New features
The following features have been introduced in this release of Enterprise Server:
Elvis 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:
Elvis 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:
- Installing and upgrading. Steps have been added to the process of installing or upgrading to Enterprise Server 10.8. For more information, see:
- Enterprise Server 10 full installation
- Upgrading an existing installation of Enterprise Server 10
- 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.
- 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

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. |

EN-92417 Add support for InDesign Server 2020 to Enterprise Server.
EN-92440 Change the indesignserverjobs.jobscript column datatype from `blob` to `mediumblob`.
