Usability Enhancements

• Simplified navigation between modeling and apply actions
• FC-5897 - Platform instance actions are now available from the Platform Model editor. Actions such as Update and Reprovision can be ran directly without needing to navigator away from the editor.

For 12.2.1.3.0 ESS environments, during create-domain the BamCQServiceJmsSystemModule now correctly targets to the BAM cluster instead of bam servers which resulted in the AdminServer failing to start
• FC-5612 - JMS Templates time-to-live can now be configured directly

Known Issues

• In 6.5.0, 6.5.1, and 6.5.2 a regression was identified where the Release Pipeline dashboard view page load times increased significantly. The increa se is relative to the number of Stages configured in the pipeline. Each Stage will increase the total page load time by around 2-3 seconds. A fix is expected to be released in 6.6.0-rc1.
