Support for configuring data sources by using OpenAPI Specification
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
The Integration Designer in App Studio now supports OpenAPI Specification. You can provide an OpenAPI Specification endpoint or upload a YAML file to automatically generate data sources according to the specification. With this enhancement, you avoid having to manually create a representative sample JSON request and response, saving you time and increasing productivity.
For more information, see Integrating with a REST API by using OpenAPI Specification.
Integration and security tab now divided into two tabs
Valid from Pega Version 8.6
The Integration and Security tab is now two separate tabs on the form: Integration and Security. While the content of these two tabs are related, they function more effectively as separate tabs. The Security tab now includes the Authentication section, so you can add existing authentication services to your Application Definition to more effectively manage the security of your application.
For more information, see Security tab of the Application Definition.
