Release Notes

Bug fixes:

• For certain license configuration, the DMN Test functionality was considered unlicensed and was not starting properly.
• In the modeling execution test (Wofklow and Decision modeler) and the form interface (launched from the Service Library) accentuated characters could be incorrectly rendered under some browsers configurations.
• A workflow model containing a human task with no resources defined could create an exception at deployment time.
• Importing an OpenAPI model that contains an enumeration of numbers import them as strings instead of numbers.
• Importing a BPMN model with an invalid association could cause an exception preventing proper import.
• Some duration values were not correctly serialized to Cloud Events which cause the Test functionality of the Workflow and Decision Modeler to sometime display the duration as a complex object instead of as a duration.
• Test cases containing a number were not properly backward compatible with previous releases and were loaded as 0.
• Copying from a model that used recursive data types could prevent the copy function from properly working.
• In a Distributed Container deployment, the root path of the container was not properly redirecting using the base.url preference when the x-forwaded-port header was sent.
• Environment variables can now overload Digital Enterprise Suite preferences.

New and improved features:

• Digital Modeling Suite graphical interface changes
  • Under the execution ribbon, the Cloud Publish button was renamed Deploy.
  • The Operation library, CQL and PMML includes buttons moved to the execution ribbon.

  • In the service detail dialog of the Service Library, the button position and grouping were slightly modified.
• The Test functionality of the decision modeler was redesigned and added to the Workflow Modeler.
  • The execution path is highlighted on the diagram.
  • It is now possible to add breakpoints before and after a task execution (workflow), on sequence flows (workflow), before and after a decision/bkm/decision service (decision).
