Following our IP.Nexus 1.3 updates, here are the changes to hosting integration:
Screenshots shown are subject to design change.
Improved Error Log
If a server experiences temporary issues, Nexus is unable to make calls to the server to create, suspend, terminate accounts, etc. When this happens, a log is made so that you can review and resend the failed commands.
In IP.Nexus 1.3, we've improved the interface for dealing with errors so that you can quickly locate the account it relates to, and view the full API call information.
On the subject of dealing with API errors - there may be times when an account cannot be created or it is manually edited on the server.
IP.Nexus now has an easy interface for associating a record in it's database with an account on the server. You can just enter in the username on the server, and Nexus will figure it out.
Improved Server List
IP.Nexus lists the current load average when viewing the list of servers in the Admin CP.
When there are lots of servers, this can sometimes cause the page to load slowly.
In IP.Nexus 1.3, the load will be fetched by AJAX after the page loads so that there is no delay.
Editing Account Information
Sometimes you may need to edit the Nexus database without calling the server, for example, if a username is changed on the server and you just need to update the Nexus database.]
In IP.Nexus 1.3, when editing a hosting account, Nexus will notify you which fields will be updated on the server and allow you to override that if you desire.
Along with the above, when cancelling a purchase, Nexus will allow you to optionally not terminate the account on the server (which it previously did automatically).
Partial Domain Search
I previously mentioned the Live Search support in IP.Nexus 1.3.
This supports partial searching for domains and account usernames which was not previously supported.
