 # OpCon Release Notes
 
+
+## Fall 24
+
+**NOTE**: Verify/Upgrade these components if applicable: **ServiceNow** Connector – 21.4 or higher, **WebServices** Connector – 21.2 or higher, **Deploy** – 22.4 or higher, **Relay** - 24.1 or higher
+
+2024 November
+
+#### Server
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **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.
+
+:white_check_mark: **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.
+
+:white_check_mark: **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.
+
+:white_check_mark: **OPCON-25773**: Resolved an issue which could prevent NetCom from properly tracking running ACS jobs following an unexpected shutdown.
+
+:white_check_mark: **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.
+
+:white_check_mark: **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.
+
+:white_check_mark: **OPCON-25861**: Fixed an issue where interactive requests from OpCon to the agents (such as job output retrieval) were not getting processed for relays that do not use any ACS integrations. 
+
+#### Solution Manager
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **OPCON-24678**: Added the ability to report on user behavior within Solution Manager. This addition will help SMA determine which features are most valuable to our current customers.
+
+2024 October
+
+#### Server
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **OPCON-23985**: The following capabilities were added to Relay:
+1) Support for MFT Job Scheduling and JORS
+2) Interactive MFT machine and Job definition through SM
+3) Interactive SAP Job import and definition through SM
+4) Interactive zOS JCL View/Save through SM
+5) Improved performance by using WebSocket for communication between Relay and OpCon-Cloud
+6) Communication between Relay and OpCon-Cloud restricted to TLS 1.2 and up
+7) Allow multi instance relay installation on a machine
+
+:white_check_mark: **OPCON-24483**: Modified NetcommApi to handle database disconnects. It now keeps retrying connection to database. As soon as database becomes available again, processing will automatically resume.
+
+:white_check_mark: **OPCON-25117**: OpCon wasn't resolving references to embedded scripts or batch users in the ACS integration agent config at agent start time.
+
+#### Solution Manager
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **OPCON-23662**: Accessibility support has been added to the main navigation, and the following Solution Manager pages: Home, Library, Calendars, Global Properties, License & Support, Logs, Frequencies, Access Codes, Departments, Site Navigation, Login, Resources, Machine Groups, Reporting, Scripts, Server Options, Thresholds, Profile, Escalation Manager, and Access Management to support WCAG accessibility standards.
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **OPCON-24004**: Added an information icon for Otto that explains skills and capabilities.
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **OPCON-24677**: Formatted Otto's responses for better readability.

+
+#### REST API
+
+:eight_spoked_asterisk: **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.
