On December 7, 2018 Connect:Direct V6.0 became available. It’s a major, new release that features several important enhancements I detailed in this blog. Some of the highlights include a modern web console that is a big leap forward in user experience, Partner Details Cards for automated onboarding, expanded RESTful API support, and simpler installation and security management.

Watch the Demo

If you were able to join me at Think Exchange for Supply Chain and Think 2019, you probably got to see these new capabilities for yourself. If you weren’t able to attend, I encourage you to watch our 30-minute webcast, “Diving Deep into the New IBM Connect:Direct V6.0”. The webcast features a demo of the new user interface.

See how the new console makes life easier for experienced users and new users alike. Here are just a few examples:

  • Easily access and navigate across key activities related to transfers, partners, statistics and settings in one user-friendly UI.
  • Click to see transfers that are active, in progress, waiting, on hold and scheduled, and quickly identify any errors.
  • Initiate transfers by simply pointing and clicking to build and submit the transfer.
  • Click on the statistics menu to view activity, success metrics and messages related to specific transmissions.
  • Easily navigate through settings to find what you need – from setting up users and enabling encryption and decryption to advanced diagnostics like tracing.
  • Manage, track and update security settings for all partner activities in one area.
  • Onboard a partner in as little as 5 minutes by simply clicking on a drop-down menu to export common connection information, including security settings, and calling the partner with the pass phrase for the file that they can automatically import to complete the process.
