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.

To set up user accounts for Entra ID authentication, enter the user's User Principal Name (UPN) from Entra ID in the Entra ID field in their user profile using the swAdmin2 client. 

As before, a user account must have at least one of the following login alternatives saved in their profile: 

• Network ID
• Entra ID
• Password

An Entra ID can only be used in one user account. 

Note: Althought not a breaking change, if an older swAdmin2 client is used, the Network ID value will appear parsed. We recommend using the new client.

The Statistics log now provides more information about Login events. As before, Login events for both the main and mirror servers are included in the main server's Statistics log.

Event type "Login" now includes: 

• license ID of the key that the user is assigned to.
• licenseCount of Read/Write licenses in use for the key
• viewLicenseCount of Read-only licenses in use for the key

Examples: 

{

    "time": "2025-10-07 10:46:27.5805",

    "seqId": "137",

    "sessionId": "3",

    "ip": "10.1.11.9",

    "userId": "x0E00000000000FF2",

    "username": "user1",

    "clientName": "swExplorer.exe",

    "event": {

        "type": "Login",

        "licenseId": "d9e8de7c-01e1-4b01-ba47-366003cfc9c9",

        "licenseCount": "10",

        "viewerLicenseCount": "1"

    }

}

{

    "time": "2025-10-07 10:45:02.9255",

    "seqId": "81",

    "sessionId": "3",

    "ip": "10.1.11.9",

    "userId": "x0E00000000000FF5",

    "username": "user4",

    "clientName": "swExplorer.exe",

    "event": {

        "type": "Login",

        "licenseId": "fd2f9f82-b83e-4329-96ac-bbb8c775361a",

        "licenseCount": "5",

        "viewerLicenseCount": "3"

    }

}

A new event type called "LoginDenied" informs when an attempt to log in was denied with the message "Login denied, no available shared licenses". It provides the same information as for "Login" above along with the message. This is applicable to shared license keys only.

Example: 

{

    "time": "2025-10-07 10:43:21.5438",

    "seqId": "0",

    "sessionId": "3",

    "ip": "10.1.11.9",

    "userId": "x0E00000000000FF3",

    "username": "user2",

    "clientName": "swExplorer.exe",

    "event": {

        "type": "LoginDenied",

        "message": "Login denied, no available shared licenses.",

        "licenseId": "fd2f9f82-b83e-4329-96ac-bbb8c775361a",

        "licenseCount": "10",

        "viewerLicenseCount": "1"

    }

}

Event type "LoginCount" is unchanged. It provides the total connection "count", and total license counts (all keys combined) currently in use for Read/write and Read-only:  

{

    "time": "2025-10-07 10:45:02.9255",

    "event": {

        "type": "LoginCount",

        "count": "19",

        "licenseCount": "15",

        "viewerLicenseCount": "4"

    }

}

This is a breaking change if you are generating the Statistics log.  For the upgrade: 

1. Save a copy of your current Systemite.SystemWeaver.TcpSubServer.exe.nlog in the main server installation. 
2. Then, replace it with the new Systemite.SystemWeaver.TcpSubServer.exe.nlog provided in the Configuration files directory of your upgrade delivery. 
3. As our example configuration files contain example file paths, remember to update the path in the fileName entries for both the default and statisticsLogFile targets. 

We now support Entra ID login with our Client API as well.

There is a new nuget package for using Entra ID login with the Client API. This nuget is called SystemWeaver.EntraID and  can be used together with SystemWeaver.Connection as an addon to enable Entra ID login.

To utilize Entra ID login you configure the AuthenticationMethod to the new enum value EntraIdAuthentication:

SWConnection.Instance.AuthenticationMethod = AuthenticationMethod.EntraIdAuthentication;

Notes: 

• With this release there is a limitation where the nuget package is not compatible with .Net Core which means that SystemWeaver.Connection.Core does not support Entra ID login.
• Support for use with the SystemWeaver RestAPI is not included.

A new command line application called SystemWeaver.swExport.exe is available for SystemWeaver Architect users which can export the “Architect” Statistics report. The output can, e.g., be included in an application which can run as a service on a nightly schedule when user activity is lower.

Example command: 

The output consists of three (3) .csv files:

SystemWeaver introduces a third alternative sign-in method beyond username/password and the existing Network ID authentication. Microsoft Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active directory) authentication can now be used in the swExplorer and the swArchitect clients and the ClientAPI. This update provides the added benefit of multi-factor authentication (MFA), Single Sign-on (SSO), easier offboarding, etc.

To utilize Entra ID authentication for SystemWeaver, there is one additional configuration file, Systemite.SystemWeaver.TcpSubServer.exe.json, needed for the main server installation which is provided in your Bö (R50) upgrade delivery. (A separate .json is not needed for mirror server installations.)

 Example:

{

 "AzureAd": {

  "TenantId": "b4444444-c222-3333-ba2a-6666666ab6ad",

  "ClientId": "88888888-eeee-4444-ace4-6555555be66c",

  "RedirectUri": "http://localhost/",      "Scopes": "User.Read;http://print.microsoft.com/PrintSettings.Read"

  }

}

1. Copy the provided example json file to your main server installation. 

2. Open the file in a text editor app and replace the dummy values for “TenantId”, “ClientId”, and "RedirectUri" with valid values from your Azure AD:

TenantId: (Required) The unique ID of your Azure AD tenant (organization).

ClientId: (Required) The Application (client) ID for your registered app in Azure AD.

RedirectUri: (Required) The callback URL that Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) will redirect the user to after they sign in or grant permissions. The redirect URI must be registered exactly the same in your Azure AD app registration under “Authentication” → “Redirect URIs”.

Scopes: (Optional) Custom scopes are also supported. If there is more then one scope, separate them with ";". 

2. Save your changes and remove the .example suffix from the file name.

3. Restart the server.

4. A SystemWeaver Administrator must enter the Entra IDs in the SystemWeaver user accounts.

Instead of just failing to start, the mirror server now logs when a database is too large to be used with in-memory cache on the mirror server.

A long-term solution is planned for a future release. 

We have improved the Statistics logging for configurable Report, Graph, and Grid views by including the selected parameters' values. These are now recorded in the log using the format: 

"parameter.<parameterName>": "<selected value>"

Example:

{

    "time": "2025-06-30 11:23:41.0231",

    "seqId": "0",

    "sessionId": "1",

        "callTime": "0",

        "config": "x340000000004A38B",

        "caption": "TestPara",

The first entry in a list is pre-selected only when it makes sense: 

Currently selected value is preselected upon loading the dialog when it makes sense:

Ensured support for use of Enter and ESC keys, and in many cases lessened the need to use the mouse, e.g., one can now filter to find an item type or library in the dialogs, and hit the Enter key to apply the first filter hit: 

Ensure the cursor is always positioned so you can begin typing upon loading a dialog, when applicable:

Improvements have been made to the Enumeration Single attribute type. 

The filter now matches results containing what you type, not just those that begin with it. Simply start typing to use the enhanced filter and find values anywhere within a value in the list.

In addition, the Delete key can now be used to clear a value.

Further improvements and changes are planned. 

The FMEA Pareto chart view offers a hovertip for column labels which is especially useful when labels are long. 

The default sort for Issue views is now set to ID ascending order by the client. This was most often the case previously, but in some corner cases the sort was different and could cause confusion. 

The client now sorts Private Issue views by name. 

If your organization has configured a SystemWeaver server to accept Entra ID authentication, you can click the Sign in with Microsoft button to use your Entra ID to log in. The first time that you log in, you will need to grant access to the application to use Entra ID. 

Next, choose the Windows Entra ID account to use for sign in. 

Note: Support for use with the swAdmin2 client is not included with this release. 

The version tree in the Merge branch dialog has a clearer and more modern style. 

In addition, versions that are already part of the main track "trunk" are now shown in gray font color while   branches that are not yet part of trunk are visually identifiable with black font color. 

The notes list in the view now displays approximately 6 lines of formatted preview whereas previously one line of plain text was displayed.

When a Parameter(s) selector is presented in a view, it's now possible to search for a value contained in a Parameter value whereas previously, returned hits were parameter values beginning with the searched value. 

Before: 

Now: 

There is now improved support for printing Chinese language Documents and Reports to PDF with bookmarks. 

We have made improvements to the right-click menu options in the Project Issue Matrix as well as fixed refresh problems.

In addition, the view now provides Refresh using the F5 key. 

To learn more about the Issue Matrix feature, see https://support.systemweaver.se/en/support/solutions/articles/31000158120.

Selection of Include deprecated and Include base item is now faster in the Select type dialog. 

In addition, after filtering the list and selecting to Include base items, your filter setting remains. 

• When you update a Role name, you need to manually refresh the name in the Roles list by clicking on it in the Name cell. 

• Ctrl+A to Select All in the Complete status view only works in the Name column. (Same as in R49)
