New Graphical User Interface (GUI) for design component

This release is the first to feature the design component of PhixFlow in the new presentation technology, which uses HTML5 rather than flash. 

The design component has also been given a new look a feel, to support creating models and rich applications.

No longer suported

Features and Improvements

URLs for opening PhixFlow and applications

The URLs used to start PhixFlow in standard mode, or to go straight to an application, have changed. See /wiki/spaces/HELPTRUNK/pages/47218729 for details.

Performance

It is now possible to specify on a stream by stream basis

  • whether any indices should created during publishing
  • whether inserts into Oracle should be direct paths inserts

Bug Fixes

Cache refreshes after PhixFlow upgrades

It is no longer necessary to clear your browser cache after upgrading PhixFlow. Previously, in some cases after an upgrade, you would get an error telling you that the client and server version did not match, and to resolve this, you would need to clear your browser cache.

Analysis fixes

Recovery after cancellation

If an analysis run was cancelled then re-run, the following run would always fail as it tried to roll back the incomplete results of the first run. This is now fixed.

Lookup pipe failures sometimes ignored

In some cases, lookup pipe failures were reported but did not cause stream data generation to fail. This problem was introduced in 6.0. This is now fixed.

Features and Improvements

JDBC Drivers

The embedded JDBC drivers for Oracle, SQL Server and MariaDB (MySQL) have been updated to the latest versions compatible with Java 8.

New GUI Changes

Spellchecking, autoCorrect and autoComplete are now disabled in text areas and string fields.

It is possible to connect form elements with arrows.

Active Directory Integration

Active Directory group names are now matched to group names defined in User Groups and in System Configuration regardless of case.

Configuration Import/Export

The new configuration import/export mechanism is available for general use from the new GUI. The new mechanism has the following features:

Export then import recreates objects with the same internal ids as the originals. This is in contrast to the current mechanism which creates objects wth new ids. This means that objects transferred in partial exports overwrite the existing objects and no longer have to be manually re-integrated.

Objects can be collected into Containers (Applications or Containers). When a container is imported, it completely replaces all previous contents of the same container.

Improved performance.

Improved reliability.
