2022 08 23 release notes (dashboard)

Introduction

This page summarises release information for the Patchworks release to Production dated: 23rd August 2022.

New features

Inbound API connector

Our API empowers real-time connectivity, ensuring absolute control and access to any system or data source - you can build against an iPaaS and connect to any system of choice, securely.

You can now create and publish secure API endpoints (completely code-free!) with error handling and guaranteed delivery.

All of this is achieved using an intuitive Inbound API Connector.

With this, you configure a custom entity to define what information Patchworks should expect to receive in a payload. Once this is done, the connector is ready to use in Patchworks services. Add the Inbound API Connector as a service source, choose a destination connector, define field mappings between the two and enable a secure endpoint for your API requests. Easy!

For further information and instructions, please see our documentation: About the Patchworks Inbound API Connector.

Updated features

Performance & UI enhancements for the services page

The services list has been optimised and is now 50x faster to load. Additionally, the services page has a fresh, new look:

Organised by source connector, each service (and associated options) is displayed as a single line.

Bug fixes

Affected feature	Summary	Patchworks #
Inbound API Connector	Under certain circumstances, the name entered for a new Inbound API connector could not be saved.	TSYS-2048
Authorisation for connector credentials	Following recent updates to handle multiple authentication types, authorisation for a new connector using existing credentials could fail. This is because existing credentials would not have a setting for the authorisation_type property. A fallback has been added whereby the first related system authorisation type is set if none is found.	TSYS-2012, 2114, 2019
Seko API connector	Internal updates for API service and authorisation type.	TSYS-1995
