Changes in behavior

This topic describes the changes introduced in this version of TotalAgility.

Microsoft Azure Active Directory renamed to Microsoft Entra ID

As of July 2023, Microsoft Azure Active Directory is renamed to Microsoft Entra ID. All UI instances of Microsoft Azure Active Directory in TotalAgility are changed to Microsoft Entra ID.

Job archiving does not use MSDTC

Job archiving no longer uses a single distributed transaction; it uses multiple local transactions and therefore does not require MSDTC.

If one of the transactions fails due to the TotalAgility server or database going offline, the job remains in an Archiving status, and no actions are performed on it. The retry of the Archive worker task then cleans up the data so the job only exists in the Archive database.

The same happens for an archived job that is restarted and moved back from Archive database to Main database. This is done in an asynchronous way via a worker task, the job remains in a new De-Archiving status during this move. No actions can be performed on it until the move is completed. Also, if anything fails due to the TotalAgility server or database going offline during this job move, it is cleaned up when the worker task is retried.

Events disabled for Dynamics 365 CRM online

Dynamics 365 CRM Online does not support configuring events.

Access to the local watch folder denied

In previous releases, users were able to access the local watch folder configured in Message Connector Configuration by default. With Message Connector 8.0, access to the local watch folder is denied to avoid security vulnerabilities.

To enable access, remove the '[Deny]' attribute from the Folder input base directory box under Security options in Message Connector Configuration.
