Metastorm BPM version 9.0 Service Release 3 (9.0.3) is now available. Some of the new features, changes, and fixes are listed below. Read the Release Notes for complete information.

UPDATED FEATURES

Password Obfuscation in the Administrative Tools

The passwords for Project Connections are encrypted for security reasons by Metastorm BPM. When

Project Connections are viewed from the Administrative Tools, the password parameter will be

displayed as encrypted.

This encryption will be applied to the following Connection types:

Database Connections
ODBC Database Connections
LDAP Connections
Web Service Connections

For solutions deployed prior to installing SR3, the password is not encrypted and displayed as plain text.

To encrypt the password, open the solution, modify the connection (for example, add and remove a

space in the Server Name field in the Define Connection tab of the connection), and redeploy the

solution.

Handling of Code Generation Error

The Metastorm BPM Designer uses background compilation in order to provide Intellisense and

validation capabilities for expressions and scripts. When the code generation fails, a notification is

displayed within the status bar of the Designer along with a tooltip.

Performance Improvements

Designer

General Component Management

There is a 25% to 35% improvement in the response time while opening, closing, and

navigating between different components of a Solution such as Forms, Form Segments,

Processes, Sub-Processes, Visual Scripts, Business Objects, and Reports.

Solution Management

There is a 30% to 50% improvement in opening Solutions containing 10 or more Projects

and Libraries.

Deployment

There is a significant performance improvement when validating large solutions during

deployment, which is achieved by caching the validation rules. In addition to this, the fix for

SR-11042010-0014 (which was included in 9.0.2.4) gives a ten-fold performance

improvement when deploying large Solutions.

Expression Builder

There is an option to show or hide the parameter list and help panes in the Expression Builder.

When these options are hidden, there is no delay in editing large expressions.

Current Limitations

The following features are not supported:

Data Access

While using Oracle as the database, only standard ASCII characters are

supported in table and column names. These names should only be in uppercase.

Extended characters, double quotes, or spaces in table or column names are also

not supported.

Business Objects do not support tables or queries to Oracle database systems

with columns containing spaces.

You will not be able to define ODBC Connections in the Designer that use 32-bit

drivers if you are running the Designer on a 64-bit operating system. The only

work around, in this situation, is to use the Designer on a 32-bit operating

system.

The Query Builder may fail when used for database providers that do not fully

conform to ANSI SQL 92 standards.

The use of the Update database rows Visual Script activity will fail when used in

conjunction with a Connection that is using the Salesforce.com OLEDB provider.

The workaround for this issue is to use a code activity and issue the command

with the use of the SelectSQL function instead.

This also affects the ability to add or delete rows of data from the Salesforce

remote repository via an OLEDB or ODBC connection if using a Grid within the

Form.

Administrative Tools

When you create a Web Service Connection in Designer, deploy it, and try to

view the Connections for the Project from the Administrative Tools, an error is

displayed.

This issue is caused by exceeding the limit on the amount of data that can be

transferred between Administrative Tools and Administrative Tools WCF

service. This limit is set in the Web.config of the Administrative Tools. To

change the limit, go to following section in the web.config:

system.serviceModel/bindings/wsHttpBinding/binding/readerQuotas. The

maxStringContentLength attribute value should be set to 2147483647.

External Forms

Support for External Forms is not included with version 9.0 SR3. This will be

enhanced and included with a later release.

Formula Language Evaluation Support

eFolder table query access

Database queries against the eFolder table using the %Script() syntax may fail.

For example, the formula displayed below fails when used to populate a dropdown

options field within the v7 News sample procedure:

%GetData(,eFolder,\" (eMapName = \'News\') AND

(eArchived <> 1)\", eCategory)

This problem only affects legacy database interaction through procedures like

%GetData. In order to correct this, the syntax should be converted into v9 syntax.

%ServerName

The %ServerName is always empty on v9 Engine.

%User.Input and %User.Input[n]

%User.Input and %User.Input[n] behavior has changed in v9. When selecting a

row in a Grid field, the data returned by %User.Input contains all data from the

Business Object that is bound to the Grid. In v7, only data from columns

displayed in the Grid is returned. Similarly, the index in %User.Input[n] refers to

the column index in the Business Object, not the visible Grid control.
