OpCon Release Notes
ResourceMonitor
21.1.0
Bug Fix
✅ Log-archive retention now respects the INI file: The ArchiveDaysToKeep setting configured in the INI file is now applied correctly at service startup. In prior releases this value was ignored and the default retention was used instead.
21.0.0
FIPS Compliance & .NET Framework 4.8.1
✳️ ResourceMonitor has been updated to be FIPS-compliant and now runs on .NET Framework 4.8.1. Both the service and the UI have been rebuilt against the latest FIPS-compliant SMA libraries, and the installer automatically deploys the .NET Framework 4.8.1 runtime as a prerequisite where it is not already present.
Other Improvements
✳️ Service startup and logging-initialization errors are now written to the Windows Event Log, making installation and configuration issues easier to diagnose.
✳️ Improved service responsiveness and a cleaner, faster service shutdown.

ImpEx2 Web Service
✳️ OPCON-25933: Made enhancements to Windows and Unix job import to support splitting Deploy script and schedule / package deployments. Import routines need to check local OpCon database for script information (script, scripttype, runner ids) as the script information is no longer part of the OpConExtract object.
✅ OPCON-25144: Fixed a problem when importing schedule definitions that contain multiple roles and the role names have been transformed to the same name causing a duplicate key violation. Fix ensures that duplicate roles and no longer inserted.

2024 November
Server
✳️ OPCON-24433: Added support for ACS plugins in Relay. Users can now define their on-prem ACS Agent machines in OpCon-Cloud and run jobs on those without requiring a VPN.
✅ OPCON-24987: Fixed an issue in RequestRouter which was causing the request processing to get stuck. Any bad requests in the table will now be marked as processed and cleaned up if RequestRouter is not able to process them, it will then move on to process the next request instead of getting stuck at the bad entry.
✅ OPCON-25076: Added active ping mechanism in Relay to periodically check validity of its WebSocket connection with OpCon-Cloud. This will eliminate issues encountered because of lost socket connections that did not raise events to notify Relay that the connection has been closed.
✅ OPCON-25773: Resolved an issue which could prevent NetCom from properly tracking running ACS jobs following an unexpected shutdown.
✅ OPCON-25774: RequestRouter is coded to cleanup only expired processed requests. If a request was bad and RequestRouter could not process it, it would be left in the table as unprocessed. A fix in OPCON-24987 modifies this logic to mark the bad requests as processed and clean them up.
✅ OPCON-25802: Fixed an issue in Relay and Netcom where the JORS request was picked up by incorrect Netcom or Relay. All Jors request are now routed to the correct Relay or Netcom on which the requesting machine is configured.

REST API
✳️ OPCON-25012: The OpCon API now returns HSTS headers (strict-transport-security) for HTTPS responses, which makes it impossible for your browser to attempt an HTTP connection with the API (forces HTTPS connections), and hence prevents an HSTS vulnerability.
