This release builds functionality on version 2.0, which marked the transition to the
major new version of .NET 4.0.
Features
- Scheme, infrastructure and data-entry matching support have been finalised for
Service Optimization 8 (or newer). The majority of core interpretations have also been added. This makes
this release the first Xoom version that is practically usable for Service Optimization 8.
- Settings Migration Tool now displays the XoomXML representation of the selected item in the
Export tab. This is particularly useful when quickly browsing through
items of the same kind to understand how they are configured.
- The XPath text box in Xoom Explorer now changes background colour depending on whether the result
is zero (white) or more (green) hits, or whether the XPath is invalid (red).
- Xoom Toolkit now supports a number of additional features:
- Xoom messages can now be sent to remote servers.
- Writing the result to an output file instead of the console is now supported. This avoids
the occasional mangling of Unicode characters in some cases.
- XSLT transformation (running a report) of the result of a Xoom call is now
supported.
- Added a report to remove transactional information from XoomXML. The main purpose of
the new report is in configuration versioning.
Improvements/changes
- Added detailed interpretation for a number of additional settings in both Service Optimization 7.5 and
8.
- Improved consistency of formatting XoomXML obtained via different Xoom client
tools.
- Xoom Console now deploys Scheme changes by default.
- Improved reliability of automatic data-entry matching for Rule, Objective and
Business Value Function interpretation. The Booleans are now also interpreted as Booleans, not
as numbers.
- The robustness of the installer has been greatly improved.
