Known Knowns​

• All not listed products and KITs have not been updated and are based on the release 25.09 or previous releases
  • These products were not part of the testing phase
• The Eclipse Tractus-X release does not include an Identity Wallet. The development team decided on a temporary bridging solution, based on a commercial application, to test and ship the releases 24.08, 24.12, 25.03, 25.06, 25.09 and 25.12. Without implementing this interim solution, participants will not be able to fully utilize this release in consequence.
• For E2E Testing, the 2.2.3 of the SSI DIM Middle Layer was used - this component is FOSS but the currently used wallet (see previous item) is not

Industry Core Hub​

• Complete EcoPass functionality completely included on this release (only creation of passports in a Catalog Part)
  • It will be released on a beta tag from the PR
• One defect was found at the E2E test phase, when creating a serialized part, the "partInstanceId" field is obligatory, but if you leave it empty, it will create the part with it empty (which is not a blocker, just you will not be able to search by partInstanceId, since it is not specified): for more infomration

PURIS​

• PURIS FOSS has not been integrated with Tractus-X Connector 0.11.x and new Policy Profile (CX25.09)
• Rest see, Changelog, Known Knows

Tractus-X SDK​

• Compatibility with EDC 0.11.x (Saturn) not tested completely see here

Runtime​

The following runtime has been used during end-to-end test:

• Kubernetes version: 1.33.1
• Applications used
  • PostgreSQL version: 15.4.0 or higher
  • DTR version 0.10.0

Using helm with central helm registry​

You can search all released helm charts with the following commands:

helm repo add tractusx-dev https://eclipse-tractusx.github.io/charts/dev
helm repo update tractusx-dev
helm search repo tractusx-dev --versions

Bitnami changes​

The official Bitnami Helm chart repository has been deprecated or is no longer maintained in its previous location. Bitnami has migrated legacy container images to a new repository called bitnamilegacy. Helm charts using Bitnami container images must be updated to reference this new source to ensure continued functionality. With bitnamilegacy we won’t receive security updates.

Extract from values.yaml:

postgresql:
  image:
    # -- workaround to use bitnamilegacy chart
    repository: bitnamilegacy/postgresql
    tag: 15.4.0-debian-11-r45

Known Knowns​

• All not listed products and KITs have not been updated and are based on the release 25.06
  • These products were not part of the testing phase
• The Eclipse Tractus-X release does not include an Identity Wallet. The development team decided on a temporary bridging solution, based on a commercial application, to test and ship the releases 24.08, 24.12, 25.03, 25.06 and 25.09. Without implementing this interim solution, participants will not be able to fully utilize this release in consequence.
• For E2E Testing, the 2.2.3 of the SSI DIM Middle Layer was used - this component is FOSS but the currently used wallet (see previous item) is not

BPDM​

• When creating a marketplace app the Portal does not support an internal technical user profile for BPDM permission group Gate Input Consumer. Therefore, it is currently not possible to create a marketplace app that enables access to ReadAccessGateInputForSharingMember offers for external VAT services wanting to access sharing member Gates
• For the new Tractus-X Connector 0.11 the golden record process was only tested on the 3rd release candidate, not the actual released version. There were no backwards compatibility tests between older Tractus-X Connector versions and the new Tractus-X Connector 0.11.
• BPDM currently only offers documentation on how to use the Tractus-X Connector 0.11 over DCP 1.0. There are no tutorials for DCP 0.8 available.

Tractus-X Connector​

• Beware of the changes in the acceptable policies, which inflict breaking changes required by services that create new policies -- see migration guide for more information.
• Policy right operands given as array are not returned as specified, they work, but the returned right operand is a string representation of the json object(#2221)
• DCP implementation uses a wrong property name. SAP DIM is capable to deal with the wrong property name (#2255)
• Application of policies that can be ensured automatically not complete (#2259)
• There is a complex issue about the compatibility of policies with dsp versions, especially regarding backward compatibility (#2288). The issue requires further investigation which we will execute to separate misbehavior from documentation issues.

Industry Core Hub​

• RLock is blocking other API calls when negotiation is not successful at the Discovery: industry-core-hub#334
• Trivy scan fails to complete successfully because of alpine version: industry-core-hub#319
• When the Tractus-X Connector restarts, the Connector assets are not recreated for the already available twins: industry-core-hub#318
• Incompatible with Tractus-X Connector 0.11.x: (additional)
  • Not compliant to CX-0018, due to NOT evaluating the dspace endpoint.
  • Not compliant to CX-0152, due to NOT implementing the new odrl profile.
• No authentication is implemented (it will be included in R25.12, PR is ready): industry-core-hub#254

PURIS​

• Data Assets and DTR not covered in migrations
• Data Sovereignty is not transparent to end-users
• Catalog and Negotiations have bad user experience (no actions, no filters)
• Incompatible with Tractus-X Connector 0.11.x: (additional)
  • Not tested with Tractus-X Connector in version 0.11.x
  • Not compliant to CX-0018, due to NOT evaluating the dspace endpoint.
  • Not compliant to CX-0152, due to NOT implementing the new odrl profile.

Tractus-X SDK​

• Compatibility with Tractus-X Connector 0.11.x (Saturn) not tested completely: tractusx-sdk#159
  • The Saturn APIs were implemented but were not able to be tested because of different bugs found at the connector and due to missing documentation on how to adopt it.

Runtime​

The following runtime has been used during end-to-end test:

• Kubernetes version: 1.29.10
• Applications used
  • PostgreSQL version: 15.4.0 or more specifically 15.4.0-debian-11-r45
