About this Release
What is new in this Release
The WSO2 BAM version 2.4.1 is the successor of version 2.4.0. It contains the following new features and enhancements:
Message interceptor/publisher for HL7 transport in WSO2 ESB. It comes with a message console to search and visualize information about events in a domain-aware manner. For example, you can view SOAP messages as XML views and HL 7 messages in native EDI format. See Setting up HL7 Data Agent.
Updated BAM's Cassandra version to 1.2. See for information on connecting to Cassandra 1.2 endpoints, see Clustering Business Activity Monitor .
- Fully tested incremental data processing support with an external Hadoop, in a distributed BAM setup. For configuration details, see Incremental Analysis.
- Fixed several issues related to synchronizing artifacts and sharing resources with a shared mounted registry. BAM nodes can now synchronize all artifacts correctly across the cluster. For configuration details, see Configuring the Deployment Synchronizer.
- Capability to add 'contains' and 'does not contain' clauses to search of Cassandra data. For information, see Searching Cassandra Data.
- Capability to index and search arbitrary fields according to their data types. See Indexing in Cassandra.
- Capability to add an external Oracle database (also supports MySQL, MSSQL and Derby, instead of the embedded H2) as the metadata store for Hive. See Configuring a Metadata Store for Hive.
Compatible WSO2 product versions
You can make any WSO2 product compatible with WSO2 BAM after installing a data agent in it. Data agents allow the product to communicate with the BAM server and send statistics for analysis. The following products have the latest, compatible data agents in them by default, and therefore, are compatible with BAM 2.4.1 (or any other BAM version):
- APIM 1.6.0
- AS 5.2.1
- ESB 4.8.1
- ELB 2.1.0
If a particular product version you are using does not have a data agent installed, follow the steps below to install one:
- Check the WSO2 Release Matrix and identify the WSO2 Carbon version that your product is based on.
- Go to WSO2 P2 repositories and select the repository that is based on the Carbon version you selected in the previous step.
- Add the feature repository to your product.
- Then, select the data agent that you need from the features in the repository, and install it in your product. For example, in order to send mediation statistics from WSO2 ESB to BAM, you must install
Mediation Statistics Data Agent
feature.
For information on the third-party software required with BAM 2.4.1, see Installation Prerequisites.
