Note on issue keys
Each update is referenced with an issue key which is an internal reference. You can quote this to ActiveViam support if you have any questions about an item listed below.
2.2.0
Fixed Issues
The following issues have been fixed in 2.2.0:
| Issue Key | Details |
|---|---|
| [SO‑19] | Primary key collisions in tables for history objects have been fixed. Unit tests that could fail intermittently now pass. |
Changes
For historical records (records that extend the abstract class AHistoryRecordEntity), the primary key has been changed: it now uses the new HistoryRecordId class as implementation of the primary key. This avoids primary key collisions that could happen with database table definitions of previous versions of the Sign-Off Module.
Known issues
| Issue Key | Details |
|---|---|
| [SO–20] | The Sign-off Toolbox does not change to slicing date after the previous asOfDate filter is removed. |
| The Compute action to compute difference, average, and sum for selected columns is not working, due to the upgrade to ActiveUI 4.3.13. This will be fixed in the next release. As a workaround, create calculated measures manually. |
2.1.0
New features
4-eyes KPI workflow
A sample workflow with automated approval at initiation when the KPIs associated to a sign-off task all have a status of “1” (i.e. the status of the KPI is green).
For details, see Customizing sign-off backend
Fixed Issues
The following issues have all been fixed in 2.1.0:
-
Sign-off is now available for the previous asOfDates (change it using content editor).
-
Sign-off Tasks Definition widget now checks after any updates are performed on the table to update the state of the button.
Known issues
Synchronisation between database transactions
The synchronisation of transactions between the application database, the audit log database and the Activiti database needs to be improved.
With the current implementation of database transactions, some unit tests might fail intermittently due to the fact that the successive operations performed in these tests are done within a very short time frame.
Slicing date in Sign-Off Toolbox
Sign-off Toolbox does not change to slicing date after previous asOfDate filter is removed.
2.0.0
New features
Completely restructured application
The Sign-Off Module has been rewritten from scratch with a new, more modular architecture. The sign-off back end is now a standalone component and the sign-off UI has been put into its own SDK
For details, see What is the Sign-Off Module
Known issues
Sign-off is only possible for the latest asOfDate
(Sign-off for previous dates will be added to the next release)
Error in Sign-off Tasks Definition widget when clicking an action button
Instability sometimes occurs if no sign-off tasks are selected in the Sign-off Tasks Definition widget, clicking the action button (Archive/Delete/Publish) picks up the latest selected sign-off task and causes an error.
