In this section you can see information about the new features and functionality in this release.

Accessible Web UI

In previous versions of there have been a mix of user interfaces, both local clients and various web based interfaces. In this release we are introducing a brand-new WebUI which consolidates these interfaces into one web based interface containing functionality from the web based Sys Admin Interface, the Web Interfaces for Platform and ECs as well as the majority of the functionality from the previous local Desktop, now referred to as Legacy Desktop. The new desktop is undergoing heavy development and will continue to be developed bringing new functionality to the interface in future releases. While this user interface is being developed the original desktop, and its web based version, will continue to be available for use and will function as normal.

This new desktop will bring a new, modern look and feel to the interface and will have the advantage of not requiring any user download in order to access it, just take your pick of browser from Microsoft Edge, Chrome or Firefox. Another key benefit of this new interface is that it will be fully accessible for users using screen readers or keyboard navigation. This first release is a big step forward to comply with accessibility requirements according to WCAG 2.1 AA, with full adherence to the standard coming in a subsequent release.

Support for Subfolders

From version 9.0.1 subfolders are supported. The subfolder feature is enabled by adding and setting the property mz.subfolder.enabled to true from within the Platform.conf file. See section Subfolders in the Configuration Browser on page Build View for more information.

IPDR SP Agent

In MediationZone there is now an IPDR SP agent available for real-time workflows.

The IPDR SP agent can process UDRs with Python in real-time by defining a consume block. It also uses an Interpreter profile that is used to configure the Python executable. If you have created several Interpreter profiles, you may also set which one you want to be the default one. If this is done, you will not have to select a profile in the agent configuration, as the default profile is used by default.

The IPDR SP (Internet Protocol Detail Record Streaming Protocol) agent is used to collect IP based service usage information, performance and usage measurement of cable modems and multimedia terminal adapters.

The IPDR SP agent also comes with an IPDR SP Template profile.

The profile allows the selection of the fields present in the DOCSIS 2.0 SAMIS, DOCSIS 3.0 SAMIS-TYPE-1 and DOCSIS 3.0 SAMIS-TYPE-2 specifications. This allows the IPDR SP agent to identify the format that the agent is receiving the data in.

See IPDR SP Template Profile and IPDR SP Agent for more information.

HTTP/2 Agents Support Multiple Open API Services

Both HTTP/2 Service and Client agents are now supporting the selection of multiple Open API profiles. This can be done by selecting the Open API profiles in the agent configuration dialog.

See HTTP/2 Agents for more information.

Open API Profile Schema Allows “Additional Properties”

In the Open API profile, the “Add “additionalProperties: false” to component schemas” checkbox is added in the Advanced tab to allow the injection of the value in the schema file.

See Open API Profile for more information.
