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
• 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

Technical Changes

• The URL for calling the client as well as the management studio is changed. See here what to do while updating to version 7.0: Necessary Actions When Updating or Upgrading to 7.0

New Maintenance Functions

• The session handling is optimized. Current sessions can be monitored on the REST-WS status page. And to avoid DOS attacks the maximum number of sessions for one user can be configured in the management studio.
• You can monitor the technical update tasks on the REST-WS status page.

New Client Functions

Deprecated functions

• 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 the type will get the deprecation warning about it. The field type will be removed with the next major version of yuuvis RAD.

Removed features

• The deprecated functional rights "Assign global roles" and "Edit roles related to global domain" have been removed. The rights will be automatically removed from server during update to 7.0, and system snapshots created from updated server no longer contain them, but they may be present in older projects that exist in local filesystem. In case that they are still present and an administrator attempts to activate such schema, the schema and roleset validation will show an error - they must be removed from rights system prior to activating the schema and roleset in a yuuvis 7.0 system or later (or a snapshot of an already updated system should be taken, in order to obtain a project without these rights)
• BPM Script: deprecated script property process.responsible was removed. It was deprecated with introduction of process.owners, that can be also changed (unlike process.responsible that was read-only).
• Deprecated optional parameter "maindoc" has been removed in following endpoints in 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"- getProcessesOfFiles TODO Bratislav - fix description
