Upgrade Notes

Tasktop Integration Hub Upgrade Notes

Tasktop Integration Hub

  • 129935: The underlying application server used by Keycloak for User Management has changed from JBoss/Wildfly to Quarkus.

    • We recommend reviewing any customizations made to the tasktop-hub.properties file. The following properties are no longer used and should be deleted:
      • jboss.mail.smtp.port
      • jboss.txn.status.manager.port
      • jboss.txn.recovery.environment.port
      • jboss.management.https.port
      • jboss.management.http.port
      • jboss.ajp.port

      The following properties have been renamed:
      • jboss.http.port -> keycloak.http.port
      • jboss.https.port -> keycloak.https.port
      • jboss.server.data.dir -> keycloak.server.data.dir
      • jboss.java.memory -> keycloak.java.memory
      • jboss.custom.system.properties -> keycloak.custom.system.properties

      While the old JBoss-prefixed names will continue to be used by Tasktop, they are deprecated and may be removed in a future release.

      For more information, refer to the Tasktop Hub user guide.

Connector-Specific Upgrade Notes

Atlassian Jira

  • 129302: If the "Active Or Future Sprint" or "Sprint(s)" fields are mapped with some of the options belonging to boards located under a Jira user, they will need to be unmapped as sprints belonging to a user board are no longer allowed.

Planview AdaptiveWork

  • 129739: Upgrade Steps:
    1. Stop your AdaptiveWork integration(s)
    2. Stop Hub
    3. Backup the Hub database
    4. Install/deploy the Hub version with the connector/Hub change
    5. Remove Ancestor Program mapped on AdaptiveWork collections if Program relationship is not required to synchronize over
    6. Remove your existing Artifact Routing(s) on a AdaptiveWork Task or Milestone integration
    7. Update the Artifact Routing configuration for the applicable AdaptiveWork integrations to the correct location based on the above instructions
    8. Restart your integration(s)
    Configuration Change Details:

    • If any of your AdaptiveWork integrations include Tasks or Milestones and have an Artifact Routing using No Parent or Program options on Milestones, you will need to make the following configuration change:

      • For both types:

        • CollectionName/No Parent/No Parent → Remove existing routing and remap the AdaptiveWork routing to the top level(CollectionName)
        • CollectionName/No Parent/ProjectA → Remove existing routing and remap the AdaptiveWork routing to the CollectionName/ProjectA
      • For Milestones only: Program level container will not be visible on routing UI for a Milestone.
        • CollectionName/ProgramA/ProjectUnderA → Remove existing routing and remap the AW routing to the CollectionName/ProjectUnderA

Tricentis Tosca

  • 131392: If your Tosca integration is using the CreatedAt, ModifiedAt or EndTime String fields, you must reconfigure your collection field mapping to map them them as Date Time fields.
