This page provides an overview of the new features provided with the major release and the expected preliminary results provided in our release candidates during the ongoing building process. The Release Candidate are for non-productive use only.

Features

Here you will find some of the new release's highlights. Check out the Change Log for further information on all changes.

Please also pay attention to the Breaking Changes and Update Instructions 2023 Spring.

Core

Assigning SOTs without Schema References

The system base type system:document that only has system properties can now be instantiated. It is predefined in the global schema that is available for all tenants and cannot be manipulated or overwritten. Thus, it is now possible to import objects with system:document as value for the system:objectTypeId property even if no schema has been defined before. As a new feature of this particular object type, it is not required to define references to secondary object types (SOTs) anymore. All SOTs that are defined in a schema are automatically available to be assigned to an object of type system:document. Nevertheless, the rules for the contentStreamAllowed attribute for the the individual SOTs have to be considered before they are assigned to an object.
>> Schema - Defining Object Types

Changing Deletion into Update by Webhook

It is possible to turn a deletion request into a metadata update via a webhook of type dms.request.objects.delete now.
>> POST dms.request.objects.delete

New Metrics Endpoints (KDDA)

The core system now offers the possibility to retrieve tenant metrics via API gateway endpoints.
>> Metrics

In this product version, it is possible to dynamically calculate the binary storage used by individual tenants. This information could be useful, e.g., for billing purposes. The number includes all binary content files assigned to a DMS object or an old version of a DMS object. Rendition files are not included. The used storage is initially determined from the database. Afterwards, the result is dynamically updated during each individual action that creates or deletes a binary content file. The dynamically determined number can be reset. The number will be redetermined from the database to initialize the dynamic calculation again. The following new endpoints are created in the API gateway:

GET /api/admin/metrics/{metric} - Retrieve the specified metric for the currently active tenant.
DELETE /api/admin/metrics/{metric} - Reset the specified metric for the currently active tenant. Not available for the storage metric.
GET /api/system/metrics/{metric} - Retrieve the specified metric for all tenants.
DELETE /api/system/metrics/{metric} - Reset the specified metric for all tenants.
GET /api/system/tenants/{tenant}/metrics/{metric} - Retrieve the specified metric for the specified tenant.
DELETE /api/system/tenants/{tenant}/metrics/{metric} - Reset the specified metric for the specified tenant. Not available for the storage metric.

The new endpoints' URLs contain the metric path parameter to specify the type of metric. In this product version, only the value storage is accepted.

Note: The AUDIT service now requires the redis profile.
>> Breaking Changes

Asynchronous Object Deletion

It is now possible to delete DMS objects asynchronously. The users' waiting time is reduced especially for deletion processes of objects with many old versions or large images as binary content files. The deletion request waits only for the success of the first deletion step: the objects to be deleted receive the OBJECT_FLAGGED_FOR_DELETE flag and are thus not retrievable for users anymore. Afterwards, a background process can delete the objects with this flag from the search index, database and repository (if necessary).
>> DELETE /api/dms/objects/{objectId} | DELETE /api/dms/objects

Note: The asynchonous deletion has to be activated.
>> Configurations enabling new Features

'greedy' Parameter for Batch Deletion

The endpoint DELETE /api/dms/objects accepts an optional boolean query parameter greedy. It specifies whether the entire deletion request should fail as soon as one object cannot be deleted (false - default) or not (true). Thus, it is now possible to continue with the deletion processing by deleting as many referenced objects as possible. In the response body, the users are informed about the success of the deletion for each individual object that was referenced in the request.

Note: The endpoint's response is different even in case of a default request with greedy=false.
>> Breaking Changes

Slide Renditions for Thumbnails

It is possible to create slide renditions for binary content files and store them in the rendition repository. Those thumbnail images can be used, e.g., for content visualization within hit lists in client applications. The following new endpoints are created in the API gateway:

GET /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/contents/renditions/slide - Retrieves the slide rendition of the binary content file that is assigned to the DMS object specified by objectId.
GET /api/dms/objects/{objectId}/versions/{versionNr}/contents/renditions/slide - Returns the content file's slide rendition of the DMS document object version specified by objectId and versionNr.

>> Renditions

Database Connections Optimizations (KDDA)

In the context of resources optimization measures, the number of database connections within the cluster is reduced. The individual services do not use their own database connection pools anymore. Instead, the connections are centralized now. The new default configuration is documented here:
>> application-dbs.yml

Note: This feature has been subsequently added to yuuvis® Momentum product versions 2023 Spring and 2022 Winter LTS.

Client Services & Client Development

Web-API Gateway

Export of Search Results (KDDA)

Usage of byte order mark (BOM) for CSV exports can be activated or deactivated via the api-web-prod.yml configuration file.
>> API-WEB Service

Default Sorting of Full-text query result list

For each object in the result list, the score is provided as object property. The results are sorted by their score values unless otherwise specified via sort parameter.
>> Search via Web-API Gateway

New idm-controller (KDDA)

The new idm-controller facilitates the fine tuning of access control for endpoints that retrieve user data. The following new endpoints are available:

The following endpoints in the user-controller have been deprecated and are scheduled to be removed with the next product version:

Manual configuration updates are required:
>> Breaking Changes

Configurable Role Filtering

The endpoints for role (user) retrieval exclude technical roles (users with technical roles). These roles can now be configured in the api-web-prod.yaml configuration file.
