1. New

1.1.  DCM Lists Component

DCM-Lists is part of the new DCM (Case-Modelling) solution, and only available in Blueriq 15.13 and up. For more information, please check the Blueriq latest spaces.

To accommodate DCM 2.0 and improve separation of concerns, the DCM Lists Component has been split into two modules: The DCM Lists Client Component and the DCM Lists Publisher component. The DCM Lists Client Component is responsible for retrieving list data and presenting it to the user while the DCM Lists Publisher Component is responsible for updating the DCM Lists Service with case or task changes.

1.2. Timeline SQL Store Component

Until this release, the Trace SQL Store component was needed to provide SQL storage for both Trace information and Timeline information. This tight coupling could lead to some unwanted side effects:

  • It was not possible to store either Trace information or Timeline information. Both had to be enabled, which would cause unnecessary data to be stored.
  • When Trace information was traced using the Trace Event Publisher Component, it would not be possible to store and retrieve Timeline information in a database.

In this release, we separated the timeline data storage from the Trace SQL Store component to the Timeline SQL Store component, to provide a greater flexibility in configuring trace and timeline separately.

Check the linked pages and the Release 14.6 Upgrade Instructions for more information on how to configure the timeline separately from the trace.

Note that there are some backwards compatibility measures in place, so if you have a project that doesn't contain custom code, the trace and timeline storage will behave like they did before.

1.3.  Blueriq Development Dashboard - New widget

In this blueriq version we added a new widget to the Runtime Development Dashboard; the Exposed Blueriq functions. It works equal to the Exposed Blueriq webservices widget. The new function widget helps you get the url and parameters for the functions that you explicitly want to expose 'as a webservice' for testing purposes. More information about Functions can be in this section: Functions and function calls.

DCM_ExecuteTask service type for DCM 2.0

For use in DCM 2.0, we have introduced the Service call type: DCM_ExecuteTask service call. In the near future the behavior shall be changed, but at this moment the behavior is identical to the AQ_ExecuteTask service call.

Running external themes from the development dashboard

We have introduced the option to run applications from the development dashboard via custom themes, which are not prepackaged with the Blueriq Runtime. More information regarding this topic can be found in the documentation about the new development dashboard

Component

Issue

Solution

CSD-3910, CSD-3901

JAVA Runtime

When the development-tools profile was enabled, but no studio connection was configured, a NullPointerException would show in the log.

The NullPointerException will not occur anymore when no studio connection has been configured.

BQ-13973


When using DCM 2.0 and when throwing a message event with a parameter with type date or datetime, the date value would not be interpreted as a correct value.

This has been fixed.

CSD-3900

JAVA Runtime

Validations added to a header, fragment or argument of a REST message were ignored.

When a REST message has no body, the validation of headers was skipped. It is now checked that if the message has no body, headers, fragments and arguments are still validated.

BQ-12525


When the External Flow profile was enabled, but the license didn't allow the usage of External Flow, Blueriq would not start.

Blueriq is now always able to start with the External Flow profile enabled, but will report a fatal error for applications that actually contain External Flows.
