August '24 Release

The EPC 2.0 August ‘24 release is scheduled for August 17, 2024. With this release, we've included the following new features and improvements:

Platform updates

The following EPC platform updates are included in this release:

  • Fixed resource.type for Appraisal report XML files [EPC-34658]: Prior to this release, non-supported file types were attached to the loan as a Loan Folder attachment, requiring lender users to communicate with partners for the specific name of the file. To bridge this gap, starting with this release, a new patch transaction resource type is being introduced: urn:ice:epc:partner:appraisal:report:version:Vx.x.x. Lenders can now identify the appraisal xml files within the transactions resources.
  • outboundStatuses section added to findings [EPC-35094]: Findings' status now split into inbound and outbound sections

    • Resources support [EPC-34677]: Resources in product registration at transaction.request now supported
    • Documents mapping [EPC-34882]: Prior to this release, transaction service did not accept resource object with both type and assignedTo objects. This has been updated for the request workflow so that both objects are now accepted. [Validation for response resources remain unchanged/not impacted by this update].
  • Migration to new EPC2 HA URLs for all products [EPC-34778]: All products now use the same HA URL - across Encompass desktop and web editions.
  • Additional product URL support [EPC-31492]: Additional URLs can be added to product configurations.
