SmartSource Data Collector (SDC)

SmartSource Data Collector 9.2.1

Release Notes

These are the release notes for SmartSource Data Collector 9.2.1 (July 2011)

Additions and Changes

  • Added callback parameter to the wtid.js request:

http://<hostname>/<dcsid>/wtid.js?callback=dcsCallback

When a callback parameter is present on the wtid.js request, a JSONP style response body is returned:

if (typeof(dcsCallback)==”function”){
dcsCallback({“gWtId”:”",”gTempWtId”:”<ip_address>-<timestamp>.<timestamp>”,”gWtAccountRollup”:”"});
}

Issues Resolved

  • Fixed issue when the first request to SDC was missing the filename portion of URL.  In this case, all subsequent requests to SDC would return a 400 status code.
