Resolved Issues

Customer Ticket Id	Details
42350	Fixes an issue wherein the upload/import failed for 2.13.2 version.
43038	Fixes an issue wherein user was unable to access Imaging as the Cypher queries were taking longer time to execute in a particular tenant and causing timeouts in Imaging service.
43113	Fixes an issue wherein the Module was not displayed after hiding all modules and selecting a particular module from legend.
43010	Fixes an issue wherein the Object Types, Link Types and Tags were not displayed in dropdown after adding Linked Objects.
43114	Fixes an issue wherein Imaging export was stuck while executing function “aaa_is_obj_process_init()”.
43115	Fixes an Add Linked Object issue. The Object Types list was incomplete as the query was taking only the ESCALATED type of links into account and not the CALL. Hence the AddLinked Object was missing all the direct relationships from an Object to a SubObject.
42350	Fixes an issue wherein the upload/import failed for the version 2.13.2, when the size of the exported zip file was 4.7GB.

2.17.1-funcrel

Feature Improvements

Summary	Details
UI - Highlight Path Improvements	The Highlight path now works for both Callers and Callees (previously it worked only for Callees). Now, once the Target object is selected the “Path” is highlighted without further action. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Highlight+options.
UI - Complex Transaction Enhancements	An option is provided to switch from ‘Full Call Graph’ to either ‘Simplified Call Graph’ or ‘Reduced Call Graph’. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Transactioncallgraphdisplaymodes.
UI - Admin Center - Enable/Disable ChaptGPT at Tenant level	An option is provided to Enable/Disable the ChaptGPT feature at the Tenant level. This option is disabled by default. With this option, you may select multiple applications within the selected tenant for which this feature is to be enabled. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+OpenAI+Integration#UserGuideOpenAIIntegration-EnablingChaptGPT.
Technical - Custom Aggregation limitation	CAST Imaging is now configured automatically to limit the number of nodes in a custom aggregation to 100,000 (one hundred thousand) when the custom aggregation is configured to use an existing CAST supplied aggregation (such as CAST Taxonomy, Module, Service, etc.). See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Creating+a+custom+aggregation+mode#UserGuideCreatingacustomaggregationmode-Thingstoknowaboutcustomaggregationmodes.
UI - Tags	We have added Modules/Services sections under tags in the right panel which will have the names of the Modules/Services that the objects in the view belong to. On clicking on these names, the objects belonging to those scopes will be highlighted in the view. Option to search (like tags search) is also available if user wants to search for some specific scope name. These options will be available in Objects/SubObjects level wherever applicable. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Legend+panel#UserGuideGUILegendpanel-View/Objects%3ETags.
UI - Imaging Advisor - Move to AWS	Previously for all the rules under “Move to AWS” (IBM z/OS Mainframe to Amazon EC2) only callers of the object (which satisfy the rule) were displayed. Now, for few rules callers and procedures are displayed. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+Imaging+Advisor#UserGuideGUIWelcomePageImagingAdvisor-MovetoAWS.

2.17.0-funcrel

Note

All new features and improvements added in previous 2.17.0 beta releases are also included in this release. See the corresponding release notes for more information.

Feature Improvements

Summary	Details
UI - Export View Options - Access Link Type	A new column “Access Link Type” is added to the exported CSV and XLSX reports for transactions and Data Call Graph (DCG). “Link Type” is renamed as “Link Direction”. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Export+view+options.
UI - Welcome Page - Insights improvement	A new insight type “Open-Source Safety” is added to the list of existing insights. This insight helps users to improve security by identifying third-party vulnerable components and planning an upgrade to a more secure version. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Legend+panel#UserGuideGUILegendpanel-OpenSourceSafety. You can now see all the insights by default. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Legend+panel#UserGuideGUILegendpanel-Viewinganinsight.
Technical - Imaging Advisor - New checks	Several new checks have been added for Imaging Advisor targeting a move to Amazon Web Services (AWS) for IBM z/OS Mainframe and a move to Oracle Cloud from Oracle Server on premises. To benefit from these checks, the application must contain Mainframe objects and must be re-imported into CAST Imaging. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+Imaging+Advisor#UserGuideGUIWelcomePageImagingAdvisor-checksChecksprovidedinImagingAdvisor.
UI - Layout Options - Preferred Automatic layout	In the Graph layout, the best layout will be rendered by displaying the rendered layout added with a prefix - “Automatic” and the other layout options will be available in the drop-down and same can be selected manually. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Investigate+panel#UserGuideGUIInvestigatepanel-layoutLayoutoptions.
UI - Manage Complex Transaction	For complex transactions (where the number of objects in a transaction ≥ 500), instead of displaying all objects/sub objects of a transaction, we now use principle of “Get Start & End Point” approach and provide an option to update the view to display required levels of details down to the end point. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Transaction+scope#UserGuideTransactionscope-Simplifiedcallgraph.
Technical - imagingservice.bat / imagingetl.bat changes on upgrade for Windows deployments	When upgrading from a previous release of CAST Imaging using the traditional Windows insaller (Docker installations are not impacted), the upgrade installer will upgrade the “%APPDATA%\CAST\ImagingSystem\imagingservice\imagingservice.bat” and “%APPDATA%\CAST\ImagingSystem\imagingservice\imagingetl.bat” files and create “imagingservice.json” and “imagingetl.json” files (in the same folder) containing all customizable options. As a direct result of this change, any customization that you previously made to the -LOG_LEVEL, -AUDIT_TRAIL and -LOGGER_TIMEOUT options in “imagingservice.bat” will be lost and will need to be reconfigured in the new .json files. See also https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Dealing+with+failed+to+get+graph+data+error, https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+the+audit+trail and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Reconfiguring+internal+services+to+run+on+a+custom+port.

Resolved Issues

Customer Ticket Id	Details
38609	Fixes an issue where views saved with a specific “Graph Layout” option (for example “Hierarchical”) were always reset to “Force” when the view was reopened. As a result of this fix, saved views are now set with a new “Custom” Graph layout option in order to retain the option set when the view was saved. When user visits Saved View for the first time in the graph layout it will show ‘Custom’ indicating that no layout is applied by default. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Investigate+panel#UserGuideGUIInvestigatepanel-layoutLayoutoptions.

2.17.0-beta5

New Features

Summary	Details
UI - Welcome Page - Third Party Component tile - Safer and Safest Versions columns	Two new columns have been added to the results screen for the “Third Party Components tile”, called “Safer & Closest Version” and “Safest Version”. This information provides information about which releases of the component are considered “safe” (i.e. contain less vulnerabilities than those found in the component in the application). The presence of data in these columns relies on the use of the extension com.castsoftware.highlight2mri ≥ 1.0.2-funcrel during the analysis and a new import of the application into CAST Imaging. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+Modernizing+Applications#UserGuideGUIWelcomePageModernizingApplications-ThirdPartyComponentsUpgrade/ThirdPartyComponents.

Feature Improvements

Summary	Details
UI - Internal object search	The UI for internal object search has been changed for a better user experience. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Search+for+items#UserGuideSearchforitems-currentCurrentviewsearch.
UI - Start/End Points and Call Hierarchy Enhancements	Call Hierarchy and Update Start/End Points pop up are improved and comes with a right-hand panel. The graph loads based on the parameters provided in the right panel. The UI has been updated for better user experience. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Get+Start+and+End+points+feature and https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Call+Hierarchy+feature#UserGuideUsingtheCallHierarchyfeature-Usingthefeature.
UI - Get Start and End Points - Calculate Max Depth for selected object	Clicking on Get Start and End points option from context menu will load the graph with default value of depth=1. An option to update the depths is available. Maximum depths of path is added for a selected object along with the node name details in the update Start/End Points in right panel. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Using+the+Get+Start+and+End+points+feature.
UI - Saved View improvements	The Saved views UI is improved. Now you get “GO TO SAVED VIEW” and “STAY IN THIS VIEW” options after you save a view. SAVED VIEW is now modified as UPDATED VIEW (Saved views > Graph Options > UPDATED VIEW). https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Saving+and+accessing+saved+views#UserGuideSavingandaccessingsavedviews-Savingaview.
UI - Preferences (Object Name Limit)	We now have an additional option in preferences to set the object name limit. The default value of this option would be 40, implying that if any object name is greater than 40 characters it would be trimmed on the graph with ellipses (however on hover user can see the full name). If the object name length is less than the specified value then the complete object name would be shown in the graph and if the name is long it would go to the next line in the graph for better visibility. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Configuring+display+preferences#Configuringdisplaypreferences-ObjectNamelimit.
UI - APIs Inventory (Private/Public)	You may now view different types of APIs used in the application, hence identify the APIs access and secure the application interactions. We now provide various filters on Access Types (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE) and API Types (Public/Private). See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+APIs+Inventory#UserGuideGUIWelcomePageAPIsInventory-In2.17.
UI - Right Panel - Legends	The right panel has been enhanced to show details segregated at the view level and object level. By default, view-level details are displayed (View Annotation and annotations associated with all objects in the view/Tags associated with all objects in the view/Insights) and when user selects an object, user can see object specific details in the right panel (Annotations/Tags/Source Code/Properties) In addition, the view has been completely restyled to make it more user-friendly. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Legend+panel.
UI - Third Party Components Upgrade	Children + callers/callees and communities options in the context menu are now enabled. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+GUI+-+Welcome+Page+-+Modernizing+Applications.
