Deprecate elements in Encore

It is now possible to manage the evolution of a model by deprecating elements in Blueriq Encore using the built-in label called "Deprecated". A deprecation will generate a validation warning for each usage of the deprecated element. This signal can be used by business engineers to other business engineers to communicate that an element will be removed in a future version. 

OpenAPI feed improvements part 2

Continuing on Blueriq 17.4, more OpenAPI feed improvements have been added to the current release in order to provide standardized and clear documentation on Blueriq web services and thereby improve collaboration with consuming parties.

From this release:

• It is possible to exclude documentation of specific operations from the OpenAPI documentation.
• Validations on fields and parameters are communicated automatically and as clearly as possible (using JSON schema semantics) in the OpenAPI feed.

 Process messages for a deleted case in DCM Lists

Sometimes a message is processed in the DCM Lists for a case that has just been deleted just. The reason for this is that messages can be processed out of order, especially when using multiple consumers. This would now lead to an exception, which would cause the message to be retried until it fails definitively in the maintenance app. There is can then only be manually removed. To fix this, cases are not directly removed from the case engine, but instead get a flag that they are marked for removal. These cases are then ignored by the DCM Lists application, unless a message is processed that relates to that specific case. Then the DCM Lists application can process that message (by discarding and logging it).

As this means that cases are no longer removed from the database, the database may grow and degrade performance because of that. To prevent this, a cleanup mechanism runs at a specified interval, cleaning up cases marked for deletion before a specific time. For more information, see Case deletion in DCM Lists [editor].
