Changes

Enhancements

Errors or alarms will no longer be generated at startup when the DMS does not include an indexing engine [ID_36590]

From now on, when the DataMiner System does not include an indexing engine, no run-time errors or alarms of type "Notice" will be generated for ServiceManager, TicketingManager, ResourceManager and ProfilesManager at startup.

Also, when you open the Profiles, Resources or Bookings app in Cube, a message will now appear, saying that the DataMiner System does not include an indexing engine.

Trending - Relation learning: Clearer log information [ID_36760]

With the introduction of time-scoped parameter relations, two different light bulb icons can now appear in a trend graph: one in the top-right corner and another one whenever you select a section of the trend graph.

When the requirements of a light bulb are not met, an entry is added to the Cube logging. From now on, these log entries will make a clearer distinction between the "relation light bulb feature" (i.e. the icon appearing in the top-right corner) and the "time-scoped relation feature" (i.e. the icon appearing when you select a trend graph section).

Resources: Enhanced logging when function resources failed to initialize [ID_36763]

A more detailed entry will now be added to the Cube logging when a function resource failed to initialize.

Trending - Pattern matching: Enhanced error handling and performance [ID_36772]

Visual Overview: Warning message will now appear when you embed a visual overview assigned to a view in that same visual overview [ID_36791]

From now on, when Cube detects that a visual overview assigned to a view in that same visual overview has been embedded, a warning message will be displayed.

Services module: Enhanced linking to help pages on docs.dataminer.services [ID_36813]

Visual Overview: Warning message when embedding visual overview assigned to element in that same visual overview [ID_37078]

Up to now, embedding a visual overview assigned to an element in that same visual overview could cause an infinite loop, leading to the Cube client becoming unresponsive. From now on, when Cube detects that a visual overview assigned to an element in that same visual overview has been embedded, a warning message will be displayed.

Visual Overview: Warning message when embedding visual overview assigned to service in that same visual overview [ID_37082]

Up to now, embedding a visual overview assigned to a service in that same visual overview could cause an infinite loop, leading to the Cube client becoming unresponsive.
