New features and enhancements

Support for new EUS-specific custom resource (or operand) versions and licenses

IBM App Connect Operator 1.1.10 provides a fully qualified 11.0.0.18-r1-eus version for the App Connect Dashboard, App Connect Designer Authoring, App Connect Switch Server, and App Connect Integration Server custom resources (or operands).

To create an instance or upgrade to a 1.1.10-specific version of a custom resource, you must choose both of these options:

  • Subscribe to the existing 11.0.0-eus or new 11.0.0.18-eus channel for custom resources, or specify a fully qualified version of 11.0.0.18-r1-eus.
  • Select a 1.1.10 EUS license for approval.

To qualify for Extended Update Support, the IBM App Connect Operator and any deployed custom resource instances must all be at an EUS level. Additionally, the following dependencies, which are installed with the IBM App Connect Operator, must be at these supported versions:

  • Operator for Apache CouchDB: version 1.4.x, 2.0.x, or later

    For new installations of the IBM App Connect Operator, CouchDB 2.0.x or later is automatically provided. If upgrading the IBM App Connect Operator and existing App Connect Dashboard, App Connect Designer, switch server, and integration server instances, ensure that CouchDB is upgraded to a supported version, as listed at Operator for Apache CouchDB compatibility with the IBM App Connect operands.

  • IBM Cloud Platform Common Services Operator 3.6.2 or later 3.6.x versions, or the later renamed IBM Cloud Pak foundational services Operator 3.19.x

    For new installations of the IBM App Connect Operator, IBM Cloud Pak foundational services 3.19.x is automatically provided. If upgrading from IBM App Connect Operator 1.1.9 or earlier, you can retain your IBM Cloud Platform Common Services Operator 3.6.x or upgrade to IBM Cloud Pak foundational services 3.19.x.
