Special attention items:

AMT 69

• AMT File Controller (.NET Core/gRPC):
  As a first step In the gradual migration of our complete AMT source to .NET Core, the AMT File Controller is now targeting .NET Core 3.1 when running ‘normally’ or stand-alone. The assemblies it relies on all target .NET Standard 2.0. This switch may need additional installation of .NET Core components or configurations for Oracle.
• .NET Core Runtime 3.1.x needs to be installed on all servers where an AMT File Controller is running. Customers are advised to install this version on all AMT servers since more components will be Core enabled in future AMT releases. It can be found here.
• For gRPC to work, VC_Redist.X64 needs to be installed. This is a C++-Library from Microsoft, which is commonly used, so it may already be installed on your systems. It can be found here.
• The web.configs for the AMT Application Center, AMT Control Center and the client web application have extra assembly dependencies. Please make sure the following lines are in your web.configs:

<dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity 
    name = "Newtonsoft.Json" 
    culture = "neutral" publicKeyToken="30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" 
  />
  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-12.0.0.0" newVersion="12.0.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity 
    name="System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe" 
    culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
  />
  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.6.0" newVersion="4.0.6.0" />
</dependentAssembly>

• For Oracle only: the AMT File Controller needs a .Net Core version of the wrapper. This has been delivered and requires an extra environment variable AMT_ORACLE_WRAPPER_CORE.
• AMT File Controller settings:
  A gRPC server and port number must be set in the File Controller options in the Control Center upon upgrading. If this is not done, the File Controller and Batch Controller will crash. Customers are advised to use IP addresses instead of DNS in all applications that use the new .NET Core and gRPC based AMT File Controller, as this works more efficiently. Settings can be changed in the AMT Control Center, under Services.
