Downloads

Here you will find the latest DPAA® release download.  The latest release includes all prior version changes and patches.  Though we suggest you always update to the latest release, please note our versioning is by date.    


Please review the release notes to see all the changes in this version, and watch the video to see what's new within new feature (NF) or enhanced (ER) releases.   We don't always release videos for ER releases, but if the difference  involves usability or outcomes, we likely will.


New users should refer to the system recommendations and installation steps noted below.

If you are an existing user, please follow the process on how to upgrade below.


Please use the Contact Us page to schedule a demo, an interactive learning session, or to obtain your license.  New users are entitled to a limited trial period with full support to ensure  DPAA® meets your expectations.


Please note, this is the only official download site.  Do not trust a DPAA® download from anywhere else.

Getting Started

A must watch for getting started with DPAA®

Managing Appliances

The way DPAA® manages appliances is essential to your success.

SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS

System Requirements

A system with at least:

  •  A 4 core processor (with hyper-threading recommended).
  • 4GB Ram (8GB recommended) with available RAM to dedicate 2GB or more for DPAA®.
  • HD screen (Full HD or at least a Full HD attached monitor) (4K is OK).
  • 50mbs or better network connection (up and down) between the client machine and the DataPower appliances.

Install or download Java 18 JRE or above

You are not required to install the full Java JDK for DPAA® to work, but you must have at least Open JDK (or JRE) or Oracle JRE 18 or above.   You can download the OpenJDK JRE and just unpack it into a directory.   If you have any questions about this process, please go to the Features & Tutorials page and schedule a meeting with us.


Once you have Java either installed or a JRE unpacked into a directory, you can do one of the following:


  • Add a path to the java executable (if the installation process did not) into your environment variables.   You can test if the path is set correctly by opening a command prompt and running the "java -version" command. 
  • Change the appropriate "RunDPAA" file (See below) by adding the fully qualified path to the java executable there.  For example, if you unpacked the JRE into "C:\Java", change the "RunDPAA" command to something more like:

 

                                     "C:\Java\bin\java.exe -jar....."

Installation Steps

  • Your first license will be a free, fully-functional, limited time period license.  We do this to ensure you can get DPAA® running and setup successfully, and to ensure it works to your liking.
  • Go to the Contact Us Page to request a license.   Make sure to include your email address, as that is the manner in which we will send your license. 
  • You will receive a "License.txt" file attached to an email.
    • Keep a copy of this file in a safe place.
    • Do not rename the file.
    • It must be named "License.txt" to be valid.
  • Put the downloaded ZIP file and the "License.txt" file in an isolated directory.
  • Extract the contents of the ZIP file.
    • Depending on your OS, the extract might have created a directory, or it might have extracted directly.
    • Either way, once extracted, you should see five things:
      • A "configs" directory, which will initially be empty.
      • The DPAA.jar file
      • RunDPAA.cmd - Run DPAA® on Windows systems.
      • RunDPAA.command - Run DPAA® on Macintosh Systems.
      • RunDPAA.sh - Run DPAA® on Linux Desktop Systems.
  •  Copy or move the "License.txt" file into the "configs" directory.
    • Do not rename the "License.txt" file.
    • The "License.txt" file must be located within the "configs" directory contained within the directory where DPAA® was extracted.
  • Select the "RunDPAA" file matching your operating system.

Initial Setup

  • The logon screen:
    • Create a unique username and password.
    • Verify the password
      • NOTE:  There is no back door.
      • If you forget your username and password, you will need to contact Kumba Software LLC Technical support for assistance.
    • ALSO NOTE:  
      • The username and password for accessing DPAA® is not to and should not be used for accessing the appliances.
      • This information is used to protect the appliance information, including the credentials used to access them.
    • Review the software license.
    • Accept the software license.
    • Select "Setup"
  • The first time running DPAA®, you will be directed to set up at least one appliance.


It is highly advised to schedule a technical support session with Kumba Software LLC to interactively help you get started.   


We also highly suggest you watch the "Getting Started" and the "Managing Appliances" video tutorials.  Once you are set up, please review the tutorial videos located within our Features & Tutorial page.

How to Upgrade

For existing users, please follow this process to upgrade

Upgrading is literally as easy as 1-2-3:


  1. Download the latest DPAA®
  2. Extract the latest release into to a new directory.
  3. Copy the DPAA.jar file and replace the DPAA.jar file from the previous release.


That's It!!


The license you have should work with this new version of DPAA®.  If not, please contact us for assistance.  

What's New!

What's new in DPAA.NF.2025-01-31

We've added the ability to poll your IBM DataPower logs until your search expression is found.  Find transaction related logs when they come through without the guessing and repeated refresh.  Just enter your expression, turn on polling, perform your search and walk away.  When DPAA® finds the logs matching your search expression, it stops, allowing you to examine the output.  Combined with "Follow Transactions", this sets the new standard in capturing logs in non-deterministic scenarios.


What's new in DPAA.ER.2024-12-31

In this release, we've enhanced the CLI with simulated commands not supported by IBM DataPower itself, yet DPAA® makes it appear as though it is. You can now force the refresh of the Log Target list.  Another neat feature is the new difference highlighting now available within the object compare screen.  We've also fixed the cursor positioning problem within the syntax formatting file editor.  Finally, we corrected the issue related to the inability to edit RADIUS settings. 

SIMPLE VERSIONING THE WAY IT SHOULD BE

DPAA® is versioned by date.

KumbaSoft's® versioning is simple and straightforward.  We simply version by the date of the latest release.   This lets you know right away how old your version may be.  It also means there is only one download at any given time.  


We typically put out new versions on a monthly basis.  Check out the release notes for what is in the latest download.


NF Releases contain new features and are generally accompanied by videos explaining how to use them.    This makes it easy to learn the new features all in one place.  


ER Releases contain enhancements to existing features.  If the enhancements are significant, they will be accompanied by a video.


IR Releases contain minor updates and fixes.


SB Releases are special builds created between monthly releases when severe problems are encountered by the current release.
