Summary of the Releases
| Release | Summary |
|---|---|
| 26.2 | New Amazon Web Services Native Connector (AWS Cognito Identity Provider), new certificate management UI (upload, detail view, expiration reminders), Agentic Assistant for Connector Management powered by M42 Neo, Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector REST API v2 and v3 support, connector service reliability improvements, and several bug fixes. |
Major and Minor Releases Explained
Connector Management follows a continuous delivery model.
- A major release (for example, 26.1) consists of functionality built after the previous major release (for example, 25.3)
- Minor releases are delivered monthly and may already include parts of functionality that later also appear in the next major release
This means:
- Some features associated with a major release may be delivered earlier in minor releases
- Conversely, a major release includes all functionality delivered in its preceding minor releases
The roadmap therefore reflects when functionality becomes available within a time window, not a single fixed release moment.

New Features
| ID | Item | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 549343 | Certificate upload UI | Added a user interface for uploading certificates directly within the Connector Management administration view. |
| 565012 | New Amazon Web Services Native Connector | Added the Amazon Web Services Native Connector for Connector Management, integrating with AWS Cognito Identity Provider. The connector supports both scheduled data extraction from Cognito User Pools and event-based provisioning, creating and updating users in a Cognito User Pool when triggered by a Connector Management workflow event. |
| 580401 | Certificate detail view and download | Added the ability to view detailed certificate information and download certificates directly from the Connector Management administration view. |
| 580433 | Certificate expiration reminders | Introduced configurable certificate expiration reminders for Connector Management certificates. Administrators can define reminder schedules and notification templates to receive advance notice before a certificate expires. |
| 590317 | M42 Neo in Agentic Assistant for Connector Management | Introduced M42 Neo powered Agentic Assistant for Connector Management in the administration view. With Agentic Assistant for Connector Management, administrators can ask natural language questions about connectors and tasks, for example, to investigate why a scheduled task run failed. |
Improvements
| ID | Item | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 555539 | Improved scheduled HR connector script | Delivered an new improved HR-Connector-scheduled.py script as the foundation for HR data integrations. Improvements include: support for the Location object template; configurable optional delimiter type "csv_field_delimiter" for data files; fixed delta (partial) run behavior when no data changes are detected; improved logging output; suppressed unnecessary error logs when the update limit override is disabled; and graceful handling of CSV rows missing a unique ID value. |
| 562296 | Connector import duplicate detection | Improved the connector import process to detect when an imported connector already exists in the environment and inform the user accordingly, preventing unexpected naming behavior. |
| 568007 | Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector: REST API v2 and v3 support | Added support for REST API v2 and v3 in the Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector. Both v2 and v3 endpoints are now supported, resolving field format incompatibilities that prevented ticket creation in Jira Cloud environments. When v3 is active, the description and environment fields are sent in Atlassian Document Format (ADF), review existing field mappings if they use plain text in these fields. |
| 573693 | Improved connector status accuracy | Improved connector status display accuracy. The status now correctly shows Failed when any scheduled task has failed, even when other tasks are still running. And displays the appropriate message when no task execution history exists. |
| 576544 | Improved data pump logging for mapping failures | Enhanced diagnostic logging for data pump export failures caused by attribute mapping issues. Offending rows are now logged with full detail at ERROR level, and the raw ESM response is logged at DEBUG level, making root-cause diagnosis possible without manual troubleshooting. |
| 581812 | Clear cache scheduling tooltip improvement | Updated the tooltip for the Clear Cache Scheduling option to accurately describe its function: defining whether and when a task's internal cache should be cleared. |
| 582618 | Increased connector service memory allocation | Increased the memory allocation for the Connector Management master service container from 512 MB to 1024 MB to prevent out-of-memory terminations in high-load environments. |
| 584769 | Event task close button alignment | Fixed the positioning of the close button on event task configuration panels to match the layout used in scheduled task panels. |
| 584775 | Connector service stability improvements | Investigated and applied targeted resource optimizations to the Connector Management master service to reduce the frequency of out-of-memory terminations across affected environments. |
| 584788 | Task mapping type component visual improvement | Improved the visual presentation of task mapping type components. Before overrides are enabled, the current field value is now displayed without edit indicators, making the configuration state easier to read. |
| 586747 | Connector unique ID multi-attribute mapping | Enhanced the connector unique ID feature to support mapping multiple source attributes to a single unique ID field. When the Set value for deleted objects option is enabled, the system validates that at least one mapped attribute is marked as unique in the target ESM template. |
| 594158 | Connector navigation UI upgrade | Upgraded the navigation interface in the Connector Management administration view for a more consistent and modern user experience. |
Bug Fixes
| ID | Item | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 561253 | JSONPath mapping with spaces | Fixed an issue where attribute mappings using JSONPath expressions containing spaces failed to evaluate correctly. |
| 580660 | Configuration label tooltips missing | Fixed missing tooltips on configuration labels in the connector settings interface. |
| 581219 | Connector list tab filtering and styling | Fixed connector list tab filtering behavior and resolved styling inconsistencies in the connector list view, including the create and delete connector actions. |
| 582730 | Deleted object marking cache issue | Fixed a cache-related issue that caused incorrect behavior when marking objects as deleted during connector synchronization. |
| 584148 | Data pump process freezing | Fixed an issue causing the data pump process to freeze during connector task execution. |
| 584244 | Active Directory connector export failure | Fixed an issue where the Active Directory connector failed to export user query results during scheduled task execution. |
| 584255 | Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector: assignee not set in v3 | Fixed an issue where ticket assignees were not set in the Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector when using REST API v3. The connector now sends the user's accountId as required by the API, instead of the display name. |
| 584559 | Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector: custom field mapping failures | Fixed an issue where custom field mappings in the Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector failed for option-type and array-type fields, causing provisioning errors. |
| 586840 | Python script connector, event task example script : pysftp import failure | Fixed a failure in the generic Python script connectors event task example script when importing the pysftp library. Also corrected an incorrect input line count reported during script execution. |
| 587569 | Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector: issue type resolution across projects | Fixed an issue where issue type resolution in the Atlassian Jira Cloud native connector was incorrect when configured across multiple Jira projects, leading to provisioning failures. |
| 592915 | Connector status indicator incorrect | Fixed an issue causing the connector status indicator to display an incorrect state. |
