Change Log for saas-11.1

Removed unused code (RDHELP-8968, RDSEC-835)

General improvement to remove unused system code.

Fix for AutoCare PCdb file fails at conversion step after update (ISSUE-765769, HOTFIX-8249)

Fixed a NullPointerException occurring in PIES imports following an update.

Added ability to create temporary config properties (RDSUP-429)

Made a change so that we can make temporary config properties which can be removed again without STEP failing to start. If a config property starts with FixSpecific. and it is not defined in STEP, the application server will now simply warn instead of fail to start. This is to enable us to better support customers in the future without risking side-effects for other customers. This change is only internal and for future use, so it has no effect on any existing systems.

Fix for orphan data export error (HOTFIX-8187, ISSUE-762345)

Reports do not work when the internal node ID is larger than a 32-bit integer, which can be the case for STEP systems that have been in use for many years. This has now been corrected, so it is no longer a problem when internal node IDs exceed the 32-bit integer limit.

Fix for key product information keeps loading for long time in QA after upgrade (HOTFIX-8169, ISSUE-760371)

Fixed an issue where the UI Product Editor may sometimes remain in a loading state. This was due to a security mechanism from GraphQL that stops the query should it be extremely large in size (exceeding the allowed amount of grammar tokens for the request). The change set accounts for this edge case and wires the request appropriately so that GraphQL is not overwhelmed.

Logging for GDSN component model / new Target Market TI for Publish not working (ISSUE-749191, HOTFIX-8125, ISSUE-717991)

Added logging to facilitate troubleshooting for GDSN publisher.

Fix for PIES file upload failing for Asset Description values (HOTFIX-8151, HOTFIX-8141, ISSUE-757087)

Fixed NullPointerException thrown when importing PIES file.

Fix for Backport automotive-related hotfix-7955 to be compatible with version 11.1 (ISSUE-763409, HOTFIX-7955)

HOTFIX-7955 was backported to to:automotive/7.0/automotive-7.0.52.spr (11.1-related automotive version).

Fix for PCdb Conversion NullPointerException (ISSUE-760253, HOTFIX-8116)

Fixed problem where a NullPointerException was thrown during the Autocare PCdb Conversion Import Process.

Logging added due to not being able to use Total in Web UI Homepage Status Selector Widget (HOTFIX-7818, ISSUE-727747)

Added more logging to investigate the problem.

Fix for Data Containers cannot be added to record (HOTFIX-7461, ISSUE-710194)

Fixed a problem occurring when the Add Data Container action on a Web UI Data Container Multi Editor was throwing an exception if the user did not have privileges to view any of the Entity, Product, or Classification roots.

Fix for Browse and Search tabs giving fatal error (RD-23998, HOTFIX-7342)

Fixed setback occurring when a typeahead field on an Add Data Container popup for references was not populated after choosing a reference from the node picker. Another issue where searching for a reference target in an Add Data Container popup's node picker search tab could lead to an Oracle exception, because the search was done for all object types instead of only the valid reference target type, was also fixed.

Fix for custom workflow plugin or business rule - defects in STEP logs (ISSUE-756300, HOTFIX-8122)

When a workflow-wide audit message business action was configured for a workflow, audit messages would not get sent for the automatic transitions from a parallel workflow to the contained workflow clusters and to the initial states of those clusters. Now, audit messages are also sent for these transactions.

Fix for viewing some assets in the Web UI causing an error (ISSUE-685098, HOTFIX-7205)

Fixed a problem when an unexpected exception was thrown in Web UI when trying to view the asset content for an asset, which size is less than 4 bytes.

Fix for broken thumbnail for default image (HOTFIX-7231, ISSUE-682735)

Fixed a problem when Web UI Node List's Thumbnail Header did not show an empty cell for external assets with empty external URI.

Fix for undeletable objects in workbench (HOTFIX-8076, ISSUE-721039)

Fix for Java Message Service (JMS) Inbound failure blocking data updates (HOTFIX-8072, ISSUE-755194)

Fixed exception-handling issue that occurred when failing to close the connection after an unsuccessful JMS message download.

Fix for table definitions only exported on suppressed tables (HOTFIX-8043, ISSUE-748849)

When exporting tables using OIEP, with Table Type Definitions export size set to minimum, Table Types will now be exported for all exported tables, except suppressed tables.

Fix for Inbound files are moving into failed folder without processing (ISSUE-741652, HOTFIX-7933)

Fix for when collection refresh is not working for OIEP (ISSUE-649501, HOTFIX-6960)

Fixed the refresh of collections when running a business rules based outbound processing engine.

Fix for performance issues in PROD Web UIs (HOTFIX-8001, ISSUE-746380)

Fix for Password reset link expired (ISSUE-744805, HOTFIX-7996)

Fix for exporting user groups failure (HOTFIX-7989, ISSUE-740158)

Now, it is not possible to set the user group as its own parent. Doing this created a data inconsistency.

Fix for exporting user groups failure (ISSUE-740158, HOTFIX-7987)

Now, it is not possible to set the user group as its own parent. Doing this created a data inconsistency.

Fix for being unable to use spot --upgrade on STEP versions before 2024.4 (RDHELP-8451)

If certain components are installed on a system and spot --upgrade was asked to plan an upgrade that included those components, then it would come up with an upgrade that was not actually possible. The problem was that the requirement for a different Java Runtime was not communicated via the dependency data that spot --upgrade uses to plan upgrades. This has now been rectified by making SPOT create the needed information for the software already on the system and by creating it for the available software, too.

Now, the Hide Equal toolbar action on the Web UI Multi Workspace screen will be applied to configured Reference table headers.

Fix for inherited value of an LOV with ID being exported despite being overwritten at lower level (ISSUE-735341, HOTFIX-7911)

In cross-context exports, both local and inherited attribute values are exported as there may be some contexts without a local value. But this is only true if the attribute is dimension-dependent. If the attribute is dimension-independent, only the local value, if one exists, is now exported.
