NCAE: Release Notes

R1.2-24

Core

A timeout in seconds can be configured per „Phase“. All deploy / decommission actions are then marked as „failed“ if the last response from the executor was not within this timeout.
The first steps towards role-based access controls are in place. These concepts are introduced:
- „Tenants“ lets system administrators group all data (Services, Service Instances, Devices, …) based on organizational units. This includes tenant inheritance and the possibility to explicitly share configured objects between tenants).
- Role based access control: Users without superuser permissions now require explicit permissions. Permissions can be managed in the django admin (a fully fledged frontend will follow). Please note that the buttons to edit data are still visible, and an error is raised if a user without permissions clicks them. The menu is already filtered according to permissions. Improved handling and display of buttons will follow – but this will be based on a new release of the frontend.

One time reports can now be properly created without any associated device and no longer lose module assocation on update.
The list of One time reports now always shows the number of elements as selected on the pagination.
One time reports supports now exporting of All Data or Filtered Data as CSV.
Local user management is now restricted to superusers for improved security.
Service Instances can now be deleted on the frontend
Counters check the usage of legacy data, so that it may be removed safely.
Log forwarding via Syslog is now fully RFC5424 compliant.
Usage of deprecated methods is now measured, so that it can be safely removed in the future.
Bugfix: „was_deployed“ now handles more edge cases.
Bugfix: fields of the type „service_instance_targets“ can now be imported from Excel.
An „identifier“ field is automatically added to nested groups. This used to be applied to top level groups only.
When the content of One Time Reports is sorted manually, a „natural sort“ algorithm is now applied, leading to better results with numeric / text data.
Upload files no longer present on backing storage are now gracefully handled instead of throwing an exception.
Integrated TimeBasedReports in GUI.

Added Tenant Support to the ACI Module.
BareMetal Service: Added Possibility for Sharing same Access Port Selector Name within one Leaf Profile.
Fixed EPG Report when no BD is present.
Configured TimeOut on ACI Collector Service.
Removed Legacy Reports and adjusted Service Templates accordingly.
Improved Performance during Updates of L3Out Service Instances.
