The development team decided on a temporary bridging solution, based on a commercial application, to test and ship the releases 26.09. 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

Digital Twin Registry​

• Migration from Bitnami to Cloudpirates pending

Golden Record Business Partner Number (BPN) Service​

• Alternative headquarter remediation is mandatory before upgrading. Existing IsAlternativeHeadquarterFor relations were stored with arbitrary direction; operators must re-create them with source = alternative, target = main, and move any ownership relations and ownershipUltimate flag off alternative entities in both Pool and Gate output database.
• Site names must be unique per legal entity. A new constraint is added without resolving pre-existing duplicates — the migration fails and the deployment will not start if duplicates exist.
• Non-conforming script variants are deleted on upgrade (missing legal name, site name or physical city, or a script code the owning address does not cover). Export before upgrading if the data is needed.
• A v6 write drops a business partner's script variants, producing an UPDATE changelog entry. Mixing v6 writes with script variants is not supported.
• A script variant can no longer translate only the address; name and address of a script code are carried together, so a transliterated legal address requires a transliterated legal name.
• Ultimate owner uniqueness is evaluated against relations valid today. Future-dated ownership relations and the headquarter relocation trigger path can produce more than one ultimate owner in a tree.
• Consumers compiling against bpdm-pool-api must adjust: the affected v6 request classes lost the scriptVariants constructor parameter.

IdentityHub​

• API Rest to control the custom_attestation_claims table for easier data manipulation rather than direct DB control feature will be postponed for the next release (26.12)

Identity Hub​

• The identity hub wallet was not tested with a Tractus-X EDC Connector yet (planned for R26.06) to be fully functional
• The issuer service is not integrated with the portal backend (because of a limitation from the portal for the bring your own wallet topic)
• The wallet currently supports only one issuer (is configuration issue)
• Currently there is not possible to issue the membership credential as defined in the CX-0050 standard from Catena-X, because of a missing feature in upstream: Possible BUG: JWT credential @context is hardcoded and not configurable via CredentialDefinition API
  • Custom Contexts are not allowed, so the "memberOf" key is not possible to be included.

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

• 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.

  • 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.

• This Tractus-X release does not include a Managed Identity Wallet (MIW). The development team decided on a temporary bridging solution, based on a commercial application, to test and ship Release 24.05. Without implementing this interim solution, participants will not be able to fully utilize this Tractus-X release in consequence. An updated and validated version of MIW is expected in Release 24.08.
• The Tractus-X EDC has undergone significant changes in its Management API, communication with external services and internal APIs.
• Documentation content (e.g. architecture, manuals etc) and folder structure have not explicitly been checked for this Release, as relevant TRGs are not yet in force. The vast majority of components are evolutions of previous Releases, with a thorough review undergone. This leads to a high confidence in the quality of existing documentation within the product repositories.
• FOSS components developed and pre-tested to TRL6 with artificial test data only
• No crosscheck of functionality in verification environment
• No execution of Load-, Performance- or Penetration Tests
• No assignment of Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) to FOSS components
• GeoBlocking recommended for Operations (GBaaS)
• Security concept (overall) recommended for Operations
• Listed components in "Unchanged, untested" category were not verified in combination with the current Release package and are only compatible with Catena-X Standards as specified. Use at your own risk at this time.

Runtime​

The release has been tested

• on Kubernetes versions: 1.27.3
• with PostgreSQL versions: 15

The following violations of TRG 5.07 apply:

• Golden Record Business Partner Number (BPN) Service operates on Postgresql version 16.x (not 15), but has been successfully tested for the current Release
• Country Risk deploys a Postgresql version 15 per helm chart. Yet, the test has been successfully performed on version 14.x.

• Conformity to Asset Administration Shell v3.0, API live example (AAS) is given. The DTR “/query” interface is finally deprecated and no longer available with this Release as announced. Details can be found in the changelog of the respective component.
• EDC provides no new release compared to 23.12 but only patches: EDC version 0.5.4 is part of 24.03 with the following limitations: Standard Security Tests have been performed, but it is strongly recommended for each EDC operator to apply own security measures. Especially the Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) needs to be executed for each specific operation environment and instance. Tractus-X release guidelines (TRGs) have been fulfilled.
