VASA
The following VASA enhancements are made in this maintenance release:
• SPO Details Pane
• ASO Details Pane
• Disable New Connections
• Auto-Suspend
• Stateless Application Housekeeping
• User-Defined Procedure - iiasohousekeep
• Support for RP_LOCAL
SPO Details Pane
The SPO Details pane is enhanced to allow maintenance of the new SPO registry entries RunAuthorizedAppsOnly and ShutdownGracePeriod.
ASO Details Pane
Added maintenance of Routing registry entry which replaces the DPO (OpenROAD.DomainPortal routing server) authentication override mechanism. Also, visual enhancements were made to the pane.
Disable New Connections
Added the ability to manually disable an AKA Detail registration, preventing new connections through the Name Server, but still allowing the ASO and any existing users to be monitored. A remote node can also be disabled manually.
Auto-Suspend
There is a new auto-suspend configuration option to automatically suspend an AKA Detail if housekeeping of that node fails. This provides automated failover causing new connections to be directed to other AKA Details with the same name. Remote nodes will also be suspended automatically if there are zero AKA Details available at the remote node (and the remote node is being monitored by the current VASA instance).
Stateless Application Housekeeping
Housekeeping of stateless applications is also now possible. This can be configured in VASA and a housekeeping log is displayed.
User-defined Procedure - iiasohousekeep
A new procedure, iiasohousekeep, can be overridden by a user procedure with the same name. This enables user defined housekeeping functionality to be implemented.
Support for RP_LOCAL
Nodes can be configured with server type = RP_LOCAL. This means that the NameServer can be used in a test environment where the server application is included in the client application.
