Mashup widget

Description

A new Mashup widget has been added to the Widget Library. This widget shows a Mashup designed for use as a widget on the canvas.

Changes to Mashup Designer

Description
These are new mashup controls:
  • MessageBoxControl: This shows message boxes of different types. In addition to just showing messages, the results from Yes/No and OK/Cancel dialogs are used to trigger different events depending on what the user selected in the dialog.
  • ApplicationMessageControl: This is used to send and receive messages to/from other Mashups, scripts, or SDK features. Messages can be sent to a single recipient or broadcasted to many recipients. An example scenario is a Mashup that sends messages to another Mashup running in the new Mashup Widget, that shows some related or contextual information when the selection changes in the first Mashup.

Changes to Profile Editor

Description

New buttons are available in the Profile Editor, which will allow users to manually delete and add profile groups, application entries, and properties. The add/remove buttons are available only when the Profile Editor is in Advanced view.

This new functionality will allow users to manually add new settings for Mashups directly in the profile.

Changes to Mashup File Administration tool

Description

The Mashup File Administration Tool contains new buttons for exporting, deleting, and updating files.

It is now possible to upload a mashup component directly in the Mashup File Administration tool. This is an alternative to deploying mashups using LifeCycle Manager, if the mashup does not contain a profile section. When deploying mashups through the tool, user must manually add profile values, if the mashup defines profile values.

The recommended way is still to use LifeCycle Manager for deploy. If you want to use the tool, you need to select Enable Mashup Deploy in the Mango Core settings.

Category File Administration tool

Description

A new Category File Administration tool has been added to Administration tools. Due to the migration of server files to the database, the profile.xml and other system files are now stored in this tool. The tool contains files in different data categories. By design, most of the files can be connected to roles.

Changes to My Local Applications from Show menu on the canvas

Description

The My Local Applications window has been updated with a new Mashup tab, which will give users an overview of all installed mashups. This new feature is essential to those who create or develop mashups. To launch this feature from the Mashup tab, double-click a listed mashup, or right-click and select Open.

Support for authentication using the user@domain format

Description

Previous versions of Infor Smart Office use the format domain\user, which results in failed authentication in some systems. Now, Infor Smart Office uses the format specified by the end user.

Therefore, authenticating with user@domain will fail if the backend requires the domain or user format, even if it used to work in 10.0.5 and earlier versions.

MBrix has been removed
