What's new?

• A New Service Principal UI will issue a security identity for working with Azure native tools on the data stored in MindSphere Europe 2 based Integrated Data Lake

• Integrated Data Lake is now available on EU2 platform. It allows the following set of capabilities :

  • Store structured and unstructured data in its native format until it is needed.

  • Ability to import time series data from the MindSphere IoT Data Store.

  • Generate signed URLs to upload, update or download objects/files.

  • Ability to delete objects/files from the Integrated Data Lake.

  • Add, update and delete metadata tags for objects/files.

  • Subscribe to event notifications using REST calls.

Known Issues

• When uploading Event Based Data Upload or Data Upload package to MindConnect Nano device and there are no enabled input signals within the Analysis Package configuration, the update ends in error state "Prepare Environment or Update/Start Configuration". Having critical error message in User Logs.

• Note: A full configured monitoring of the Analyzing Packages Vibration Characteristic Values and Vibration Frequency Spectra with all channels of one SM1281 can exceed the CPU performance of the MindConnect Nano. Also in other scenarios dependent of tasks running in parallel on the MindConnect Nano, CPU load can get to high. The Recommendation is to use only two full configured Vibration Frequency Spectra Analyzing Packages in parallel.

• If remote operations in MindConnect Edge Analytics application reacts very slow: Please delete the MindConnect asset and create a new agent.

Known Issues

• Applications can use the subtenant functionality via the provided APIs. Tenant administrators should pay attention when assigning such apps to subtenant users, as subtenant isolation cannot be ensured by the platform. The app may also expose data to the user that is not intended to be seen.

• When moving an asset from a parent tenant to a subtenant, there may be a delay of up to 30 minutes until a subtenant user will be able to see data related to that asset.

• Please be aware if you provide a user (even subtenant user) with the role "mdsp:core:TenantAdmin", this user is then able to get access to all types of tenant data.
