Miscellaneous Bugfixes

A number of bugfixes have been applied as part of this release. Separate notes are generated for each maintenance patch. 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 Preprocessor 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-626629 - Fix for exception handling not executing correctly for an 11.1 system upgrade

Now, the tags formatting will be correctly displayed for the Web UI Node Editor Attribute Value component configured to display an LOV attribute with a checkbox or radio button override control type.
