New features

New setting: Enable 'Multiple set' [ID 43135]

In the Settings window, a new Enable 'Multiple set' setting has been added to the User > Cube section.

When this setting is disabled, it will not be possible to open the Multiple set window by performing one of the following actions:

  • Clicking the Multiple set command in one of the following context menus:

    • the context menu of an element in the Surveyor
    • the context menu of an element in the element list of a view
    • the context menu of an element shape in a visual overview

  • Clicking a shape linked to a multiple set command in a visual overview.

Default value: Enabled

Changes

Enhancements

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when loading trend graphs.

Current host of an element or service is now shown in Properties window [ID 42807]

When you right-click an element or a service, and select Properties, the General tab of the Properties window will now also display the current host, i.e. the DataMiner Agent that is currently hosting that element or service.

Scheduler: Support for memory files in scheduler templates [ID 42904]

When you add an event to the Scheduler timeline, from now on, you will be able to configure memory files.

If a scheduler template includes a preset comment (e.g. Preset="MyProfile") that defines a memory file entry named "Memory1" using the format Memory1="MemoryFileName", from now on, the corresponding memory file name (MemoryFileName) will be correctly assigned when the event is created in the Scheduler.

Example:

Preset="MyProfile" Parameter1="Value1" Dummy1="34/2" Memory1="MemoryFileName"

To display the value of a memory file in an event block, you can use the following syntax:

Display="{m:Memory1}"

Note

When events are moved within the Scheduler timeline, the memory file configuration is preserved. This will ensure consistent behavior, even when events are rescheduled.

Alarm Console: Enhanced performance when processing alarm focus information [ID 42938]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when processing alarm focus information.

Automation/Scheduler - Email action: Restricted use of placeholders in Subject and Message text [ID 42985]

When, in the Automation module or the Scheduler module, you right-clicked in the Subject or Message box while configuring an Email action, up to now, you would incorrectly be allowed to insert every possible placeholder in the text.

As most of these placeholders can only be inserted when configuring an Email action in the Correlation module, from now on, no placeholders will be listed anymore when you right-click in the Subject or Message box while configuring an Email action in the Automation module or the Scheduler module.

Note

When you are configuring an Email action in the Automation module or the Scheduler module, only the following placeholders are allowed in the Subject or Message text:

  • [dummyX]: This will be replaced with the name of the specific element you want to display. X is the dummy ID.
  • [user]: This will be replaced with the name of the user executing the automation script.

Automation: An error message will now be displayed when an error occurs while importing an Automation script [ID 43069]

When, in the Automation module, you imported an Automation script by clicking More > Import or by right-clicking and selecting Import, errors that occurred during the import operation would not be displayed in the UI.

From now on, whenever an error occurs while importing an Automation script, a pop-up window will appear, displaying the associated error message.

Services: Enhanced performance when editing services [ID 43122]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when editing services.

About box: Updated company information [ID 43167]

By default, the About box will now show the following updated company information:

In order to reduce flickering, a number of enhancements have been made to the way in which trend graph data is loaded.

Alarm Console: Enhanced performance when opening alarms [ID 43207]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when opening alarms in the Alarm Console.

Fixes

In trend graphs showing gaps in the trend data, in some rare cases, the data between two gaps would incorrectly not be displayed.

Cube would incorrectly try to display certain message boxes when running as a service [ID 43048]

In some cases, Cube would incorrectly try to display certain message boxes when running as a service (e.g. within SLHelper).

Problem when trying to open a view card in an EPM environment [ID 43049]

In EPM environments, in some rare cases, a view card could get stuck when you tried to open it.

Correlation: History of correlation and incident alarms would incorrectly always show the base alarms of the last update [ID 43072]

When, in the alarm card of a correlation alarm or an incident alarm, you selected a particular update, the data in the right pane would change but the data below Correlation sources of the previous alarms would incorrectly not change.

This issue has now been fixed. Also, the caption Correlation sources of the previous alarms has now been renamed to Correlation sources or Incident sources (depending on the type of alarm shown in the alarm card), and the side panel of the Alarm Console will no longer display correlation sources when you open a history tab.

Service templates: Conditions to dynamically include or exclude child element would be interpreted incorrectly [ID 43119]

When, while configuring a service template, you had specified conditional triggers to dynamically include or exclude child element, in some cases, DataMiner Cube would interpret the conditions incorrectly.

In some rare cases, an error could occur when loading trend graphs.

Alarm Console: Drag-and-drop editing button would incorrectly not be visible when you selected an incident alarm [ID 43328]

When, in the Alarm Console, you had selected the Show side panel option, the Drag-and-drop editing button would incorrectly not be visible when you selected an incident alarm.

Alarm card showing the details of an alarm storm alarm would incorrectly not list the source alarms [ID 43352]

When you opened an alarm card showing the details of an alarm storm alarm, the source alarms would incorrectly not be listed.
