Introduction

ASAMCommander is a modular web application for ASAM ODS–based test data management systems, providing engineers, analysts, and administrators with a customizable platform. It offers flexible data exploration and visualization, convenient ODS client, Matlab and Python access, and server-side analysis automation.

ASAMCommander 25.2 – Major platform update

With ASAMCommander 25.2, we are releasing a major update to the AC-Mainframe and platform foundation. The new version focuses on corporate identity, embedded applications, user and group integration, and more predictable deployments. Platform owners and administrators can now brand ASAMCommander to match their environment, integrate more tightly with existing corporate authentication systems, such as OAuth, and operate external modules in a controlled and configurable manner.

Why it matters

In many ASAM ODS environments, ASAMCommander is more than just a client – it is the central entry point into a larger measurement data ecosystem. If branding, user management, or deployment patterns do not align with corporate standards, adoption suffers and operational overhead increases. The 25.2 mainframe update strengthens ASAMCommander as a platform, enabling it to be branded like any other enterprise application and supporting external applications through a consistent deployment and configuration model. This gives platform teams more control while reducing friction for end users.

ASAMCommander including a selection of modules.

What's new?

Mainframe - Corporate Identity and Embedded Applications

  • AC-Mainframe favicon, browser tab title, and logo can now be configured instead of hard-coded, allowing platform teams to align ASAMCommander with their corporate branding.
  • Key-value properties from the configuration are merged with module defaults and made available to the embedded app. This allows environment-specific settings (such as backend URLs) to be implemented without requiring code changes.
  • Improved handling of MF4 files, ensuring that large measurement files are not treated as generic attachments.
  • A footer-based version display has been added and refined so administrators can quickly see which version is running without affecting the layout of embedded applications

Catalogs Management - User & group integration

  • The user element has been extended with additional attributes to better align the AC user model with the directory.
  • The importer for user groups has been updated to prevent changes in group structure from breaking the import in some corner cases.

Deployment & external application integration

  • External applications can be attached to AC-Commander using, for example, a Helm-based deployment pattern, so custom modules can be deployed and configured alongside ASAMCommander
  • A work package stabilizes the overall deployment by providing a clearer directory structure for both successful and failed runs.

Logging and language polish

  • Logging configuration is more robust against minor formatting issues, helping to avoid missing log entries in job monitoring views.
  • Wording and translations have been harmonized across modules (Navigator, Catalog, Search, Export, Bookmarks, Merlin-related views, etc.) for more consistent terminology in both English and German.

What you can do with it

  • Operate a branded ASAMCommander in production or for your customers - AC-Mainframe favicon, browser tab title, and logo can now be configured instead of hard-coded, allowing platform teams to align ASAMCommander with their corporate branding.
  • Integrate with enterprise directories - Align ASAMCommander’s user and group model with an OAuth directory so that user attributes and group memberships stay in sync and imports remain robust over time.
  • Deploy external modules easily - Use Helm-based configuration to attach additional applications to AC-Commander and pass environment-specific properties without hard-coding them into the code.
  • Reduce operational friction - Benefit from clearer job directory structures, better handling of MF4 files, and many small UX refinements that remove blockers discovered during intensive customer testing.

Availability

ASAMCommander 25.2 is available as an update for existing ASAMCommander installations. Customers can obtain the release via the usual delivery channels or on request.
