SOTI Connect

You must have the latest published version of SOTI Connect 2024.2 installed on your system before installing version 2025.0. You cannot directly install SOTI Connect 2025.0 from an earlier version. SOTI does not recommend using SQL Server 2022, although it is compatible with SOTI Connect 2025.0.

With recent load balancing, action scheduling, and traffic management improvements, SOTI Connect 2025.0 is more powerful and robust than ever. Please refer to SOTI Connect Help for further documentation of the capacity changes and case-specific limitations.

Enhanced rule creation in SOTI Connect now offers users greater control and flexibility, streamlining the automation process. Building from sequential rules, SOTI Connect 2025.0 introduces Rule Failure Actions. Users can design flows with options like ‘Retry’, ‘Interrupt’, ‘Continue’, and ‘Go to action’ to control the sequence of actions in case of a failure. This enables sequential actions to enhance the overall automation experience.

SOTI Connect 2025.0 introduces a revamped Rules History UX, offering a more granular view. Users can now explore the Rules History at the ‘Rule Level’, ‘Action Level’ and ‘Device Level’, with an extended execution flow that highlights Rule Failure Actions. In addition, the new Conditional Rules feature unifies the functionalities of the previous Individual Automation Rules and Group Automation Rules, streamlining the automation process.

The SOTI Connect 2025.0 Remote Protocol Adapter Update is useful for setups involving many machines hosting different SOTI Connect components. When the Management Server is updated to a newer version, it automatically triggers SOTI Connect version updates on other machines where protocol adapters are installed.

This feature is available starting with SOTI Connect 2025.0. From this version onward, the Remote PA Update will execute for newer versions.

In SOTI Connect 2025.0, when users upload a file, they can identify its type. If a file is selected as a firmware type, the system reads the file and automatically fills in its version and device type information based on the coverage of its metadata. If devices with an older version are detected, they will receive a new status called “New Firmware Available.” Users can use this new status to automatically update any outdated devices.

As a pioneer in the SOTI ONE family’s user interface revamp process, SOTI Connect 2025.0 features a brand-new facade. This release offers users the option to personalize the console theme with new “Light Mode,” “Dark Mode,” and “Match OS Theme” options, replacing the classic theme. These enhancements aim to provide a more customizable user experience.
