SEC-8923

A "Data Center" gateway is automatically created in each installation. This gateway can be used for general processing that is not specific to a site.

SEC-8945

The Admin & Settings app indicates whether a gateway has enough configuration information to be deployed. This is indicated by the "is configured" property in on the Client Gateways page.

SEC-8971

SEC-9151

An API is now available that can be used to load a measurement into a Capture execution step.

SEC-9207

The commands for controlling integration gateways have moved to buttons in the Admin & Settings application. These commands restart, suspend or resume processing, and retrieve diagnostics from a gateway. Select a gateway in the Client Gateways UI, and then click the button of the command you want to send.
