ASAMCommander is HighQSoft’s web-based, modular, standards-driven client for ASAM ODS test data. Test engineers browse, search, and visualize measurement data in the browser; administrators manage catalogs, monitor the system, and onboard data without installing anything on the desktop. Release 26.1.1 closes the first feature development cycle and delivers the largest module overhaul since the 25.2 platform update, the completely redesigned Merlin UI.

The headline of this release is the new Merlin UI, the ASAMCommander module for workflow automation with the Merlin Analysis Server. The previous Merlin module had grown apart from the rest of the product; it looked and behaved differently from Navigator, Catalog Editor, and the other modules. We redesigned it from scratch, starting with user interviews and interface prototypes, and integrated the result into this release. Merlin UI now shares the same interaction patterns as every other ASAMCommander module, so creating evaluations, launching jobs, and monitoring them feels like one product, not two.

The redesigned module covers the full evaluation workflow. Engineers browse available evaluations, provide parameters, and launch jobs; a system-wide monitoring view tracks running and queued jobs in real time; and the Blueprints Manager organizes reusable evaluation templates, including activating and deactivating blueprints so teams control exactly which evaluations are available for production use.

Beyond the Merlin UI redesign, 26.1.1 improves nearly every module of the product.

• Navigator
  Conventional pagination now works consistently across Instance Navigation, the Relations tab, and custom HQL-defined sections, and sorting in the instance navigation behaves as expected.
• Catalog Editor
  The Import and Export Map Editor and its menu are now configurable to your workflow, and export mapping creation works reliably.
• Bookmarks
  Bookmarked jobs appear in a full table with pagination, sorting, and date filtering, making large job collections manageable.
• Search
  A refined user interface delivers faster, clearer result handling.
• Data display
  Channels with byte-string data (DT_BYTESTR) now plot and display correctly in tables.
• Robustness
  Log search in the administration module handles special characters cleanly, among further fixs and polish throughout the product.

ASAMCommander 26.1.1 also introduces the AC Professional Distribution, a verified bundle in which the mainframe and all module versions are tested to work together. It ships as a single Docker image and as a ZIP/TAR archive, available from the HighQSoft public Harbor registry and our download platform.
