not affected by performance issues.
Logging and Debugging
Automation script is available for integration to apply custom logic at various points during the processing of object structures, publish
channels, enterprise services, and invocation channels. Automation scripts are available for use immediately, without a requirement to
rebuild and redeploy Java classes, and are easier to upgrade.
Automation script for Integration
A global directory is no longer necessary for storing files for the integration framework
File Management Improvement - Integration messages are stored in to database instead of the disk drive
Find and save WSDL and schema files
Integration message - Enhancements
Technical Enhancements
Workflow module has been enhanced with new canvas technology and can be run without JRE, this new canvas is allows developer
to easily define the processes
