Smart, smarter, Axon.ivy Digital Business Platform
Our new Engine Cockpit has now become a mighty successor of the AdminUI with a rich feature set. It's completely based on web technologies and simply open in your favorite browser or even on mobile devices.
Configuration: System and app configurations can be reviewed and modified effectively.
Administration: Manage your security systems in the cockpit. Add Users, change roles, edit properties, all can be done with the new security tools.
External Services: Database, SOAP or REST web services used by the engine can be viewed, configured and even tested right within the Cockpit. Additionally, you can see your running elastic search server and run queries against it.
License: The Engine license can be updated in the Cockpit. Once your license is near its end of life, administrators can initiate the renewal process right out of the Cockpit.
Monitoring: A new expressive view allows to examine recent logs and offers an export functionality to download them as ZIP files. As a result, file access to the Engine is no longer necessary and data collection becomes very easy.
Applications: Simply manage your running Applications on the Cockpit. Start, stop, release and other actions are possible. Even the deployment of *.iar or *.zip files can be done directly over the web.
System: Managing your administrators or system database has never been never easier! You need to migrate your system database? Do it right from the Cockpit.
More: The Cockpit can do much, much more. Please give it a try!
With the new theme and the introduction of the Engine Cockpit, the Engine Config UI doesn't really fit in our product toolset any longer. Because of that, we decided to reengineer this initial setup as a new Setup Wizard.
yaml files, the new wizard saves your settings correctly.
We re-styled the Portal application completely and implemented a lot of new features.
Running the Axon.ivy Engine in an isolated container has become a lot easier.
This means that the barriers between Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift and all other container orchestration platforms have been broken down!
The Axon.ivy Engine is now available as a Debian package. Now Engine operators can benefit from the rich tooling on the preferred platform of most cloud providers.
Successfully deploying your application in your customers environment is now easier than ever. The days of manual installations and the related chatty documentation are over!

YAML files. Now it is very easy to document the whole truth about the current engine environment within an ivy.yaml file.ivy.yaml file as your system documentation.We believe that highly automated deployments are important. Customers should be able to use the latest features instantly. While developers and operations need a high confidence about the proper execution of their runtime artifacts.
That's why we extended our deployment interface:
deploy directory and it will be rolled-out.We updated the platform of the Designer in order to bring even more fun and productivity into your daily work. Stay ahead!
F3-Button or Ctrl + click to jump instantly to a resource.
Run the Axon.ivy Designer with the operating system you know and love most.
We made the latest Axon.ivy Designer much more flexible, so that it serves best for your development needs.
The tooling to call remote Web Services has been completely re-worked and is more powerful than ever.
Customizing a task and case list based on process data is easier than ever before. Put data in the custom field store of the task or case and it becomes automatically searchable. In addition, it can also be helpful for workflow process reporting.
TaskQuery and CaseQuery API to filter, aggregate and order by custom fields.STRING, TEXT, NUMBER and TIMESTAMP.TaskQuery.create().where()
.customField().stringField("branchOffice").isEqual("Zug")
.and()
.customField().numberField("creditLimit").isGreaterThan(10_000);
Legacy Support: Forget the additional properties, the limited old custom fields, the strange business fields and the legacy categorization. You don't need them anymore. But we are fully backward compatible. All legacy API calls will be mapped to custom fields. All inscribed inscriptions in your project will automatically be converted.
Axon.ivy now runs with Java 11. Which is the most recent LTS runtime for Java.
var and make use of modern libraries built upon Java 11.
