IBM Maximo Application Suite - Predict Component release 9.2 FC

Content

1. Bug Fixes

• Fixed intermittent service startup issues observed after dependency upgrades.
• Improved error handling and logging for better diagnostics.

2. Security Updates

• Updated vulnerable third-party dependencies to secure versions.
• Improved handling of authentication headers and request validation.
• Minor hardening of service configuration defaults.

3. Performance & Stability Improvements

• Optimized request lifecycle handling to reduce unnecessary overhead.
• Improved Gunicorn/runtime compatibility and startup stability.
• Better resilience during pod restarts and health checks.

4. Dependency Updates

• Updated selected Python libraries to their latest compatible versions.
• Ensured backward compatibility with existing Predict APIs.

5. Removed IoT Dependency

• The direct dependency on the IoT module has been removed from the Predict component. This change decouples Predict from the IoT service layer, improving modularity and simplifying deployment architecture. As a result, Predict now operates independently, while any required IoT-related functionalities are expected to be accessed through the Monitor component or appropriate integration layers.
