This release includes various technical improvements, improved handling of sensitive
information and a bug fix to cope with a Service Optimizationdatabase restart.
Improvements
- Improved interpretation of the web client's administrative user settings.
- RemoveTransactionalInformationReport.xml now also removes information about report
instances being run.
- XML namespaces defined in Xoom configuration files (XoomConfig.xml,
XoomCustom.xml) are now automatically brought into the context of any XoomXML
files describing the configuration of managed systems. This enables, for example,
concise expressions for interpretation of web client forms and filters.
Sensitive information in the configuration
We have added a report –
RemoveSensitiveInformation.xsl – that removes some sensitive
information from
XoomXML.
- In Audit Definition setting we remove ConnectString attributes. These define the connection strings for
various external connections.
- In ClickForecast general settings we remove the connection
strings of data sources.
- In GIS providers list we remove passwords associated with
GIS providers for various countries.
- In Mapper destinations setting,we remove the password from destination credentials.
This report is intended primarily for configuration versioning, in cases where
sensitive information should not be stored, but can also be used when transferring
configuration to other environments that don't share authentication
information with the source environment. In the latter case, the correct information
will have to be added via other means (either an extra step during deployment, or
manually).
Bug fixes
- Scheme connection to the database is now reset if the database server gets restarted
(a restart invalidates the original connection with which the Scheme was initialised).
Previously, Xoom tried to use the original connection, resulting in error messages in the
event log and an inability to refresh or modify the Scheme.
