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:

[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.

OpenEdge 11.7.2 compatibility

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@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.

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-4030 Disabled Sorting on TypeIcon column in OpenObjectMasterDialogForm

Description:

We have disabled the sort feature on the TypeIcon column in the OpenObjectMasterDialogForm - as the column does not support sorting in the backend anyway.

Improvement

SCL-3443 Option to add more meta-information to temp-table include files from Business Entity Designer

Description:

We have implemented a new plugin for the Business Entity Designer: Consultingwerk.BusinessEntityDesigner.Services.TempTableImporter

The plugin adds a comment at the end of the temp-table include files generated by the Business Entity Designer. This comment contains a JSON object with further information of the Business Entity Model (.bedgm file). This allows to import temp-tables including more meta information (e.g. Source Buffers, field mapping, etc.) into another Business Entity Model.

SCL-3943 SchedulerRuntime now raises events when job is started, stopped, failed, cancelled

Description:

The SchedulerRuntime class now raises the following static events

/**
 * Purpose: Raised when a job status is set to Cancelled
 * Notes:
 * @param e The JobStatusEventArgs with the details of this event
 */
DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT JobCancelled SIGNATURE VOID (e AS JobStatusEventArgs) .

/**
 * Purpose: Raised when a job status is set to Failed
 * Notes:
 * @param e The JobStatusEventArgs with the details of this event
 */
DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT JobFailed SIGNATURE VOID (e AS JobStatusEventArgs) .

/**
 * Purpose: Raised when a job status is set to Finished
 * Notes:
 * @param e The JobStatusEventArgs with the details of this event
 */
DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT JobFinished SIGNATURE VOID (e AS JobStatusEventArgs) .

/**
 * Purpose: Raised when a job status is set to Running
 * Notes:
 * @param e The JobStatusEventArgs with the details of this event
 */
DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT JobRunning SIGNATURE VOID (e AS JobStatusEventArgs) .

/**
 * Purpose: Raised when the job status changes
 * Notes:
 * @param e The JobStatusEventArgs with the details of this event
 */
DEFINE PUBLIC STATIC EVENT JobStatusChanged SIGNATURE VOID (e AS JobStatusEventArgs) .

when the status of a Job is changed. This does for instance support rescheduling a failed job from a Service loaded into the SchedulerRuntime environment.

SCL-3992 Template SmartDB export/import scripts now support SmartComponent Library in a PL

Description:

The https://consultingwerk.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SCL/pages/1894449153/Template+Scripts+for+SmartFramework+data+import+export now support the SmartComponent Library code base in a procedure library (.PL file). The PL is expected to be located in the SmartComponent Library installation folder (together with various XML, JSON and RESX files) and will be added to the PROPATH of the jobs executed as part of the Script.

SCL-3998 Implemented support for setting "pageable" to boolean value on the Angular Smart Grid

Description:

We have added a new logical attribute “pageable” for the MetaGrid class in the SmartFramework repository. This allows to disable the paging functionality of the Kendo UI grid component.

SCL-4017 Exposing CefSharp component from BrowserForm and BrowserControl

Description:

We have added a new property

/**
 * Purpose: Returns the reference to the ChromiumWebBrowser control
 * Notes:
 */
DEFINE PUBLIC PROPERTY ChromiumWebBrowser AS ChromiumWebBrowser NO-UNDO
GET

This property returns the reference to the actual CefSharp control wrapped by the BrowserForm and BrowserControl of the SmartComponent Library and allows direct access to all functionality of the CefSharp browser control.

SCL-4018 WebHandler of the SmartComponetn Library no longer parse the QUERY_STRING twice

Description:

Some of our web handler have been parsing the QUERY_STRING of the Web request, typically using the ListHelper’s AlternatingListToDictionary API.

This caused extra runtime efforts, as OpenEdge performs similar parsing within the WebRequest class itself as well. We are no longer parsing the QUERY_STRING ourselves and instead rely on the WebRequest URI’s GetQueryValue() method.

SCL-4021 LookupWebRendering no longer fails when Lookup bound fields not available in the viewer

Description:

We have improved the backend portion of the rendering of Lookup components to Angular so that when Linked Fields are not found in a viewer design, this no longer causes the rendering process to fail with an error.

SCL-4023 Improved locating of Proparse Treeview Nodes in Proparse Form

Description:

We have improved the locating of Nodes in the Proparse Treeview Form - especially when a keyword in the editor has been highlighted by double-clicking.

SCL-4024 Added a ProparseHelper method to remove a Node

Description:

We have added a new API to the ProparseHelper that supports to remove a Node from a ParseUnit by re-linking the previous node to the next node and optionally also the first child of the parent.

SCL-4025 Implemented a tool to convert MESSAGE Statements into DatasetHelper:AddErrorString

Description:

We have implemented a new Proparse NodeWalker action Consultingwerk.Studio.LegacyCodeMigration.MessageStatementToRowErrorConverterNodeAction that supports refactoring ABL MESSAGE Statements of a validation routine with calles into DatasetHelper:AddErrorString - including the conversion of multiple arguments into the MESSAGE statement with a concatenated string.

SCL-4026 Implemented a Proparse NodeAction that converts references to a variable into a custom expression

Description:

We have implemented a new Proparse NodeWalker action Consultingwerk.Studio.LegacyCodeMigration.ReplaceVariableNodeAction that supports replacing references to a variable (e.g. UserName) with a custom ABL expression (e.g. SessionHelper:UserName).

SCL-4027 Implemented support for rendering "serverSideSorting" property for Smart Data Source

Description:

We have implemented rendering support for the “serverSideSorting” property of the Angular Smart Data Source based on a property of the MetaDataSource class in the SmartFramewort repository.

SCL-4028 ExtractClassAnnotationsJob no longer has hard-coded dependency on Consultingwerk.Studio.ClassAnnotationParser

Description:

The ExtractClassAnnotationsJob clas now follows the DotNetAccessible setting in products.i to enable the dependency on the ClassAnnotationParser. When .NET is not accessble, we are using the XrefClassAnnotationParser instead.

This allows parsing of annotations on Linux based systems.

SCL-4029 extract-class-annotations.p no longer has hard-coded dependency on .NET GenericProcessingStatusForm

Description:

The extract-class-annotations.p job now follows the DotNetAccessible setting in products.i to enable the dependency on the GenericProcessingStatusForm.

SCL-4032 FileHelper:HumanReadableFileSize now supports the unknown value

Description:

We have added functionality to the FileHelper:HumanReadableFileSize API to support the unknown value as an input. For the unknown value we’re now intentionally returning “0 kB” as the human readable file size.

New Feature

SCL-4003 Provide the CefSharp component code as a git repo

Description:

We are now providing the whole .NET Source code of the SmartComponent Library in a private Github repository: https://github.com/consultingwerk/DotNetSource.git

For our customers this provides an alternative delivery model as the DotNetSource.zip is also accessible from the ESD website.

Story

SCL-4033 MockBufferDataSource now support 15 buffers too

Description:

We have extended the MockBufferDataSource to support 15 buffers. The previous limit was 10 buffers. This is now aligned with a recent extension of the BufferDataSource class.
