For
unknown reasons, sometimes when attempting to onboard an application
the legacy DMT "Set as current" step fails without any specific error
in the log. The following message is instead displayed in the Delivery
Report log: "The packaging in the Delivery has not been fully
completed. Please use the 'Manage the delivery' option to check the
status of the Delivery. The packaging must be successful and up-to-date
before the Delivery can be accepted". This error causes the onboarding
to stop, but using the "Resume Analysis" option, the analysis will
continue and complete without further error. This issue will be
addressed in a future release. |

Feature Improvements
| Summary |
Details |
| UI - Admin Center - Include Debug
Messages option |
The
behaviour of the "Include Debug Messages" option available in the Admin
Center (Applications > View details > Debug options) has been
modified: the option will return to the disabled position automatically
immediately after the next analysis job has completed. This is so that
debug messages are only made available in the analysis log file when
the are required: if the option is left enabled for all analyses,
analysis log messages can become very large. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Applications+-+Application+Details#AdministrationCenterApplicationsApplicationDetails-Debugoptions. |
| UI - Job Progress panel - Alerts - View
Remedy button |
Improvements
have been implemented to the "View Remedy" button for alerts displayed
in the Job Progress panel: 1) for "unanalyzed file" type alerts, a list
of unanalzyed files is now provided which can be downloaded, 2) for
analysis indicator alerts, on clicking the title of the alert, the
"analysis results indicators" section in the Overview page is
displayed, 3) for missing jars alert types, the names of the missing
jars is now provided which can be downloaded. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/AIP+Console+-+Job+Progress+panel#AIPConsoleJobProgresspanel-RighthandAlertspanel. |
| UI - Admin Center - Delete Application
behaviour |
When
deleting an application (single or in bulk), a new option has been
added to the warning dialog box called "Keep backup files" which (when
ticked) will ensure that any backup/Sherlock data on disk is retained.
See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Applications. |
| Technical - New Analysis / Snapshot
Indicator - Transactions with high number of objects |
A
new analysis/snapshot indicator has been implemented called
"Transactions with high number of objects". This indicator is available
after the analysis/snapshot is complete and lists transactions that are
highly complex with a large number of objects. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Application+-+Overview+with+Fast+Scan#ApplicationOverviewwithFastScan-available_snapshotAvailableIndicators. |
| UI - Admin Center - Global
Configurations - Alert Settings - Log Message IDs |
A
new section has been added to the Admin Center - Global Configurations
- Alert Settings panel called "Log Message IDs": this allows you to
create custom alerts based on a specific Log Message IDs found in the
analysis log - in other words, when a Log Message ID is added to the
list, whenever that specific Log Message is encountered during an
analysis, a custom alert will be displayed. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Alert+Settings#AdministrationCenterSettingsAlertSettings-LogMessageIDssection. |
| UI - Admin Center - Global
Configurations - Alert Settings - Request validation for all alerts |
A
new option has been added called "Request validation for all alerts":
when enabled, the option "Alerts have been reviewed and validated" is
added in to the "Job Progress panel", "Overview with Fast Scan panel"
and "Application - Logs panel, and until the check box is ticked, the
"Upload to Imaging" will not complete. The goal of this option is to
ensure that users do not ignore alerts that have been displayed during
the analysis process. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Alert+Settings#AdministrationCenterSettingsAlertSettings-Requestvalidationforallalerts. |
| Technical - Automatic UTF-8 conversion
feature |
An
improvement has been implemented in the "Automatic UTF-8 conversion
feature": if the
"application.sourceCodeFiles.conversionToUtf8.backupFiles" is set to
true and if over the time several versions of the same files are
delivered, their repeated conversion to UTF-8 will result in repeated
creation of backup files since their filenames are timestamped. To
avoid the accumulation of outdated backup files, once the conversion of
all application files to UTF-8 has completed, only the most recent
backup of each file that has again be converted to UTF-8 is kept. For
more information see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Configuring+the+automatic+UTF-8+conversion+feature. |
| UI - Admin Center - Glorbal
Configurations - Alert Settings - Thresholds |
A
new section has been added to the Admin Center - Global Configurations
- Alert Settings panel called "Thresholds": this section allows you to
modify the thresholds set for two specific alerts related to unanalyzed
files - see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Administration+Center+-+Settings+-+Alert+Settings.
In Console 2.9, these thresholds were configured only in the Node .yml
configuration file (see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/AIPCONSOLE/Configuring+unanalyzed+alert+thresholds).
If you have set custom values for these thresholds using this method in
Console 2.9 and you action an in-place upgrade to a more recent release
of CAST Console, the custom values will be lost and you will need to
re-set them using the UI in the Admin Center. |
