New features

• UBIK^® View Items provide the possibility to configure the data that should be (pre)loaded by a View when initiating a View Cache. Using this mechanism gives the customizer a very powerful instrument to tailor the preloading behavior for project-specific needs.
• UBIK^® View Cache Launcher has a possibility to configure a timespan in which the launcher stays inactive (See View Cache Launcher).
• UBIK^® Contexts can derive from each other now. Using this technique can reduce the amount of necessary work when configuring ACM and much more important, will increase maintainability.
• UBIK^® Views can derive from each other now. Using this technique can reduce the amount of necessary work when configuring Views and much more important, will increase maintainability.
• UBIK^® provides the possibility to distribute customizing related binaries via the database now. They do not need to be stored on a server file share anymore.
• UBIK^® supports Shape files for for representing geospatial vector data on the map now (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles)
  • Map Shape Classification Object
• UBIK^® supports the configuration of objects being automatically synced (make offline available) on clients
  • Offline Sync Configuration Classification Object
• Improved Group Rights Evaluation
  • WebServer Setting UBIK.Service.GroupRightsUpdateIntervall provides the possibility to configure the reload interval fully independent from the Validity Periode now
  • A possibility to trigger a reload of the UserGroups, Logins, and their rights via Custom Code is provided now.
  • The reload of UserGroups, Logins, and their rights is managed in the background now, which improves the WebServer performance
• UBIK^® provides a set of new features to provide the client with additional information about the current Login
  • UBIK^® Web Service provides the possibility to fetch detailed information about the current login
  • If configured, the current login is delivered as part of the infrastructure. The data can be easily be used by the client then
  • The Classification Login Classification identifies logins as such. The classification does not insist on the Passwordhash Property anymore.
• UBIK^® supports clients working with and sending data from different time zones
  • A database setting gives the possibility to configure the timezone data - values are stored in the database (downward compatibility)

• Extended the UBIK^® OSIPI Plugin to be able to read data from the OSIsoft Cloud Services (OCS).
• There is a new customizable event "OnBeforeRevertUnsavedChanges" which is triggered just before unsaved changes of one object get reverted
• UBIK Interface management provdies a possibility to schedule the execution of an interface task now
• UBIK^® supports to the change the type (MetaClass) of an instance event if it was already created. This provides a full set of new possibilities for the customizing as well as being able to react on new/changed project requirements
  • The mechanism to convert the type of one instance is used when importing proxies via the new member (FindOrPrepareProxy) on the Proxymanager.
• UBIK^® now provides ServiceLogins, a solution for managing service credentials to third-party systems easily and securely.
• [[HowTo:Configure_Dynamic_Selective_Lists|Dynamic Selective Lists]

Bugfixes

• A problem with autonomous properties not being filled when performing a branch download is solved now.
• Relation Editor uses the correct Icons when displaying MetaProperties now (consistent with Details View).
• DisplayList uses the correct Icons when displaying MetaProperties now.
• Having more than 500 MetaProperties in the database caused an irritating issue when trying to set the MetaProxy Property Target. This issue is solved now.
• System Selective Lists can be sent to the client now.
• A bug in providing Childowner - Info in combination with an active ViewCache is fixed now.
• Customized Property Values do not interfere with the change of properties on the Web Service anymore.
• A bug with incorrect ClassType in the NUMERIC_SEQUENCE instance is fixed now.
• An issue with remaining MetaProperties (in the Sandbox-table) after Metaclass is released is fixed now.
