Micro Focus is announcing the release of

Product: Micro Focus Operations Agent

Languages: English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish

The following key new features are available with this version:

  • Micro Focus Operations Agent and Infrastructure SPI 12.06 contains the Pull Based Certificate and Policy Configuration capability and additional important enhancements and select defect fixes details of which is listed below.  

    Pull Based Certificate and Policy Configuration

    • The Pull based Certificate and Policy Configuration capability, enables Certificate and Policy configuration on Micro Focus Operations Agents (OA), which have only an outbound communication with the Micro Focus Operations Bridge Manager (OBM) Server.
    • The Operations Agent when configured to operate in the “PULL” mode, works with the OBM server, to pull the Certificates, Policies and associated artifacts like Instrumentation and Parameters, over an outbound connection to the OBM server.  This obviates the need to use an RCP (the OA Reverse Channel Proxy Component) and enables seamless communication between OA and OBM.
    • This enhancement is particularly useful for a Hybrid, Cloud and On-Prem, deployment scenario, where outbound only communication is a norm.
    • The Pull based Certificate configuration is supported by a new, token based, automated Certificate exchange capability that also makes the automation of setting up secure communication easier.

    OA Health View authentication enhancement.

    • The Health View component of OA enables centralized and simple monitoring of Operations Agents in a monitored environment. The enhancement to Health View authentication, now enables users across multiple OUs, in OpenLDAP or Microsoft AD to login to the application. The original restriction, that enforced log-in users to be in the same OU as the bind user, is now removed
