A number of bugfixes have been applied as part of this release. Refer to the entire set of 2023.3 (11.3) release and maintenance patch notes prior to installing or upgrading.
Fix for problems with Translation Status search (on In-Memory systems)
Customers were reporting issues with the Translation Status search option, specifically the translation status for attributes and LOVs. The search returned wrong results and was broken. This has been fixed and backported to STEP-10.3 and 11.0.
Fix for ECLASS Advanced: Import encountered node data error after node children while using business rules
Fixed the ECLASS Advanced pre-processor to correctly create STEPXML files when a product contains child products and values. This will prevent the error in the importer which occurs when it tries to import the file using Inbound Integration Endpoint with processing business rules attached.
Fix for Elasticsearch error with STEP 11.2-MP1
Now, a removed property (Elasticsearch.FeatureToggle.SupplierPrivileges) will not be mentioned in the warning message about a missing supplier setup for Elasticsearch. There is also a hotfix available for this solution that is applicable to saas-11.2 and elasticsearch-integration-7.0.29.
Fix for / change to Dun & Bradstreet process
Introduced a possibility to disable deletion of unused DnB candidates to avoid optimistic locking during the simultaneous DnB event processors execution. Contact Stibo Systems Support to enable this functionality.
Fix for data errors occurring during SaaS migration
Customers should note that when using the Cassandra database, do not delete the latest transition log entry for a given workflow and node, even if it is older than the configured retention time.
Fix for HAProxy not starting
The user was no longer present on the system. Now, the primary group of a user that started the loadbalancer frontend will be used instead of the hardcoded user group when creating the stats socket in HAProxy.
Fix for when asynchronous translation to Lionbridge is not working after upgrading to 11.2-MP2
Added proxy support to the tus client. There is also a hotfix available for this solution that is applicable to lionbridge-7.0.20 and saas-11.2.
Fix for PDX: attribute type is not setting as composite for the newly published reference attribute
When products are sent from STEP to PDX, composite attributes for asset references were not sent to PDX if the asset reference was dimension dependent. The references did not have a value in the default context defined in the configuration of the Outbound Integration Endpoint delivery, and the reference had a value in one of the other contexts exported by the Outbound Integration Endpoint. This has been fixed.
ISSUE-506586 - Fix for STEP InDesign plugin - after Database Update applied paragraph style is not correct
Fixed a problem with the InDesign client plugin. Previously, after a Database Update was applied, the paragraph style was lost when using a STEPCOND tag.
ISSUE-568480 - Fix for export current view not exporting 'Title Header' when using a custom label
Now, it is possible to export a title header from the Web UI Node List via the 'Export Current View' toolbar action if the header has a customized label.
ISSUE-580302 - Fix for Delete Reference showing in Web UI for References Properties
Fixed a problem occurring when Delete Reference action was available for a user without the privilege to delete the reference on a Web UI Node Editor's References component.
ISSUE-614734 - Fix for an error that occurred during updates to overridden products
When assigning an overridden product to a product override, STEP would reuse that relation if applicable. However, if the past overridden-product relation has been approved and then deleted, STEP would try to reuse the wrong past relation, which prevented assigning the overridden product, and gave an internal error 'Cannot subtract: Main.' This has now been fixed so that reuse is not implemented in cases where the relation cannot easily be found.
ISSUE-615780 - Fix for when upgrade (11.0-MP4) makes the system behave incorrectly for special character combinations
Introduced a possibility to disable tag escaping in Attribute Validated Parameters for Run Business Action dialog. To use this possibility, contact Stibo Systems Support.

Changes made for 11.0 and potential duplicate relation include: removed confirmed non-duplicates of a workflow compatible node before processing by task updaters; and remove duplicates with existing potential duplicate relation to avoid creating a PDR task without duplicates. There is also a hotfix available for this solution that is applicable to saas-11.0 and step-11.0-mp4 / mp5.
ISSUE-623750 - Fix for issues deleting old Primary Product Hierarchy (PPH) objects
Introduced a possibility to skip counting the children when purging the node from recycle bin in workbench. To toggle this property, contact Stibo Systems Support. There is also a hotfix available for this solution that is applicable to saas-11.2 and step-11.2-mp1 / mp2.
ISSUE-624180 - Fix for when logs are full with SecurityFilter Token expired warnings

Bugfixes and enhancements in the BMEcat solution
These enhancements were made as solutions to customer and internal bugfix tickets:
-
Running the BMEcat Model easy setup action now creates description attribute ISO-639-2 (ID = stibo_ISO-639-2), which is valid for both Entity type and Entity Reference type. This attribute stores the Language ISO Code for Language Dimension Points. If this attribute already exists in the system, then running the setup action adds it to the BMEcat Attributes group, making it visible in the Language Dimension Point.
-
The exported file now includes <LANGUAGE> tags generated based on the value populated in the ISO-639-2 attribute for each exported context's selected language. If no value is present in this attribute for any exported context, the <LANGUAGE> tag is generated based on the selected Locale (if available). In the BGP logs for each exported context, a message indicates the source of the <LANGUAGE> tag value, whether it originates from the ISO-639-2 attribute or the locale.
-
The OIEP allows saving the BMEcat export Output Template without having to select any language (which is not allowed in standard BMEcat export). However, upon invoking such OIEPs, the BGP terminates with an error indicating that mandatory contexts and the default context have not been selected, thus halting the export process.
-
Language field generated based on Sample field is no longer taken into account in <LANGUAGE> tags in the output file if there is any context specified. However, if a Language parameter exists and has a value in it, then the BGP warns the user that this value will be overwritten by contexts selected in 'Export Context for selected contexts' field. The error message states: 'Found a <LANGUAGE> tag specified in the sample. It will be overwritten by language dimensions selected in Cross Context Chooser field.'
-
BMEcat exporter is updated to correctly export all the block and attribute names based on the default context selected in the 'Select default context' field. Previously, some block and attribute names were exported based on the context selected in the workbench.
