Note: Special attention should be given to the items highlighted in yellow as they will require additional planning/steps for your organization pre and/or post-upgrade if the view/tool affected is being used in your installation.

A new method

  SWDescription.IsEmpty(IswDescription description)

has been added to the Extension API to check if a description is empty or not.

A new method

  IswWorkflowDescription.GetConfig(IswIssue description)

has been added to the Extensions API to be able to get the workflow permissions for a given issue.

We have introduced a Contains extension method to AccessCodes so you can write:

ObjectAccess.Contains(...)

instead of:

ObjectAccess.HasFlag

This makes it possible for your code to be simultaneously compiled against both the Extensions API and ClientAPI.

The following four (4) SystemWeaver extensions are no longer hard-coded to the Extensions ribbon group: 

• SWExtension.ComponentGraph
• SWExtension.FaultTreeGraph
• SWExtension.ReqifRoundtripImporter
• SWExtension.RequirementsQualityMetric

This is a breaking change if you would like to have shortcut(s) to these views on a ribbon tab. 

To have shortcuts display on a ribbon, you must now add them to the ribbon group of your choice, and can utilize the available ItemView configuration element to do this. Example: 

<RibbonGroup caption="My ribbon group">

 <ItemView name="SWExtension.FaultTreeGraph.ItemViewContent"/>

 <ItemView name="SWExtension.ComponentGraph.ItemViewContent"/>

 <ItemView name="SWExtension.RequirementsQualityMetric.ItemViewContent"/>

</RibbonGroup>

Note that they will still appear in the View drop-down menu when activated by the selected item type: 

The instructions in the swExport application's Help are clearer and have been updated to cover Graph exports as well. 

There is now support for exporting a configurable Graph via command line using the swExport tool. Supported export file formats: 

• png
• jpg
• xps
• graphml

This tool's graph export functionality has no required meta model, or item structure. It is suitable for all configurable graph use cases, and provides support for specifying parameters. 

Because swExport can also be used for Document and configurable Grid exports, it is required to set the type attribute to "graph" for graph exports. See the executable's Help for information about options. 

Example Command Lines:

Using Username and Password:

swExport serverUsername="admin" serverPassword="wagadoff" serverName=sys7 serverPort=1355 type=graph fileFormat="png" filename="SystemModel.png" itemID=x040000000001C3D7 configItem=SI0167:SystemModel 

Using Network Authentication:

swExport serverName=sys7 serverPort=1355 type=graph fileFormat="png" filename="SystemModel.png" itemID=x040000000001C3D7 configItem=SI0167:SystemModel 

With parameters:

swExport serverName=sys7 serverPort=1355 type=graph fileFormat="png" filename="SystemModel.png" itemID=x040000000001C3D7 configItem=SI0167:SystemModel parameter="(ShowExtended;false)" parameter="(ShowEvents;true)" parameter="(EventsContext;x0400000000021411)

Example Result:

Document exports using the swExport tool now include content coming from: 

• Graphs generated using GenerateGraph in definition
• Component Graph (extension view)
• Fault Tree Graph (extension view)
• Jira integrated data (extension view)
  Note: The user must have saved a login for Jira in the swExplorer client.
• Yellow Graph view

Note: The output may contain an additional empty page if the graph does not fit on a page. 

It is now possible to use the Path Query Language in the configuration of the Workflow feature. The feature can now be run directly on the TopItem instead of looking for all items resulting in improved performance. 

To do this, add TopItem to the Workflow Activation SID attribute. Options are: 

• TopItem/PartSID
• TopItem.Handle

The database version identifies the version of the internal database schema used by SystemWeaver. With Lunden (R45), the version has been upgraded from 1.45 to 1.46. This is a breaking change. 

System Administrators use the swDatabaseManager to update the database version. See Updating the Database Version.

• Review the Prerequisites for the update operation outlined in above article.
• Maintain a copy of the original database.
• The database update operation takes less than 1 minute to complete.
• If you need to restart the Update operation, close the application in between update attempts.
• If running a mirror server:
  • Journaling must be cleared and re-initialized after the version update. Previous .swjournal file cannot be used.
  • New mirror .cache files must be created. Previous .cache files cannot be used.

Example upgrade from database version 1.45 (Olskroken (R43)-Kviberg (R44)):

Note: This fix was also included in Kviberg (R44). 

The CommMatrixImporterExporter extension view now supports the following: 

Signal Groups in a frame:

Multiplexed frame: 

In the below example, the Component attribute requires that the value begin with the letter "B". The issue cannot be created if a value not conforming to the constraint is entered.  

Single Enumeration attributes now display color in the New issue dialog. In addition, the attribute editor for single Enumeration in this dialog is now a drop-down that includes any existing description text.

There is now support for array of String attributes in the New issue dialog.

Note: Support for regular expression pattern constraints for array of String are not yet supported [15777].

There is now support for displaying attributes of type User in the New issue dialog.

In this release, we introduce an additional Notes tab to the Issue editor to make it easier to specifically view the progress of an issue when Request for status change is used. It appears only when the workflow includes one or more Request for status change. In such a case, two tabs will now appear: 

• A Changelog tab which lists all logged events for the issue (this is the same primary Notes view as in earlier versions).
• A new Progress tab which lists only events related to Status changes and Requests for status change.

In the above example, the status was first set to "New". Then, a Request to change status to "In Progress" was started and completed, and both Stacey Klein and John Smith have approved it and included comments. 

Longer approval/rejection comments and previous comments can be viewed in their entirety by hovering over the comment icon. as shown above. All Request related logged events also appear on the Changelog tab. 

If no Request for status change is used, only the primary Notes tab will display, as before.

A new Open process graph option has been added to the Workflow feature. 

Right-clicking on a Process in the Workflow feature and selecting Open process graph will open the Process in a new tab and display it graphically. 

<WorkflowConfig id="111">

 <ViewSettings>

  <Caption>WorkflowItemView Config 1</Caption>

  <RibbonGroup>Workflows</RibbonGroup>

  <Description>Tip</Description>

  <Image guiImage="31"/>

 </ViewSettings>

 <ProcessItem id="x04000000000050A6"/>

 <ProcessGraph configItem="SI0239:Process"/>

</WorkflowConfig>

Currently, when exporting a list of Groups or Users from the Setup Groups dialog, the only option is Export to CSV.
