New Features and Enhancements
Introducing Data Purge Policy in APPSeCONNECT - For Cloud Storage Optimization
Data Purge Policy is a vital feature for APPSeCONNECT which will give full governance to the users for maintaining storage of runtime data, viz. transactional logs, process log for a defined time interval.
This will optimize the better utilization of resources in your environment, thereby allowing lesser footprints on the environment you maintain as well as ours. Thus the local, as well as cloud storage of APPSeCONNECT Agent is optimized for better resource utilization
Key features that optimizes storage

Data retention policy automatically removes old data which are more than 15 days old, helping the user to concentrate only on newer application transactions.
-
This will reduce overall data usage and considerably improve performance.

In On-Premise Agent, data compression technique will allow logs to be even smaller in size.

Daily notification system is available to indicate Clean up job execution. The notification can be viewed from Feeds section of APPSeCONNECT Portal.

to track specific attributes related to the sync process.
- Tracking Data user interface has gone robust with the new ADD and DELETE ALL button for easy usability of this feature.
Autosync Scheduling for failed data in Resync Bucket in Cloud Agent
APPSeCONNECT users will now be able to attempt the Resync of the failed data automatically through Autosync mechanism.

Autosync of Resync will be implemented in both the agents.
