Changelog

​

Changed

• SO-1138: Opening the Definitions, Tasks and Task Configuration screens no longer queries the workflow engine once per definition and per task. The running workflow instances, their workflow actions, their variables, their current tasks, their audit history and the adjustment executions are now resolved upfront in a bounded number of queries, significantly improving screen loading times when the databases are reached over the network.
• PIVOT-14310: The dashboard SSE subscription (GET /sign-off/rest/v2/sse/subscribe) and the notification service SSE subscription now carry X-Accel-Buffering: no and Cache-Control: no-cache, no-transform so that reverse proxies do not buffer or compress the event stream. A buffering proxy delivers the sign-off and notification updates only when the stream ends.

​

Fixed

• SO-1144: Transactional CRUD operations no longer spawn many new threads when viewing the screens in realtime mode. The max number of threads are sized by the new sign-off.application.sse-executor-pool-size property (default 8).
• SO-1144: Opening many screens at the same time no longer leaves some of them without their initial data until the page is reloaded.

​

Changed

• SO-1110: Loading sign-off definitions no longer scans the workflow audit-log tables once per definition. Their history is now bulk-loaded for the required keys in a bounded number of queries, significantly improving performance when many definitions exist.
• SO-1122: The return type of ISignOffWorkflowStatusActionManager::getPendingApprovalTaskStatuses changed from a List<String> to a Map<String, List<String>> keyed by workflow type, because the pending-approval status differs per workflow. If you have implemented your own statuses you will need to change the type. See the migration guide for details.
• PIVOT-14106 Improved performance of audit history filtering.

​

Fixed

• LIM-2319: Fixed notifications breaking after running for several hours, where streaming the stored notifications for a new subscriber while another thread published could fail with IllegalStateException: Accept exceeded fixed size. The notification store is now backed by a concurrent map.
• SO-1122: Fixed the “Pending Approval” column on the Sign-Off Task Configuration screen always showing 0 for tasks created with the simple workflow. The simple workflow’s awaiting-approval state is INITIATED, but the count only considered PENDING (the awaiting-approval state for four-eyes workflows). Simple-workflow tasks awaiting approval are now counted correctly.

​

Fixed

• SO-1121: Task-only approvers (users in the workflow instance approvers group but not in the definition candidateGroups) no longer receive an HTTP 403 on the SSE subscribe endpoint (GET /sign-off/rest/v2/sse/subscribe) or when opening the process task approval window. The dashboard now loads correctly for users who can approve tasks but do not manage definitions.
• SO-1119: Adjustment execution and deletion failures were silently swallowed, leaving the execution stuck in a non-terminal status (PENDING/DELETING). Uncaught exceptions are now logged with their stack trace and the execution is marked FAILED.
• SO-1116: Adjustment audit records written by the status poller stored the executionId in the definitionId field, breaking definition-based audit queries and correlation. The definitionId is now persisted correctly.

​

Added

• SO-1118: POST /sign-off/rest/v2/adjustments and POST /sign-off/rest/v2/adjustment now return the identifiers of the created adjustments (id, executionId, and definitionId), in request order, so that clients can track the execution status of each adjustment.

​

Changed

• SO-1118: IAdjustmentService::createAdjustment and IAdjustmentService::createAdjustments now return the identifiers of the created adjustments instead of void.

​

Fixed

• SO-1118: ISignOffAdjustmentExecutionService::requestAdjustmentExecutionsAndPersistDefinitions returned an empty list instead of the created adjustment executions.

​

Changed

​

Fixed

• SO-1082: Fixed SignOff task getting stuck at EXPORTING due to a race condition where the export status poller could check the workflow instance state before the export details were persisted.

• SO-1111 Dashboard: Fixed the dashboard becoming unusable when the Sign-off server is unavailable.
• SO-1112 Dashboard: Fixed widget type switching not working in the adjustment analysis dashboard.
