There are some limitations and it is highly recommended you read through the documentation prior to starting the migration process. Learn More
Multi-tenancy for Analytics Builder
Significantly reduce hosting costs for self-hosted environments by executing Analytics Builder models from sub-tenants within a single, shared microservice running on the parent tenant.
OEE Block for Analytics Builder
Measure manufacturing effectiveness efficiently with the new Overall Equipment Effectiveness calculation block. This open-source addition streamlines analysis of availability, performance, and quality metrics within your production processes. Learn More
Various Improvements to Streaming Analytics
Key updates include new alarms for dropped events, improved parameter naming and documentation, enhanced property extraction, and UI refinements such as breadcrumbs and better toolbar behavior. Additional features include new EPL actions, expanded expression capabilities, and improved event handling, all contributing to a more powerful and user-friendly analytics experience.
User Experience enhancements for Cumulocity DataHub - Enhancements to the DataHub Home Page providing an at a glance a view of what pipelines DataHub is running and how the system is performing. Enhancements to the additional column interface make it easier to enhance your offloading pipeline by for example visually expanding struct data.
Security and Platform Services
Certificate Revocation List
Certificate management has been improved with comprehensive revocation capabilities. As part of the certificate validation during device authentication a check is done to ensure the certificate is still valid. If the revoked certificate information is maintained by the issuing Certificate Authority (CA), the online check option can be selected. If the CA does not maintain the CRL information, the offline setup can be selected. Learn More
Enhanced Password Security - Strengthen your security posture with improvements to password management. Administrators can no longer reset passwords directly but instead can force password resets or disable accounts as needed. Learn More
Expanded X.509 Certificate Support
Connect devices via HTTP and LwM2M using X.509 certificates, not just MQTT, with improved certificate chain handling for broader compatibility.
For Developers
Web SDK Improvements
Benefit from semantic versioning and transition to the standard Angular CLI (ng-cli), aligning with industry standards for a more efficient development experience. Learn More
Microservice SDK Update
Enhanced developer experience with Spring Boot 3.3.x, offering improved security, future-proof compatibility, and better support for cloud-native environments. Learn More
