Enhancements

Client machines running Cube now require Microsoft .NET Framework v4.6.2 [ID 25309]

Client machines running DataMiner Cube now require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Viewport and Navigate variables of a Resource Manager timeline will now be read and applied upon opening [ID 29299]

When, in Visual Overview, you create a shape that should display the Resource Manager timeline by adding a shape data field of type Component set to “Reservations” or “Bookings”, the Navigate and Viewport session variables allow you to control navigation and zooming within the timeline.

• The Navigate variable can be used to automatically navigate to a specified time range.
• The Viewport variable can be used to zoom to a specified time range and to visualize the time range to which you zoomed manually.

From now on, both variables can be processed immediately upon opening a visual overview with a Resource Manager timeline.

• Setting the Navigate variable using a page-level InitVar will make the timeline navigate immediately to the chosen time slot and clear the Navigate variable.
• The Viewport variable will always be read upon opening the Resource Manager timeline. In other words, if a session variable already exists in the scope in question (e.g. when the time line was opened while using the global variable scope), the timeline will automatically zoom to the last-known view port.

Note

The Navigate variable will be processed after the Viewport variable.

Mobile apps - Visual Overview: Linking shapes to webpages [ID 29444]

When you link a shape to a webpage using a shape data field of type Link, that page will be opened each time a user clicks that shape. This feature will now also work on visual overviews in mobile apps (e.g. Dashboards, Monitoring, etc.).

Enhancements made to the method that decides which subscriptions to forward to other agents in the DMS [ID 29490]

A number of enhancements have been made to the method that decides which subscriptions to forward to other agents in the DMS. These enhancements will considerably reduce SLNet CPE usage, especially on systems with a large number of active subscriptions.

Visual Overview: New option to keep real-time charts from showing exception values in labels [ID 29504]

In the ParametersOptions shape data field for a parameter chart showing real-time values, you can now use the VisualizeExceptions=false option to keep the display value for exception values from being shown in a label.

Shape data field	Value
ParametersOptions	VisualizeExceptions=true (default behavior) VisualizeExceptions=false

Notice will now appear in the Alarm Console when the initial synchronization of a DMA fails [ID 29532]

When, after adding a DMA to the DataMiner System, the initial synchronization of that agent fails, a notice will now appear in the Alarm Console.

Also, a number of protective measures have been added to prevent an agent that has not yet completed its full synchronization from being synchronized at midnight.

DVE elements notifications no longer added to SLNetCOM Notification Stack [ID 29601]

On DataMiner startup and hourly at report generation, a batch of notifications gets forwarded between DataMiner modules, ending up on the SLNetCOM Notification Stack. Up to now, two such notifications were also forwarded for every DVE element. These will now no longer be sent.

SLNetCom notification thread will now only start ignoring messages after a grace period has passed [ID 29631]

When the SLNetCom notification thread reaches a certain threshold (defined by MaxStackSLNetCOMNotifications), the DMA assumes something is wrong and stops processing messages, requiring a restart. However, in some cases, this threshold can be reached even when nothing is wrong.

In order to prevent this, a grace period has now been introduced. When the number of SLNetCom notification messages reaches a peak, the DMA will only start ignoring messages when the number of messages on the stack is equal or greater than the threshold during the entire grace period.

Using the SLNetClientTest tool, you can specify this grace period by configuring the SLNetCOMNotificationsStackExceedsThresholdGracePeriodInMin setting (default value: 1 minute).

DataMiner Cube - Element Connections app: Mechanism used to delete connections between a destination parameter and a non-virtual source parameter has been optimized [ID 29653]

Due to a number of enhancements made to the Element Connections app, the mechanism used to delete connections between a destination parameter and a non-virtual source parameter has been optimized.

Fixes

Problem when retrieving protocol-level TTL settings from the database [ID 28023]

When writing trend data to the database, in some cases, protocol-level TTL settings could not be retrieved. From now on, when TTL settings cannot be retrieved from the database, additional information will be added to the logs.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: DCF connections of hidden shapes would incorrectly still be visible [ID 28930]

Up to now, DCF connections of shapes that were hidden because of a condition would incorrectly still be visible. From now on, any connection that is linked to a shape that is hidden will no longer be displayed.

Also, hidden shapes will no longer be taken into account when grouping shapes.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: IDOfSelection session variable would not get updated when selected rows were removed or the selection was cleared in a ListView component [ID 29057]

When you select one or more rows in a ListView component, the IDs or GUIDs of the selected items are stored in the IdOfSelection session variable.

Up to now, when a selected row was removed or when the selection was cleared in any way, in some cases, the contents of the IdOfSelection session variable would not get updated.

DataMiner Cube - Resources app: Capacity parameter values would incorrectly be stored without decimals [ID 29082]

Protocols: Problem with SLProtocol when the save attribute of a table parameter was incorrectly set to 'true' [ID 29214]

When, in a protocol.xml file, the save attribute of a table parameter was incorrectly set to “true”, in some rare cases, an error could occur in SLProtocol.

At DMA startup, NT_CLEAN_SUBSCRIPTION_FOR_STOPPED_ELEMENT would incorrectly be called before all elements were fully loaded [ID 29257]

When a DataMiner Agent was started in a DataMiner System, in some cases, errors would be logged due to NT_CLEAN_SUBSCRIPTION_FOR_STOPPED_ELEMENT being called before all element were fully loaded.

Data would not get written to the backup agent after configuring a Failover setup on a system with MySQL databases [ID 29267]

When a Failover setup is configured on two DataMiner Agents with a MySQL database, after synchronizing the two databases, all new data should be written to both these databases. However, in some cases, new data would incorrectly not be written to the backup agent until after the primary agent had been restarted.

Automation: UIBuilder properties MaxWidth and MaxHeight would incorrectly not get applied to interactive Automation script pop-up windows [ID 29361]

In some cases, the UIBuilder properties “MaxWidth” and “MaxHeight” would incorrectly not get applied to interactive Automation script pop-up windows.

Dashboards app: Input boxes would extend beyond the borders of the screen [ID 29406]

In some cases, the following problems could occur with regard to Chromium web browser controls:

• When opened in a window on a high-DPI monitor, they would be scaled twice and the image would not match the mouse cursor.
• When displayed in a window that was moved from one monitor to another, they would not adapt to the new DPI scale.
• When displayed on a high-DPI monitor, they were rendered at 100% DPI and then upscaled, resulting in an imperfect image.

SLNetComNotificationThread: Delay between notifications [ID 29599]

In SLNet, up to now, the SLNetComNotificationThread had a delay of 15 ms between notifica-tions. In cases where a large number of notifications had to be processed, the total delay could be significant.

Incorrect in-memory state in SLDMS when removing an agent from a DMS [ID 29612]

When a DMA was removed from a DataMiner System, in some cases, the memory of the SLDMS process would be left in an incorrect state.

This could prevent actions like initial synchronization from working when setting up a new DMS or a new Failover environment that included the agent in question.

Elasticsearch: Problem when trying to create a customdata object [ID 29617]

When a customdata object had to be created in an Elasticsearch database, in some rare cases, multiple DMAs in the DMS would try to create the same table. This would cause an exception to be thrown on some of those DMAs.

DataMiner Cube - Data Display: Problem with dynamic parameter ranges [ID 29625]

When a protocol updated parameter ranges using an NT_UPDATE_DESCRIPTION_XML call, in some cases, the ranges could be reverted to an old value, especially when the PageUnloadOnNavigatingAway option was enabled or when the ranges belonged to parameters located on pages that had not yet been visited.
