This release adds support for custom AWS role names in the Multicloud Connector, inline query parameters in the REST Connector, and initial support for multiple Frontdoor environments. It also addresses issues in the Coupa, Multicloud, and Apptio Download connectors, and automatically registers the Default Agent during initial setup.

New Features

• The Multicloud Connector now supports flexible AWS role names. See Multicloud Connector Guide   [DL-7022]
• The REST Connector now supports query parameters in the REST URL field. See REST Service Connector Guide  [DL-6958]
• DataLInk now has initial support for multiple Frontdoor environments. This is off by default; contact Apptio Support to turn it on. This allows a single DataLink Manager to manage agents in separate Frontdoor environments. This does not affect the behavior of a connector; each connector still operates within the context of one Frontdoor environment. [DL-6396]
