Note

Variables of type Table can only be set to a static value.

Low-Code Apps: New 'Add row' and 'Clear table' actions [ID 41324]

It is now possible to configure the following actions:

Action Function
Add row Adds a row to a variable of type Table.
Clear table Clears all rows defined in a variable of type Table.

The Numeric input, Search input and Text input components now allow you to specify a default value.

To do so, in edit mode, select the component, go to Settings > General > Default value, and enter a value.

Video thumbnails of type HTML5-HLS with multiple audio tracks will now allow you to select one of those audio tracks [ID 41407]

Changes

Enhancements

Dashboards app: Enhanced performance [ID 41148]

Because of a number of enhancements with regard to file operations, overall performance has increased when working with the Dashboards app.

Low-Code Apps - Interactive Automation scripts: Redesigned UI components 'TextBox' and 'StaticText' [ID 41188]

The following UI components have been redesigned:

  • UIBlockType.StaticText
  • UIBlockType.TextBox

Currently, by default, the existing components will still be used by default to keep the UI aligned. If you want to use the new StaticText and TextBox components, then add the following argument to the URL of the low-code app:

?useNewIASInputComponents=true

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps: Pickers have been made more consistent [ID 41251]

When you create a variable of type DOM instance, you will now have to click Apply or Cancel after selecting a DOM instance.

In addition, the Link to data pickers have now been made more consistent. The Apply button has been renamed to Link, and will only be clickable when a valid link has been configured. Also, when you edit a link, an Unlink button will allow you to remove the link.

Web apps: Users will be redirected to the login screen when the connection cannot be restored [ID 41334]

From now on, when the WebSocket is able to reconnect but the connection itself cannot be restored, users will be redirected to the login screen.

Dashboards app & Low-Code Apps: New setting to enable or disable zooming in/out using Ctrl+Scroll [ID 41387]

Since feature version 10.4.9, the following components allow you to zoom in and out using Ctrl+Scroll. From now on, this behavior can be enabled or disabled in the Layout tab (in the Node edge graph and Service definition components) or the Settings tab (in the other components).

  • Line & area chart
  • Node edge graph
  • Service definition
  • Maps
  • Visual Overview
  • Timeline

By default, this option is disabled, meaning that you do not need to press Ctrl when zooming in or out.

Fixes

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps: Labels of lazy-loaded data would incorrectly not be displayed in edit mode [ID 41189]

When you were editing a dashboard or a page or a panel of a low-code app, the labels of lazy-loaded data would incorrectly not be displayed.

Legacy Reporter would leak memory when requesting history alarms [ID 41247]

Up to now, the legacy Reporter (SLASPConnection) would leak memory on every DataMiner Agent in the DMS when requesting history alarms.

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps - Alarm table component: Time filter would be disregarded when fetching history alarms [ID 41249]

When an Alarm table component was configured to retrieve history alarms, it would incorrectly always retrieve all history alarms from the database, regardless of what was specified in the time filter.

Dashboards/Low-Code Apps: Line & area chart component would incorrectly remain empty until it was resized [ID 41278]

In some cases, a Line & area chart component would incorrectly remain empty until it was resized.

Low-Code Apps: Problem when multiple users would continually refresh a page with a number of queries [ID 41316]

When multiple users would open a page containing a number of queries and then continually refreshed the page within a time frame of 5 minutes, in some cases, the following GQI exception could be thrown:

Maximum amount of concurrent sessions

To prevent this exception from being thrown, the above-mentioned time frame has now been reduced to 1 minute.

Dashboards app: Not possible to generate a PDF report based on a dashboard containing empty components [ID 41317]

Up to now, it would incorrectly not be possible to generate a PDF report based on a dashboard that contained empty components.

Dashboards app - Button component: No pop-up message would appear when clicking a button linked to a parameter for which a warning message had been configured [ID 41344]

When you clicked the button of a Button component linked to a button parameter for which a warning message had been configured in the protocol.xml file, no pop-up message would appear.

For more information on how to configure a warning message to be displayed when users change a parameter value, see Message element.

Important

In the Dashboards app, the Button component is available in soft launch, if the soft-launch option ReportsAndDashboardsButton is enabled.

Dashboards app: Variables and flows eligible to be dropped as data, filter or group would incorrectly not be highlighted in the 'Data' pane [ID 41367]

When, while editing a dashboard, you clicked a component's Data, Filter or Group button, variables and flows eligible to be dropped as data, filter or group would incorrectly not be highlighted in the Data pane.

Dashboards app - Column & bar chart component: Less axis labels were shown on PDF reports with a large paper size [ID 41408]

When you generated a PDF report of a dashboard containing a Column & bar chart component, up to now, the larger the paper size of the PDF, the fewer axis labels would incorrectly be shown on the chart.

Web API - GQI: Custom display values specified for cells containing Infinity or NaN values would incorrectly be overwritten [ID 41456]

When, in an ad hoc data source, a custom display value was specified for a cell containing a raw value equal to PositiveInfinity, NegativeInfinity or NaN, that custom display value would incorrectly be overwritten by "+Infinity", "-Infinity" or "NaN" respectively. As a result, the custom display value would never be shown in the client application.

From now on, when you specify a custom display value for a cell containing a raw value equal to PositiveInfinity, NegativeInfinity or NaN, that custom display value will no longer be overwritten. Also, when cells containing a raw value equal to PositiveInfinity, NegativeInfinity or NaN do not have a custom display value specified, then the following display values will be shown:

Raw value Display value
Double.PositiveInfinity Infinity
Double.NegativeInfinity Infinity
Double.NaN NaN
float.PositiveInfinity ∞
float.NegativeInfinity -∞
float.NaN Infinity

Web API: Not possible to initialize the file caches when using a dashboard gateway [ID 41559]

When a dashboard gateway was used, up to now, it would not be possible to initialize the different file caches used by the web API, causing the following error to be thrown:

The type initializer for 'Skyline.DataMiner.Web.Common.v1.Dashboards.DashboardsInterface' threw an exception.

Important

From now on, when a dashboard gateway is used, all local KML or KMZ overlay files should be placed in the C:\Skyline DataMiner\Maps folder of the DataMiner Agent. They should no longer be placed on the dashboard gateway.
