No longer supported.


This article describes new features, improvements and fixes included in this release of SystemWeaver. When upgrading, we recommend that all client and the server applications be upgraded as some bug fixes and/or enhancements require this. 

 

These release notes are also available in a Word document as well as a SystemWeaver XML file. Both are attached below.


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.

Grids/Tables: Script Language enhancements

A select attribute is now available for <RowObject> so that you can use a string value or a path query to obtain a string value as a result. 

 

<RowObject name="" select=""/>

 

A new StringValueColumn is also available that works together with the above.

 

<StringValueColumn width="auto" caption="column name" objectName=".. "/>  

 

In addition, the use of RowObject select=".." and StringValueColumn can replace the use of TextColumn with path query which will result in a performance improvement for grid generation. Also, the size of the definition becomes comparatively smaller and easier to follow.

 

Example:

<Table>

  <Columns>

    <ItemNameColumn width="200"/>

    <StringValueColumn width="100" objectName="type"/>

  </Columns>

    <RowObject name="type" select="'case1'">

      <Row/>

    </RowObject>

</Table>
