1. Updates
Keeping your products current?
We encourage all customers to run the latest versions of the Nastel products. The primary reason is to get the most value out of your Nastel products. New features and changes as well as bug fixes ensure that your Nastel products are meeting your needs. Changes in the underlying middleware, such as IBM MQ, may require updates to support them. Not sure if you are running the latest? Check out these links to the support center:
Support Matrix for Nastel AutoPilot
Support Matrix for Nastel Navigator
Support Matrix for Nastel XRay
Additionally, the release notes for all products—including full releases and monthly fix packs—can be found here.
Nastel Forum
We are always looking for ways to improve our customer experience. One item that is currently under review is the creation of a Nastel forum. You can assist us in the next steps by taking this 2-minute survey.
The first 10 customers to complete it get the satisfaction that they completed it (sorry, no other prize).
2. Popular FAQs
Upgrading Apache Tomcat shipped with AutoPilot
AutoPilot ships a version of Apache Tomcat to simplify getting started. Once installed, this version is not maintained by Nastel service updates. A configuration such as LDAP security policies or SSL can be set up for this server, and Nastel support can assist, but we cannot provide the necessary certificates or credentials.
Alternately, we support running our web applications in an application server supported by your normal support teams. With this method, you do not have to install or maintain the AutoPilot Tomcat server.
If you chose to use the sample version, in the case of security exposures, you may want to upgrade your Tomcat server. See this FAQ about the process.
How to upgrade the version of Java used by AutoPilot
Periodically you may need to update Java on the server hosting AutoPilot. In many cases, this is transparent to AutoPilot Domain, CEP, and web services. However, if you encounter problems, this document provides the steps required.
3. XRay COVID-19 Data Lake
Nastel has pulled together multiple COVID-19 datasets from CDC, Johns Hopkins University, and several others into a single interactive data lake on which you can do the following:
