Feature

Description

ISTIO Support

Deployed solutions designed and implemented with Financial Services Workbench now support OpenShift Service Mesh.

OIDC Support

For deployed solutions no longer a hard dependency of KeyCloak is necessary and other OIDC Providers are supported as well.

Documentation Support on Namespaces and Solutions

Easily create structured and meaningful documentation by using the Markdown editor provided for namespaces and solutions.

Auto-Generated Visualization for Services

Easily generate a diagram of a Domain Service or Integration Service to get an overview of its content and connections.

Auto-Generated Visualization for Operations

Easily generate a diagram of an operation to get an overview of its requests, responses, paths and their connections. New API operations will automatically have a diagram.

API Namespace Generation Based on an Uploaded API Specification

Easily create a new API namespace by uploading an existing API specification. The API namespace and its content are generated automatically.

View Uploaded API Specification

API dependencies with an API specification show the content of the provided specification file by clicking on the respective API dependency.

Support of Inline Schemas for Parameters

Financial Services Workbench now allows to use inline schemas for parameters.

Header Parameters in API Namespaces

Header parameters are now supported in API namespaces as a location type.

Header Parameters in Integration Namespaces

Header parameters are now supported in integration namespaces as a location type.

Extended Model Validations

Now circular dependencies in Domain namespaces or Integration namespaces are shown in the Problems section and during the Commit action.

Pipeline Configuration Details

For existing Pipeline Configurations within the solution you now can access the Details View to check the information.

Local Lookup for API Dependencies

Can be used for API dependencies that have been developed also with Financial Services Workbench and allows calling this dependencies without additional binding information.

Mapper Utility Class

Utility to map the properties of schemas in API namespaces to entity instances in domain namespaces and vice versa.

Implementation Support

Introduced a new Filter Factory to ease up complex queries

Error Handling Support

Introduced a local errorHandler for operations.

Additional Test Support

In order to test the implementation of external entities now test files are generated automatically and can be implemented.

IBM Watson® Knowledge Catalog Integration

Set up a connection to an IBM Cloud Pak for Data instance in the "Admin Settings" that allows you to communicate with IBM Watson® Knowledge Catalog.

Create Entities from IBM Watson® Knowledge Catalog Data Assets (experimental)

You can use an already profiled data asset from IBM Watson® Knowledge Catalog to generate an entity with the same properties.

Storing API Keys

The "User Settings" now provide a tab where you can store your personal API key(s) to access IBM Watson® Knowledge Catalog(s).

GIT Token Verification

GIT Token now can also be verfied after the creation.

Java Low-Code Solutions

It is now possible to model API namespaces with Solution Designer that can be implemented with Java (Spring Boot).

Undeploy Solution

The Solution Hub's Project Overview offers a new "Delete"-button to undeploy a solution.

Delete Solution

Besides deleting the Git project and the data related to the solution design by using the Delete Solutions capability, now the deployed solution also gets undeployed via the Solution Hub's undeploy capability.
