Fix for background process issue related to duplicates (HOTFIX-8519, ISSUE-794541)

It has been seen that the STEP background process (BGP) system stops scheduling new BGPs due to internal duplicates of values used for controlling the state of the BGP (running, waiting, succeeded,etc.). This fix makes the BGP system able to survive cases where LOVs used by BGPs have duplicates. For instance, the status attribute containing the state running, waiting, succeeded, etc. Also ensured specifically for the status attribute that creating duplicates is not possible anymore. This also includes removing any duplicates already created.

Editing a calculated attribute function could result in an error when attempting to insert a template function (HOTFIX-8512, ISSUE-790443)

If a system was configured with the configuration property Calculated.TemplateRoot that was set to a directory that did not exist, an error would occur when editing a Calculated Attribute function. This has been fixed.

This property cannot be larger than 10000 (10 seconds).

Sorting attribute value columns in Web UI not working correctly (ISSUE-785505, HOTFIX-8513)

A problem occurred when values could not be correctly identified as alphanumeric. In these instances, the system would fall back on simply comparing them as numeric, which caused all values to tie, which caused the system to then fall back on sorting by the ID column instead. This fix includes a check in the default case to see if the values are numeric. If not, a string comparison is performed instead.

Fix for validating product from a Task List forward to home (ISSUE-747902, HOTFIX-8458)

An existing HOTFIX-8251 was backported to 2024.3. Fixed an unexpected exception related to navigating to an item after submitting it from the current state.

Fix for failing outbound integration endpoint (OIEP) (HOTFIX-8420, ISSUE-770450)

Fixed a problem that, in very rare cases (race condition), could result in missing BLOB values (values longer than 4000 characters). The problem lied in that the Garbage Collector mistakenly could consider a BLOB value as garbage (and thus remove it) if it was written at the very same time as the garbage collector ran for that specific BLOB value.

Fix for M&M V2 - Wrong count on import (HOTFIX-8474, RDCDM-6032)

Fix for update process when ID is provided in payload (ISSUE-768063, HOTFIX-8316)

Created the temporary configuration property, FixSpecific.ISSUE768063. If the property is set to true, it will change the behavior for updates on connected sources, (e.g., when an update is done and the StepID is passed in the request). Normally, when in the connected source case, all sources are trusted equally; this is the regular behavior. When the FixSpecific.ISSUE768063 property is applied, all sources will not be treated equally. They can be ordered by importance, most important being the attributes that have the mostTrustedSource survivorship rule set up.

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 flickering behavior observed while adding / removing data container in UI (HOTFIX-8197, 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.

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.

In order to enable the HOTFIX-8201 the following configuration property needs to be added: FixSpecific.ISSUE.757899=true

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 display issue related to workflow objects (ISSUE-748221, HOTFIX-8206)

Fixed an issue in which workflow objects were not displayed if the supplier user was also part of standard user groups. Added a new configuration property to ignore supplier roots.

Fix for Web UI 'List of Values Management Screen' - the values are not sorted correctly (HOTFIX-8194, ISSUE-763790, HOTFIX-8166)

Now, LOV values on the List of Values Management screen in Web UI will be sorted in the same order as in workbench.

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 File Name Match Expression in Asset Import Configuration not working as expected (ISSUE-764792, HOTFIX-8177)

To fix an issue related to case sensitivity, the Asset Importer's File Name matcher is now case-sensitive if it contains the corresponding regular expression.

Fix for Web UI Advanced Search AND operator behaves like OR (HOTFIX-8171, ISSUE-749309)

Now, AND Object Type searches on Advanced Search screen will return valid results and will not behave as OR searches.

Fix for health check (HOTFIX-8153, ISSUE-762638)

Corrected the "FIX" part for three health checks: "Unrevised values should be revised", "Revised values should be unrevised," and "Edges with invalid revisability", so it does not fail with an Oracle error.

Fix for Force Delete and Purge (ISSUE-762736, HOTFIX-8162)

When purging from a node collection, the system now splits the query into several smaller chunks in order to avoid having a snapshot open too long. A snapshot open too long can cause the application server to run out of memory because the vacuum cleaner cannot do its job.

Fix for issue with STEP availability (HOTFIX-8163, ISSUE-762261)

To fix an issue resulting in STEP becoming unavailable, guardrails were implemented that prevent users from creating too many revisions for a node, too many multi values, or values that are too large.

Fix for updating data even after the product is rejected by the business condition (HOTFIX-8155, ISSUE-762346)

A problem occurred when product data was getting updated even after the product was rejected by the business condition. To correct the issue, a previous fix which introduced unnecessary side effects was reverted.

Fix for issues with ETIM-BMEcat (HOTFIX-8150, ISSUE-759883)

To address issues surrounding ETIM and BMEcat, a fix has been implemented that allows STEP to export empty values converted to text using transformations, and not export not-converted empty values using BMECat2005 exporter. This requires a config property to be set as follows: ExportManager.BMECat2005.ExportValidAndAbsent=true

Fix for test constantly failing with InMemory / Cassandra on Wesley (ISSUE-89414)

This fix only applies to STEP with InMemory. This fix corrects the scenario in which an object with incoming references is deleted. All the incoming references should be deleted as well (or marked for deletion), however, prior to this commit the system would not delete incoming references that were created in the same transaction as the deletion of the target object. This rare case has now been fixed.

Fix for Scene7Content Plugin pipeline update and a list of valid pipelines (HOTFIX-8157, ISSUE-759852)

Added DAM variant of pipelines for web-proof-small and web-proof-medium.
