Elvis Server 5.27.13

Elvis Server version: 5.27.13.253

InDesign client version 3.5.1.700

Migration Tool: 1.1.33

Release date: 18 December 2018

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Elvis:

Elvis InDesign client: File caching. When working in InDesign with files that are stored in Elvis, these files are sometimes downloaded to the system and stored in a cache folder. In earlier versions of the Elvis InDesign client, these cached files were removed when the layout was closed. However, this meant that when the layout was re-opened that these files needed to be downloaded again. It would therefore be beneficial to keep these files on the system, also because they can then act as a backup when something goes wrong with the original file.

It is now possible to manage cached files by enabling the File Cache option in the new InDesign > Elvis preferences.

This also controls the maximum file size of the cache folder and how long the files may stay in the cache folder.

The Elvis preferences in InDesign

When File Cache is enabled, the following takes place:

When closing a layout, any cached files that are related to that layout are kept in the cache folder.

The cache folder is cleared as much as possible, based on specific rules (listed in order):

All files are cleared that have been stored longer in the cache folder than the defined time period.
When the size of the folder then still exceeds the maximum size, enough files are removed to bring it below this size (the oldest files are removed first).

The following files are not removed:

Files that have not been downloaded by the Elvis InDesign plug-in
Files that are checked-out
Files that have been modified after they were cached
Layouts that are currently opened in InDesign and files that are placed on these layouts

Info: This feature is available for InDesign for Adobe CC 2017, CC 2018, and CC 2019.

For more information, see Using Elvis 5 with Adobe InDesign – Managing cached files.

Changes

The following change has been made in this release of Elvis:

Management Console: The 'Delete orphaned index entries' option has been moved from the Asset Processing tool to the File Store Rescue tool.

LVS-13004 Searching/relations: Relation search for assets in Collections does not return relation information.

Note about LVSID-503 Add scripting call for repairing missing XMP data

In previous versions of the Elvis InDesign plug-in, it could be that the XMP data of an image was lost when the image was placed on a layout. This issue was fixed in version 3.4.0.

In order to repair any images that were affected by this and still have missing XMP data, a scripting call has been added to version 3.4.2.

Note: Such images can be recognized by accessing the Links panel in the Pro client: no relation will be shown for these images.

Using InDesign scripting, the following scripting call can be used for repairing the XMP data of all images of a document:

elvisFixXmpInfoOfPlacements

Example: The following script will download the images for which the XMP info should be added to the document.

var myDoc = app.documents.item(0);
myDoc.elvisFixXmpInfoOfPlacements();

Documentation

Compatibility of the Elvis InDesign client with Adobe InDesign - updated

Elvis Server 5.27.6

Elvis Server version: 5.27.6.206

InDesign client version 3.3.1.614

Migration Tool: 1.1.28

Release date: 6 February 2018

New features

No features have been added to this release of Elvis Server.

Changes

The following change has been made for this release of Elvis Server:

Enterprise integration and file name extensions. When an asset is archived from Enterprise to Elvis, the file extension that is used in Elvis is derived from the MIME-type definitions in Elvis, with the exception of some file types for which the definition from Enterprise is used.

Example: TIFF files are stored with the Enterprise extension .tiff, while Elvis Server uses the extension .tif.

This difference in file extension could cause issues when the asset is restored to Enterprise at some stage. From Elvis 5.27.6, the Enterprise MIME-type definitions are therefore used for all file types when archiving assets from Enterprise to Elvis.

Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in this release of Elvis Server:

LVS-9170 Server/operations: Bulk metadata update does not continue on error.

LVS-11829 Pro client/iPad: Change positioning, size and visibility of several UI elements that were rendered out of view.

LVS-11823 Desktop client/certificate: Update AIR client certificate for 5.x.

Elvis Server 5.26

Elvis Server version: 5.26.1.246

InDesign client version 3.2.1.556

Migration Tool: 1.1.24

Release date: 13 June 2017

New features

The following new features have been introduced in Elvis 5.26:

Changes

The following changes have been made in Elvis 5.26:

Asset/update endpoint removed

The '/controller/admin/asset/update' endpoint has been removed and has been replaced by the Asset Processing Tool in the Management Console.

Authkey notify API changed to add subject and body server-side instead of provided over URL

This API is used by the Share client to send out e-mails when approval or import is complete.

`/services/authkey/notifyImportComplete?filesUploaded=10`

`/services/authkey/notifyApprovalComplete`

It can only be used when the URL is called using authkey access.

Improvement in indexing

Improvements have been made to make it less likely that a re-index is required after an upgrade has been performed.

Changes in permission handling

The permission handling on several operations has changed:

Moving or renaming assets:
A user is allowed to move or rename an asset if:
The operation is MOVE and the user has MOVE permission on the source and destination asset
The operation is RENAME and the user has RENAME or MOVE permission on the source and destination asset
The operation is considered a RENAME when the folderPath (a metadata attribute) of the source and destination asset is the same.

Moving or renaming folders:
User is allowed to move or rename a folder if:
The operation is MOVE AND the user has MOVE permission on the source and destination folder
The operation is RENAME AND the user has RENAME OR MOVE permission on the source and destination folder

In addition, the user must have MOVE permission on all assets within the source folder (and all sub folders). The operation is considered a RENAME when the parent path of both source and destination are the same.

Removing a folder:
A user is allowed to remove a folder if:
The user has DELETE permission on the folder
The user has DELETE permission on all sub folders and assets within the folder

Fixed issues

The following issues have been fixed in Elvis 5.26:

LVS-6963 Security: Unexpected behavior of Rename permission.

Elvis Server 5.14

Elvis Server version: 5.14.1.73

InDesign client version: 3.0.4.376

Release date: 22 September 2016

About this release

Recent Elvis 5 releases revealed various stability issues at customer installations. In close cooperation with customers and partners we identified the following issues:

Unstable cluster startup and restarts
Cluster failing under heavy load
Failing upgrades
Unclear cluster status
Improperly working bulk operations (move, copy, delete)

Based on customer feedback we introduced additional tests that replicate real-life customer scenarios, especially targeted at heavy traffic and heavy load testing. The test results helped us in finding proper solutions to fix the issues. The latest test results show a major improvement in Elvis stability resulting in a much more reliable Elvis cluster.

New features

The following new feature has been introduced in Elvis 5.14:

Health API. A new Node Health API has been added that is available early during node start-up. This API is experimental at this point and may change in upcoming versions. Do not rely on it yet. Any feedback on the use of this API is appreciated.

Changes

The following changes have been implemented in Elvis 5.14:

More predictable and stable cluster discovery. Cluster discovery and coordination no longer relies on Hazelcast, but depends on the Elasticsearch cluster instead. This has proven to be more stable.

More explicit cluster discovery configuration. Cluster discovery is still done using the "cluster.join.tcpip.members" config property but to prevent possible discovery problems, usage of wildcards and ranges is no longer supported. The comment for this setting has been updated to reflect this. For details see the node-config.properties.txt file in the folder named 'clean-example-config-5.14' (located in your Elvis Server/config folder).

More explicit cluster network configuration. To prevent possible discovery problems, you are now forced to configure the new cluster.network.host config property when a multi-node setup has multiple network interfaces. This property replaces the old cluster.network.interfaces and cluster.public.address settings which have been removed.

Simplified AWS cluster discovery configuration. AWS cluster discovery still uses the "cluster.join.aws" config settings, but some settings have been removed. Discovery is now always done by listing the nodes that are in the specified AWS security group(s). Also, the accessKey and secretKey options can no longer be configured. Instead, run your EC2 instances with an IAM security role as advised by AWS. For details see the node-config.properties.txt file in the folder named 'clean-example-config-5.14' (located in your Elvis Server/config folder).

The following settings are no longer supported and will be ignored:

cluster.join.aws.accessKey and cluster.join.aws.secretKey
cluster.join.aws.tagKey and cluster.join.aws.tagValue
cluster.join.aws.fetchTimeout

Multicast discovery removed. To prevent possible discovery problems, all "cluster.join.multicast" config settings are no longer supported and will be ignored.

Available network ports. Elvis Server no longer uses a range of ports for Elasticsearch and Hazelcast. Instead it uses specific ports for cluster communication. The new set of ports is backwards compatible with the old ranges, so existing network configuration will still work. For more information see Elvis 5 Server network ports.

Scheduled plug-in Job Runner configuration. Scheduled plug-in jobs are now only run on nodes that are configured to act as a Job Runner node (jobRunnerEnabled=true). An Elvis cluster will no longer assign a random fallback Job Runner node when none of the available nodes are configured as a Job Runner. Make sure therefore to configure at least one node with jobRunnerEnabled=true.

Default number of shards. By default, the number of shards for an index now matches the configured searchNodeCount. This has been changed to improve performance and stability. The new default is not applied to any existing index until its revision is incremented. It is advised to increment the index revision of all indices after you have upgraded to Elvis 5.14 or later from any older Elvis 5 version. For details see the cluster.searchNodeCount setting in the cluster-config.properties.txt file in the folder named 'clean-example-config-5.14' (located in your Elvis Server/config folder).

Removed "Coordinator ready" message. An Elvis cluster will no longer assign one node as coordinator. As a result, the "Coordinator ready" message will not be printed in the log during start-up.

Cluster upgrade. The automated cluster upgrade procedure now runs in the background and does not block API availability. When upgrading from Elvis 5.0 or 5.1, this may cause issues if connected clients are used before all data upgrades have been performed. Upgrades from Elvis 5.2 or later will likely perform some re-indexing which will impact performance of connected clients.

Note: No cluster upgrade steps are performed when upgrading from 5.13 to 5.14.

Removed server_state file. The server_state file is no longer used in Elvis 5.14. Instead the server will not start twice on the same machine because the Health API port will already be in use. On upgrade, any existing server_state file will be removed. Make sure the Elvis service is stopped before you upgrade.

Removed Manage Sessions tab. Tracking session to manage them resulted in performance problems at several customers. We have changed the session management to prevent the performance issues. As a side-effect the Manage Sessions admin tab in the Desktop client does not work anymore and has been disabled. This may be re-introduced in a future release.

The following issues have been fixed in Elvis Server 5.14:

LVS-8640 Getty Images: Plug-in contents disappear after some time.

LVS-9000 Stability: Unstable cluster after node reconnects.

New features

The following new features have been introduced in Elvis 5.12:

Elvis Server: configuring the default disk space used for processing large assets

Processing large assets requires a lot of disk space and can potentially result in the processing node running out of disk space or ending up processing infinitely.

To prevent such situations, the maximum disk space used for processing an asset can now be configured in Elvis Server through a setting named 'processingDiskspaceLimit'. For files that exceed the limit, no preview or thumbnail is generated.

The setting is added to the cluster-config.properties.txt file and is by default set to 8GiB.

#
# Set maximum disk space used by ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick when processing large files (over 2 Gigabyte during processing)
# Files exceeding the limit during processing will have no preview or thumbnail
#
# For example: 8GiB
#
# Leave empty to use unlimited disk space, this may result in server failures if the disk space runs out
#

processingDiskSpaceLimit=8GiB
