Summary

Fixed UI bugs: Some UI bugs in the sign-off widgets have been fixed.
sign-intf artifact: The artifact sign-intf that contains the DTO classes needed for the communication between the Sign-Off module and the application server was omitted from the code delivery in the previous release. It is now present in the delivered code.
Sample workflow with KPIs: A sample workflow with KPIs for automated validation of sign-off tasks has been added.
Database transactions: The isolation of database transactions has been improved.

Added

Issue Key	Details
[SO-14]	Add transaction boundary on database DAO.
[SO-10]	Add 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).
[PST-634]	Sign-off is now available for the previous asOfDates (Change it using content editor).

Changed

Issue Key	Details
[SO-16]	Won’t show the tasks that are not valid for selected asOfDate in the dropdown in Sign-off Toolbox widget.
[SO-15]	It now shows only one message in the top-right corner indicating the task name and the status of operation (success, etc.)
[SO-7]	Sign-off Toolbox now updates in real-time in multiple browsers without the need to refresh the page or reselect the task.
[PST-635]	It now checks after any updates are performed on the table to update the state of the button.

Known issues

Limitations

Issue Key	Details
[SO-19]	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 those tests are done within a very short time frame.

Bugs

Issue Key	Details
[SO-20]	Sign-off Toolbox does not change to slicing date after previous asOfDate filter is removed.
