Abstract
Manage 8.5.x introduce changes to Maximo Integration Framework that might affect your integration making it stop working.
If you use Kafka as your queue Manager and did not configure the Object Structure security, check the content.
Content
1) Manage 8.5 release changes the value of the property mxe.int.enableosauth to 1 and the property value will be read-only on the System Properties application.
This change is to fix the authorization bypass informed in the Security Bulletin / CVE-2022-46774
Changing the mxe.int.enableosauth property value to 1 will require that all Object Structures used by the integration have security configured.
Before proceeding with the upgrade, ensure that security is configured for all object structures. After the following change is implemented, no access is permitted except through explicitly defined security
When the security is not configured and you proceed with the upgrade all integrations fail, resulting in the error:
BMXAA9301E - The user of the transaction is not authorized for Object Structure <Object Structure name>. Configure authorization in the object structure application and grant necessary access to the user.
2) To fix performance issues in Kafka a new attribute PARTITION was created on Kafka crontask instance. After the upgrade, this attribute is required to have a value. The value is sequential and must start with 0.
For example, for the queue cqin where I have three instances, for the first instance I must use 0, the second instance value 1, and the third instance value 2.
The sequential queue must also have a partition value. The value is always 0.
