8.27.0 Release Notes
Includes new version of: Transtream Setup (3.20.0), HubCapp Data Agent (1.9.0).
Possible Breaking Changes
| What has changed | What to do |
|---|---|
| The customer specific endpoint must be configured within IIS and the Administration App when upgrading to 8.27.0. If not configured, no messages are sent to the customer endpoints. Previously, this was part of Transtream logic, but has been superseded by the ability to configure external endpoints. See TRANS-4279. | Ensure that an appropriate "External Toolkit" based endpoint has been installed and configured within the Administration App. Ensure an appropriate level of end to end testing is performed with impacted customers. |
| With the introduction of the new AS2 Server, the existing AS2 endpoint needs to be moved into the binaries that are released with 8.27.0. See TRANS-4184. | Reconfigure within IIS any existing AS2 endpoints and ensure these are now linking to the product files (E.g. C:\Program Files(x86)\Transtream\Versions\8.27.0.0\AS2 Server). Additionally, ensure that all appropriate credentials are entered into the Administration App for all impacted carriers, such as CEVA. |
