Announcing the SmartFramework ERD Designer

We are announcing the availability of the SmartFramework ERD Designer

...

During our tests on OpenEdge 11.7.3 we have experienced the following issues: 

  • [SCL-2216] - 11.7.3 Visual Designer disabling properties of ABL user controls

The issue has been resolved by Progress Software with hotfix 007 for OpenEdge 11.7.3.

...

During our tests on OpenEdge 11.7.2 we have experienced two issues: 

  • [SCL-2007] - Correct support for WebHandler in CcsServiceManager

  • [SCL-2008] - Closing SmartWindowForm causes crash on OpenEdge 11.7.2

We consider it mandatory for customers using OpenEdge 11.7.2 to use at least the release #44166@2017release #44166@2017-11-27 of the SmartComponent Library. 

Due to an fix for

  • [SCL-1924] - SmartViewerControl: copy mechanism cannot cope with clob datatype

from Progress Software for in OpenEdge 11.7.2.001 we further recommend all customers to apply this hotfix as well. 

...

We have updated proparse with further enhancements in this release (see https://github.com/consultingwerk/proparse/releases/tag/4.0.1.1177). Please download the .NET Assemblies ZIP file from our ESD and replace the proparse.net.dll in your environment with the latest one. The new assembly reference is:

<assembly name="proparse.net, Version=4.0.1.1177, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=cda1b098b1034b24"/>

As proparse is used by our Business Entity Generator, this new version of the proparse.net Assembly is also relevant for customers not doing GUI for .NET development and require support for parsing new ABL language constructs.

...

When users with no Login Company set should be able to login using the SmartHybridRealm, it's required to set the Login Company Tennant Domain (similar to the field in the Login Company Maintenance) in the .restapplicationsettings / .applicationsettings, e.g.:


Code Block
 "DefaultAuthenticationDomain": "consultingwerk" 

This is required as the Hydrid Realm Interface from Progress does not provide the domain name to the authentication method.

SCL-2737 Resolved LogManager:WriteError duplicating error stack trace

Description:

The LogManager:WriteError API was causing duplicate output of the stack trace of the passed in error object. This has been resolved now.

SCL-2746 Fixed issue with resetting attribute value to "Inherited" which caused that not always the inherited value was displayed

Description:

We have fixed an issue that caused when clicking on the "Inherited" check box in the object instance property grid the instance's master attribute was only shown in the grid after switching from one instance to the other.

SCL-2747 Implemented a new endpoint to retrieve Object Master design attributes

Description:

We have implemented a new endpoint
http://localhost:8820/web/Entities/SmartFramework/Repository/GetObjectMasterDesignAttributes/857872d2-4eb4-b38f-3614-2191e8c7bf07
which returns the eSmartAttributeValueDesign temp-table for an Object Master (based on the GUID). This is a foundation for the implementation of our web based repository designers.

Improvement

SCL-2263 DatasetModel now supports calling into Business Entity method with signatures containing non VOID return value.

Description:

Based on the invoke-with-returnvalue template the DatasetModelGenerator now supports generation of proxy methods for non VOID business entity methods like:

Code Block
languageabl
@InvokeMethod (template="invoke-with-returnvalue") .
METHOD PUBLIC CharacterHolder TestMethod1 (poParameter AS IntegerHolder):


The template variabel &4 is used in place for the method return type. Note, that only (serializable) object types are supported.

SCL-2529 Now allowing changing SmartPage.PageSequence through ObjectMasterBusinessEntity

Description:

Previously the Object Master Business Entity did only allow changing the PageSequence of a page on a container through a speciaized method in the Business Entity. We have now opened of this restriction and allow manipulation of the PageSequence through the regular update routine.

SCL-2650 Performance improvements to the static names generator

Description:

We have implemented some performance improvements to the scl-sng utility (Static Names Generator). The improvements are based on a new variant of the ClassHelper:GetClassNames API and results in a significantly improved runtime of the utility.

SCL-2734 Implemented repository support for Screen-Size's on Grid-Columns (responsive design)

Description:

We have implemented support for the ScreenSize property on Grid Columns rendered in the MetaGrid object type.

SCL-2735 Removed references to GDI libraries from the Win32.cls

Description:

We have removed unused references to the GDI and other windows libraries from the Win32.cls. Those libraries had been accidentally been referenced by unused preprocessor variables.

SCL-2741 Completed repository support for MetaBusinessEntityCombobox

Description:

We have now completed the repository support for the MetaBsinessEntityCombobox by adding missing attributes for Business Entity data binding and implementing rendering support for those.

SCL-2742 SmartTempTableAdapter now updates Data Browser's sort indicators when the QuerySort is set

Description:

We've added support for updating the SmartDataBrowser's sort indicators when the QuerySort property is set.

SCL-2743 Implemented utility class to generate a temp-table include file from a table-handle

Description:

The utility takes the handle of a (dynamic) temp-table and an output (include) file name as well as the template name as an input and generates a temp-table compatible to the dynamic temp-table:

Code Block
languageabl
USING Consultingwerk.Studio.TempTableGenerator.* FROM PROPATH.

oGenerator = NEW TempTableGenerator() .

oGenerator:Generate (TEMP-TABLE eSalesrep:HANDLE,
                     "Consultingwerk/StudioTest/SCL2743/tt-salesrep.i":U,
                     "Consultingwerk/BusinessEntityDesigner/Generator/Templates/temp-table.template") .
{code:}<br/>
<h3>SCL-2744 Support for partialDataset property in MetaBusinessEntityLookup JSON rendering</h3>
<h4>Description:</h4>
We have added support for the partialDataset attribute required by the Angular Business Entity Lookup to the MetaBusinessEntityLookup type in the repository.<br/>
<h3>SCL-2745 Including PartialDataset setting in SmartFramework/GetSecurityRealmItemLookup</h3>
<h4>Description:</h4>
We are now returning the PartialDataset propetry as required by the Angular SmartBusinessEntityLookup though the GetSecurityRealmItemLookup REST endpoint. <br/>
<h3>SCL-2748 Attribute Maintenance now displays class names that use an attribute</h3>
<h4>Description:</h4>
We have added a new view (tab folder) to the Attribute maintenance that displays the object types referenced by the selected object type.<br/>
<h2>New Feature</h2><h3>SCL-2634 Implemented a user interface for the Static Names generator</h3>
<h4>Description:</h4>
A new UI to generate the Static Name Classes has been added to the SmartComponent Library Desktop. <br/> <a href="https://documentation.consultingwerkcloud.com/display/SCL/Static+Names+Generator">https://documentation.consultingwerkcloud.com/display/SCL/Static+Names+Generator</a> <br/>
<h3>SCL-2738 Added optional extended Logging to SmartUnit to detect Data Access Mock's left behind when executing Unit Tests</h3>
<h4>Description:</h4>
We have implemented events in the SmartUnit class which are raised before and after a test class or a test method are executed.  <br/><ac:structured-macro ac:macro-id="f5fe3d84-03c9-488b-b2b3-d668b8f107e3" ac:name="code" ac:schema-version="1"><ac:parameter ac:name="language">abl</ac:parameter><ac:plain-text-body><![CDATA[
    DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT AfterTestClass SIGNATURE VOID (e AS ExecuteTestEventArgs).
    DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT AfterTestMethod SIGNATURE VOID (e AS ExecuteTestEventArgs).
    DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT BeforeTestClass SIGNATURE VOID (e AS ExecuteTestEventArgs).
    DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT BeforeTestMethod SIGNATURE VOID (e AS ExecuteTestEventArgs).


The events can be used for additional logging and diagnostics. We have implemented a sample logging service
Consultingwerk.SmartUnit.Logging.SmartUnitLogging
which may be loaded using a services.xml file (Consultingwerk/SmartUnit/Logging/services_smartunit_logging.xml) into a SmartUnit environment. This sample implementation logs the runtime and PID (useful when executing tests in parallel) and alters when at the end of a test class mocks are left active:

SCL-2750 Implemented a REST endpoint to retrieve the default attribute value of a certain object type

Description:

We have implemented a new emdpoint to retrieve the default value for an object type's attribute in the SmartFramework repository. The endpoint is
GET http://localhost:8820/web/Entities/SmartFramework/Repository/GetObjectMasterDesignAttributes/MetaDataField/ENABLED
With MetaDataField for the object type (Name or GUID) and ENABLED as the attribute label

Code Block
languageabl
{
  "SerializedType": "Consultingwerk.SmartFramework.Repository.AttributeValue",
  "AttributeLabel": "ENABLED",
  "AttributeValue": {
    "SerializedType": "Consultingwerk.LogicalHolder",
    "Value": true
  }
}
