Examples:

Administrators use the same technology when installing many of IBMs solutions including Maximo, middleware and databases reducing training time.

Support latest version of middleware and expand browser options to include Chrome. Serviceability improvement wherein custom log messages are injected into log files for easier isolation of

a test block within the log file

Connection leak prevention improves server resiliency to long running connections. Better utilization of resources through cron task load balancing options.


Improvements to Serviceability

Message improvements

Descriptive pointing to object/attribute

LDAP mapping test to avoid null pointer exceptions

Crontask improvements

run on vs. do not run on
