Enterprise Server 9.8.2 build 268
Release date: 30 May 2016
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.8.2 build 268:
The Workflow status for a layout or Layout Module can now be set to skip InDesign Server Automation. This is done by setting the 'Skip InDesign Server Automation' option for that Workflow Status.
Note: This option is only available for layouts and Layout Modules and only appears when the Enterprise Server plug-in named 'InDesign Server Automation' is enabled.
Figure: The 'Skip InDesign Server Automation' option for Workflow statuses.
For more information, see Setting up InDesign Server Automation in Enterprise Server 9, section 6 'Configure when the InDesign Server Automation should not be triggered'.
A new business connector interface with a callback for the creation of all types of InDesign Server jobs is now available. This allows integrators to write a very simple plug-in with a connector that is called just before any InDesign Server job is created. Some examples of what can be done in the plug-in:
- Overrule $job->JobScript by injecting your own JavaScript module. This allows you to for example perform preflight checking in InDesign after opening the layout.
- Based on certain conditions you can skip the creation of an InDesign Server job.
The plug-in is named 'InDesignServerJobDemo' can be downloaded from the plug-ins sample page. Use it as a starting point for your own plug-in.

Enterprise Server 9.8.0 build 239
Release date: 28 January 2016
New features
The following new feature has been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.8.0 build 239:
The Automated Print Workflow feature makes it possible for Content Station users to place articles and images on a layout as well as crop images.
This has the following benefits:
- Editors can immediately edit a story in the context of the page.
- The number of steps (touch points) in the workflow is reduced.
- The designer can focus on designing the layout instead of having to place articles.
- Less InDesign installations are needed.
Available features
The following features are available:
- Instantiate a Layout Template and place the content of a Dossier on it
- Place the content of a Dossier on an existing layout
- Place or replace an image
- Crop an image
Note: The Automated Print Workflow is especially useful for publishers of news papers and for publishers of magazines with a template based workflow. Placing content of a Dossier obviously requires a Dossier-based workflow and is therefore not (or less) applicable to publishers of glossy magazines and not applicable to publications that do not make use of a Dossier-based workflow.
See this feature demonstrated in this short video:
Rules and restrictions
- Articles can only be placed in frames that are grouped together in an InDesign Article and that have the correct Element Label assigned.
Step 1. Select all frames on the layout that belong to the same article.
Step 2. Access the Articles panel (Window > Articles).
Step 3. Drag the frames onto the Articles panel or click the + button in the panel.
Step 4. Assign Element Labels to each frame or — when these have already been assigned — make sure that the correct labels have been assigned. Each frame should have the label assigned that corresponds to the content that it is going to hold, such as 'head', 'intro', 'body' and so on. For more information, see Working with Element Labels in Smart Connection.
- Articles and images need to be assigned to the same Issue and Edition.
- Images can only be automatically placed when only one image is present in the Dossier. When multiple images exist, no images are placed.
- Spreadsheets are not placed.
Requirements
- Enterprise Server 9.8 or higher
- Content Station 9.8 or higher
- InDesign CC 2014
Configuration
Enable the following Server plug-ins in Enterprise Server:
- InDesign Server Automation 1
- Automated Print Workflow
Support for Oracle 12 has been added.

Enterprise Server 9.7.0 build 231
Release date: 28 December 2015
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.7 build 231:
Note: This feature is an integration of the SGLPlus Server plug-in which is available for previous versions of Enterprise Server on WoodWing Labs.
Generating layout previews, thumbnails, PDFs or DPS articles are tasks that by default are handled by InDesign during a save operation of a layout. This has the following downsides:
- When Content Station or InCopy users need a new update of a layout (for example to verify the changes that they have made to an article that is placed on the layout), the layout needs to be opened and saved in InDesign.
- Generating the files takes a long time and InDesign users have to wait for the process to complete before they can continue working.
The InDesign Server Automation feature makes it possible to offload the tasks of generating these files to InDesign Server. As a result, the waiting times for InDesign users is reduced and InCopy and Content Station users will have an updated layout preview available shortly after the edited file is saved.
This functionality is provided by an Enterprise Server plug-in.
The generation of preview files and output files can be configured on the following levels:
- Per client type: InDesign or InDesign Server
- For local or remote clients
For information about setting up InDesign Server Automation, see Setting up InDesign Server Automation in Enterprise Server 9.
Traditionally, the Adobe property 'Kicker' (used for displaying the section title of a magazine, such as Reviews, Features, or Editorial in the scrubber and in the Browse mode), was fed by values from the default Enterprise field 'slugline'. Because users had to manually enter the values, these values were open to errors and inconsistencies.
Enterprise Server 9.7 introduces the use of a custom metadata field of type 'list'. This way, users can select from a pre-filled list of values, thereby ensuring accuracy and consistency. For more information, see Integrating Adobe DPS in Enterprise Server 9.
Important: When already using the slugline field, upgrade steps are required. See Upgrade below.
Support for PHP 5.6 has been added.
Support for SQL Driver version 3.2 for PHP 5.6 has been added.
Support for ionCube Loader 5.0.14 has been added.
Changes
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 9.7 build 231:
PHP support
Support for PHP 5.4 has been dropped for Windows and Mac OS X, but is still supported on Linux.
ionCube support
Support for ionCube Loader 4.6.1 has been dropped.
ZendFramework
The ZendFramework that is shipped with Enterprise Server has been updated from version 1.11.12 to version 1.12.16.
configserver.php options
The following options for generating files have been moved from SERVERFEATURES to the new section named CLIENTFEATURES:
- CreatePageEPS

In previous versions of Enterprise Server, the default slugline metadata property was renamed to 'Kicker' to match the 'Kicker' field in Adobe DPS.
In Enterprise Server 9.7 a dedicated field is used, namely a custom metadata property of type 'list', named 'Kicker'.
During the upgrade process, Enterprise Server will detect if the slugline field was used and will offer to create the new Kicker field for all Dossiers used in an Adobe DPS Publication Channel and to migrate the content from the slugline field to it. Choose Yes or No depending on your scenario:
- Click Yes when a fixed number of values was used for the Slugline field and these values need to be migrated to the new Kicker field.
- Click No when no fixed list of values was used for the Slugline field, thereby making it a 'free' field. In such scenarios migration is not very useful.
After migration, the new custom property 'Kicker' will have been created for both scenarios.
Once the full upgrade is completed, manually perform the following steps:
Steps for both scenarios:
- Add the values previously used in the 'Slugline' to the list of the Kicker custom property. For more details, see Integrating Adobe DPS in Enterprise Server 9.
Steps when Yes was chosen:
Step 1. On the Dialogs Setup Maintenance page, do the following:
- Remove the old 'kicker' field ('Slugline (Kicker)') for the object type Dossier.
- Add the new 'Kicker' field (* Kicker) for the object type Dossier.
Step 2. On the Metadata Maintenance page, clear the display name of the Dynamic Property 'Slugline'.
Note: Even when you do not migrate the data, you can still republish a Dossier. This is because the following logic is used when a Dossier is published:
However, if you have added the new Kicker field to your dialog setup and have removed the old slugline field, you will not see this field in your Dossier properties. |
Upgrading an existing installation
For information about upgrading an existing installation of Enterprise Server, see Enterprise Server 9 minor upgrade. Also note the following:
- When running PHP 5.4, please upgrade to PHP 5.5 or 5.6.

Enterprise Server 9.6.0 build 194
Release date: 3 August 2015
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.6.0 build 194.
The functionality of uploading content from WoodWing Enterprise to the Adobe Digital Publishing Solution (Adobe DPS 2015) by using InDesign is provided through an Enterprise Server plug-in together with the use of Smart Connection plug-ins.
For more information see:
When a file is routed to another user or user group, an e-mail can be sent out by Enterprise Server. By default, the e-mail address and user name of the user who routed the file is used. In cases where a different e-mail address and/or user name needs to be used (for example because of security issues), a generic e-mail address and user name can be configured through the following options in configserver.php:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// E-mail notification
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------
// ...
// EMAIL_SENDER_ADDRESS: (requires Enterprise Server 9.6.0 or higher)
// E-mail address to use as the sender of the e-mail.
// When left empty, the e-mail address defined on the User Maintenance
// page of the user who sent the e-mail is used instead.
// Default value: ''.
//
define ('EMAIL_SENDER_ADDRESS', '');
// EMAIL_SENDER_NAME: (requires Enterprise Server 9.6.0 or higher)
// User name to use for the sender of the e-mail.
// When left empty, the name defined on the User Maintenance page of
// the user who sent the e-mail is used instead.
// Default value: ''.
//
define ('EMAIL_SENDER_NAME', '');
For more information, see Configuring e-mail notifications in Enterprise Server 9.
When multiple InDesign Server Jobs enter the system, it makes sense to process some Jobs before others.
Example: To keep the waiting time for a Content Station user as low as possible, generating a layout preview should be treated as more important than processing a request for generating a PDF.
To achieve this, the following system is put into place:
- Jobs are assigned a priority, ranging from very high to very low.
- Jobs with a higher priority than others will be processed first.
- Instances of InDesign Server can be set up to only handle Jobs of a specific priority so that jobs with a matching priority will be routed to those server instances.
In essence, this system is a combination of a priority mechanism and a routing mechanism.
Example: In the following setup, 3 InDesign Server instances exist. Each instance handles Jobs of different priorities. When Jobs of a specific priority enter the system, they are routed to the InDesign Server instance that can handle Jobs with such priorities. |
For more information, see:
When Enterprise Server Jobs enter the Server Job queue, they will stay there indefinitely.
When the queue holds too many Jobs though, the performance of database queries can be negatively affected and the overview of Jobs in the Job Queue becomes difficult to manage.
It is therefore important to clean up the queue on a regular basis.This could already be done manually and can now also be done automatically through the Enterprise Server Job named "AutoCleanServerJobs".
For more information, see Deleting Enterprise Server Jobs from the queue in Enterprise Server 9.
When users of Smart Connection for InDesign log in to Enterprise Server from a remote location, it is important that the transfer times for processing tasks such as check-out, check-in, article preview generation and so on, is kept as low as possible.
For this purpose, Enterprise ProxyForSC can be used: a toolbox for setting up a tunnel between a remote office and an Enterprise Server.
Depending on the configuration the payload can be send over by using 3rd-party software such as Aspera or BBCP and/or the SOAP communication can be zipped. Depending on the distance between the server and the remote office, network connection and protocol, the check-in/check-out process is up to 2–5 times faster.
On the Smart Connection side, communication with Enterprise Server is done through a Proxy Server, typically within the same LAN.
A typical workflow is as follows:
- A remote InDesign user requests to open a layout file.
- Smart Connection for InDesign sends a SOAP request to the Proxy Server.
- The Proxy Server compresses (deflates) the SOAP request and saves it in the Proxy Cache folder.
- The Proxy Server copies over the file to the Proxy Transfer folder of the Proxy Stub with the help of Aspera or BBCP.
- The Proxy Server sends over the original request headers to the Proxy Stub (a small data package over HTTP) along with a file descriptor.
- The Proxy Stub decompresses (inflates) the local file (as found in the Proxy Transfer folder) and recomposes the original SOAP request, combines it with the original request headers and sends it to Enterprise Server.
- Enterprise Server processes the SOAP request and returns a DIME message that contains the response and the layout file.
- The Proxy Stub compresses the DIME response and saves it in a local file.
- The Proxy Stub returns the original HTTP header of the DIME request and provides a descriptor of the local file (this is the response on step #5).
- The Proxy Server copies over the local file to the Proxy Cache folder with the help of Aspera or BBCP.
- The Proxy Server decompresses the local file and recomposes the DIME response, combines it with the original request headers and returns it to Enterprise Server (this is the response on step #2).

Enterprise Server 9.5.1 build 154
Release date: 14 April 2015
New features
The following new feature has been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.5.1 build 154:
When a placed article is opened in InCopy, only the latest saved version of the layout and that of the article is loaded. This is done to keep the loading times at a minimum.
The latest stored version of all placed content can now be loaded by configuring either the configserver.php file or the WWSettings.xml file.
For more details, see Updating all layout content after opening a placed article in InCopy.
Event scripts in InDesign and InCopy can be used to automatically perform specific actions when an event takes place.
Examples:
|
To help in the deployment and management of event scripts, system administrators can now automatically deploy them from Enterprise Server to InDesign, InCopy or InDesign Server, or to a combination of these applications.
In short, it works as follows:
- The scripts that need to be deployed are placed on Enterprise Server in a Server plug-in.
- An Access Right is enabled for those user groups to which the scripts should be deployed.
- The user logs in and the scripts are automatically installed, updated, or removed on the local system.
For more information, see Automatically deploying event scripts for Smart Connection 9 in InDesign or InCopy.

Enterprise Server 9.5.0 build 135 (Quick Patch)
Release date: 28 January 2015
Fixed issues
The following issue has been fixed in Enterprise Server 9.5.0 build 135:
EN-83559 New updates of MadeToPrint integration are not working correctly because of missing MadeToPrintDispatcher::clearSentObject() call in Enterprise Server.
Enterprise Server 9.5.0 build 131
Release date: 19 January 2015
New features
The following new features have been added to Enterprise Server 9.5.0 build 131:
Content Station users who work on remote locations and who are connected to Enterprise Server through a slow connection can suffer from poor performance (such as long waiting times) when working on articles, especially when these articles include previews generated by InDesign Server.
To improve performance, articles can be compressed before they are sent over and uncompressed when they are opened.
Article compression is disabled by default and is controlled by defining the user's IP address — or a range of IP addresses — in the configserver.php file of Enterprise Server through an 'include' and 'exclude' option.
Examples:
|
For more information, see Improving the Multi-Channel Text Editor performance for Content Station 9 users on remote locations.
The Enterprise Server plug-in for publishing to Twitter now makes it possible to include one or more images.
For more information, see Publishing to Twitter with Content Station 9.
Although still in beta phase, support for Drupal 8 has been added by making an Enterprise Server plug-in available which has been tested with Drupal 8 beta 3.
Warning: We advice not to use beta versions of software in a production environment, use it at your own risk.
For more information, see Integrating Drupal 8 in Enterprise Server 9.
Note: Drupal 7 data created with Enterprise cannot be migrated to Drupal 8 at this moment.
Changes
The following changes have been made in Enterprise Server 9.5.0 build 131:
Support for PHP 5.3 has been dropped while support for PHP 5.5 has been added. PHP 5.4 is also still supported.
- Support for ionCube Loader 4.6.1 has been added. Support for ionCube Loader 4.2.2 has been dropped.
-
The instructions on the ionCube Loader Wizard page have been improved and fine-tuned for Enterprise Server installations.
Support for Smart Connection 9 and Smart Connection for Adobe CC has been dropped while support for Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014 has been added. Smart Connection for Adobe CS6 is still supported.
When a preview needs to be generated for a layout, Enterprise Server 9.5 now picks a version of InDesign Server that matches the version of InDesign with which the layout was created. (In previous versions of Enterprise Server a newer InDesign Server version was picked for generating a preview of an older InDesign layout.)
When no matching version is available, no preview is generated.
Example: Enterprise Server 9.4 could pick InDesign Server CC for a layout created with InDesign CS6. Enterprise Server 9.5 picks InDesign Server CS6 (when available).
- The ionCube Loader test case is no longer listed on the Health Check page; when an incorrect version of the loader is installed, the ionCube Loader Wizard is shown (instead of the Health Check page). For more information, see Installing ionCube for use in Enterprise Server 9.
- When loading the Health Check page, you might first see progress bars of the ionCube Loader Wizard before the Health Check page itself is shown.
Compatibility details
Enterprise Server 9.5 is compatible with:
- Operating systems: same as Enterprise Server 9.4. See Compatibility of operating systems with Enterprise Server.
- PHP 5.5 and PHP 5.4. Support for PHP 5.3 has been dropped.
Note: For Microsoft SQL Server, use PHP 5.4 (PHP 5.5 is not supported by Microsoft).
- ionCube Loader 4.6.1. Support for ionCube Loader 4.2.2 has been dropped.
- InDesign Server: Smart Connection for Adobe CS6 and Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2014. Support for Smart Connection 9 and for Smart Connection for Adobe CC has been dropped.

Enterprise Server 9.4.9 build 261
Release date: 29 April 2016
Downloads
The download files for this version of Enterprise Server can be found in the announcement.
New features
No new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.4.9 build 261.
Changes
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 9.4.9 build 261:
The Elvis Content Source plug-in for connecting Enterprise Server with Elvis Server is now part of Enterprise Server and as such will be part of each Enterprise Server release. The reason for this is because of encryption that is applied to specific files of the plug-in; this encryption takes place during the building process of Enterprise Server files. Download links to the plug-in will be made available on the software download pages for Enterprise Server and Elvis Server.
When integrating Elvis with Enterprise Server, the configuration now needs to be tested by running a test on the Enterprise Server Health Check page.
In line with the recent changes made by Adobe, all references to 'Adobe DPS 2015' in the Enterprise Server software and in the documentation has been changed to 'Adobe AEM'.

Enterprise Server 9.4.0 build 97 (Quick Patch)
Release date: 6 October 2014

Enterprise Server 9.4.0 build 93
Release date: 15 September 2014
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.4.0 build 93:
Enterprise Server can now be connected to Enterprise Analytics so that reports on one or more Issues can be run.
In order for Enterprise Analytics to obtain the relevant data, a connection needs to be established between Enterprise Server and Enterprise Analytics. This is done through the use of an Enterprise Server plug-in.
For more information, see:
Integrating Enterprise Analytics in Enterprise Server 9
Analytics and privacy legislation
Enterprise Analytics makes a distinction between different phases within the production process. These phases are known as 'Workflow Phases'. Currently, the following phases are defined:
- Selection. In this phase, files are selected with the purpose of using them in one or more stories.
- Production. Here, files are used for creating a story of a publication.
- Completed. Work on the publication is completed.
- Archived. The publication is archived.
Workflow Phases are used for determining which files to include in reports and which files to ignore:
- Files that are part of the Workflow Phases 'Production' and 'Completed' are included in reports
- Files that are part of the Workflow Phases 'Selection' and 'Archived' are not included in reports
When using Enterprise Analytics therefore, each Workflow Status needs to be assigned to a Workflow Phase.
Example: The following Workflow Phase / Workflow Status combinations could be set up for an article:
In other words: when an article has the 'Gathering' Status assigned, it is part of the 'Selection' Phase; when an article has the 'Review' Status assigned, it is part of the 'Production' Phase, and so on. |
Assigning a Workflow Status to a Workflow Phase is done on the Workflow Maintenance page.
Figure: The Workflow Maintenance page showing the setup for the example mentioned above of Workflow Statuses (A) with their corresponding Workflow Phases (B) for an article.
When a user takes up one or more license seats that actually need to be made available to other users, that user can now be forcefully logged out of Enterprise. This is done by selecting the instances on the Online Users page with which the user is logged in and subsequently clicking the Force Log Out button.
Figure: The Online Users page now contains options to forcefully log users out of the system.
Note: This feature will eventually replace the 'Remove Connections' option of the Licensing page.
For more information, see Forcefully logging users out of Enterprise Server 9.
When publishing a story to WordPress using Content Station, the published URL can be viewed by clicking the Properties button in the Dossier. This URL now shows the URL structure as defined on the Permalinks page (WordPress Settings > Permalinks).
Figure: In this example, the Permalink settings in WordPress have been set up in such a way that the story title (A) is included in the WordPress URL for that story. This structure is now also reflected in the URL that is shown when clicking the Properties button (B) in the Dossier.
For more information about Permalinks in WordPress, see the WordPress documentation: Using Permalinks.
Changes
The following changes have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.4.0 build 93:
- The Online Users Maintenance page
- Users are now sorted by their full name. This makes it easier to locate instances of a user, for instance when forcefully logging users out of Enterprise.
- A column named 'Idle Time' has been added. This column indicates the time that has elapsed since the last activity was detected. This can help in identifying users who are logged in but have not been making use of the system for a long time. Such users can subsequently be forcefully logged out of Enterprise.
- The column named 'User Name' has been removed. This column was superfluous because of the column named 'Full Name'.
- The Overview of Users Maintenance page
- A column named 'Imported Groups' is added when LDAP is enabled. The following values can be shown:
- Yes. Shown when the user information (full name, e-mail address and group names) is imported from LDAP.
- No. Shown when no user information is imported from LDAP yet.
- Server Jobs for running Enterprise Analytics
- When making use of Enterprise Analytics, information about added, changed or removed objects are sent from the Enterprise Server to Enterprise Analytics. This is done through the use of scheduled Server Jobs. You will therefore see Server Jobs appear on the Enterprise Server Job Queue page that are used for this purpose.
- FILE_TRANSFER_REMOTE_PATH setting
- The FILE_TRANSFER_REMOTE_PATH setting which was intended for configuring the Transfer Server Folder was actually never used and has been removed from the configserver.php file.

Enterprise Server 9.3.0 build 77
Release date: 14 July 2014
New features
The following new feature has been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.3.0 build 77:
The Drupal 7 Maintenance page now allows you to import content types and taxonomies from either all Publication Channels or from a selected Publication Channel only, and to import only content types, only taxonomies, or both.
For more information, see the following articles:
Changes
The following changes have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.3.0 build 77:
The rules around the use of duplicate file names have been modified in order to bring more clarity around this concept.
In short, the following rules now apply:
-
When a Dossier, layout, Layout Module, InDesign Library or any type of template is assigned to an Issue, its name must be unique compared to an object of the same type that is already assigned to that Issue.
-
When a file of any type is added to a Dossier and a file of the same type is already present with that name, Enterprise automatically re-names the added file by adding a numeric postfix.
-
Enterprise allows manually removing the postfix of automatically renamed files.
- When a file is moved from a Task to the Dossier that the Task is in, the use of duplicate file names is allowed.
For a detailed explanation, see Using duplicate file names in Enterprise 9.
The Access Right named 'Set Basic Formats' (part of the Typography group) now also controls whether or not a Content Station user is allowed to apply bold or italic formatting to selected text by using the Bold and Italic buttons in the toolbar or by using keyboard shortcuts. When the Access Right is disabled, the buttons will not appear in the toolbar.
For information about Access Rights, see Access Rights in Enterprise 9.
For information about making text bold or italic in Content Station 9, see Formatting text in bold or italic using Content Station 9.
When previewing an article on Drupal 7 or WordPress from Content Station (by clicking the Preview button), a 'preview-' prefix is now added to the title.
Example: Here, the prefix in a WordPress URL for a story titled 'My story' is highlighted in yellow: http://localhost/wordpress/preview-my-story/ |
Adding this prefix makes sure that the URL of the actually published story can be kept the same as the story title without any unwanted post-fixes such as '_0'.
On Windows 64-bit platforms, Ghostscript can be run as either a 32-bit application or a 64-bit application.
The GHOST_SCRIPT_APP_PATH option in Enterprise Server can now be used to define the version of Ghostscript that is to be used by Enterprise Server:
- File: configserver.php
- Name of option: GHOST_SCRIPT_APP_PATH
- Values: enter one of the following:
- To point to the 32-bit version, point to the directory or to the executable
- To point to the 64-bit version, point to the executable
- Example:
define( 'GHOST_SCRIPT_APP_PATH', 'C:/Program Files/gs/gs8.71/bin/gswin64c.exe'

36545 Publishing and previewing DPS issues fails on Mac and Linux platforms
Enterprise Server 9.2.1 build 60
Release date: 20 May 2014
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.2.1 build 60.
The Publish Form for publishing a story to Drupal now supports the following Drupal fields:
- Date (ISO Format)
- Date (Unix DateStamp)
For more information, see Supported Drupal fields for use in Publish Form templates.
When using ImageMagick for generating image previews and image thumbnails, the IMAGE_MAGICK_OPTIONS setting in the configserver.php file can now be used to control the quality of these images.
For more information, see Controlling the quality of ImageMagick previews and thumbnails in Enterprise Server 9.
The following MySQL options can now be configured through the DBSERVER option in the configserver.php file:
- The host and port number if not the default port is used
Example:define( 'DBSERVER', '127.0.0.1:3307' );
- The socket path
Example:define( 'DBSERVER', '/opt/local/tmp/mysql.sock ');
The Publish Form for publishing a story to WordPress now includes a component for setting a Featured Image. For more information about Featured Images, see WordPress Support.
The Categories that are displayed in the Categories list in the WordPress Publish Form are now shown in a hierarchical fashion, similar to the way they are displayed in WordPress. This makes it clearer to which parent Category a child Category belongs. Each level is indicated by one or more dashes.
Because of this implementation, the name of the Category in WordPress should not start with a dash (-) or a space.
Example: Category — Level — — Level 2 |
Changes
The following changes have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.2.1 build 60.
Support for the Date field in a Publish Form for publishing to Drupal has been changed so that the date on the Drupal Web site is displayed in the time zone that is configured for that Drupal site.
Support for the Widget Type 'Text field' has been added for the Date fields, meaning that for Date fields the Widget Types 'Text field' and 'Select list' are now supported.
The name of a WordPress Category can no longer start with a dash (-) or a space. This is because of the hierarchical way these Categories are now displayed in the Publish Form in Content Station.

Changes
The following changes have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.2.0 build 46.
The 'Refresh' option has been removed from the Dialog Setup page; this option was added in preparation for future use by the client applications and will be added again as soon as the feature is implemented in these applications.
The use of relative deadlines is now disabled by default. The reason is that in previous versions the system required multiple database queries to find out whether or not deadlines are used, thereby negatively affecting system performance. In Enterprise Server 9.2, this check is now done through a simple check box on the Brand Maintenance page named 'Activate Relative Deadlines'. This check box is cleared by default and needs to be selected when deadlines are to be used.
For more information, see for example Creating a Brand.
Note: When migrating from a previous version in which deadlines are configured, the relative deadline mode is automatically enabled.
In order to support the dark interface of InDesign CC and InCopy CC, as well as a need to support Smart Connection on Macintosh retina screens, new icons have been introduced. Not only are many icons now available in various resolutions, the majority have also been redesigned.
In addition, new icons for the following file types have been introduced:
- Adobe Photoshop
- Open Office article
- Open Office spreadsheet
One group of icons that has been changed are those for the file types. These are shared across all client applications and are stored in Enterprise Server in the following location:
<server installation folder>/config/images/objecticons
Figure: Some of the new icons that have been introduced include those for panels and file types.
A new folder named 'vendor' has been added to the main 'server' folder. It is used for storing 3rd-party libraries.
Plug-ins that implement the WflSetObjectProperties connector have to also implement the WflMultisetObjectProperties connector for that plug-in, additionally any plug-in that implements the WflMultiSetObjectProperties connector but does not implement the WflSetObjectProperties connector will result in an error being thrown by the ServerPlugins health test prompting the user to update the plug-in to include the missing connector.
Fixed issues
The following issues have been fixed in Enterprise Server 9.2.0 build 46:
35765 InDesign: Not able to "Create Article" from layout in Overrule Issue Publication.
35672 Error occurs when dragging alien object from Elvis application to a Dossier with an overruled Issue.
35807 Invalid Status occurs when user tries to create a layout in an overruled Issue.

35684 Deadline is not displayed for the Publish form.
Enterprise Server 9.1.1 build 42
Release date: 29 January 2014
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.1.1 build 42.
With Enterprise Server 9.1.1 and Content Station 9.1.1, several optimizations are implemented to improve the performance of the Publication Overview in Content Station. To further optimize the end user experience, a new option has been introduced in the configserver.php file:
- PublicationOverviewMaxGridViewZoom. Limits the maximum zoom level. By matching it to the maximum thumbnail size, page previews are prevented from being loaded.
For more information, see the following Content Station articles:
When using Smart Connection for InDesign to create content that is going to be published to Adobe DPS, the layouts are at some point converted to the Adobe .folio file format.
In order not to take up valuable time by generating folio files at moments when this is not really necessary (such as at the beginning of the creation process), folio creation is only done when a layout is checked-in while no folio is created when a layout is saved or saved as a new version.
This behavior can be manually overruled by selecting or clearing a check box in a dialog box when saving the layout, or it can be overruled through a custom Server plug-in.
For more information, see Overruling the folio creation behavior of Smart Connection.
When LDAP creates a new user account in Enterprise Server, the option of whether or not the user should be sent email notifications each time a file is routed to the user or the user group that the user belongs to is now also set.
This is controlled by the newly introduced EMAIL_NOTIFICATIONS option in the LDAP section of the configserver.php file. For more information, see that file.

Enterprise Server 9.1.0 build 32
Release date: 6 December 2013
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.1.0 build 32.
Support has been added for publishing posts to Facebook through the introduction of a new Enterprise Server plug-in named 'Facebook - Publish Forms'.
For more information, see Facebook installation and configuration and Creating a story for publishing to Facebook.
Support has been added for publishing posts to Twitter through the introduction of a new Enterprise Server plug-in named 'Twitter Publishing Connector'.
For more information, see Twitter installation and configuration and Creating a story for publishing to Twitter.
Multiple files can now be included in a story that is published to a Drupal 7 Web site. This support is included in the following Drupal 7 content type fields:
- File
- Image
For more information, see Supported Drupal fields for use in Publish Form templates and Adding multiple files to a Web article.
Watch this short video showing multiple images being added and published to a Web site which is set up to show them in a slide show:
When publishing an article to the Web, it is common to include tags (keywords) so that users can use these as a search tool for locating other articles with similar content.
When working on an article in Content Station, tags can be added in 2 ways:
- By choosing from tags that are generated automatically based on the content of the story
- By adding tags manually, optionally aided by an auto-complete feature or by choosing from a list of tags
See these methods demonstrated in this video:
Automatically generated tags are provided by an external semantic service provider (by default the one from OpenCalais, see above), while the auto-complete feature is based on a list of tags (by default from Drupal).
For more information see About adding tags to Web articles, Setting up the auto-complete feature for adding tags, Setting up the auto-suggestion feature for adding tags and Setting up a fixed list for adding tags.
OpenCalais is an external Suggestion Provider, used in Enterprise for scanning the content of a Publish Form for articles aimed at publishing to the Web. After scanning the content, suggested tags (keywords) are generated which are subsequently displayed in the Publish Form in Content Station where the user can optionally include them in the article.
Figure: A field in a Publish Form for adding tags (A) and the tags suggested by OpenCalais that are displayed next to it (B).
For more information, see OpenCalais, About adding tags to Web articles and Setting up the auto-suggestion feature for adding tags.
The Zend OPcache module (formerly known as Zend Optimizer+) provides faster PHP execution through opcode caching and optimization. It improves PHP performance by storing pre-compiled script bytecode in the shared memory. This eliminates the stages of reading code from the disk and compiling it on future access. In addition, it applies a few bytecode optimization patterns that make code execution faster.
For more information, see Installing Zend OPcache and Clearing the Zend OPcache.
The Drupal content type field "Autocomplete term widget (tagging)" is used in Publish Forms for displaying tags provided by a suggestion service, and for providing the auto-complete feature for adding tags. Such tags can be added in articles that are published to a Web site.
For more information,see About adding tags to Web articles, Setting up the auto-complete feature for adding tags and Setting up the auto-suggestion feature for adding tags.
When a Content Station user checks-in a file for which a preview is generated, Enterprise Server now generates a thumbnail in a size of 256x256 pixels instead of 100x100 pixels. A new slider in Content Station allows the user to change the size of the displayed thumbnail.
Note: Thumbnails for layouts need to be generated by Smart Connection 8.3.3 or higher.
For more information, see Changing the size of thumbnails.
The following messaging events have been added to the Enterprise messaging system:
- CreateObjectLabels
- UpdateObjectLabels
- DeleteObjectLabels
- AddObjectLabels
- RemoveObjectLabels
For more information, see the Enterprise v9 Message Specification.

Enterprise Server 9.0.2 build 23
Release date: 20 September 2013
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.0.2 build 23:
A story can be assigned one of two new options, both of which can be found in the new “Article Access” list in the Dossier Properties window:
- Free. (Requires Adobe DPS Release 26). Enables a user to preview the article for free.
For more information about this feature, see the Adobe site: Free Article Preview http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/free-article-preview.html
- Metered. (Requires Adobe DPS Release 27). Enables a user to preview an article for free, but only as long as the total number of free articles that can be viewed for that publication has not been reached yet. Once that total is reached, the user is prompted to purchase the publication or a subscription.
For more information see the Enterprise 9 Admin Guide, chapter 35, Digital Publishing Configuration – Step 5.2, Adding Custom Metadata.
When importing a Drupal content type as a Publish Form template in Enterprise and subsequently changing the name field and/or the description field of the content type in Drupal, the Publish Form template is now correctly updated when re-importing the content type in Enterprise.
Scenario details
The scenario in Enterprise 9.0.0 was as follows:
- A Drupal content type is created named "My Content Type".
- When clicking Import in Enterprise, the content type is imported as a Publish Form template named "My Content Type".
- In Drupal, the content type "My Content Type" is changed to "My New Content Type".
- When clicking Import in Enterprise, the changed content type is imported as a new Publish Form template named "My New Content Type" instead of updating the existing Publish Form Template "My Content Type". As a result, 2 Publish Form templates exist instead of 1. As a result, any Publish Forms based on the "My Content Type" template cannot be published or updated anymore because a content type with that name does not exist in Drupal.
In Enterprise 9.0.2 the behavior is a follows:
- A Drupal content type is created named "My Content Type".
- When clicking Import in Enterprise, the content type is imported as a Publish Form template named "My Content Type".
- In Drupal, the content type "My Content Type" is changed to "My New Content Type".
- When clicking Import in Enterprise, the existing Publish Form Template "My Content Type" is updated to "My New Content Type". As a result, only 1 Publish Form template exists which is correct. Because the names in Enterprise and Drupal match, no issues arise when publishing or updating the content to Drupal.
Change in mapping
The new behavior is made possible by a change in which the content types in Drupal are mapped to the Publish Form templates in Enterprise:
- In Enterprise 9.0.0 the mapping is based on the Drupal field 'system_name'
- In Enterprise 9.0.2 the mapping is based on the Drupal field 'orig_type'
Note: When making use of Publish Forms in Enterprise 9.0.0, carefully read the Upgrade instructions: they contain important information.
Upgrade instructions
To upgrade Enterprise 9.0.0 to Enterprise 9.0.2, use one of the following methods:
For installations in which Publish Forms are not used
Use the regular upgrade instructions as provided in Enterprise Server 9 minor upgrade.
For installations in which Publish Forms are used
The change in the way content types and Publish Form templates are mapped (see Support for re-importing Drupal content types with changed Name and/or Description fields) may or may not affect your upgrade process.
No issues are expected when re-importing the content types: Enterprise will automatically change the mapping based on the matching names.
Step 1. Upgrade Enterprise by using the regular upgrade instructions as provided in Enterprise Server 9 minor upgrade.
Note: It is especially important to create a backup of Enterprise.
Step 2. Re-import the content types by following these steps:
Step 2a. Access the Drupal 7 Maintenance page in Enterprise Server.
Step 1. In Enterprise Server, click Integrations in the Maintenance menu or on the Home page. A page with all integrated services appears.
Step 2. Click Drupal 7. The "Import Content Types from Drupal 7" Maintenance page appears
Step 2b. Click Import to import the content types.
When the name of the content type has been changed in Drupal, it is impossible for Enterprise to map it to an existing Publish Form template. To ensure correct mapping follow these steps:
Step 1. In Drupal, change the name of the content type so that it matches the Publish Form template it is related to in Enterprise Server.
Step 2. Upgrade Enterprise by using the regular upgrade instructions as provided in Enterprise Server 9 minor upgrade.
Note: It is especially important to create a backup of Enterprise.
When running the Health Check page as part of the upgrade steps, you will be prompted to import the Drupal content types.

- Instability issues when importing Publish Forms from Drupal 7 to Enterprise on Windows/IIS/Oracle.
Enterprise Server 9.0.0 build 12
Release date: 12 July 2013
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 9.0.0 build 12:
Publish Forms allow Content Station users to quickly and easily prepare a story in order to publish it to a particular Publication Channel. This is done by showing the user only the information that is relevant for that Publication Channel.
For example: The Publish Form of a news story might consist of a header, body text and an image, whereas the Publish Form for a recipe might consist of a title, a list of ingredients, a list of instructions and one or more images or videos.
Drupal 7 required
Currently, Publish Forms are only used for Publication Channels that are set up for publishing to a Drupal 7 based Web site.
This also means that publishing to Publication Channels set up for print, Drupal 6 or Adobe DPS is still done by using the same method as for Enterprise 8.

Improved Enterprise Server installation
The process of installing Enterprise Server has been improved in the following ways:
- More informative installation steps and better feedback on the outcome of each step
- Improved localization of the installation pages
- Reduced amount of information that is logged in the Server logging
- Possibility for creating automated scripts for performing a clean installation

Documentation
Starting with Enterprise 9, product documentation will be made available as online Web pages in HTML format instead of PDF files.
The structure is set up in such a way that all information for a product will be available in one location. This applies to topics such as installation, configuration, using the software, and so on.
Documentation such as an admin guide, user guide or scripting guide will therefore cease to exist: all information is available as separate topics in one location.
We think this will offer the following benefits:
- Information is not spread over multiple, separate files and locations
- Related information is cross-referenced across products
- Information is better searchable
- Feedback can be provided on each topic
- Content can be more easily and more frequently updated
Notes: This change affects all non-Elvis products, but only those products for which a new full version will be released such as Enterprise 9.0. (In other words: documentation for Enterprise versions 7 and 8 will not be transferred to Online Help but will stay available in PDF format.) We are currently still in the process of moving the documentation from the PDF format to the HTML format.While this is taking place, some or most information will still be made available in PDF format until all information is migrated to the Online Help. Our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. |
For Enterprise Server 9, the following topics are available as Online Help:
- Enterprise Server 9 installation
- Enterprise Server 9 Configuration
- Enterprise Server plug-ins
- Enterprise Server Maintenance pages (Database - Installation / Upgrade page and Drupal 7 only)
- Publish Forms
- 3rd-Party software
For all other topics, please refer to the Enterprise Server 9 Admin Guide in PDF format.
The following Enterprise Server 9 related documentation is available in PDF format (available from the Enterprise 9 Documentation page):
- Compatibility Matrix v5
