Progress® Corticon® 6.2 included the following changes and new features:

  • Web Console server self-registration—New in 6.2 is the ability to have Corticon Servers automatically register with the Corticon web-console. This eliminates the need to manually add Servers to the Web Console and better supports deployments where Servers have dynamic IP addresses or are started or stopped to meet elastic demands.
  • Web Console context—In 6.2 the Web Console was enhanced to preserve the display context of tables on page refresh or redisplay. The context includes the page of data displayed in a table, state of what is expanded or collapsed, sort order, and more.
  • Command line report generation—New in 6.2 is the ability to generate rule asset reports with command line utilities. This allows you to integrate report generation with your CI/CD practices.
  • Simplified datasource selection—In Corticon Studio when configuring a datasource, the database server selection is no longer version-specific. For example, where you previously chose from Microsoft SQL Server 2012 through 2019, you now choose just Microsoft SQL Server. This change allows Corticon to certify new database versions as they are certified by Progress Data Direct without the need to re-release Corticon. This change is automatically applied when you upgrade assets after the product upgrade. The configuration file for deployment will be updated; however, previously generated configuration files in deployment need to be regenerated or manually adjusted to work with updated deployments.
  • Simplified ADC and REST datasource configuration—In Corticon Studio the Corticon REST and ADC datasource jars are automatically available to your project. You no longer need to add the jars as project extensions. The process to upgrade assets that had explicit specifications of these JARs will not have those references removed. You will see warnings after upgrading a project. The condition is benign. The files can be removed from the Corticon Extensions section of the Project properties. However, the packaging and testing techniques in Studio will ignore the listed JARs.
  • Support for Java 11—Corticon Server and Corticon Web Console have been certified on Java 8 and 11. Oracle JDK 8 is bundled with Corticon Server.
  • Bundled REST API documentation—The Corticon REST API is available in Java Server's install directory for Java and .NET (but not propagated to the IIS Server). This provides an alternative to the Swagger REST API documentation bundled with Corticon Server for Java, The REST API documentation is also available online at https://documentation.progress.com/output/Corticon/6.2.0/RESTDoc/.
  • Removal of Support for OpenAccess 8.0 for OpenEdge—Corticon support for OpenAccess 8.0 for OpenEdge is removed in this release. OpenAccess for OpenEdge was a database server option for Corticon EDC and ADC. Open Access 8.0 for OpenEdge is retired and no longer supported by Progress.
