New features and enhancements
New option in App Builder to display alternate values in Datagrid columns
Datagrid components in App Builder projects now have a option that you can use to display an alternate property value than the one actually being employed by a designated column. This feature is useful when the Datagrid column receives values in a cryptic form and you want to display a value that is more meaningful to the user.
New option to delete App Builder IDO tables with IDOs
When deleting an IDO from the repository in App Builder, you now have the option to delete the associated IDO tables at the same time. This feature applies only to IDOs that have been created using your Access As identifier.
Ability to access user information in App Builder projects
App Builder now provides a means to access user information within the project. Accessible user information includes the user name, any user description, the user’s locale and language code, and the current time or date stamp. This information can then be used within the App Builder project.
Reduced idle time when farm metadata cache is cleared
Previously, the waiting time to clear the farm metadata cache took longer when the number of sites available in the farm servers increased.
In this release, we made the call to discard all farm metadata cache asynchronously and reduced the timeout waiting period to eight seconds.
Enabled FormSync for Centralized Vendor Metadata Database (CVMD) configuration
FormSync now accepts CVMD configurations for both Source and Target configurations.
Enhanced DataView Expression Columns functionality
We improved the functionality of DataView Expression Columns by allowing the use of five basic summaries on DataView expression-based columns, when viewing the DataView in the foreground and on generated background reports. We also expanded the syntax of the five basic summary keywords to allow selection of only the rows in a group or all rows.
Ability to cancel or revert metadata updates in Web Designer
In Web Designer, you can now use the , , or buttons to cancel or revert metadata updates.
The cancel feature only applies to updates in the Global Objects and FlexLayout dialog boxes.
The undo and redo features only apply to updates in the Global Objects, except for shortcut menus, FlexLayout, Contained Components, and Form Pages dialog boxes.
Added attributes to Data Lake objects metadata
In this release, we added these attributes to the metadata for Data Lake objects:
- Identifierpath – An array of the primary key columns of the table
- Variationpath – The property containing the variation number
- Deleteindicator – The property for the DLDeleteIndicator
- TimestampPath – The property mapped to the RecordDate column
Added protection from stack overflows exceptions
We added protection from stack overflows exceptions that are initiated by IDO extension class code. Stack overflow exceptions unconditionally terminate the IDO Runtime service and impacts other services and tenants.
This enhancement monitors the number of nested or recursive calls into the framework by tracking calls to LoadCollection, UpdateCollection, and Invoke, and stop processing a request if the depth of calls exceeds 16.
Faster manual replication of mass transfers to Data Lake
We enhanced the performance of mass transfers to the Data Lake using the manual replication process. These enhancements include improved speed of data transfers and effective resumption of interrupted manual replication pushes.
