Enterprise Server 10.1.4 build 183
Release date: 14 August 2017
Downloads
The download files for this version of Enterprise Server can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
No new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.1.4 build 183.
Changes
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.1.4 build 183:
- Log files: only system administrators can access log files. The log files of Enterprise Server can now only be accessed by users who are part of an admin group. All other users will get a 'Permission denied' message when trying to access the error logging page (Enterprise/server/admin/showlog.php). After logging in to Enterprise Server, they will also not see the pop-up window that notifies them about new error logging or PHP error logging.
- Elvis integration: provide a more descriptive error message when the connection to Elvis Server is lost. In the scenario where an Elvis node goes down and Enterprise Server is not able to communicate with Elvis anymore, it is important for the user to not interact with Elvis Server in any way but to wait until the connection is restored (either until the node recovers itself or is manually restored by the system administrator). For this purpose, a message with clearer instructions is now shown.
Previous message:
| Error connecting to the service named Elvis. Please check your connection and try again. (S1144) |
New message:
|
An error occurred while getting a file from Elvis because of a lost connection. (S1144) Please contact your system administrator. IMPORTANT: We strongly advise to stop working on ANY of the files in the system until the connection is restored again and to not perform ANY action such as abort check-out, check-in, save version, check-out, opening files or Dossiers and so on. Continuing to work on the files in any way can result in data loss or corrupted files. |
- Elvis integration: logging in to Elvis is now done silently and only when needed. Previously, Enterprise Server automatically logged in to Elvis at the moment the user logged in to Enterprise. Now, logging in to Elvis is only done when Enterprise Server requests assets from Elvis. Logging in is also done automatically and silently in the background; the user is not asked to log in manually.
- Elvis integration: decoupling the Enterprise workflow activity from the Elvis integration. Previously, a periodical call was made to Elvis to make sure that the session is kept alive. In situations where the connection to Elvis was lost, the user was not able to work with Enterprise anymore, even when the user was not working on Elvis assets at all. Now, the periodical call is no longer needed when the session is expired. Also, Enterprise will now silently log in to Elvis in the background.

Enterprise Server 10.1.3 build 181
Release date: 7 July 2017
Downloads
The download files for this version of Enterprise Server can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
No new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.1.3 build 181.
Changes
The following change has been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.1.3 build 181:
Controlling the behavior when an asset is moved from the Elvis Production Zone folder to Enterprise
When an asset is moved from Elvis to Enterprise, it can be stored in various ways in Elvis and Enterprise. (See Controlling how Elvis assets are used in Enterprise 10.)
When the 'variant' method is used, each time an asset is moved from Elvis to Enterprise, the original asset is copied in Elvis and then linked to a shadow object in Enterprise. The copy in Elvis is stored in a dedicated folder named the 'Production Zone' folder. Multiple Production Zone folders can exist, for example one for each Brand.
From a user's perspective, the assets in this Production Zone folder are like assets in any other folder in Elvis and can therefore also be moved to Enterprise.
From the perspective of Enterprise though, these assets in the Production Zone folder are special: Enterprise knows that they have originally been copied in Elvis and that a shadow object exists for these assets in Enterprise.
Because of this special status, moving an asset from that folder to Enterprise will not by default create a copy of the file. Instead, Enterprise recognizes that the asset already exists as a shadow object and will simply make that same shadow object available once more.
To force Enterprise to create a copy of the file, the option ELVIS_CREATE_COPY_WHEN_MOVED_FROM_PRODUCTION_ZONE can now be set in the configuration file of the Elvis plug-in in Enterprise.
For more information, see:
- Working with assets that are stored in the Production Zone folder of Elvis 5
- Controlling how Elvis assets are used in Enterprise 10

Enterprise Server 10.1.2 build 156
Release date: 27 March 2017
Downloads
The download files for this version of Enterprise Server can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
The following new feature has been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.1.2 build 156:
- Support for Drupal 8 entities. By making use of Drupal Entities (by using the module 'Dynamic Entity Reference'), you can let users enter or add data based on values that are predefined in Drupal. For example: instead of having to manually type the name of an author or product (with the risk of misspelling it) the user can choose from a list of Drupal user accounts or a list of product names. This list is defined as an Entity in Drupal.
With the Dynamic Entity Reference module, multiple Entities can be linked from within the same field. For example: the Tags field can be set up to make use of multiple entities.
For more information about using Drupal 8 in Enterprise Server, see:
- Integrating Drupal 8 in Enterprise Server 10
- Supported Drupal fields for use in Publish Form templates in Enterprise 10
Changes
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.1.2 build 156:
- Support for PHP 5.4 dropped. With the release of Enterprise Server 10.1.2, PHP 5.4 is no longer supported. Note that it was supported for Linux only.
This is done for the following reasons:
- Changes to Elvis integration. Enterprise Server 10.1.2 contains an important improvement for the stability of the integration between Enterprise and Elvis. These changes have been applied in both the Elvis Content Source plug-in and the core of Enterprise Server. One of the fixes in this area requires an upgrade of Zend Framework from 2.4.9 to 2.5.3 (related to this zendframework issue).However, Zend Framework only supports PHP 5.5 and up, so we have to move on with Enterprise Server too.
- Security. PHP 5.4 is no longer supported by the PHP community since late 2015, also not for critical security fixes. From a security point of view therefore, it is unwise to continue supporting PHP 5.4 for Enterprise Server.
|
Notes:
|
For more information, see Compatibility of PHP with Enterprise Server.
- Support for Windows Server 2016. Windows Server 2016 has been tested with Enterprise Server 10.1.2 and has been found fully compatible. It is also expected to be compatible with any other version of Enterprise Server 10.0 and 10.1. For more information, see Compatibility of operating systems with Enterprise Server.

Enterprise Server 10.1.1 build 130
Release date: 13 December 2016
Downloads
The download files for this version of Enterprise Server can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.1.1 build 130:
When an asset that is stored in Elvis is used in Enterprise, the asset can already be used as a copy or as a shadow object that is linked to the original asset.
A third option has now been added: using a variant of the asset. In this scenario, a copy of the asset is stored in Elvis and linked to a shadow object in Enterprise. The variant is also linked to the original image, thereby making it possible to see the original asset and all its variants. Variants are stored in a dedicated folder in Elvis, known as a 'Production Environment'. Multiple Production Environments can be set up, one for each Brand / Category combination. This makes it possible to use the same asset across different Brands.
This feature requires Elvis 5.18 or higher.
For more information, see Controlling how Elvis assets are used in Enterprise 10.
When maintenance tasks need to be performed on Enterprise Server such as upgrading the software or updating the configuration settings, it is important that users do not have access to the system. At the same time, processes such as InDesign Server Jobs or Smart Mover Tasks should still be allowed.
For this purpose, Enterprise Server can now be placed in 'Maintenance Mode'. It currently has the following features:
- It prevents users from logging in to the system
- The date and time when Maintenance Mode should be enabled can be configured
- A custom message to show the user can be added
The Maintenance Mode is provided through a new Enterprise Server plug-in named Maintenance Mode (it is disabled by default). Once enabled, its settings can be accessed through Integrations > Maintenance Mode.
Tip: When not planning on scheduling maintenance it is best to leave the Maintenance Mode Server plug-in disabled to prevent it from constantly checking if it needs to go into Maintenance Mode or not.
Publishing to WordPress is now possible over a secure connection such as HTTPS.
For more information, see:
Changes
The following change has been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.1.1 build 130:
Numbering options added to the Planning interface
A PageNumber element has been added to the SmartEditorialPlan wsdl. Its purpose is to support variants of human readable page number variations. Currently supported options are:
- Prefixes of page numbers
- Styles: roman lower case, alpha numeric lower case, Arabic, roman upper case, alpha numeric upper case
This improvement includes some limitations:
- No support for using a mixture of styles and prefixes in the same planned layout.
- Page style and page prefix cannot be made Edition dependent.
To benefit from this improvement, the following is required:
- Smart Connection for CC 2014 version 10.2.5 or higher
- Enterprise Server 10.1.1 or higher or the upcoming Enterprise Server 10.0.3
Smart Connection will transform the page numbers of the planned pages to actual page numbers in InDesign.

- We offer long-term extended maintenance on Content Station 9.4 untill November 2017
For Smart Connection:
The changes do not affect the current maintenance of Smart Connection:
- Smart Connection for CS6 is a Maintenance version
- Smart Connection for CC 2014 is a Maintenance version
- Smart Connection for CC 2015 is an Innovation version
- Enterprise Server 10 is compatible with Smart Connection for CS6, CC 2014 and CC 2015
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.1.0 build 120:
To ease the process of managing and upgrading Enterprise Server installations, Enterprise Server 10.1 can be configured by using just a single configuration file.
This is done by defining any setting that you want to change from any configuration file in Enterprise to this file. These settings are then used to overrule their corresponding values in the default configuration files.
This has the following advantages:
- Easy management: configuration is done from a single file in a central location instead of configuring separate files in multiple locations.
- Easy upgrading: the single configuration file can be simply migrated to any new installation and saves you from having to update the default versions of these files by comparing the new version with the old version.
The file is named 'config_overrule.php' and is placed in the following location:
Enterprise/config/
For more information, see Using a central file to configure Enterprise Server 10.
A new Access Right has been introduced named 'Open for Edit (unplaced)'. It accompanies the already existing Access Right 'Open for Edit'.
The difference between the two is as follows:
- Open for Edit (unplaced). Allows a user to open a file for editing, but only when it is not yet placed on a layout or used in a Publish Form.
- Open for Edit. Allows a user to open a file for editing regardless if it is placed on a layout or used on a Publish Form.
A typical use case is a workflow in which external editors provide content, for example in the form of Word documents. As long as the document has not yet been placed or used in a Publish Form they should be allowed to edit the document. Once the file is placed though, external users should not be allowed to edit the file. However, internal editors should always be able to edit the document.
This is now possible by setting up separate Access Profiles: one for the external editors with 'Open for Edit (unplaced)' enabled and another for internal editors with 'Open for Edit' enabled.
For more information, see Adding a user to a Brand in Enterprise Server 10.
When using an image in an article for print or for publishing on the Internet, the original image often needs to be cropped and/or resized. On top of that, the size of the image that is used on the Internet is usually much smaller than the same image that is used in print.
Using Content Station 9.8.6 in combination with Enterprise Server 10.1, each image that is used in a Publish Form or in an article as an inline image can now be individually cropped and resized, without affecting the original image.
For more information, see Cropping and resizing an image in Content Station 9.
The following metadata properties have been introduced:
- Dimensions. This property is used to better display the width and height information of an image to the user by combining the two properties into one field. Another benefit is that it takes the orientation of the image into account. Note that the field is read-only.
- Orientation. This property enables Enterprise Server and Content Station to properly crop images. Note that this property is used by the system only: it can be addressed by clients and plug-ins but for end-users it is hidden and cannot be added to the query results or workflow dialogs.
In order to correctly and accurately crop images (see above), Enterprise Server needs detailed metadata information of each image. This is made possible by integrating the ExifTool. This tool is therefore a required component of any Enterprise Server 10.1 installation.
For more information, see:
When publishing content to the Internet (by using a Publication Channel of type 'Web') and ImageMagick is used for image processing, the quality of the image can now be controlled.
This is done through a new option named 'IMAGE_MAGICK_PUBLISH_OPTIONS' that has been added to the configserver.php file.
The option contains placeholders that can be replaced with fixed values. For more information, see the comments in the configserver.php file.
Example:
-colorspace sRGB -quality 92 -sharpen 5 -depth 8 -strip -background none -layers mergeChanges
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.1.0 build 120:
When users want to use Content Station, Smart Connection or any other application that is based on Enterprise Server, they need to be added to at least one Brand that is set up on that server.
Adding a user to a Brand is done by making that user part of a user group and assigning that group to the Brand.
This is accomplished by setting up an Authorization Rule: a combination of a Category, Workflow Status and an Access Profile. Together, they define what actions a user is allowed to perform on a file while that file is part of that Category and Workflow Status combination.
Typically, multiple Authorization Rules are set up: one for each specific scenario.
Managing such Authorization Rules has been improved by updating the way the Authorization Maintenance page works: instead of having to set up a separate Rule for each combination of Category, Workflow and Access Profile, combinations of Categories and Workflows that share the same Access Profiles can now be defined in one Rule. This greatly reduces the number of Rules that need to be set up.
In the following example, all articles, images and layouts that are part of the Categories 'News' and 'Sport' and which are set to a Workflow Status of 'Final' can be worked on based on the rules defined in the Access Profile named 'Top level'.
In previous versions of Enterprise Server, setting up this scenario required 6 separate Rules.
For more information, see Adding a user to a Brand in Enterprise Server 10.
The way in which the format of the DPI field in an object's ContentMetaData is stored has been changed from 'unsigned integer' to 'double' in order to gain more precision.

- configserver.php file client features. The comments for the options CreatePagePDF and CreatePagePDFOnProduce have been updated and corrected. In particular, it was not mentioned for option CreatePagePDF that a PDF preset/style can be added as it can for CreatePagePDFOnProduce.
- Oracle: Support for the UTF8 character set for non-CJK languages in Oracle has been added.
- Notification added to Web apps page. When Content Station was introduced some years ago, its functionality replaced that of some of the 'Web applications' that were available in Enterprise Server such as the Reporting and Export applications. These Web applications where subsequently hidden by default but could still be displayed again in Enterprise Server by adding the option 'define( 'SHOW_DEPRECATED_WEBAPPS', 'ON' );' in the configserver.php file. Because it is very likely that these applications will be fully removed in a future major version of Enterprise Server, a note has been added on that page to inform anyone who might still be using these applications.
Figure: The Web apps displayed (see menu in top left corner) and the message that is shown.

Enterprise Server 10.0.3 build 133
Release date: 23 December 2016
Downloads
The download files for this version of Enterprise Server can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.0.3 build 133:
When maintenance tasks need to be performed on Enterprise Server such as upgrading the software or updating the configuration settings, it is important that users do not have access to the system. At the same time, processes such as InDesign Server Jobs or Smart Mover Tasks should still be allowed.
For this purpose, Enterprise Server can now be placed in 'Maintenance Mode'. It currently has the following features:
- It prevents users from logging in to the system
- The date and time when Maintenance Mode should be enabled can be configured
- A custom message to show the user can be added
The Maintenance Mode is provided through a new Enterprise Server plug-in named Maintenance Mode (it is disabled by default). Once enabled, its settings can be accessed through Integrations > Maintenance Mode.
Tip: When not planning on scheduling maintenance it is best to leave the Maintenance Mode Server plug-in disabled to prevent it from constantly checking if it needs to go into Maintenance Mode or not.
Publishing to WordPress is now possible over a secure connection such as HTTPS.
For more information, see:
Changes
The following change has been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.0.3 build 133:
Numbering options added to the Planning interface
A PageNumber element has been added to the SmartEditorialPlan wsdl. Its purpose is to support variants of human readable page number variations. Currently supported options are:
- Prefixes of page numbers
- Styles: roman lower case, alpha numeric lower case, Arabic, roman upper case, alpha numeric upper case
This improvement includes some limitations:
- No support for using a mixture of styles and prefixes in the same planned layout.
- Page style and page prefix cannot be made Edition dependent.
To benefit from this improvement, the following is required:
- Smart Connection for CC 2014 version 10.2.5 or higher
- Enterprise Server 10.1.1 or higher or the upcoming Enterprise Server 10.0.3
Smart Connection will transform the page numbers of the planned pages to actual page numbers in InDesign.

Enterprise Server 10.0.1 build 102
Release date: 15 August 2016
Downloads
The download files for Enterprise Server 10.0.1 can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.0.1 build 102.
Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server makes it possible to instantly push message notifications — such as when a user updates the properties of a file — to client views of all users who are connected to Enterprise. This way, users will immediately see any changes that another user makes.
Because RabbitMQ can be used over LAN connections (local users) and WAN connections (remote users), it can be seen as an alternative to the n-cast feature of earlier versions of Enterprise Server, which only works via broadcasting or multi-casting over LAN connections.
The following overview shows how RabbitMQ and n-casting is supported for the various clients and how the use of RabbitMQ and n-casting compares between Enterprise Server 9 and 10:
Note: Rabbit MQ and n-casting can be used side-by-side to serve different client versions.
| Enterprise Server 9.8 | Enterprise Server 10.0.1 or higher | |
|---|---|---|
| Content Station 9 Web | Messaging not supported | Messaging not supported |
|
Content Station 9.8 Smart Connection CC 2014 |
n-casting (LAN) only | n-casting (LAN) only |
|
Smart Connection CC 2015 |
n-casting (LAN) only | n-casting (LAN) and RabbitMQ (LAN/WAN) |
| Smart Connection CC 2017 | Not supported | n-casting (LAN) and RabbitMQ (LAN/WAN) |
| Content Station 10 | Messaging not supported | RabbitMQ (LAN/WAN) only |
The following table summarizes the pros and cons of using n-casting and RabbitMQ:
| Feature | n-casting | RabbitMQ |
|---|---|---|
| Local users | Yes | Yes |
| Remote users | No | Yes |
| Network traffic per message | 1K at once | 1K per client |
| User access rights checked | No | Yes |
| Extra 3rd-party installation needed | No | Yes |
A new option named 'PageSyncDefaultsToNo is introduced with which the default behavior for synchronizing produced pages and planned pages (always update) can be overruled. This option can be set for InDesign Server through the configserver.php file or the WWSettings.xml file, and for InDesign through the WWSettings.xml file.
Note: For the InDesign Server Automation feature, the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option is already enabled.
For more information, see Configuring the synchronization of produced pages and planned pages using Enterprise Server 10 .
Preview and output generation is triggered when a file is set to a particular Workflow status and when the Output option for this status is set.
However, systems such as MadeToPrint, Journal Designer, Claro, and Smart Mover that integrate with Enterprise Server also use Workflow Statuses and can set files to a different status as part of their process. When the Workflow Status of a file is changed when being processed by any of these systems, triggering an InDesign Server Automation job is not desired.
Objects can therefore now be prevented from being processed by the InDesign Server Automation feature when they reach such a Workflow Status. This is done by setting the 'Skip InDesign Server Automation' option for that Workflow Status and can be used for the following types of objects:
- Articles
- Images
- Layouts
- Layout Modules
- Spreadsheets
Figure: The 'Skip InDesign Server Automation' option for Workflow statuses.
For more information about the InDesign Server Automation feature, see Setting up InDesign Server Automation in Enterprise Server 10.
Changes
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.0.1 build 102:
When a PDF or EPS file is added to Enterprise, the process of extracting the metadata can be handled by the Enterprise Server plug-in named "PHP Preview and Meta Data" or by integrated systems such as ImageMagick.
Because integrated systems are typically much better at extracting metadata, the chance that the task of extracting metadata is delegated to the Server plug-in has been reduced by lowering the 'canHandleFormat' level for EPS and PDF files in this plug-in from 7 to 5.
When the InDesign Server Automation feature is used, gaps can appear in the version numbering of layouts.
This is because the previous version of the layout is now automatically deleted when a layout preview is generated. (In an InDesign Server Automation environment in which many layout previews are generated, no changes typically exist for each layout version. To make sure that the maximum number of stored layout versions is not too quickly exceeded and to not take up disk space with many similar files, the previous version is automatically removed.)
Example: Versions 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 exist. A new layout preview is generated. Now, versions 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 exist.
A new Enterprise module for Drupal 7 is available as part of fixed issue EN-86816. This fixes the problem that when an article was published using the Scheduler, it was published twice: once as a preview and once as the published article.
When publishing to Drupal 7, please uninstall the current Enterprise Module and install the new version.

Enterprise Server 10.0.0 build 88
Release date: 30 June 2016
Downloads
The download files for Enterprise Server 10.0.0 can be found in the Release announcement.
New features
The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.0.0 build 88:
In preparation of implementing a new messaging system, support for RabbitMQ has been added to Enterprise Server 10. This makes it possible to push messages accross the internet to provide live updates for remote workers. However, it still needs to be implemented in the client applications and is therefore not functional.
Note that not all clients will support this new feature (for example Content Station AIR), and that it will therefore eventually run side-by-side with the UDP-based broadcasting / multicasting feature.
Enterprise Server 10 also supports MySQL 5.7
Changes
The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.0.0 build 88:
Enterprise Server 10 now also includes Zend Framework 2 (ZF2), together with Zend Framework 1 (ZF1).
Please consider upgrading your custom plug-ins to support ZF2.
For Enterprise Server 10, the Message Format Specification is included in the Web Services Guide 3.3.0.
