Release Notes

Bug fixes:

• There was a problem with validating the input data in some cases where there was a collection of a simple type.
• When exporting an image from the Shared Data Modeler, a model which contains resized complex data types, generated an image with an incorrect layout.
• Some links changed position when loading, saving and reloading the Shared Data Modeler.
• Creating and moving tokens while testing models was not working as intended.

New and improved features:

• Introduced an Event Library to define the emission and consumption of events using the AsyncAPI standard. This allows to connect to event technologies such as Kafka, RabbitMQ, Teams, Emails, …
• Events generated by the Digital Enterprise Suite are now exposed directly in the Event Library.
• Connector templates were added to the Operation Library dialog.
• A connector right side panel was added (some customer had early access to an alpha version of that panel). It allows to drag operations and events currently defined in the operation and event libraries into the diagram as well as dragging templates or preconfigured connectors from the Digital Enterprise Graph. Note to alpha users: DES Internal services have been migrated to custom FEEL functions and the send email functionality is now provided as an event template (no change required to existing models).
• The automation now supports using send tasks, receive tasks, intermediate throw events and end events that are connected to the events defined in the Event Library.
• Product licenses can now be assigned to groups by an administrator.
• It is now possible to load environment variables from a files in a folder to improve the security of the containers.
• Speech-to-text (voice) input for text fields in services forms.
• Data in the input context can now be used in the data output mapping of tasks.
• Creating assignment expressions will now provide smart completion based on the data type of the data object.
• The token used to represent a break point when testing a model is now different than a normal resume point to make it clearer that it has different interaction options.

Bug fixes:

• The workflow modeler deployment message for a missing interface does not link properly to the element.
• Fixed an issue preventing to use breakpoints when a data store content was copied to a data object.
• The data panel of the test functionality could display the wrong value for data objects with an assignment expression.
• The automation of a workflow process with an end event without an error definition would produce an error.
• The OpenAPI definition of a workflow service would point to a given version instead of the latest version for message endpoints.
• Could not change the header’s type of a relation in a multiple instance output mapping.
• The test cases saved when a time result ended with zero seconds created a serialization that later caused an issue when comparing execution results.
• For some rare warning and error messages displayed in the log viewer, a part of the message was hidden.
• In service forms, the feedback of sending an empty string vs. null has been restored.
• Links to terms were sometime failing in the Landscaping and Capability Modeler.
• Transformations were not removed on data associations when changing their directions.
• Fix the handling of some sentries in the Case Animator.

Non-Backward Compatible Changes:

• If your organization was relying on the legacy logs written to the ‘/data/des/logs’ folder, those logs are not being written anymore to the file system but instead integrated with the rest of the logs on the standard output.

Bug fixes:

• Signal links in emails could not trigger properly if the user was not a performer of the environment.
• The RabbitMQ connector could consume an unreasonable number of threads resulting in excessive resource consumptions.
• Re-using an element named using a term defined in a different graph could lead to a term not found issue.

Bug fixes:

• The indexing of some Knowledge Entity Models cause problems that prevent linking certain terms.
• It was not possible to create of boxed context for data types with a structure collection.
• Pulling base images of Digital Distributed Containers from a registry not proxying blobs could cause an error.

• Security fix Long Term Support release.

Bug fixes:

• Some decision models with a lot of elements can take a long time to include.
• Workflow models with circular dependencies could assume the wrong main model on deployment.
• Workflow models invoking process, decision or cases using a copy of link could incorrectly fetch dependencies when not synchronizing them in the modeler.
• The workflow modeler does not always properly display the initial values of data.
• Importing an operation from the Digital Enterprise Graph could incorrectly overwrite an existing interface.
• Renaming of a data type is not propagated to a decision table header in a boxed context result.
• The FEEL quick reference link in the side panel of the decision modeler did not point to the proper URL.
• Decision models with transitive dependencies to Shared Data Models cannot be deployed.

• Security fix Long Term Support release.

Bug fixes:

• Invoking a REST API without passing parameter caused a validation error that prevented deployment.

New and improved features:

• A wizard now allows to link terms in a model to a Knowledge Entity Model.
• A new Orientation Onboarding eLearning is available to administrators.
• It is now possible to restrict or dynamically define an enumeration when using a user task.
• Data types can now be filtered by tags.
• The model search now allows to search by tag.
• Support assuming roles for AWS Service Accounts.
• Case File items can now be used in the data output mapping of case tasks.
• When dropping a data type from on the canvas, the header will now better fit the size of the name.
• Sticky notes size is now optimized when creating them from Ideation or using the AI brainstorm.
• A warning will now let you know that you have unsaved work when leaving the modeler without saving.
• The last environment and group used for publication to the Digital Automation Suite is now kept for future publications.

Bug fixes:

• Data type enumeration reused through the graph did not guarantee the order of the elements.
• Collection and range of simple types could report errors where there were none using the always validation.
• Automatically fix some BPMN XML serialization mistakes commonly made by other modelers such as jBPM when importing into the Workflow Modeler.
• Improved the import of BPMN XML label positioning for models exported by other vendors.
• Fixed an issue preventing the proper data mapping of error events with assigned types.
• It is not possible anymore to delete case file items from the data mapping dialog.

Bug fixes:

• Decision tables with list of inputs could report an incorrect non-blocking error message.

Bug fixes:

• Case tasks that did not define a mapping when expected would generate an error at automation.
• Timers defined in a workflow model called from a case did not always trigger as expected.
• The RabbitMQ consumer prefetch value is now aligned with the number of executor threads to prevent message overloads.
• Storing a DMN XML in version prior to 1.6 through the Public API endpoint did not always import the diagram portion and did not trigger the Digital Enterprise Graph indexing.

• Services deployed to an environment with innactive triggers could have their triggers still innactive in the Digital Distributed Container.

• Fixed and issue where some data types could be duplicated when exporting to DMN 1.3 or less.

• The test and deployment could report an incorrect error message for collection of complex types FEEL expressions.
• The test could not properly start when the option to turn off the synchronization of dependent models.
• Generating a report from the term view could result in an error.
• The description visible option should not be offered for invocations inside the data mapping and assignment expressions.

• The DMN export for DMN 1.3 does not export list<?> data types because some engines do not support that DMN 1.3 feature.
• Decision table output defined as collections of a data type could result in a runtime exception when testing.

New and improved features:

• Knowledge models can now be included in the Knowledge Entity Modeler.
• Initial (default) value of Data Objects and Case File Item can now be expressed using assignment expressions in the modelers.
• When publishing a new version of a service, it is now possible to set an activation date for that version.
• The Digital Enterprise Suite and Digital Distributed Containers now supports using Service Accounts for invoking cloud services in major cloud providers (Amazon, Azure, Google Cloud Platform).

Bug fixes:

• Signals could not properly be triggered from the forms.
• In some cases, the workflow animator would stay active if we closed it on a gateway choice.
• The case animator was incorrectly placing tokens on knowledge sources.
• Folders could not be hidden on the canvas.
• It was not possible to expand the trace details on a multi-instance task test result.
• Missing data type references are not always depicted in red.
