This topic provides a summary of the key updates, enhancements, and fixes included in the EnterWorks 11.2 release.

The following are the new features introduced in this release for EnterWorks.

Enhanced user management

EnterWorks now introduces improvements to the user management workflow, making it more intuitive and consistent.

Key enhancements include:
  • A streamlined User Creation and Editing process with updated navigation and form behaviors.
  • Improved User Listing screen with additional fields for better tracking.
  • User based security is no longer available in new UI.

Installation and upgrade process changes

The EnterWorks 11.2 release introduces significant updates to the installation and upgrade process. These changes affect both new installations and in-place upgrades from earlier versions. It is strongly recommended that you review the updated installation and upgrade documentation before initiating the process.

For complete details, refer to the following documents:

Enhanced group management and permissions

EnterWorks enhances the Group Management process by introducing new capabilities and workflows for adding, editing, and managing groups.

Key updates include:
  • Enhanced group listing screen: Displays a new Number of Users column for better visibility.
  • Refined permissions model: Improved control over system and non-system user actions, ensuring appropriate access levels for adding, editing, and deleting groups.
  • Updated group creation workflow: A step-by-step wizard guides users through adding basic details, assigning users, selecting languages, setting capabilities, and configuring display attributes.
  • Optimized delete and copy group functions: New confirmation workflows and validation rules improve efficiency and prevent errors.
  • Security enhancements: Granular user security settings ensure precise control over read, edit, and delete permissions.
  • Capability-based group assignment: Only the capabilities assigned to the logged-in user will be available for further group assignment.
  • Language-based group assignment: Only the languages assigned to the logged-in user will be available for further group assignment.

Enhanced date and time presentation

EnterWorks now provides improved date and time presentation between client and server time zones. A new shared configuration, attr.timezone.conversion, has been introduced, allowing users to choose whether to display the client or server time zone for date/time related State Attributes (metadata associated with records/data model). Setting the attribute to 1 displays the client time zone, while 0 displays the server time zone. By default, it is set to 1.

Support for record preview capability

EnterWorks now provides a Record Preview function that allows users to view the content of a record within the repository without downloading it. When enabled, a Record Preview option appears in the Repository View activity bar. If no template is available on the server, a default popup directs you to the access EnterWorks Guide.

  • You can preview records stored in the repository.
  • Both shared templates and repository-specific templates are supported:
    • Shared templates are stored in the server folder named '0'.
    • Repository-specific templates are stored in the server folder named after the {repositoryId}.
  • A dropdown list allows users to select from available templates, sorted alphabetically. The first template in the list loads by default.
  • Users can download the selected preview as a PDF file.
  • The Record Preview modal supports custom styling and JavaScript libraries, including Bootstrap and jQuery.
  • EnterWorks provides a sample toolkit to facilitate easy access to metadata using ewrelation and ewattr attributes.
  • The fireEnable2020ng() function enables communication between EnterWorks and the Preview HTML template, supporting:
    • pull-data: Retrieves product record details.
    • repo-metadata: Fetches repository metadata.

Address validation with Data Integrity Suite

EnterWorks now integrates with Data Integrity Suite (DIS) to validate and correct addresses in the New UI's Detail Editor. When enabled for a repository, an icon appears beside any configured attribute. For address validation, users can enter an address, click the icon, and choose a validated or recommended match from the Address Validation editor. The selected address updates the record automatically.

Additionally, EnterWorks now supports bulk address validation using an export and scheduled import process:

  • Export addresses for validation: Configure an Export Template with the BulkGeoAddress PostProcessor to send addresses for validation.
  • Update records through scheduled import: Use a Scheduled Import job to update records with validated address data.

This functionality does not affect validation states. A DIS license is required.

New system settings interface

EnterWorks introduces a new System Settings screen, providing administrators with a centralized interface to configure key system parameters. The inteface enhances system configuration, enhances logging and caching management, and improves overall system maintenance.

System Settings enables administrators to:
  • Adjust log level settings for troubleshooting and performance analysis.
  • Manage data cache to reflect recent updates after changes to profiles, code sets, taxonomies, and hierarchies.
  • Configure server properties such as scheduled cleanup, user session timeouts, and log retention.
  • Modify shared configurations across multiple servers for system wide settings.
  • Manage supported languages, including adding, enabling, or disabling system languages.
Log Level Settings
  • Administrators can configure Web Application Logger (Tomcat) and EJB Application Logger (JBoss Controller/Worker).
  • For production environments, log levels should be set to Severe, while testing environments may use Warning or Info
Data Cache Management
  • Cache must be cleared after modifying the data model to ensure changes take effect.
  • New options include:
    • Clear Web Application Cache
    • Clear EJB Application Cache
    • Clear All (both caches simultaneously)
Server Properties
  • Configure Scheduled Cleanup for automatic system maintenance, including:
    • Job History Cleanup
    • Record Change History Cleanup
    • User Session Timeout settings
    • Saved Set Retention Policies
Shared Configurations
  • System-wide properties can be managed across multiple servers through the Shared Configuration List.
  • Edits require cache clearing and may involve modifying configuration files directly on the server.
Language Management
  • Administrators can add, enable, or disable languages within the system.
  • If a language is added or enabled, snapshot tables must be rebuilt to apply changes.
  • Multi-language repositories are supported, and permissions can be assigned at the user group level.

Enhanced bulk upload and Digital Asset Management (DAM) improvements

EnterWorks enhances bulk upload processing, improving asset visibility, reporting, and workflow efficiency.

Key highlights include:

  • Improved asset visibility and reporting : Hot folder uploads now provide the same tracking and reporting as UI based uploads.
  • Bulk upload enhancements: Support for ZIP file uploads and better progress visibility.
  • Orphaned image reporting: Identify and optionally delete orphaned images.
  • Refactored regenerate utility : Enhanced job framework for improved processing efficiency.
  • Restored classic functionalities: Support for attribute assignment during upload.
  • Enhanced asset preview: Preview assets without downloading.
  • New DAM 2.0 service: Improved efficient job framework for processing DAM uploads.
  • Security enhancements: Enforces security context by prefixing file names during upload.
  • Zip hierarchy support: When enabled, uploading ZIP files with folder hierarchy will replicate the structure in the DAM master and link images to specific nodes accordingly.
  • Security context in Damdrop: When this feature is enabled, users can drop images into subfolders named after their security context (for example, a folder named "2" for a user with security context "2"). These images will then be restricted and visible only to that specific user and the admin.
  • Updated DAM link table: Enhanced the UI to allow image drops into the DAM link upload box, with additional options to assign context and rename files during the upload process.
  • Job-based DAM processing: DAM processing is now managed through Jobs rather than background processes, providing improved visibility.
    Note: This change may require updates to any custom workflows to align with the new implementation.

Single Sign-On support for client services

EnterWorks now supports system-to-system authentication using the Client Credentials grant type, allowing client microservices to securely interact with EnterWorks APIs with the same SSO application used for user authentication. This enhancement enables integration with OAuth-based Identity Providers (IDPs) such as Okta and Azure AD, ensuring secure token validation and authentication. To support this setup, new configuration flags have been introduced: oauthIDP, oauthIssuerLink, oauthAudience, oauthSubToLoginMap, and oauthJwksURL.

Improved script automation and service management

EnterWorks introduces improved script automation and service handling to enhance system management, logging, and maintenance processes. Key updates include:

  • Script Execution Logging: The ScriptExecutionLogger.ps1 captures execution details for better traceability of system scripts.
  • Service Startup Configuration: Most EnterWorks Windows services now default to manual startup, ensuring better control over system processes.
  • Automated File Archival and Cleanup: The FileArchivalAndCleanup.ps1 script enables automatic archiving and purging of log files based on configurable age thresholds.
  • Custom Script Execution: Users can integrate custom maintenance scripts without modifying core system scripts.
  • Automated Dependency Validation: The RemoteEnterWorksStartup.ps1 script now verifies and starts dependent services before launching critical system components, ensuring proper startup order.
  • Folder Consolidation and Custom JAR Deployment: EnterWorks now automatically deploys custom JAR files and consolidates service files for easier maintenance.
  • Branding and Custom File Retention During Upgrades: Branding assets and custom files in Tomcat and EnterWorks UI are automatically preserved during upgrades.
  • JVM Heap Settings Retention: JVM configurations for Tomcat and Wildfly servers are now automatically retrieved and applied during upgrades, eliminating manual adjustments.

Support for Microsoft Exchange Email using OAuth2 authentication

EPX Email Bic now supports Microsoft Exchange email SMTP authentication using OAuth2 with client credentials, ensuring secure and uninterrupted email functionality. Administrators must configure Microsoft Exchange for SMTP OAuth2 authentication and provide the required credentials (Email Account, Application ID, Object ID, Tenant ID, and Secret ID).

To enable OAuth2 authentication in DesignConsole, users must update the EPX Email Bic configuration with the appropriate SMTP settings and credentials in the required format. Additionally, the Enterworks.properties file must be updated with encrypted authentication details. For detailed setup instructions, refer to the Microsoft documentation.

Enhanced owner Edit functionality in Multi-Item Editor

The Owner Edit functionality in the Multi-Item Editor allows users with the appropriate group owner security configurations to edit all applicable fields instead of only certain ones. Additionally, selecting all records manually ensures proper multi-edit functionality.

Support for 64-bit Windows

SmartTemplatePro is now only compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows.
