Jitterbit release schedule

Overview

This page provides the general release cadence for the components of Jitterbit product releases. This cadence may be adjusted due to special circumstances such as holidays.

Updates for known critical defects will be applied as necessary. Though advance notice will be given if possible, there may be circumstances where a fix is of such urgency that advance notice is not possible.

To receive notice of both planned releases and emergency maintenances, sign up for notifications on Jitterbit's system status site. You can update your notification preferences at https://trust.jitterbit.com.

Release notes

Release notes are in the following locations:

• Harmony release notes, including App Builder release notes
• Wevo iPaaS release notes

Release regions

Depending on the product, release dates are by Harmony region. This is the approximate release schedule by region:

• APAC: Released first

• EMEA: Released 1 day after APAC

• NA: Released 1 to 4 days after EMEA

Harmony release and Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade

The Harmony release and the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade occur automatically.

This is the approximate schedule for each region:

• The Harmony cloud platform, cloud applications, and the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group are updated approximately every three weeks.
• The Sandbox Cloud Agent Group is updated to the latest available Jitterbit agent at the time of each Harmony release.
• Upgrades of the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group take up to four hours to complete.

Approximately two weeks in advance of a scheduled release, a maintenance is posted on Jitterbit's system status site with all possible affected Harmony components selected. Note that the actual release may not affect all selected components. See each Harmony release notes page for details of each release.

During a Harmony release, these are the possible affected components selected on Jitterbit's system status site:

• Harmony portal: Harmony web-based interface for accessing Harmony portal web applications:
  • Studio: Harmony web application for creating, configuring, deploying, and testing integration projects. Native Studio connectors, as identified in Connectors, are part of the Studio application.
  • API Manager: Harmony web application for creating, controlling, and consuming custom APIs, OData APIs, and proxy APIs.
  • EDI: Harmony web application for managing EDI trading partners and the transactions made with them.
  • Marketplace: Harmony web application providing access to Studio integration recipes and process templates.
  • Management Console: Harmony web application for managing and monitoring your Harmony organization across Harmony.
• Runtime operation logs: Logs generated when a Studio or Design Studio project operation is executed.
• Cloud platform: Harmony cloud infrastructure and services.
• Cloud API gateway: Harmony cloud gateway hosted by Jitterbit that accepts and processes API Manager API calls.

During a Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade, the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group component is selected on Jitterbit's system status site.

As part of the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group update, new Jitterbit-provided Studio connectors become available to use in the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group and the Production Cloud Agent Group, and updates to native Studio connectors become available in both Cloud Agent Groups and on private agents. For the full connector release cadence, see Studio connector updates.

Private API gateway, Design Studio, App Builder, and other installer downloads

Private API gateway, Design Studio, App Builder, Microsoft Dynamics connectors, and SAP event listener installers are updated on an as-needed basis.

Updated installer downloads will be available from the Harmony portal Downloads page at the conclusion of each region's Harmony release and Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade. The App Builder Docker image is available at Docker Hub.

The private agent and private API gateway Docker images and the private agent installer downloads are updated on a separate schedule, described later on this page.

Production Cloud Agent Group upgrade

The Production Cloud Agent Group upgrade occurs automatically.

This is the approximate schedule for each region:

• The Production Cloud Agent Group is upgraded to the most recent version approximately 3 to 8 days after the conclusion of each region's Harmony release and Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade.
• Upgrades of the Production Cloud Agent Group take up to six hours to complete.

Approximately two weeks in advance of a scheduled release, a maintenance is posted on Jitterbit's system status site with the Production Cloud Agent Group component selected.

As part of the Production Cloud Agent Group update, updated Jitterbit-provided Studio connectors become available to use in the Production Cloud Agent Group and private agents. For the full connector release cadence, see Studio connector updates.

Studio connector updates

Most Studio connectors are deployed separately from the Studio application. An agent downloads these connectors from Harmony rather than having them built in, and updates itself to the current version automatically, so the dates below are when a new version becomes the current one for each agent group. Release notes for these connectors appear under the Connectors component category.

New connectors become available in the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group and the Production Cloud Agent Group at the first date set of the Harmony release and Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade, and on private agents at the second date set.

Updated connectors follow the Cloud Agent Group upgrades:

• Sandbox Cloud Agent Group: Updated connectors are released to Sandbox Cloud Agent Group environments at the time of the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group update.

• Production Cloud Agent Group and private agents: Updated connectors are released to environments using the Production Cloud Agent Group and private agents at the time of the Production Cloud Agent Group update.

On private agents, you can suspend automatic connector updates with the Disable Auto Connector Update organization policy.

Native connectors are the exception. A native connector is part of Studio rather than a separately deployed component, so its updates are released with Studio and become available in the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group, the Production Cloud Agent Group, and on private agents at the first date set. Release notes for native connector updates appear under the Studio or Agent component category, depending on whether the change is in the Studio application or the agent runtime. A native connector update can also require a specific agent version, which is noted by a designation within the Agent component category.

Which Jitterbit-provided connectors are native is indicated in the connectors list and in each connector's documentation.

The following table summarizes the connector deployment cadence. The first date set of a release corresponds with the Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade and Harmony cloud platform and applications, while the second date set of a release corresponds with the Production Cloud Agent Group upgrade and private agent installer availability.

Private agent installer downloads

Updated Windows and Linux private agent installers are available from the Harmony portal Downloads page at the conclusion of each region's Production Cloud Agent Group release.

Private agent and private API gateway Docker images

The Docker private agent and private API gateway Docker images will be available at Docker Hub at the conclusion of the NA region Production Cloud Agent Group release.

Wevo iPaaS

The Wevo iPaaS upgrade occurs automatically. In general, Wevo iPaaS upgrades are scheduled immediately following the NA region Harmony release and Sandbox Cloud Agent Group upgrade.
