Anypoint Exchange Release Notes

Anypoint Exchange is a curated catalog of reusable assets such as APIs, policies, API spec fragments, API groups, templates, examples, custom assets, and integration assets such as connectors. You can catalog (publish), share, discover, learn about, and reuse assets within your organization to facilitate collaboration, boost productivity, and promote standards.

What’s New

April 2024

What’s New

App developers can now view GraphQL schemas and write, run, and test GraphQL APIs using the GraphQL console from the asset details page. For more information, see exchange::view-graphql-api-schemas-and-run-queries.adoc.

February 2024

What’s New

You can now see the compatible Java versions for a connector by clicking View version in the asset details page.

October 2023

What’s New

You can now find and discover assets using the Custom field filter in the enhanced search experience. For more information about the custom field filter, see Filter By Custom Fields^.

July 2023

What’s New

Exchange now provides asset usage and engagement metrics for administrators and asset owners to gain insight into the consumption and user engagement of their API specification fragments and REST APIs. The usage metrics measure how many times those assets are downloaded from Exchange, imported from API Designer, imported from Anypoint Studio, and the number of dependents and contracts for the asset. The asset engagement score is a composite metric that administrators and asset owners can use to measure the usage of the assets in Exchange.

May 2023

What’s New

The assets details page lets you find specific information within the API specification and pages of an asset using the CTRL+F or the command+F keyboard shortcut. In Exchange, this enhanced shortcut overrides the native browser shortcut, which searches only for words and phrases on the current page.

April 2023

What’s New

Exchange now includes the following RPA template asset types:

  • RPA Activity templates

    Activity templates are reusable code within RPA to standardize the most used activity steps and make them available to other developers in the organization. These templates are .cawl files that are imported in the RPA Activity library for developers to use as part of their RPA processes.

  • RPA Process templates

    Templates for RPA processes are imported into RPA Builder as projects and are customizable before deploying to RPA bots. Process templates are built on common patterns for RPA to build automation faster. These templates are .crpa files that are exported from RPA Builder to share with other developers.

February 2023

What’s New

  • The enhanced search is now the default search experience for users logging into Exchange.

    Using the enhanced experience, you can:

    • Filter assets by type, organization, category, tag, and lifecycle state

    • See which API Spec properties and page text matched the search term

    • Save shortcuts to filters you have applied

    • Sort search results by relevance, name, last modified date, or rating
      For more details about the enhanced search, see Search for Assets^.

      The legacy search experience is still available by clicking Back to legacy search from the Exchange landing page.

January 2023

What’s New

  • The documentation now uses more inclusive language.

  • The product now uses more inclusive language.

  • Exchange now includes the GraphQL API asset type.

    A GraphQL API allows a client to fetch only the object types and fields needed instead of fetching a fixed response like in a REST API.

August 2022

What’s New

  • Added information messages when trying to create a page with an invalid name in the Asset Detail Page to explain why the validation failed and how the user can make the page name valid. (EXC-3041)

Fixed in this Release

  • If the user selects the API is behind firewall option, navigates away, and returns, the selection is now remembered. (EXC-3335)

Error message changed from "Asset already exists. Choose another asset name or version." to "There is a deleted asset with the same version number. Try creating your new asset with a higher version number." (EXC-2484)

  • Validate that a published WSDL has either a WSDL file or a URL for a WSDL file, and not both. (EXC-2354)

February 2019

New Features

  • Maven Facade now returns user-friendly and relevant error message text and code when internal services fail to validate a Mule asset. (EXC-2911)

New State and Flow Transition of an Artifact

To address the movement of an artifact across a hierarchical structure, Exchange now provides new states for an artifact and also specific actions to be performed on them.

Business Groups

Business Groups are being incorporated in Exchange . This feature across with the Exchange Roles and the new state transition flow of an artifact provides:

  • Ability of Central IT (maybe the root organization) to create artifacts and make them available to all Lines of Businesses (business groups)

  • Ability of Central IT to locate artifacts published in a business group and make it available to the rest of the business

  • Ability of an LOB to publish artifacts for internal (to that business group) consumption

UI and UX Improvements

New Filters and actions now support the new Business Groups, Artifacts States, and Transition Flows functionalities.

Edit Types Removal

API Changes

Before this release, Exchange used an internal Organization ID in the API resource, but this organization ID is replaced with the Access Management Organization ID to allow Business Groups. New endpoints are being incorporated in Exchange to work with Business Groups. New permissions are applied using the Business Groups hierarchy.

Avoid Losing User Data

When a session expires, Exchange prompts for credentials and completes the action. Exchange now displays a warning when a user tries to leave the edit page if there are unsaved changes.
