10 August 2020 Release Notes

Version 1.1.178. Note that version 1.1.177 was deployed to DataKitchen testing environments only.

Feature Highlights

Node Status Indicators Redesigned in Order Run Details

The Order Run Details page depicts a graph as it is being processed. When the page displays in the Node Status graph mode, each node is shown in a color to indicate its processing status. This release includes enhanced status indicators using both colors and icons, as well as tooltips, to differentiate states and follow user accessibility guidelines.

See Graphs Processing and Order Run Details for more information. [DEV-6660]

Node status indicators include icons and tooltips. Note the legend in this image.

Add Node Function Now Available in File Editor

A platform enhancement in this release provides File Editor users access to the Add Node module. Previously only available in the Nodes tab of the Recipes page and the Graph tab of the Variation page, this module now also opens as a dialog within the File Editor.

After adding a node, users must click the Update button to save the new node files. Note that users still have to connect newly added nodes in their graphs, either directly in the graph-setting-list object within the variations.json file, or by returning to the graphical view. [DEV-4716]

Users can now access the Add Node function from the File Editor.

The Add Node dialog opens in the File Editor.

Other Fixes & Enhancements

New System Variable Added: This release introduces the {{WarningCount}} system variable. This variable can be compiled any time and resolves to the number of warnings logged during an order run. It will be used for a new alerting function but is also available for use in recipes via variable drop-down lists or via direct input. See System Variables Reference for more information. [DEV-438]

Variation Metrics Display Properly: The previous release updated a library used on the Order Metrics page, and that update prevented the graphs from displaying. This issue was resolved immediately with a hotfix to correct the library. [DEV-6773]

SFTP Sink Validations Updated: While SFTP data sources require a key or wildcard attribute to designate files to load, SFTP data sinks can be referenced without configuring these elements. The system was generating an error incorrectly on valid SFTP sink configurations that did not include these elements. This issue has been resolved so that the keys or attributes are only required for STFP sources. [DEV-6614]

Order Metrics Page Error Resolved: When the Tests tab of the Order Metrics page included pass/fail test graphs, the platform generated a Javascript error for mishandling null values for colors. This issue has been resolved by setting the color to transparent. [DEV-6623]

Poll Interval Returned to Ingredient Node Config: User feedback to the newly released redesign of the Ingredient Node page revealed that the Poll Interval field was used more than originally thought. This field, which allows users to adjust the frequency that an ingredient node assesses the separate processing of an ingredient, has been added back to the Configuration tab. See Call Ingredients from Recipe Nodes for more information. [DEV-6760]
