Enhancements in SPDRM v1.11.4

Data Model

It is now possible to define a rule that will act as a fallback for condition-based definition of accepted values, to compact the overall definition of rules.

Performance

Significant improvement in the performance of the script function dm.createDMItem.

System Configuration

It is now possible to narrow down the scope of the regular expression validator, to apply it only to values of properties (primary attributes), while saving data objects to SPDRM.

 

Known issues resolved in SPDRM v1.11.4

Data Management

Under certain circumstances, modifying the Status attribute of a Subsystem could erroneously lead to the corruption of the stored DM object.

Data Model

The -now deprecated- Conditional Attributes setting that might be defined in the data model to define allowed Status value transitions in the lifecycle of a DM item, would be ignored.

Data Migration / Archival

In case of data export in several packages from a source SPDRM environment, the relationships (links) between data objects included in different packages would not be retained during data import to the target SPDRM environment.

The import of a data package using the DM Import functionality might be interrupted under certain circumstances related to the use of special characters in properties/attributes of DM items and the use of ‘custom’ ACLs per type.

Users Management - Security

LDAP authentication would not work properly when multiple LDAP domain controllers were defined.

It would not be possible to set privileges on data based on one of their properties/attributes (e.g. Project), in case that the list of its accepted values was based on rules.
