Earlier this week IBM released version 1.0.0.4 of the PureApplication pattern types for WebSphere Application Server. To be more precise, IBM released 3 new pattern types which can be downloaded free of charge from the links below:
- WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 1.0.0.4 pattern type
- WebSphere Application Server Base 1.0.0.4 pattern type
- WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core 1.0.0.4 pattern type
These new pattern types include fixes for a number of issues listed further down. However the WebSphere ND pattern type in particular addresses two key concerns from clients:
- Cell and Node name improvements: Ability to specify who the cell and node name is formed. You can now chose to no longer automatically have a uuid appended to the cell name or node name.
- Improved custom node federation process: You can now create a pattern that just contains a custom node and deploy to an existing deployment manager
The documentation can be found here in the Knowledge Center. Finally here is a list of issues that has also been fixed in this new pattern release:
- Deployments fail when invalid characters are used for password fields
