PhixFlow

PhixFlow version 7.2.0 is the first release of the design component of PhixFlow in the new GUI. This presents the design component with a new look a feel, for designing models and applications. This also provides the design component in the new front end technology (HTML5, rather than flash), so that all of PhixFlow is now available in the new technology.

At this version of PhixFlow, the old flash-based GUI is still available.

Features and Improvements

URLs for opening PhixFlow and applications

Is is now possible to control some features of Oracle logging from the PhixFlow application.



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.

Try function

The try() attribute function sometimes handled a failure of its first parameter incorrectly, reporting instead 'Stack Corrupted'. For example, if the expression being tested attempted a divide by zero. This is now fixed, and in such cases an error will be detected, and the expression in the failure argument of the try() function will be evaluated.
