Release Notes - [Thru AFT] [Ver 6.2.3.4]
Release Date: [14-Oct-2024]
Overview
The 6.2.3.4 release includes major updates, including the new Thru Node Direct Connection feature and the ability to delete files from the Activity page. All Thru Nodes must be updated to access these features. If node updates are disabled, enable them temporarily to apply the update.
[New Features]
Thru Node Direct Connection Feature
Functionality: Most external endpoints now have the option to be served by Thru Node in addition to Thru Cloud. When a flow endpoint is served by Thru Node, external file repository connections and file transfers are executed by the Node instead of the Cloud. This ensures that files never reside in Thru Cloud, meeting security, compliance, and performance requirements for specific use cases.
Note: If using Direct Connection, ensure that external servers permit connections from the IP addresses where Thru Node is deployed.Setup: In the Flow Endpoint Editor, link a Flow endpoint to a Thru Node to enable direct connections for transfers using the same node as both source and/or target. When the same node is used for both the source and target, all file delivery will occur within the customer's environment where the Node is deployed.
Supported Endpoints:
External FTPS
External SFTP
Azure Blob
Amazon S3
SharePoint
Google Cloud Storage
All Thru Nodes must be updated to use the new external node feature. If updates are currently disabled on your Thru Node, you will need to enable them. Once the release is complete and your Thru Node is updated to the latest version, you can manually reconfigure it to disable updates again. If you have never disabled updates, you can ignore this message.

File Deletion from the Activity Page
On the Activity page, users can now manually delete or purge files from Thru cloud storage only. Please be aware that this action is irreversible.
Added UI API endpoint to delete files in the Activity, accepts a list of files, and uses an optional Boolean to delete all files associated with the initial list.
New tooltips on the Overview page allow users to view Node Ingress and Node Egress information more easily.
Node Ingress | Node Egress |
Management API
New API Endpoint getTransferHistory returns all transfers including manual. Use instead of API /api/Activity/getFileActivity
Before manual download events were available only on the Activity page under each file download separately.
Added the option to custom brand front page logo and web portal UI color scheme.
