New Features/Enhancements

This release contains the following new features and enhancements:

Device Count: On the Device Manager > Groups page, a Device Count column has been added to the table. The number in this column will link you to the Device page and display a list of only those devices in the group.

Deployment Status on Dashboard: The Edge Manager Dashboard now lists the last five deployments for each status (Upcoming, Active and Completed).

Redeploy Failed Packages: The ability to redeploy failed package deployments has been added to the Deployments tab on the Operations page.See Redeploy Failed Packages.

Retry Deployment on Timeout: When deploying a package, the Retries field will also apply to instances when the package deployment times out. See Package Deployment.

Certificate Expiry Filters

Two new Global Device Filters have been added:

Certificate Expiration Due (Days) – how long until a device’s certificate expires
Certificate Expired (Days) – how long it has been since the device’s certificate expired

Location Filters

Three new filters have been added to Edge Manager's Global Device Filters:

New Fields Added to Device Summary

Two new fields have been added to the Device Summary page:

Certificate Status – displays the current status of the selected device’s certificate. The options are Unknown, Valid, Pending Renewal and Expired.
Certificate Expires – Displays the date and time when the device’s certificate will expire.

Active Directory Integration

It is now possible to integrate Predix Edge Manager with your IDP using SAML.

This release contains the following bug fixes:

Link to Output for Executed Commands: The ability to view output from executed commands is now available from the Commands tab on the Operations page. Click the name of an executed command. If output is available for the command execution you will be able to either view or download it from the link in the Output column.

Errors When Deploying Intelligent Data Pump: Resolved an issue that would result in an "invalid signature" error when deploying the intelligent data pump to Edge devices.

This release has the following known issues:

No link for edited configurations: After deploying an edited configuration to a device, a link for the operation details is not created. All other deployments result in a link to the operation details being provided.
Execution time does not get updated: When you update a Docker container, the Execution Time in the Deployment Schedule does not get updated in Edge Manager. However, Start and End times are updated and displayed correctly.
Time for operations displayed differently: Operations start, execution start, and elapsed time display differently for the top level versus operation details when there is only one operation. This is due to how the summary is calculated versus how the operation detail is calculated.
Software and configuration packages sometimes need to be re-deployed: If a device is placed in inventory but not enrolled, and software or configuration packages are sent to that device, and one of the Edge Manager services fails and needs to be restarted, then those software or configuration packages may need to be redeployed to that device.
Cannot delete groups with large number of devices: There is a known issue with deleting a group with a large number (over 5,000) of devices. Do not create such large groups, or move devices incrementally out of large groups so you can delete the group.
