02/24/2020: v10.2b Enterprise Service Release Notes

02/24/2020

Enterprise Service Release v10.2b came out today. This release combines product updates and specific bug fixes as noted below.

Product Updates

• Wall Display (LCD Slideshow): Implemented the LRM property into the slideshow manager as a mandatory option. The LRM setting was a documented URL switch that was previously optional. Using LRM would clear the cache on the browser and improve performance to allow slideshows to run continuously without issue. 
• Reports: Added additional date formats when configuring a report.
• Data Hub:
  • Improved the performance for small ETL jobs (by not forcefully executing garbage collection within Java)
  • The Salesforce API was upgraded to notify the user when an unknown data type column is retrieved using SOQL.
• General performance and UI enhancements: Slow-loading spinner added to the Dashboard launcher, Drilldown permissions, etc.

Product Bugs

• Unlimited Web (guest user): Fixed an issue where the guest login would not work on mobile
• Builder Permissions: Fixed an issue where the Builder role could not build or edit charts
• Admin: Fixed an issue where updating the group permissions would not honor the new setting
• Color Selection: Fixed an issue where the Value and Saturation setting would decrease by 1 the next time a color was edited
• Reports
  • Dashboard Designer: Fixed an issue regarding the report button being disabled if a frame was not selected. Now, the button will be enabled even if a frame is not selected.
  • Reports: Fixed an issue where it was possible to run a report against a dashboard even if reports had been disabled on the dashboard.
  • Dashboards, without any charts, and without the configuration to display a screenshot on the report, would create an empty PDF. With this service release, we will now display the message: This report is empty because there are no charts to render and no cover page has been configured.
  • Parameters: Chart titles were not displaying input parameter values.
  • Parameters: macros were causing a problem but they shouldn't anymore.
  • Fixed an issue where Drilldown to Chart Report did not produce a report.
• Chart Parameters: An issue was fixed when the chart parameters were not being recognized within the Chart Title property (new charts only).
• Chart Designer: The mouse-over value on properties was restored in this release.
• iFrame Panel: Fixed an issue where Dashboard parameters could not be used in the iFrame URL.
• Data Hub
  • The ETL Load task had errors when using PostgreSQL if the database was configured with Quote Table and Column Names set to Off.
  • An issue was fixed that occurred when using back-to-back Combine Column tasks. 
• Product Evaluation: An undocumented problem existed with using v10.2a for the iDashboards evaluation process due to an issue with automatically updating a repository when using Derby.
