This new functionality empowers you to streamline partner workflows and gain deeper insights into your trading partner ecosystem, all from a single interface.

Enhanced user experience for visibility, security, and streamlined development

We’ve taken another big step towards a more intuitive and efficient workflow management experience. In this release, we’re introducing:

• A fresh new look to the UI: This revamped design is just the beginning. Stay tuned for even more enhancements in the next release that allow you to build your workflows more quickly and easily.
• Disk usage information displayed directly in the UI: No need to use external tools to monitor resource consumption—everything you need is now right at your fingertips.
• New messageOps capabilities: Arc scripts can now read directly from messages without the need for temporary files or additional workflow steps, streamlining your script-based message processing.

These improvements ensure a smoother user experience, enabling you to build workflows faster than ever and maintain full visibility into your mission-critical integrations.

Enhanced connectivity

Connectors are at the heart of CData Arc, and we’re excited to bring you the following updates to Arc’s native connectors:

• XML Map UI enhancements: Based on customer feedback, the XML Map’s interface now offers a more seamless experience. Enjoy new features like source-side editing, document searching, breadcrumbs for navigation, and more.

These enhancements provide more robust and versatile tools to help you build and optimize workflows with ease.

With these powerful new features, CData Arc continues to evolve and deliver the most intuitive, powerful platform for managing trading partner connections and integrations. We remain committed to empowering our users to achieve unparalleled time-to-value.
