Fix / RCA for prod environment outage (HOTFIX-8243, ISSUE-766986, ISSUE-768936)

Fixed potential out-of-memory errors that occur when querying large lists of classification-product links, references, or nodes in NodeCollections. The query NodeCollection.queryNodes on Oracle allows JVM to GC nodes already returned by query (previously, already returned nodes were kept in a hard reference from within the DataNucleus query object). Also, calling queryReferences, queryReferencedBy, and queryClassificationProductLinks do not cache already returned objects by query (unless query size is less than a configurable size - default size is 10000 before going into query mode).

Fix for how Elasticsearch events are calculated (HOTFIX-8245, ISSUE-769226)

To understand how Elasticsearch events are calculated and how much time it takes for re-indexing, a customer-specific solution was introduced to enable a domain-driven strategy for Elasticsearch publishing. An existing hotfix (HOTFIX-8245) was backported to 2024.2.

Now, it is possible to change the default limit of tokens in GraphQLv2.

Fix for flickering behavior observed while adding / removing data container in UI (HOTFIX-8226, ISSUE-758019)

In edge cases, the addition or deletion of data containers (only applied to those that are not unfolding), caused the Web UI to flicker and the list of data containers to be refreshed with unexpected items (e.g., you delete a data container, but it reappears on the list). This was due to a race condition happening in certain edge cases, and primarily when the system was very slow and the user was trying to interact with it. This change set accounts for that edge case by waiting for the previous action to be stored before the user can continue editing in order to ensure data is always in its latest state.

Fix to upgrade component to latest version (ISSUE-84972, HOTFIX-8180)

Implemented a security update for the system.

Fix for translation status error for asynchronous translation (HOTFIX-8231, ISSUE-762542)

Due to improved functionality for replacement rules added in the STEP 2024.1 update, STEP XML imports using these tags suffered a performance drop. This fix tries to remedy some of that performance drop.

Fix for excessive Web UI loading times (ISSUE-765754, HOTFIX-8224)

Fixed an issue related to long loading times in the Web UI by introducing a private configuration property (FixSpecific.ISSUE.765754) set to false by default. When set to true, an automatic checking process to ascertain whether an attribute was valid in previous revisions will be skipped on the Multi Revision screen in the Web UI to address the performance issue.

Fix for Fix JavaScript Vulnerabilities on bridge (HOTFIX-8216, RDSEC-534)

Fixed JavaScript Vulnerabilities on bridge

Fix for overwritten calculated attributes not present in export (HOTFIX-8213, ISSUE-764943)

Fix for Node List Performance Issue (HOTFIX-8148, ISSUE-762169)

A Task List page was taking too long to load. Now, data container values on Web UI Node Lists will load when needed instead of loading automatically when a Table Header Value component is configured on the screen.

Fix for flickering behavior observed while adding / removing data container in UI (HOTFIX-8197, ISSUE-758019)

In edge cases, the addition or deletion of data containers (only applied to those that are not unfolding), caused the Web UI to flicker and the list of data containers to be refreshed with unexpected items (e.g., you delete a data container, but it reappears on the list). This was due to a race condition happening in certain edge cases, and primarily when the system was very slow and the user was trying to interact with it. This change set accounts for that edge case by waiting for the previous action to be stored before the user can continue editing in order to ensure data is always in its latest state.

Fix for inability to edit table on Display Children Screen in Web UI (HOTFIX-8200, RDSUP-430)

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.

Fixed a problem with missing clipping path images in a converted image when the output was set to create .tiff files.

Fix for health checks related to the Performance Analysis tools (HOTFIX-7964)

Three fixes have been made to address issues with health checks: One, the Global Schema Change Log was being spammed with info about user settings being deleted. This information has no value as user settings are created and deleted all the time in the Web UI and a large percentage of the Global Schema Change Log would be log entries related to user settings. This information has been removed. Two, the typeahead functionality (which is widely but not exclusively used in the Web UI) generated very long running queries when the prefix matched nodes for which the user did not have privileges to view them. This has been fixed by capping the size of the request. And three, the health check Too Many Associated Objects was creating too many warnings about ChangeLog relations which were irrelevant to the user. This has been fixed.

Fix for unstable STEP environment related to cache (ISSUE-745637)

A fix has been made for a memory leak in the Web UI. Each time a Web UI configuration was changed, a little more heap memory was used to cache Web UI information because the old information was never deleted. This has been changed, so that when a user saves a Web UI configuration the cache is cleared. It is possible this fix can have the effect of slowing down the Web UI temporarily following a configuration save, but will return to normal once the cache is populated again.

Fix for read-only issue in Web UI Multi Language Screen (HOTFIX-7971)

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.
