New Features

YEL-1099: Implemented static and dynamic link formatting for Topology Visualization.
YEL-2030: Added the ability to change number separator for the axis label in a Chart Visualization.

YEL-3219: Added the ability to mark a node variable as unused so the client/server can ignore it during validation for the node containing it.
YEL-3226: Improved reporting of secured variable usage issues on a pipeline node like the Node Variable issue reports.
YEL-3227: Added the ability for a user to be granted some admin privileges for other users, with no other admin privileges.

YEL-3261: Displayed administration page’s display name in the browser’s tab title.
YEL-3265: For JavaScript Pipeline Nodes, replaced dataProducerService.fetch() with a JavaScript wrapper, providing a more natural JavaScript API.

YEL-3268: Added API information exposed in JavaScript Server Actions to test the response of secondary server action request’s result (recordsAffected); can help determine, beyond server action executed, whether any records were modified (currently only reported on SQL Server Actions).
YEL-3270: Allowed client-side Search Field Filter to use display names from Table, List, and Timeline Visualizations. Also, sort the column list.
YEL-3280: Allowed download of client-side filtered data for a Visualization, instead of the entire dataset from the server.

YEL-3302: Allowed server jobs to be disabled in development environments (data.disableServerJobs=true in custom.properties).
YEL-3307: Reduced visibility of underlying errors when displaying failures to non-admin users. Only administrators should see information about the feed type or transform type errors. The client is given a messageId that can be given to an administrator to identify a more detailed error in the log. Admin users will still be presented with detailed errors.
YEL-3313: Added ability to upgrade content provided from a web or data adapter content bundle.
YEL-3314: Allowed the ability to change Visualization instance “No Data To Display” message.

Resolved Issues

YEL-2732: Resolved NULL value handling in dynamic constraints, resulting in better handling of Node Variables, Page Variables, and client-side filtering that use dynamic constraints with NULL data.
YEL-2979: Fixed issue where mapped LDAP roles assigned to the LDAP user were not showing in the provisioning Users’ Role tab.
YEL-2980: Fixed LDAP user’s login info in the edge log entry.
YEL-3086: Improved performance of account services with large user counts.
YEL-3201: Fixed deletion logic of Client Filters, Secured Variables, Constraints, Rule Sets, Palettes, and map layers where references were picked up on Pages, Visualizations, or Pipeline nodes. If the reference was removed, the components still acted as if they were referenced and deletion was blocked.

YEL-3215: Fixed the issue of renaming of a SQL transform’s source resulting in the SQL transform being broken. Also, allow SQL transform to use the same source more than once.
YEL-3232: Prevented creation of duplicate page or folder name under the same folder. Added drag and drop feature to allow users to rearrange folder/page order.

YEL-3260: Fixed partial restore to trigger full reset when it contains java libraries.
YEL-3260: Fixed module packaging to allow modules to extend other abstract Connection Types, such as JDBC URL connections. Resolves an issue where customer property files were used to register additional JDBC Connection types, but those entries were lost on upgrade to a new server installation.
YEL-3264: Fixed Oracle JDBC URL Connections not processing some dates properly and resulting in the wrong timezone offset.
YEL-3267: Improved conflict resolution reports on partial restore to prevent conflict reports when there were no differences.
YEL-3274: Improved error reporting in the login page when a session, domain, or user limit exceeded the licensed number.

YEL-3278: Fixed issue on editing a page (manage layout), in which the page gets moved in the top-level menu order.
YEL-3283: Fixed erroneous reporting of Page Variable not being used when it is used in the Visualization’s title.
YEL-3285: Fixed SQL Transforms query verification step to not block if there are unused data sources.
YEL-3286: Fixed issue in which Node Variable integrity reporting identified two instances of the same unused Node Variable.
YEL-3287: Fixed issue where adapter installations containing a content bundle should be upgraded on installation.
YEL-3288: Fixed issue where the adapter module fails to load due to appdef type lookup; affected LogicMonitor Rest Adapter.

YEL-3317: Fixed issue where breadcrumb text was disturbed when there is custom breadcrumb text and the user invokes a Show Visualization action and the browser’s back/forward button.
YEL-3318: Fixed a regression where the administrator could no longer create Overlay Map Layers.
YEL-3321: Performance/stability improvement applied to an internal database used for transforms and cached data results. Resolved issues where customers reported database lock timeouts.
YEL-3330: Fixed regression where edge.log no longer reported performance metrics.
YEL-3332: Fixed truncated WebSocket proxy messages where large responses were broken up into multiple responses.
YEL-3333: Fixed issue where Partial Backup of the page was not including actions called from advanced usage of server-side JavaScript Action configurations.
YEL-3334: Fixed DB2 database adapter connection configuration.
YEL-3335: Updated the Node Variable mapping panel to be hidden in the pipeline data preview step if all of the Node Variables’ mappings are set to hidden.
YEL-3336: Cleaned up additional ‘es_testmode=true‘ Secured Variables from being applied to Feeds and Transforms run from the Pipeline Test / Configuration steps.
