Release Notes

Following the release of the OpenEdge 11.7 Release we have completed our testing of the SmartComponent Library on this release of Progress and are proud to announce formal support for the SmartComponent Library on OpenEdge 11.7 with the 2017-04-24 release of the SmartComponent Library. Generally we recommend customers on OpenEdge 11 to upgrade to OpenEdge 11.7 quickly. Starting the 2017-07-14 release we are supporting OpenEdge 11.7 Service Pack 1 (11.7.1).

Starting the 2015-10-09 release the Business Entity Designer will feature a start page with links to most recent release note articles on this site.

With SCL-751 we have adopted native Enums for OpenEdge 11.6. To activate this feature customers must add a definition to products.i. SCL-751 provides details for this.

With SCL-1113 we have modified the templates for SmartWindowForms and SmartTabFolderPages generated from the Business Entity Designer. We have removed the initialization of the viewer controls SmartTableIOState property (value was set to "NoDataSource" within the InitializeComponent method). Customers using their own set of templates should adopt the same fix to their templates.

OpenEdge 11.7.3 compatibility

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

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

OpenEdge 11.7.2 compatibility

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

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

Due to an fix for

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

New Versions of Proparse .NET Assemblies (30 December 2018)

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.

This version of proparse provides additional debug information when errors are thrown from proparse.net.dll.

New Version of the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents Assemly (09 January 2019)

To support the new SmartFilterControl and the "Filter" link between the SmartFilterControl/SmartDynamciFilterControl and a SmartBusinessEntityAdapter or SmartDatasetChildAdapter we have updated the Consultingwerk.SmartComponents.dll. The new Assembly reference is:

<assembly name="Consultingwerk.SmartComponents, Version=2.2.0.49856, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=10603cb31df311b3"/>

Customers need to update this Assembly in order to compile the latest releases of the SmartComponent Library.

Hybrid Realm now using IAuthenticationService

We've updated the SmartHybridRealm class used for http authentication to leverage the IAuthenticationService. It is therefor required that for AppServers requiring http Authentication (e.g. REST or Web) the correct IAuthenticationService implementation is registered (using service.xml files).

Customers relying on the previous behavior should ensure that the Consultingwerk.SmartFramework.Authentication.AuthenticationService is regsitered as the IAuthenticationService. This implementation will auhtenticate users against the password stored in the SmartUser database table. 

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.:


 "DefaultAuthenticationDomain": "consultingwerk" 

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

Overview of included tickets


Bug

SCL-2614 Business Task methods are now listed in the RESTful Swagger

Description:

The RESTful Swagger interface (e.g. http://localhost:8820/web/SwaggerEntities/html ) now includes the @RestMethod's contained in Business Tasks and Business Entities.
When Business Task methods are configured to return a dataset as the method response, it's required to provide an XSD file with the ProDataset schema to be included in the method documentation, e.g.:

    @RestMethod (address="/GetCustomerAndInvoices", requestMethod="get",
                 parameterClassName="Consultingwerk.IntegerHolder",
                 response="poParameter,dsCustomer,dsInvoice").
    @RestMethod (address="/GetCustomerAndInvoices/~{Value}", requestMethod="get",
                 parameterClassName="Consultingwerk.IntegerHolder",
                 response="dsCustomer,dsInvoice").
    @RestMethod (address="/GetCustomerAndInvoices", requestMethod="post",
                 parameterClassName="Consultingwerk.IntegerHolder",
                 response="dsCustomer,dsInvoice").
    @ParameterSchema (datasetname="dsCustomer", schemafile="Consultingwerk/SmartComponentsDemo/OERA/Sports2000/dsCustomer.xsd").
    @ParameterSchema (datasetname="dsInvoice", schemafile="Consultingwerk/SmartComponentsDemo/OERA/Sports2000/dsInvoice.xsd").
    METHOD PUBLIC VOID GetCustomerAndInvoices (INPUT-OUTPUT DATASET dsCustomer,
                                               INPUT-OUTPUT DATASET dsInvoice,
                                               poParameter AS IntegerHolder):

SCL-2697 Added repository support für SmartDataBrowser:EditInViewerOnDefaultAction property

Description:

We have added the property Repository support EditInViewerOnDefaultAction to the MetaGrid class in the repository and added rendering support for it.

SCL-2698 Implemented repository support for Pass-Through Data Links

Description:

The MetaForm repository type now supports the definition of pass-through data-links from a calling form to an instance within the called form.
It's now supported to define the "PrimaryDataTarget" link from a MetaDataSource, MetaViewer or MetaGrid to the Customer. When the form is rendered, the rendering service will set the PrimaryDataTarget property of the form to the reference to the linked component.
When starting the form, developers can set the ExternalDataTarget property before the Form is shown.
To support the use of this, we have also added for variants for the LaunchForm method to the SmartFormFactory ( http://help.consultingwerkcloud.com/smartcomponent _library/release/Consultingwerk.Windows.Framework.SmartFormFactory.html) class.

    /**
     * Purpose: Launches a Form
     * Notes:
     * @param pcClassName The name of the Form to launch (static class name or repository object name)
     */
    METHOD PUBLIC STATIC Progress.Windows.Form LaunchForm (pcClassName AS CHARACTER):

    /**
     * Purpose: Launches a Form
     * Notes:
     * @param pcClassName The name of the Form to launch (static class name or repository object name)
     * @param poExternalDataSource The reference of the SmartDataSource to use of the ExternalDataSource of the SmartWindowForm
     */
    METHOD PUBLIC STATIC Progress.Windows.Form LaunchForm (pcClassName AS CHARACTER,
                                                           poExternalDataSource AS ISmartDataSource):

    /**
     * Purpose: Launches a Form
     * Notes:
     * @param pcClassName The name of the Form to launch (static class name or repository object name)
     * @param plModal Logical value indicating if the Form should be started modally
     */
    METHOD PUBLIC STATIC Progress.Windows.Form LaunchForm (pcClassName AS CHARACTER,
                                                           plModal AS LOGICAL):

    /**
     * Purpose: Launches a Form
     * Notes:
     * @param pcClassName The name of the Form to launch (static class name or repository object name)
     * @param poExternalDataSource The reference of the SmartDataSource to use of the ExternalDataSource of the SmartWindowForm
     * @param plModal Logical value indicating if the Form should be started modally
     */
    METHOD PUBLIC STATIC Progress.Windows.Form LaunchForm (pcClassName AS CHARACTER,
                                                           poExternalDataSource AS ISmartDataSource,
                                                           plModal AS LOGICAL):


A sample event handler using these new API's in a calling form may look like this:

    METHOD PUBLIC VOID OrderOverviewHandler (sender AS System.Object,
                                             e AS ToolClickEventArgs):

        DEFINE VARIABLE oDataSource AS SmartBusinessEntityAdapter NO-UNDO .
        DEFINE VARIABLE oForm       AS Progress.Windows.Form      NO-UNDO .

        oDataSource = CAST (CAST (THIS-OBJECT:Owner, 
                                  DynamicForm):GetInstance ("CustomerDataSource":U), 
                            SmartBusinessEntityAdapter) .

        oForm = SmartFormFactory:LaunchForm ("OrderOverViewForm":U,
                                             oDataSource,
                                             TRUE) .
    END METHOD.
