Removed the StartTaskServlet entry from the web.xml file.


New files added for ContextLister (update the path of the cssconfig file), SessionFilter, EventInterceptor, and SessionInterceptor. Ensure that the EventInterceptor is mapped in the implclassconfig.properties file.


If file compression throws syntax errors, fix those errors. For example, regular expressions present as strings are treated as syntax error by the compressor. Refer the example given in the code snippet in Registering Custom Validation Types in Canvas.


If the following error occurs - "Invalid login Id. Entitlement provider reports that this login id does not exist.", ensure that the STATUS column in the OD_USERS_MB table is set to 'A' for the logged-in user. The 'LOGIN_CHECK_USER_EXISTENCE_SELECT_NICKNAME_MASTER' query expects the status in OD_USERS_MB to be 'A'.




After entering login credentials, the message user profile is registered successfully is displayed instead of logging in the user. Exception in the log, cannot update virtual column while executing UPDATE_USER_STATUS_UPDATE_REGISTER.

To resolve this issue, execute these triggers.




The following error occurred while processing INIT_ACTION for a view -
com.intellectdesign.canvas.viewdefinition.ViewDefinitionException: SYSERROR:Unable to create object for class 'NONE'.

To resolve this issue, update the instruction class name to 'DEFAULT' instead of 'NONE'.




To change the widget title dynamically, the DOM was accessed using the attribute portlet-header in the DOM. Now, the suggested mechanism is to use widget API.The DOM structure is changed.

In the row template, instead of 'this.VALUE' use this.record.<COLUMN_NO>.VALUE.


In the CTHome.jsp, the code related to updating the metadata based on last metadata sync time is removed.Metadata update based on metadata sync time is handled by Canvas framework in the latest release.

In the CTHome.jsp, there was code to include D3 charts which was causing the current session to terminate. Due to this code, all requests including log out did not work. To resolve this issue, the respective code was removed.


Mechanism to navigate to a workspace is changed.

Instead of using the existing mechanism:

Code Block
languagejs
iportal.workspace.metadata.getWorkspaceManager().ApplicationContainer.handleWorkspaceClick(workspaceid)

use the following mechanism:

Code Block
languagejs
canvas.launch(
{
	workspaceId : "<WORKSPACE_ID>"
});


The canvas.launch API is introduced to take care of rendering a workspace, sub workspace, app or form.

Radio Button form item is not rendering. To resolve this, update the ADDITIONAL_INFO_IND field value as 'Y' for RADIO_GROUP, CHECKBOX, CHECKBOX_GROUP form items in the FORM_ITEM_TYPE table.
