What Is New in yuuvis® RAD 7.0

yuuvis® RAD 7.0 is the newest major version of our rapid application development tool for content-centric applications. It brings several new functions and technical improvements. Here is a brief overview:

  • Update of the database drivers
  • Update of Elasticsearch 
  • Update of the client and its libraries to a newer version of Angular
  • Optimizations of system maintenance 

Technical Improvements

We have updated the current drivers of the supported databases:

  • Microsoft® JDBC Driver 8.4.1 for SQL Server 2019 and former versions
  • PostgreSQL JDBC Driver 42.2.18 for PostgreSQL 12 and former versions

We have updated the Search Service, Index Service, and Structure Service for the Elasticsearch version 7.9.3. No reindexing is necessary, but your installed Elasticsearch must be updated as well.

We have updated the client including its library to Angular 11. Be aware that you have to update your custom client and adapt your own components as well.

Performance improvement of the BPM-Service due to upgrading the core-service to Java JDK Version 11.0.9.11. 

Technical Changes

  • The URL for calling yuuvis® RAD client as well as yuuvis® RAD management-studio has changed. See here what to do while updating to version 7.0: How to upgrade to yuuvis RAD 7.0
  • Changed body for OperationService.listRunningTasks and OperationService.getRunningTask. The produced JSON schema is available as endpoint documentation (REST-WS).

Changes of Labels

  • Some labels were changed due to user feedback.

New Maintenance Features

  • The session handling is optimized. Current sessions can be monitored on the REST-WS status page. To avoid DOS attacks, the maximum number of sessions for one user can be configured in yuuvis® RAD management-studio.

  • You can monitor the technical update tasks on the REST-WS status page.

New Features in yuuvis® RAD designer

  • A workflow model can be saved with a single click including all changes in all scripts and forms.

New Features in yuuvis® RAD client

  • The decimal values in the CSV export for form table data are formatted according to the language the user has set.
  • It is possible to format the process variables that are shown in the title and/or description of a business process, in the same manner as for DMS fields in the title of a document. The default formatting for some fields may be changed in comparison to yuuvis® RAD 6.16, so we advise to doublecheck the titles and descriptions of existing models and processes.
  • After successfully saving metadata, no notifications are displyed any longer and do not block certain buttons for a short preiod of time.

Deprecated Functions and Removed Features

  • Binary fields have been deprecated, since it is better to keep binary content as document payload (its content is searchable, can be rendered) of an object, so its use in projects was extremely rare. Projects that use this type will receive a deprecation warning. The field type will be removed with the next major version of yuuvis® RAD.
  • The deprecated functional rights "Assign global roles" and "Edit roles related to global domain" have been removed. These rights will be automatically removed from the server during an update to version 7.0. and they will no longer be included in  system snapshots created from an updated server. However, they may still exist in older projects located on local filesystems. In case that they are still present and an administrator attempts to activate such schemas, the schema and role set validation will show an error – they must be removed from the rights system prior to activating the schema and role set in a yuuvis® RAD 7.0 system or later (or a snapshot of an already updated system should be taken in order to create a project without these rights).
  • BPM Script: the deprecated script property process.responsible has been removed. It had been deprecated with the introduction of process.owners which can also be changed (unlike process.responsible which was read-only).
  • BPM-Service
    • The deprecated optional parameter "maindoc" has been removed in  the following endpoints of the bpm-service:

      • GET api/bpm/process/{processId}/file - get process file

      • POST /process/{processId}/file/{elementId} - create process file

      • PUT /process/{processId}/file/{elementId} - update element of process file

      • POST api/bpm/process"- get list of process instances that include documents (parameter of call) in their files

    • The following deprecated methods have been removed:

      • GET /api/bpm/process

        • The method GET /api/bpm/processes should be used instead 

      • GET /api/bpm/process/user 

        • core-service method BpmProcessService.getProcesses should be used instead 
  • Core-Service

    • The locationinfo parameter for DmsService.getItem has been removed. Use the contextinfo paramete  instead.

    • The renditionType parameter for MediaManagementService.assignBinding has been removed. This parameter is no longer necessary and has not been handled in previous versions.

    • The csmeta parameter for ResultService.getEsqlResult has been removed. Use the datameta parameter instead.

    • The internal endpoint InterProcessResourceService.getRendition has been removed.


  • No labels
