Analytics Server and Platform Analytics have actually been using the TLS protocol since SSL was deprecated. However, install parameters and the installer UIs have continued to use SSL terminology. In this release, wherever possible, references to SSL have been updated to TLS. In the graphical and text mode installers, field names have been updated. In the silent mode installer, parameters names have been updated.

During silent mode installation, the RabbitMQ and Flink TLS parameters are not validated. If you enter an invalid value, the installation will continue but will not be successful. This issue has been resolved so that invalid TLS parameters are detected and an error message is displayed before installation begins.

When upgrading from an earlier version of Platform Analytics, you can opt to install the internal RabbitMQ and Flink instances that are part of the installer or link to external instances. However, if you installed the internal instances with your previous version of Platform Analytics, and you want to switch to using external instances during the upgrade, the Platform Analytics upgrade procedure fails.

This issue has been resolved so that you can switch to an external instance of RabbitMQ or Flink during a Platform Analytics upgrade.

When Platform Analytics was previously installed with SSL for RabbitMQ disabled, this selection is not persisted during a modify or repair installation. The RabbitMQ SSL check box defaults to enabled, regardless of the previous installation selection.

This issue will be resolved in a future release.
