New features

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.
