New features

The following features have been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

ClosedElvis integration: archiving and restoring Digital articles

When Elvis and Enterprise are integrated, Digital articles (created in Content Station) can now be archived from Enterprise to Elvis. This is typically done some time after the article has been published. During this process, the following types of files are also archived:

  • Images that are part of the article (but not necessarily in the same Dossier as the article)
  • Images, audio files, and video files that are in the same Dossier as the article

Other types of files such as layouts and Tasks are ignored and not archived.

When the published article needs to be updated, the original archived article can be restored in Enterprise, edited in Content Station, and published again.

Take note of the following requirements:

  • Enterprise Server 10.8.0 or higher
  • Elvis Server 6.40 or higher
  • Content Station 11.52 or higher

For more information, see:

ClosedElvis integration: automatically storing audio files and video files in Elvis

When an audio file or video file is added to Enterprise it can now be automatically stored in Elvis instead of in the File Store of Enterprise. The file is stored in the Production Zone folder in Elvis while a shadow object (referred to as a 'Production shadow object') is stored in Enterprise.

For more information, see Controlling how files are stored in the Elvis 6 - Enterprise 10 integration.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Compatibility. Various changes have been made to the compatibility between Enterprise Server and other systems, as shown in the following table.
Technology/feature Remarks
PHP

Added: support for PHP 7.3.

Dropped: support for PHP 7.2.
ionCube Loader

Added: support for ionCube Loader 10.3.7.

Dropped: support for ionCube Loader 10.3.2.
Adobe

Added: support for Adobe InDesign 2020, Adobe InDesign Server 2020, and Adobe InCopy 2020.

Dropped: support for Adobe InDesign CC 2015, Adobe InDesign Server CC 2015, and Adobe InCopy CC 2015.
Content Station

Required: When using Content Station in combination with Enterprise Server 10.8 or higher, Content Station 11.52 or higher is required.

This version of Content Station contains support for PHP 7.3 and ionCube Loader 10.3.2 which are required by Enterprise Server 10.8 or higher.
Elvis integration

Required: Archiving and restoring Digital articles requires Elvis Server 6.40.
ProxyForSC The Proxy for Smart Connection has been upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2 and requires PHP 7.3.
  • Connecting Enterprise Server and Elvis Server to Enterprise Cloud Services. The Digital articles that are created in Content Station Aurora make use of various resources such as Component Sets, styles, custom swatches, and so on. These resources are stored in a central location in the cloud in a system named Enterprise Cloud Services. In previous versions of Enterprise Server, a connection between Enterprise Server and Enterprise Cloud Services was established automatically. This now has to be done manually as part of the Content Station installation.

When Elvis Server is integrated with Enterprise Server and Digital articles are archived from Enterprise to Elvis, Elvis Server also has to be manually connected to Enterprise Cloud Services so that these resources can be used for previewing Digital articles.

Connecting a server to Enterprise Cloud Services is done on the Tenant registration page.

For more information, see Connecting Enterprise Servers and Elvis Server to Enterprise Cloud Services.

The Tenant registration page of a system that is not yet added.

  • Archiving files from Enterprise to Elvis. The method of archiving files from Enterprise to Elvis that was used in previous versions of Enterprise Server is not supported anymore. The Enterprise Import plug-in for Elvis that is used in that method has been deprecated.
  • Elvis integration: change to shadow object versioning. In previous versions of Enterprise Server, versions were created each time an object was uploaded or saved by Smart Connection or Content Station, including shadow objects. At the same time, versions were also created by Elvis. As a result, additional synchronization and merging of version information had to take place.

To simplify this process, Enterprise Server 10.8 no longer creates versions for shadow objects that are uploaded or saved by Smart Connection or Content Station. Instead, the information is now stored in the following new Elvis properties:

  • sceStatus
  • sceStatusId

Documentation

The following documentation accompanies this release of Enterprise Server:

Known issues

The following known issues exist for this release of Enterprise Server:

  • Archiving Digital articles:
  • Archived Digital articles should not be copied within Elvis because this does not regenerate the StoryId (used by the Open For Edit feature to look up the latest revision of the article).
  • Restored objects do not have the 'ID of Original' (MasterId) set.
  • Restarting MySQL 5: After restarting MySQL 5 the auto increment counters are not preserved (See MySQL bug #199). For Enterprise Server this may lead to data corruption, especially when removing workflow objects just before a restart.

To avoid this, either use MySQL 8 or run the Health Check after a restart of MySQL 5 (the Health Check detects this problem and provides a link that can automatically solve it).

Chances that this happens will increase when for example archiving or deleting workflow objects during nightly hours and subsequently restarting or starting up the MySQL server early in the morning.

Background info: For each table the database keeps track of an auto increment counter that is increased each time a new record is added to the table.

Consider a scenario in which 5 records exist with IDs 1,2,3,4, and 5. When the last 2 records are removed and then 2 new records are added, the resulting IDs will be 1,2,3,6,7.

However, when after deleting the two last records MySQL 5 is first restarted before adding the 2 new records, the auto increment counters are not preserved and so the resulting IDs will be 1,2,3,4,5 instead.

This could result in records from one table referring to incorrect records in another table.

Fixed issues

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

EN-92417 Add support for InDesign Server 2020 to Enterprise Server.

EN-92440 Change the indesignserverjobs.jobscript column datatype from `blob` to `mediumblob`.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

  • InDesign Server Automation: new configuration option. Controlling if pages that were created or changed by a planning tool should be processed by the InDesign Server Automation can now be controlled by the IDSA_PLANNED_PAGES_PROCESSING option. It accepts the following values:
  • true. An InDesign Server Job is created for the InDesign Server Automation to process pages that are created or changed by the Planning tool.
  • false. No InDesign Server Job is created; pages that are created or changed by the Planning tool are not processed by the InDesign Server Automation.

Example: define ( 'IDSA_PLANNED_PAGES_PROCESSING', false );

This option takes over this control from the existing option 'PageSyncDefaultsToNo', see the Changes section.

For more information, see Setting up InDesign Server Automation in Enterprise Server 10.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Planned pages: use of the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option. In previous versions, the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option performed two tasks:
  1. It made sure that planned pages were not synchronized when an InDesign Server Job was picked up by InDesign Server.
  2. It made sure that an InDesign Server Job was created for the InDesign Server Automation to process pages that are created or changed by the Planning tool.

Task 1 is still taken care of by the PageSyncDefaultsToNo option but task 2 is now controlled by the IDSA_PLANNED_PAGES_PROCESSING option. See the New features section.

  • Planned pages synchronization.The option 'PageSyncDefaultsToNo' is no longer compulsory. When it is not set in the configserver.php file or the config_overrule.php file, no error will be shown anymore on the Health Check page.
  • ExifTool configuration options added. When images are uploaded, Enterprise Server extracts metadata. This metadata is used for populating basic metadata fields (such as author, credit, format, and so on), as well as specific fields such as width and orientation (used for cropping images).

The ExifTool is part of the Enterprise Server installation and can now optionally be configured by defining the order in which image properties are resolved. This is based on the metadata containers (such as 'Exif', 'XMP', an 'IPTC') that are extracted by the ExifTool application.

Different metadata containers can contain different values for the same image attribute.

Example: 'Credit' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ] means that first the 'IPTC' metadata container is used to resolve the 'Credit' attribute. If this gives a result, the 'XMP' container is ignored. Only in case of no result is the 'XMP' container used.

To do this, configure the following option:

if( !defined( 'EXIFTOOL_METADATA_ORDER' ) ) {
	define( 'EXIFTOOL_METADATA_ORDER', serialize(
			[
				'Author' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Credit' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'ColorSpace' => [ 'EXIF', 'XMP' ],
				'Comment' => [ 'XMP', 'IPTC' ],
				'DocumentID' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Description' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'DescriptionAuthor' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Copyright' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Keywords' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Slugline' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Source' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Format' => [ 'File', 'XMP' ],
			]
		)
	);
}

Uncomment the attribute and change the order of the containers as needed.

Notes:

  • Not all containers are applicable for every attribute.
  • The ordering is only supported for the attributes that are listed.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

  • Support for Single Sign-on (SSO) using Okta. Single sign-on is a process in which users log in once to an authentication provider that manages their user credentials.

Once logged in to that authentication provider, each subsequent log-in to an application that is connected to that provider is automatically handled by that system. This drastically reduces the number of times that users have to manually log in on a daily basis.

Implementing single sign-on in Enterprise Server can be beneficial for users who access Enterprise Server through various applications: the Enterprise Server Maintenance pages, Content Station Aurora, and Smart Connection.

Single Sign-on can now be implemented by making use of authentication provider Okta and is supported for the following versions:

  • Enterprise Server 10.7.0
  • Smart Connection 12.3.0 for Adobe CC 2017
  • Smart Connection 13.1.0 for Adobe CC 2018 (not yet released)
  • Smart Connection 14.1.0 for Adobe CC 2019 (not yet released)
  • Content Station 11.43 or higher and its accompanying Desktop application

To support SSO, the following Web Services have been added:

  • GetWebAppAuthenticationInfo
  • GetNativeAppAuthenticationInfo

The following property has been added to the LogOnRequest:

  • Params

For more information, see:

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Improved usability of Maintenance pages: To make working with the Maintenance pages more user friendly, additional tools have been added to various pages. With these tools, the following actions can now be performed:
  • Column sorting
  • Selecting or de-selecting all rows
  • Deleting selected rows
  • Filtering based on user input
  • Controlling the maximum number of rows to show on a page
  • Pagination

The Overview of users page

The improvements (where applicable) can be found on the following pages:

  • Brand maintenance
  • Access Profiles
  • Overview of User Groups
  • Overview of Users
  • User Group Maintenance
  • User Maintenance
  • InDesign Server Jobs
  • InDesign Servers
  • Named Queries
  • Support for Overruled Issues has been dropped. Support for the Overruled Brand feature (used in print publications, also known as the 'Overruled Issues feature') has been dropped in Enterprise Server 10.7.0.

Should you make use of this feature in your current Enterprise Server environment, do the following before upgrading to Enterprise Server 10.7.0 or higher:

  • Safeguard the content by either migrating or archiving it.
  • Make sure that 'Overrule Brand' is not selected on the Issue Maintenance pages for any of the Brands.
  • Logon flow changes. Changes to the logon flow have been made which can impact any integration that uses the LogOnService.
  • The RequestTicket property has been removed from the LogOnRequest.
  • The RequestInfo property has been deprecated in the LogOnRequest.
  • The following Web Services have been added to supersede the RequestInfo:
  • GetPublications
  • GetNamedQueries
  • GetServerInfo
  • GetUsers
  • GetUserGroups
  • GetTerms
  • GetMessageList
  • GetMessageQueueInfo
  • GetUserProfile
  • GetAuthorizations
  • GetCustomProperties
  • GetUserProfile
  • The following properties have been deprecated in the LogOnResponse:
  • Publications
  • NamedQueries
  • ServerInfo
  • Settings
  • Users
  • UserGroups
  • Membership
  • ObjectTypeProperties
  • ActionProperties
  • Terms
  • FeatureProfiles
  • MessageList
  • MessageQueueConnections
  • MessageQueue
  • The following properties will always return null in the LogOnResponse:
  • TrackChangesColor
  • Dictionaries

For more information about the changes, see the Web Services Guide.

  • Health check changes: The Health Checks named 'Logon/Logoff' and 'LDAP' have been combined into a single Health Check named 'Authentication'.
  • Licensing. The following changes have been made:
  • Enterprise Server will not automatically fall back on a Content Station Basic license anymore when a user logs in with Content Station Pro while no Basic licenses are available, or when the user does not have sufficient access rights.
  • All Enterprise Server communication with the WoodWing Activation Server (WAS) will now happen over HTTPS. This has the following consequences:
  • The WoodWing Activation Server URL has been changed. This could have impact on any firewall settings.
  • When using an Enterprise Server without SSL enabled, the licensing process in the Enterprise Server Maintenance pages will now show warnings regarding unsafe HTTP communication.
  • Adobe DPS. Support for creating content that is to be published with Adobe DPS has been dropped.
  • Changes to managing users and user groups when using an identity provider. Using an identity provider such as LDAP or Okta has the following effect on managing users on the User Maintenance page in Enterprise Server:
  • The following fields are disabled :
  • New Password
  • User Cannot Change Password
  • Password Expiration in Days
  • Valid From
  • Valid Till
  • When user groups are managed by the identity provider, the options to manage user groups are hidden.
  • Content Station CS4 Article Conversion plug-in. The Content Station CS4 Article Conversion plug-in is no longer shipped with Enterprise Server.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

  • MSSQL databases. Extra attributes for connecting to a MSSQL database are now supported, for example for setting the Failover_Partner or MultiSubnetFailover. Setting these options is done via the MSSQL_EXTRA_CONNECTION_OPTIONS option in the configserver.php file. For a list of the supported options see the Microsoft documentation.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Logging: When the DEBUGLEVEL is set to INFO, additional information is now logged related to licensing auto renewal. This makes it possible to log the renewal activities without having to switch to the high-level DEBUG mode.
  • Dialog setup: In the dialog setup and query setup, an order number can now only be assigned to dynamic properties and custom properties. The assigned value should also be higher than the highest value of the static properties. This is done because Smart Connection expects the fields to be in a certain order.
  • PHP Preview and Metadata Server plug-in. This plug-in now also sets basic metadata properties (such as the file size) when a file is uploaded. It is recommended to always have this plug-in enabled (which it is by default).

Additional information: The file size property is used for determining whether or not a file can be automatically permanently deleted. In the case of a planned image or planned advert for example, the file size is zero. When such a file is moved to the Trash Can, the system detects this empty file size and therefore automatically permanently deletes the file.

To prevent other files from being permanently deleted by the system, it is important therefore that the file size is always set. This is now handled by the 'PHP Preview and Metadata' plug-in when the file is uploaded to the system. It is therefore important that this plug-in is always enabled.

New features

The following feature has been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

The image is stored in the Production Zone folder in Elvis while a shadow object (referred to as a 'Production shadow object') is stored in Enterprise.

For more information, see Controlling how files are stored in the Elvis 6 - Enterprise 10 integration.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Compatibility. Various changes have been made to the compatibility between Enterprise Server and other systems, as shown in the following table.
Technology/feature Remarks
Adobe InDesign Server

Added: support for InDesign Server CC 2019. (Note: this requires Smart Connection for Adobe CC 2019 which is currently planned for Q1 2019.)
AMF

Deprecated:  the AMF protocol for all Web services.

Although it still included in the software, integrators are advised to use the JSON or SOAP protocol instead.
Application servers

Dropped: support for MacOS as an application server.
Content Station

Required: When using Content Station in combination with Enterprise Server 10.6 or higher, Content Station 11.31 or higher is required.

This version of Content Station contains support for PHP 7.2 and ionCube Loader 10.3.2 which are required by Enterprise Server 10.6 or higher.

Dropped: Support for Content Station 9.
Elvis integration

Required: Elvis Server 6.27 or higher.
Enterprise Server plug-ins

Dropped: support for Enterprise Server plug-ins that integrate with the following 3rd-parties:

  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Drupal 7
  • Drupal 8
  • WordPress
  • OpenCalais
  • Adobe AEM

Customers are advised to move to Aurora publishing instead.

Added: Support for PHP 7.2. For upgrade instructions, see 'Reviewing optional steps' in Upgrading an existing installation of Enterprise Server 10.
HTML Link files

Dropped: support for the HTML Link Files feature.

This feature was introduced in the very early days of Enterprise and allowed system admins to access PDF files in case of a catastrophic database failure just before the production deadline.

This in fact it is a fail-over feature created in times way before the introduction of cloud, where databases were maybe less trusted and 3rd-party tools were maybe lacking or more expensive than they are currently.

In other words: its need diminished over the years.

Other reasons for not supporting this feature anymore include the following:

  • It is hardly used.
  • It has some performance impact on workflow operations.
  • Its frequent updates of the File Store folder causes many unintentional triggers for 3rd-party tools that are backing up the File Store, thereby making this process inefficient.
ionCube Loader

Added: support for ionCube Loader 10.3.2.

Dropped: support for ionCube Loader 10.02.
MSSQL

Added: support for MSSQL 2017.

Dropped: support for MSSQL 2014.
MySQL

Added: support for MySQL 8.

Dropped: support for MySQL 5.6.
PHP

Added: support for PHP 7.2.

Dropped: support for PHP 7.1.
PHP on Linux

(Possibly) required: manual upgrades to newer PHP versions than those provided out-of-the-box.

In former versions of Enterprise Server, WoodWing has aimed to support the PHP version as shipped with the supported Linux flavors and versions.

However, this no longer holds because of worsening external factors.

On one hand, some Linux flavors (such as RedHat) may provide rather old PHP versions for their recent release. On the other hand, PHP only gives 1.5 year maintenance support.

For most major or minor releases of PHP it takes third-parties (such as ionCube Loader) 6 months to get stable enough for Enterprise Server.

This narrows the window of PHP support, which is important when it comes to security fixes.

Enterprise Server however, integrates with many more 3rd-party components — such as Zend Framework, Solr, MSSQL driver, and so on — which enforces it to support a recent PHP version for its new releases.

As a result of all these external factors, some Linux installations may require manual upgrades to newer PHP versions than provided out-of-the-box.
ProxyForSC The Proxy for Smart Connection has been upgraded from 1.0 to 1.1 and requires PHP 7.2.
Publish Forms

Deprecated: the use of Publish Forms (a feature of Content Station 9). Customers are advised to move to publishing using Content Station Aurora instead.

Note for integrators: The following is also deprecated:

  • The publishing Server plug-in connector interface "PubPublishing_EnterpriseConnector" defined in the Enterprise/server/interfaces/plugins/connectors/PubPublishing_EnterpriseConnector.class.php file
  • The publishing Web services defined in the Enterprise/interfaces/EnterprisePublishing.wsdl file

Although the use of Publish Forms is still supported, integrators are advised to migrate their solutions to Aurora publishing instead.
Server Jobs

An Enterprise Server Job is prevented from being created when an identical Server Job has already been created within the last 60 seconds.

This scenario can occur when multiple Enterprise Servers are set up with identical scheduling configurations.
Solr

Added: support for Solr 7.6.

Dropped: support for Solr 7.4.
Zend Framework

Dropped: support for Zend Framework 1.

Although it is still in the Enterprise Server package, the framework classes are no longer automatically included. Integrators should use Zend Framework 3 instead.
  • Elvis integration. Various changes have been made to the integration with Elvis, as shown in the following table.
Technology/feature Remarks
Database model

In the Elvis InDesign plug-in that is shipped with Enterprise Server 10.6.0, changes to the database model have been made.

When upgrading, make sure therefore to run the 'Elvis Content Source' test on the Health Check page of Enterprise Server to ensure that the changes are reflected in the database. Follow the suggested steps that are shown in the test results.
Access rights
  • Access rights for the Production Zone folder do not need to be also set in Elvis anymore. These are now controlled by the Access Rights that are set on the shadow objects in Enterprise Server.
  • Extended rights for the Elvis Default user. For users that are unknown to Elvis, the fallback user — as configured in the ELVIS_DEFAULT_USER option in the elvis_config.php file — is the actor for changes made to an asset in Enterprise that are synchronized in Elvis. In previous versions, the default user was not allowed to edit images stored in Elvis by using Enterprise client applications such as Content Station or Smart Connection. When the integration is set up in such a way that images are automatically stored in Elvis when they are added to Enterprise, the default user will be used to create these images in Elvis. This user is now also allowed to edit images.

Restoring archived layouts

Configuring how images placed on archived layouts are restored in Enterprise is now done through the ELVIS_CREATE_COPY option in the config_elvis.php file of the Elvis Content Source Plug-in. In previous versions this was done through the IMAGE_RESTORE_LOCATION option of that file.

See Restoring an archived layout in Elvis 6 Server - configuration.
Terminology

Renamed the term 'variant' to 'Production shadow object' to better indicate that it is a shadow object that is linked to the original file that is stored in the Production Zone.

See Controlling how files are stored in the Elvis 6 - Enterprise 10 integration.

Using Elvis assets in Enterprise

Support for using assets from Elvis as a shadow object in Enterprise has been dropped. This method allows the original file to be directly modified which can be unwanted, for example when the file is archived or used in multiple publications.

Use the method of creating a Production shadow object instead where a copy is first made of the original file in Elvis and stored in the Production Zone. The shadow object is then based on that copy instead of on the original file in Elvis. See Controlling how files are stored in the Elvis 6 - Enterprise 10 integration.

As a result, the following configuration options are no longer supported:

  • The ELVIS_CREATE_COPY_WHEN_MOVED_FROM_PRODUCTION_ZONE option
  • The 'Shadow_Only' value for the ELVIS_CREATE_COPY option

Changes

The following change has been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • ExifTool configuration options added. When images are uploaded, Enterprise Server extracts metadata. This metadata is used for populating basic metadata fields (such as author, credit, format, and so on), as well as specific fields such as width and orientation (used for cropping images).

The ExifTool is part of the Enterprise Server installation and can now optionally be configured by defining the order in which image properties are resolved. This is based on the metadata containers (such as 'Exif', 'XMP', an 'IPTC') that are extracted by the ExifTool application.

Different metadata containers can contain different values for the same image attribute.

Example: 'Credit' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ] means that first the 'IPTC' metadata container is used to resolve the 'Credit' attribute. If this gives a result, the 'XMP' container is ignored. Only in case of no result is the 'XMP' container used.

To do this, configure the following option:

if( !defined( 'EXIFTOOL_METADATA_ORDER' ) ) {
	define( 'EXIFTOOL_METADATA_ORDER', serialize(
			[
				'Author' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Credit' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'ColorSpace' => [ 'EXIF', 'XMP' ],
				'Comment' => [ 'XMP', 'IPTC' ],
				'DocumentID' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Description' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'DescriptionAuthor' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Copyright' => [ 'EXIF', 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Keywords' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Slugline' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Source' => [ 'IPTC', 'XMP' ],
				'Format' => [ 'File', 'XMP' ],
			]
		)
	);
}

Uncomment the attribute and change the order of the containers as needed.

Notes:

  • Not all containers are applicable for every attribute.
  • The ordering is only supported for the attributes that are listed.

New features

The following features have been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:

  • Support for Adobe InDesign CC 2019. Support has been added for Adobe InDesign CC 2019.
  • MSSQL databases. Extra attributes for connecting to a MSSQL database are now supported, for example for setting the Failover_Partner or MultiSubnetFailover. Setting these options is done via the MSSQL_EXTRA_CONNECTION_OPTIONS option in the configserver.php file. For a list of the supported options see the Microsoft documentation.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Dialog setup: In the dialog setup and query setup, an order number can now only be assigned to dynamic properties and custom properties. The assigned value should also be higher than the highest value of the static properties. This is done because Smart Connection expects the fields to be in a certain order.
  • PHP Preview and Metadata Server plug-in. This plug-in now also sets basic metadata properties (such as the file size) when a file is uploaded. It is recommended to always have this plug-in enabled (which it is by default).

Additional information: The file size property is used for determining whether or not a file can be automatically permanently deleted. In the case of a planned image or planned advert for example, the file size is zero. When such a file is moved to the Trash Can, the system detects this empty file size and therefore automatically permanently deletes the file.

To prevent other files from being permanently deleted by the system, it is important therefore that the file size is always set. This is now handled by the 'PHP Preview and Metadata' plug-in when the file is uploaded to the system. It is therefore important that this plug-in is always enabled.

Elvis integration. In the Elvis InDesign plug-in that is shipped with Enterprise Server 10.5.2, changes to the database model have been made.

Make sure therefore to run the 'Elvis Content Source' test on the Health Check page of Enterprise Server to ensure that the changes are reflected in the database. Follow the suggested steps that are shown in the test results.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • RabbitMQ integration: configuring connection timeouts. When Enterprise Server connects to RabbitMQ it sends HTTP requests using the REST protocol or the AMQP protocol. The timeout period for both protocols has been lowered and can now also be controlled through the following options in the configserver.php file:
  • RABBITMQ_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT. When Enterprise Server connects to RabbitMQ, it sends HTTP requests. The timeout period for these requests has been set to 2 seconds and can be controlled through this option.

Note: The higher the number, the more the Enterprise workflow operations are delayed in case RabbitMQ is suddenly no longer accessible. The lower the number, the higher the risk of losing push message notifications.

  • RABBITMQ_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT. During a workflow operation (such as file check-in, save version, and so on), Enterprise Server invokes RabbitMQ by sending HTTP requests. The timeout period for these requests has been set to 2 seconds and can be controlled through this option.

Note: The higher the number, the more the Enterprise workflow operations are delayed in case RabbitMQ is suddenly operating very slow. The lower the number, the higher the risk of losing push message notifications.

For more information, see Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server 10.

  • RabbitMQ integration: Improving performance by excluding users from receiving notifications. When Enterprise Server connects to RabbitMQ, it sends HTTP requests for each Brand that a user has access to. This includes Issues for which the Overrule Brand option is enabled.

Each request takes a few milliseconds to complete, so even when a user has access to a few dozen Brands the process does not take long. When a user has access to a significantly high number of Brands though, the log-on duration can be negatively impacted.

While it is common practice for Enterprise installations to limit the number of Brands that a user has access to, some users (such as Brand administrators or system administrators) will typically have access to a high number of Brands. However, for those users the push message notifications may be not important.

These users can now be excluded from receiving notifications by setting the RABBITMQ_MAX_PUBLICATIONS option in configserver.php. In it, the maximum number of Brands that a user can have access to in order to receive notifications through RabbitMQ is specified.

When the number of Brands that a user has access to is lower than or equal to the defined maximum, notifications are sent to that user by RabbitMQ.

When the number of Brands that a user has access to is higher than the defined maximum, notifications are not sent to that user by RabbitMQ.

The users that are excluded from receiving notifications by RabbitMQ as a result of setting this option can be seen by running the RabbitMQ test on the Health Check page. It will also show the number of Brands and overruled Issues that each user has access to.

For more information, see Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server 10.

  • RabbitMQ integration: Setting up Enterprise Server jobs to clean up message queues. When RabbitMQ is temporarily down during production hours, Enterprise Server can no longer push message notifications.

Enterprise Server can also not remove message queues in RabbitMQ when tickets expire or when users log off.

The result of both scenarios is that the resource administration of RabbitMQ may get out-of-sync.

If RabbitMQ would remain down for many hours while many users are connected, many message queues could remain abandoned in RabbitMQ forever. If this problem repeats itself many times, there is a potential risk that RabbitMQ gets exhausted by using too many resources.

For this purpose, message queues in RabbitMQ can now be periodically cleaned up by running the Enterprise Server Job named AutoCleanRabbitMQ.

For more information, see Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server 10.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Upgrading: Upgrading from an earlier version of Enterprise Server to Enterprise Server 10.5 can only be done from Enterprise Server 9 and higher. When upgrading from Enterprise Server 8 or lower, first upgrade to Enterprise Server 9 or 10.

For a full overview, see Upgrade paths for Enterprise Server.

  • Compatibility: The following compatibility changes have been made:
  • Adobe CC: Support for Adobe CC 2014 has been dropped.
  • RabbitMQ: Enterprise Server 10.5 requires RabbitMQ 3.7. Support for RabbitMQ 3.6 has been dropped.
  • Solr: Enterprise Server 10.5 requires Solr 7.4.0. Support for Solr 6.2.1 has been dropped.
  • MadeToPrint: The current MadeToPrint implementation is set to 'Deprecated' and will be replaced by a dedicated Enterprise Server plug-in from Enterprise Server 10.6.0 onwards.
  • Elvis Server. Enterprise Server 10.5 requires Elvis Server 6.18 or higher. For details, see below.

For full details, see the Compatibility Matrix.

  • Elvis integration. The connection between Enterprise and Elvis has been made more secure and stable. This results in the following changes:
  • The Elvis plug-in is now shipped with Enterprise Server and is the only version that is supported for use with that version of Enterprise.
  • The Enterprise/config/plugins/Elvis folder has been moved to Enterprise/server/plugins/Elvis.
  • The config.php file has been renamed to config_elvis.php and has been moved to the Enterprise/config folder.
  • The ELVIS_SUPER_USER option has been renamed to ELVIS_DEFAULT_USER.
  • The ELVIS_SUPER_USER_PASS has been replaced by the ELVIS_CLIENT_ID and ELVIS_CLIENT_SECRET options.
  • Support for integrating the Elvis app in Content Station 9 has been dropped when Enterprise Server 10.5.0 or higher is used. Please be aware that you will loose this functionality when upgrading to Enterprise Server 10.5. Content Station 9 itself can still be used in combination with Enterprise Server 10.5. Adding files from Elvis to Enterprise can then be done by using the Pro client of Elvis 6.
  • The Elvis integration now also works with AWS ALB (it already worked with AWS ELB).
  • The field handlers that are used for mapping metadata fields in Elvis with those in Enterprise have been renamed.

Example:

Old name New name
ReadWriteFieldHandler Elvis_FieldHandlers_ReadWrite
ReadOnlyFieldHandler Elvis_FieldHandlers_ReadOnly
  • Dialog Setup. The Dialog Setup page in previous versions of Enterprise Server is used for adding a property to a dialog box and for controlling the available columns for the List View in client applications. The following changes have been made to this page:
  • To improve the useability it has been split into a Dialog Setup page and a Query Setup page.
  • When creating a new setup, mandatory properties are now automatically added while regularly used properties can be optionally automatically added.

For more information, see:

  • jQuery and jQuery-ui. jQuery has been updated from jQuery 1.10.2 to 3.3.1. jQuery-ui has been updated from jQuery-ui 1.8.24 to jQuery-ui 1.12.1.

This folder is used by InDesign Server for storing previews and write-to-fit calculations, and by Enterprise Server to create workspaces when articles are edited in Content Station (Aurora). For more information, see Working with Enterprise Server Jobs in Enterprise Server 10 and Cleaning up temp files in Enterprise.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • The business connector named 'Session_EnterpriseConnector' has been deprecated from Enterprise Server version 10.4.1 onwards and will be removed in Enterprise Server version 10.5.0.

This business connector interface was introduced in Enterprise Server 8.2 and can be found at the following location in an Enterprise Server installation:

  • Enterprise/server/interfaces/plugins/connectors/Session_EnterpriseConnector.class.php

It contains a ticketExpirationReset() function that was introduced for the Elvis integration to keep the Elvis sessions valid for the Enterprise users. It was later decided to implement a different solution and as a result, this business connector interface is no longer used. We want to remove the interface because it causes a small delay for every Web service in Enterprise.

Note: If you have developed a custom server plug-in for Enterprise Server that implements the Session business connector interface, check if the getConnectorInterfaces() function of in the PluginInfo.php module of your server plug-in lists the Session_EnterpriseConnector option. If that is the case, contact WoodWing Support and provide information about the business case for which the connector is needed.
  • The Enterprise Server property 'MasterId' (used in the Related pages feature) can now be set via the setObjectProperties service. For more information about using this service, see The Web Services SDK of Enterprise Server 10.

This includes 'authkey:xxx' as the creator name for those cases where the file was uploaded to Elvis via a Shared Link.

Note: Some context of how this feature used to work in previous versions:

When an Elvis file was added to Enterprise which was created by an Elvis user that did not exist in Enterprise, the Elvis user was automatically created as a new user in Enterprise and the name of the Elvis user was used for populating the Creator field and the Modifier field in Enterprise. However, this resulted in many 'orphan' or 'not-real' users in the system.

This was resolved by using the name of the user who added the file to Enterprise.

For the scenario where a file in Elvis was modified in Elvis by a user who did not exist in Enterprise, the name of the Enterprise user who accessed the Version information was shown as the creator. This created confusion because it was of course not the Enterprise user who created the file version.

The change in Enterprise Server 10.3.0 applies to this last scenario. Although names are now displayed of users who might not exist as a user in Enterprise, names of the users who have actually made the modification are now more consistently shown in the Version history.
  • Web apps: deprecated apps have been removed. The Web Applications (also known as Maintenance pages) which were deprecated in Enterprise Server 10.0.5 have now been completely removed. It concerns the applications Search and Reporting.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • RabbitMQ integration: configuring connection timeouts. When Enterprise Server connects to RabbitMQ it sends HTTP requests using the REST protocol or the AMQP protocol. The timeout period for both protocols has been lowered and can now also be controlled through the following options in the configserver.php file:
  • RABBITMQ_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT. When Enterprise Server connects to RabbitMQ, it sends HTTP requests. The timeout period for these requests has been set to 2 seconds and can be controlled through this option.

Note: The higher the number, the more the Enterprise workflow operations are delayed in case RabbitMQ is suddenly no longer accessible. The lower the number, the higher the risk of losing push message notifications.

  • RABBITMQ_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT. During a workflow operation (such as file check-in, save version, and so on), Enterprise Server invokes RabbitMQ by sending HTTP requests. The timeout period for these requests has been set to 2 seconds and can be controlled through this option.

Note: The higher the number, the more the Enterprise workflow operations are delayed in case RabbitMQ is suddenly operating very slow. The lower the number, the higher the risk of losing push message notifications.

For more information, see Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server 10.

  • RabbitMQ integration: Improving performance by excluding users from receiving notifications. When Enterprise Server connects to RabbitMQ, it sends HTTP requests for each Brand that a user has access to. This includes Issues for which the Overrule Brand option is enabled.

Each request takes a few milliseconds to complete, so even when a user has access to a few dozen Brands the process does not take long. When a user has access to a significantly high number of Brands though, the log-on duration can be negatively impacted.

While it is common practice for Enterprise installations to limit the number of Brands that a user has access to, some users (such as Brand administrators or system administrators) will typically have access to a high number of Brands. However, for those users the push message notifications may be not important.

These users can now be excluded from receiving notifications by setting the RABBITMQ_MAX_PUBLICATIONS option in configserver.php. In it, the maximum number of Brands that a user can have access to in order to receive notifications through RabbitMQ is specified.

When the number of Brands that a user has access to is lower than or equal to the defined maximum, notifications are sent to that user by RabbitMQ.

When the number of Brands that a user has access to is higher than the defined maximum, notifications are not sent to that user by RabbitMQ.

The users that are excluded from receiving notifications by RabbitMQ as a result of setting this option can be seen by running the RabbitMQ test on the Health Check page. It will also show the number of Brands and overruled Issues that each user has access to.

For more information, see Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server 10.

  • RabbitMQ integration: Setting up Enterprise Server jobs to clean up message queues. When RabbitMQ is temporarily down during production hours, Enterprise Server can no longer push message notifications.

Enterprise Server can also not remove message queues in RabbitMQ when tickets expire or when users log off.

The result of both scenarios is that the resource administration of RabbitMQ may get out-of-sync.

If RabbitMQ would remain down for many hours while many users are connected, many message queues could remain abandoned in RabbitMQ forever. If this problem repeats itself many times, there is a potential risk that RabbitMQ gets exhausted by using too many resources.

For this purpose, message queues in RabbitMQ can now be periodically cleaned up by running the Enterprise Server Job named AutoCleanRabbitMQ.

For more information, see Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server 10.

  • RabbitMQ integration: change in queue name. The RabbitMQ queue name format has changed from ticket.<ticket> to user.<userId>.ticket.<ticketId>.

Note: When upgrading to Enterprise Server 10.1.10 or any other higher version of 10.1, run the RabbitMQ test on the Health Check page in your current installation to make sure that no orphaned queues exist after the upgrade.

  • Publishing processed images using Content Station 9. By default, when publishing an image to the Internet (such as to Drupal, WordPress, or Twitter) using Content Station 9, and that image is cropped or scaled, the image is published without any property values. Including properties can now be done by configuring them using the option named 'PROCESSED_IMAGE_PROPERTIES_PUBLISH_OPTIONS' in the configserver.php file of Enterprise Server. For details, see the comments in the file.

Integrating RabbitMQ in Enterprise Server makes it possible to instantly push message notifications to client views of all users who are connected to Enterprise (for example when a user updates the properties of a file). This ensures that users immediately see the changes that other users make.

Support for RabbitMQ 3.7 has now been added to Enterprise Server.

For a full overview of the compatibility between Enterprise Server and RabbitMQ, see, the Compatibility Matrix.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Twitter Publish Form: support for tweets containing up to 280 characters. The maximum length of Twitter messages (tweets) that are sent by using the Publish Form in Content Station 9 has been extended from 140 to 280 characters.
  • LDAP: passwords are no longer shown on the PHP Info page. The LDAP password (obtained when importing LDAP groups) is revealed in session (cookie) variables. These variables are displayed on the PHP Info page (accessed from the Health Check page). From Enterprise Server 10.1.8 onwards, PHP variables are no longer shown on this page to prevent the exposure of this password.

ClosedLogging: quick access added to the generated log files

When logging is enabled for Enterprise Server, the generated log files can now be accessed through the 'Server Logs' application that has been added to the Advanced page.

Server Logs

Opening the application will show a list of daily log directories.

Daily directories

Each of these directories links to a list of directories named after the client IP.

IP directories

From there, the log files can be accessed.

Log files

ClosedLogging: Automatically cleaning up the Log table

When Service logging is enabled, the smart_log table can quickly fill up with a large number of entries. This can result in performance issues.

An Enterprise Server Job named 'AutoCleanServiceLogs' has now been added for automatically and periodically cleaning up the smart_log table (see Working with Enterprise Server Jobs).

Configuring the time period after which the entries in the smart_log table should be deleted can be done through the following option in configserver.php (or better, the config_overrule.php file):

  • AUTOCLEAN_SERVICELOGS_DAYS

Make sure also that the options LOGLEVEL and AUTOCLEAN_SERVICELOGS_DAYS are enabled by setting them to any value other than 0 (zero).

For more information, see:

ClosedLicense warnings made clearer

When an issue occurs with a license in Enterprise, a warning is displayed to the user.

Examples:

  • "The concurrent users limit has been reached."
  • "License is expired."
  • "The current license has to be renewed."
  • and so on...

However, the text in the messages did not indicate that the issue was to do with licenses for WoodWing. The messages have therefore been updated by including 'WoodWing':

  • "The concurrent WoodWing users limit has been reached."
  • "WoodWing license is expired."
  • "The current WoodWing license has to be renewed."
  • and so on...

Changes

The following changes have been made in this version of Enterprise Server:

  • Logging: Service logs now also contain failed log-on attempts (a log-in attempt in which the user name and/or password was incorrect) In previous versions, only successful attempts were logged.
  • InDesign Server Automation: When InDesign Server Automation is used, a preview is now also generated for layout templates and Layout Module templates. This makes it possible to let instances of InDesign Servers fully handle preview generations. In previous versions of Enterprise Server, preview generation for layout templates and Layout Module templates needed to be handled by the client applications.

  • 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.

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.

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:

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:

  • PHP 5.4 will remain supported with Enterprise Server version 10.1.1 and lower.
  • With the next minor release (Enterprise Server 10.2), we will only support PHP 5.6 and 7.0.
  • Enterprise Server 10.1.2 will really not work on PHP 5.4. Not only will the Health Check fail, but the whole server will not function.

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.

New features

The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.1.1 build 130:

ClosedElvis integration: storing an asset in Elvis as a variant

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.

ClosedSetting Enterprise Server to Maintenance Mode to prevent users from logging in during maintenance

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.

The Maintenance Mode page

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.

ClosedSupport for publishing to WordPress over a secure connection

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.

Change in Maintenance and Innovation versions

As announced previously, Enterprise Server 9.4 and Content Station 9.4 are reaching the end of their lives. As of 2 November 2016 therefore, the following changes are implemented:

  • Enterprise Server 10.0 and Content Station 9.8 become the new Maintenance versions.
  • For Enterprise Server 9.4 and Content Station 9.4 a long-term extended maintenance version for an additional 12 months is introduced to allow migration at your own pace. The maintenance offers support upon request for issues that are blocking and which require technical assistance and / or software updates.

So what does that mean in practice?

For Enterprise Server:

  • Enterprise Server 10.1 is the new Innovation version
  • Enterprise Server 10.0 is the new Maintenance version
  • We offer long-term extended maintenance on Enterprise Server 9.4 untill November 2017

For Content Station:

  • Content Station Air 9.8 is the new Maintenance version for Content Station AIR
  • We will only release Innovation versions for Content Station 10 due to the rapid release cycle and the continued implementation of features to be on par with Content Station AIR.
  • 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:

ClosedUsing a central file to configure Enterprise Server 10

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.

ClosedNew Access Right to restrict a user from editing a file once the file is placed on a layout or used in a Publish Form

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.

ClosedSupport for image cropping

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.

Closed Introduction of new metadata properties ‘Dimensions’ and ‘Orientation’

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.
ClosedExifTool integration

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:

ClosedOption to control image quality conversion by ImageMagick when publishing to Web

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 merge

Changes

The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.1.0 build 120:

ClosedImprovement in the way Authorization Rules are managed

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.

Example

For more information, see Adding a user to a Brand in Enterprise Server 10.

ClosedChange in the way the DPI format is stored

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.

Changes

The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.0.5 build 168:

  • Support for PHP 5.4 dropped. With the release of Enterprise Server 10.0.5, PHP 5.4 is no longer supported. Note that it was supported for Linux only.
  • 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.

A message on the Web apps page.

New features

The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.0.3 build 133:

ClosedSetting Enterprise Server to Maintenance Mode to prevent users from logging in during maintenance

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.

The Maintenance Mode page

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.

ClosedSupport for publishing to WordPress over a secure connection

Publishing to WordPress is now possible over a secure connection such as HTTPS.

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.

New features

The following new features have been introduced in Enterprise Server 10.0.1 build 102.

ClosedIntegration of RabbitMQ

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 ensures that users immediately see the changes that other users make.

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 by the various clients and how the use of RabbitMQ and n-casting differs between Enterprise Server 9 and 10:

Note: Rabbit MQ and n-casting can be used side-by-side to serve different client versions. When n-casting was previously implemented but is now no longer used (for example because applications that only support n-casting are no longer used), it is advised to disable n-casting.

  Enterprise Server 9.8 Enterprise Server 10.0.1 or higher

Content Station 9 Web

 Messaging not supported Messaging not supported

Content Station 9 AIR

 n-casting (LAN) only n-casting (LAN) only

Smart Connection CC 2014

 n-casting (LAN) only n-casting (LAN) and RabbitMQ (LAN/WAN)

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
Content Station 11 (Aurora) Messaging not supported RabbitMQ (LAN/WAN) only

The following table summarizes the capabilities 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
ClosedPlanned pages versus produced pages: overruling the default synchronizing behavior

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 .

ClosedInDesign Server Automation: Skip option

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

The Skip InDesign Server Automation option

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:

ClosedHandling of metadata extraction for PDF and EPS files

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.

ClosedVersion numbering of layouts: gaps can appear when InDesign Server Automaton is used

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.

ClosedNew Enterprise module for Drupal 7

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:

ClosedRemote messaging

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.

ClosedSupport for MySQL 5.7

Enterprise Server 10 also supports MySQL 5.7

Changes

The following changes have been implemented in Enterprise Server 10.0.0 build 88:

ClosedSupport for Zend Framework ZF2

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.

ClosedMessage Format Specification documentation

For Enterprise Server 10, the Message Format Specification is included in the Web Services Guide 3.3.0.

Documentation

The documentation for Enterprise Server 10 can be found on the documentation page.
