What's New in Mongoose 9.03.10

Visual Studio 2013 no longer supported

With this release, we are no longer supporting the use of Visual Studio 2013. Users must update to Visual Studio 2015 to use it with Mongoose.

SQL Server 2016 now supported

With this release, we now certify support of SQL Server 2016. We still support previous versions (2012 and 2014) as well.

Option for SSO with dual authentication

We now allow SSO (Single Sign-On) even with dual authentication. Previously, if dual authentication was in place, SSO was disabled.

ION API authentication now provided from the Mongoose SSO session

Mongoose developers writing IDO extension class code and form script code can now authenticate to the ION API without having to separately provide credentials, provided the current session has been established with Ming.le CE SSO (Single Sign-On). To do this, we capture the Infor Ming.le CE credentials from the SSO and expose them to the Mongoose developer.

Durable sessions at the IDO runtime layer

Mongoose sessions are now durable at the IDO runtime layer. When an instance of the IDO runtime service is restarted, users will not be required to establish a new session. This change allows IDO requests to be routed to another server in a web farm without interrupting end users who were originally bound to the first server. This can happen when a server in a web farm is taken offline (scale in events).

By default, the durable sessions option is disabled and the IDO Runtime Service behaves as it did in previous versions - that is, when an IDO Runtime Service shuts down, it removes any sessions it owns.

To enable this feature, the IDO Runtime Service must include the /cloud command line parameter.

New IDO method for import of IDM credentials

We added an IDO method and class to the Mongoose framework that maintains the connection credentials for IDM (Infor Document Management) of a requesting user. This provides a central location for the IDM connection credentials. These credentials are necessary to access IDM and retrieve the desired report output.

To facilitate the administration of this class, we created a new form, the External App Parameters form. This form is generic enough to be used by other applications.

The ability to hide grid column headers

You can now hide the column headers for a grid or vertical grid component, using the Grid Button Height component property. To do this, simply set the value of the Grid Button Height property to a negative value (for example, -1).
