Axway Application Studio is a rapid application-development environment for building web applications that implement business processes. It is also the application execution environment ultimately managed by information technology operations. In short, Application Studio is a Dev + Ops or DevOps environment.
The Axway Application Studio Installation Guide has information about installing and upgrading the product. See Related documentation for where to get it.
The following are new key features of Application Studio.
Application Studio has a new plugin that enables you to execute workflow processes against any number of datasets. The plugin is the Batch Process Tool. After logging on to the administration user interface, you can find it in the list of plugins at System Settings > Manage Plugins. Check the user documentation for information about using the plugin in applications.
You can apply a new Axway 5 theme to your application userviews. The theme is consistent visually with the Application Studio user interface skin and the UI skins of other Axway products.
The following are known issues in this version.
When you select to create a datalist for any application, and select the datalist's source of data as JDBC Datalist Database Binder, the Datasource drop-down list first indicates Custom Datasource, and shows parameters for a fictional example custom datasource. If you then instead select Default Datasource from the list, the displayed parameter values do not change, but the global profile values are in effect as displayed at System Settings > Datasource & Profile Settings. If desired, you can copy the settings at System Settings > Datasource & Profile Settings to the JDBC Default Datasource dialog.
If Application Studio is accessed by using a server alias configured in the local hosts file, the generation of the workflow diagram image will fail. If this occurs, access the user interface with a URL in the following format:
https://<host>/appstudio/web/login
Where <host> is the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the computer running Application Studio.
Using URLs other than the standard URL https://ip/appstudio (for example, https://ip/appstudio/web/login) fail to redirect to the load balancer in a cluster environment. Users must access the cluster via the load balancer URL.
If you are running in a cluster environment and change the File Upload Size Limit field at System Settings > General Settings on one node, restart all nodes for the change to become effective across the cluster.
MySQL database on Windows is case insensitive. MySQL database on Linux is case sensitive. To create applications in Application Studio compatible in Windows and Linux, treat all names as case sensitive.
