11.0-MP2 Maintenance Patch Notes

August 2022

New Features

DaaS Publisher allows writing Last Published date / time to nodes

The new 'Last Published Attribute' parameter on the DaaS event processor plugin can update an attribute with the date / time value for objects successfully published to DaaS. The selection for this parameter must be a description attribute that is externally maintained, non-dimension dependent, and ISO Date and Time validated. The 'Last Published Attribute' value is not published to DaaS but can be configured to display in the workbench and Web UI. This optional feature can be used to monitor the age of data on the DaaS server. For more information, refer to the Publishing to Data as a Service topic of the Data as a Service documentation here.

SPOT logs are now available from the Admin Portal

The SPOT logs record information about patch deployment and start-up. This allows admins to troubleshoot issues when deploying a custom add-on developed using the Extension API. These logs are available on the Admin Portal Logs tab, which is accessible from the System Administration link on the Start page. For more information, refer to the Logs topic of the Administration Portal documentation here.

ECLASS Import Message Updates

To ensure alignment with the ECLASS Advanced importer and following the ECLASS Basic dictionary, there are fixes to issues in the ECLASS Basic importer in terms of Language dependency, LOV valency, attribute-classification filtering, IDs on LOVs and validation base types. Now, when running the updated ECLASS Basic importer, the ECLASS Basic data model will be updated. Initially, existing ECLASS Basic customers will not need to change their product data. However, in some special situations, the importer cannot make the desired data model updates because it would affect customer’s existing product data. When this happens, it will be logged in the import execution report and the customer will need to modify their data according to the execution log report, then re-import the ECLASS Basic file. For more information about these new messages and user actions, refer to the ECLASS Classification Import documentation here.

User to change their own password in Web UI without Maintain user password setup action

Now, users can change their password in the Web UI without having the setup action Maintain user password added to the user group to which they belong. To enable users to make this change to their password in the Web UI, the 'Force Authentication via STEP' setting must be activated via the workbench.

Administrators now also have the ability to change their own password and the passwords of other users when the Maintain user password and Maintain users and groups setup actions are added to the relevant user group.

For more information on password management, refer to the Changing a User Password topic in the Users and Groups section of the System Setup documentation here.

No white space around Summary Card thumbnail image

A number of issues related to display of the thumbnail image in the various Summary Cards has been improved. A new pipeline variant has been implemented that have made the following changes:

  • The white space around the Summary Card thumbnail image has been removed, resulting in an image display that more correctly depicts the original image.

  • The small blue icon that displayed on the thumbnail's lower right-hand has been removed to ensure retention of the original image's aspect ratio.

  • When users click on the thumbnail image in the Summary Card to display a larger-sized image, the image now enlarges to a 512X512 pixels; previously, the image enlarged to 96X96 pixels.

For more information on the Summary Cards, refer to the topics in the Below Title Component section of the Web User Interfaces documentation here

Enforce Validity for Add Action in Data Container

The 'Enforce Mandatory' parameter has been removed from the Global Data Container Representations component, and moved to the 'Add Data Container' action. This parameter is now called 'Enforce Validity,' and applies validation to data container creation in the same way as 'Enforce Mandatory' did previously. By moving the parameter from a global configuration option to a more targeted configuration option, is that data stewards now have the ability to manage and maintain data containers in a more granular way.

Additionally, colors have been introduced to highlight errors when populating fields in a data container creation dialog or in a data container table. When the 'Enforce Validity' parameter is enabled the 'Add' button will not enable if the fields has missing mandatory values or data container key attributes will be shaded red, and an error message will display below the field. These visual prompts compel the user to enter the missing values.

If data container key attribute values are missing inside of a data container table, then the cell is shaded red to indicate the error.

For more information on data containers, refer to the Globally Configured Multi Edit Data Container topic in the Data Containers in Web UI section of the Web User Interfaces documentation here

Bugfixes

ISSUE-464212 - Fix for attribute transformations in STEP Publisher

The problem was observed in InDesign when placing a product on a page. The product template used contained a frame placing the object name of the product and a transformation was applied. The transformation was defined as "Replace every match of  'X' with 'Y'."

If 'Y' started with an image tag, both the image and the target string from the definition of the transformation was placed on the page. The solution is to not place the unconverted target string.

ISSUE-465144 - Fix for export not keeping the manually sorted sequence of attributes in Attribute groups

When exporting attribute groups using the STEPXML Splitter post-processor, child nodes were always sorted lexicographically, even if 'Manually Sorted' was selected in workbench. Now, 'Manually Sorted' attributes are exported in the order they were given in workbench.

ISSUE-468786 - SaaS - Fix for post-processor 'Transformation by XSLT' generating a misleading filename

Fix for output filenames from the Chained Post-processor that were longer than intended. Output filenames from the Chained Post-processor are a concatenation of the output filenames from each post-processor. Previously, the parts were separated by an underscore (_). Now, a dash separates the post-processors from each other({_}-{_}), making it easier to identify each post -processor.

Also, now the XSLT post-processor output files can have a '.csv' extension by specifying the attributes method="text" and media-type="text/csv" in the xsl:output element of the XSLT stylesheet.
