Enhancements

Data Model

The data model now supports the definition of aliases that can be used to define custom names for model entities and rich library items.

GUI

It is now possible for the end user to easily download the SPDRM server/client logs, through the new option "Download Logs" in the Help menu.

MIMEtypes

Files with multi-extension (e.g. ".ansa.gz") are now handled properly through MIMEtypes.

Script API

A new script function "dm.restoreDeletedItems()" has been introduced to restore deleted items that still reside in the pool of deleted objects.

Users Management - Security

Users with "Administrators" role have now full access to all scheduled jobs, including the modification of their settings.

Web Services - API

The list of active sessions returned by the "Get logged in users" web service, will now also include the ANSA/META sessions, in addition to SPDRM Client sessions.

System Configuration

A versioning policy has been introduced for the BETA Apps Launcher application, to ensure its compatibility with the SPDRM Server. The version information can be easily accessed through the web page:
https: <BAL_HOST>:<PORT> /version

The new optional keys "user_script_cache_size" and "user_script_cache_path" are now supported in the client's configuration file, which can be used to define the size and the path of the client-side cache of script files that are associated to script actions.

Known issues resolved

Data Deletion

A deleted folder originally attached to a DM item would fail to be restored.

Script API

The creation of a DM item through script would fail if the target vault defined in the function arguments was different than the target vault of the current role of the user.

Web Services - API

A subsystem that was initially located in a vault different than the target vault of the current user, would not be saved properly after editing in ANSA.
