While editing UDRs in bulk, there is a mode available called Auto Edit. Using this mode you can edit multiple UDRs using matchers and assignments. See Editing a Bulk of UDRs. This mode is available in Legacy Desktop only.

Special Handling When Upgrading

When upgrading to 9.1 you may need to adjust some of your configurations if you are using:

System Insight

System Insight is now using a Prometheus backend instead of InfluxDB.

To use the new version Prometheus needs to be installed, and workflows using the System Insight forwarding agent need to be updated to leverage the Prometheus forwarding agent instead.

Note that the System Insight collection agent is not replaced with a Prometheus Collection agent, as data can be retrieved directly in Prometheus instead.

Configuration Spaces

Configuration Spaces is replaced with the new Workflow Packages functionality. Before upgrading, make sure to export the configuration from inactive configuration spaces as only the active space is carried across during the upgrade process.

DTK Agents and plug-ins

If agents and/or plug-ins developed using DTK are present in the system to be upgraded, these must be:

  1. Removed from the system before upgrade

  2. Rebuilt using the MediationZone 9.1 DTK and Java 17

  3. The new, rebuilt, versions applied to the system after the upgrade has finished

Full upgrade instructions are available here: Standard Upgrade Procedure

WebService Proxy Support

If you want to use proxying in Web Service you must run the regenerateconfigs command and recreate the workflow packages that have Web Service workflows.

REST is not Supported for Conditional Trace

In this new version of Conditional Trace, REST is not supported, configurations can be done in Desktop only.

New Delivery Procedure

MediationZone is now downloadable from GitHub, and apart from the license key that is delivered separately, the link to all release deliverables can be found in the Delivery of MediationZone has been revised, see more details in the Release Information MediationZone Release Information page.

As a result of our performance testing for MediationZone 9.0 2 and using Oracle database, there is noticeable performance degradation when connecting to Oracle versions older than Oracle 19 and using Oracle JDBC drivers older than OJDBC 10. We recommend that you use the latest supported Oracle versions and Oracle JDBC drivers when using MediationZone 9.0.

Removal of Interactive Mode in MZSH

The Interactive mode has been removed from mzsh.

Invalid IPDR Workflows

When upgrading, there is a possibility that workflows with the IPDR SP agent could become invalid if they contain legacy configurations from MediationZone versions 8.1 and 8.2. This is due to an issue with compiling when the package name of the IPDR SP UDR has component names that begin with numbers. Due to the renaming of the IPDR SP UDR package names, existing workflows using these UDRs will no longer be valid. To fix the invalid workflows, you may need to reset the input in the Analysis agents that are receiving these UDRs or update the IPDR SP UDR type cast in APL code accordingly.
