildFly, and will affect all groovy services within TJM for customers upgrading.
  • Jakarta Migration Support: In Order to support our customers upgrading TJM we've created a service allowing you to convert Groovy services and security managers to be Jakarta EE 10 compatible. You can download this service (service-jakarata_transformer-v0.1.0.zip) from the download page. We have also enhanced our SDK documentation with strategies for migration of services.
