Feature Improvements
Technology support changes
Please also see Technology coverage changes in CAST AIP 8.3.x for more detailed discussion of this subject.
Upgrade
Upgrade batch file
A new parameter (PSQL_PATH) has been added to the CASTUpgrade_Config.txt file. This optional parameter is used to define the locations of the psql.exe binary that is used to perform the upgrade. See Automating the CAST AIP Upgrade process.
CAST Storage Service maintenance tools
A new parameter -psqlexedir has been added for the following tools:
- CSSBackup.exe
- CSSBackupAll.exe
- CSSRestore.exe
- CSSRestoreAll.exe
This allows the definition of an alternative location (for example, outside the CAST AIP installation folder) for the PostgreSQL binaries used for this tool:
- pg_dump.exe
- psql.exe
- pg_restore.exe
See Maintenance activities for CAST Storage Service and PostgreSQL.
Resolved Issues
The following table lists all bugs fixed in CAST AIP 8.3.10
| Call Id | Component/s | Situation | Symptoms | Internal ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13937 | Delivery Manager Tool | When packaging VB.NET source code in the CAST Delivery Manager Tool. | Missing DLLs that are referenced in the .vbproj are listed as "missing source files" instead of "missing library files". | SCRAIP-33581 |
| 14600 | When attempting to analyze Oracle 12C source code. | A syntax error is reported in the analysis log for "AS OF" statements. | SCRAIP-33846 | |
| 14890 | When analyzing Oracle PL/SQL. | The analysis log contains a syntax error related to code that calls external procedures implemented in C libraries - when the external library contains a dot operator (.) a syntax error is displayed. | SCRAIP-33984 | |
| 15167 | Server Manager - Install database | When installing a schema triplet in CAST Server Manager. | CAST Server Manager hangs when a custom log folder path has been defined in Castglobalsettings.ini which doesn't exist on the system. The CAST Server Manager log does not explain this. | SCRAIP-34144 |
| 15232 | Delivery Manager Tool | When attempting to package a Maven application using the CAST Delivery Manager Tool. | Alerts for missing projects are generated when the referenced projects are in pom.xml (in source) with packaging type "POM" but the pom file is available in the maven repository with dependencies defined. | SCRAIP-34158 |
| 15276 | When looking at the results of the rule "Avoid using hardcoded paths" - 7526. | The rule does not locate the violation in the source code (i.e. no bookmarks), therefore results are difficult to use. | SAP-129 | |
| 15455 | When looking at the results of a SAP/ABAP analysis. | Where ABAP includes are defined using a colon (:), the included objects are not resolved during the analysis, for example: INCLUDE: /code/some_code_top1, /code/some_code_ef01. | SAP-128 | |
| 15456 | When looking at the results of a SAP/ABAP analysis. | Unrecognized syntax causes unresolved objects to be returned. | SAP-126 | |
| 15457 | When looking at the results of a SAP/ABAP analysis. | Unrecognized syntax causes unresolved objects to be returned. | SAP-127 | |
| 15590 | Application Engineering Dashboard (AED) | When looking at the results of the rule "File naming convention - embedded Class - 562". | False positive violations are returned when the base class is located in a different file name. | SCRAIP-34273 |
| 15939 | CMS Snapshot/Analysis - Compute Snapshot | When attempting to generate a snapshot. | The snapshot generation process is stuck at "Update delta data into dashboard service", which translates to the procedure "AED_INIT_TRAN_VIOL_CNT_TMP_PRE". | SCRAIP-34379 |
| 16059 | Delivery Manager Tool | When packaging Eclipse based source where the .project file contains a reference for a .zip file (present in the folder of jars). | The CAST Delivery Manager Tool throws a "Missing source folder" alert even though the file and folder exist. | SCRAIP-34446 |
| 16152 | When looking at the default .NET entry points in the CAST Transaction Configuration Center. | VB.NET Methods are not listed as entry points. | SCRAIP-34478 | |
| 16173 | Server Manager | When attempting to upgrade from 8.2.8 to 8.3.6 when the source schemas (8.2.8) have had the "component re-install" option run on them using CAST Server Manager from CAST AIP 8.2.3. | The upgrade fails with the error "SQL Error: ERROR: column "check_consistency_date" of relation "sys_site" already exists ". | SCRAIP-34507 |
