About this Release
BETA CAE Systems announces the release of SPDRM v1.9.2.
This version delivers a number of enhancements and fixes to the users of the most advanced Simulation Process Data and Resources Management software.
The most important enhancements and fixes are listed below.
Enhancements and known issues resolved
Enhancements
Data Model
From now on, the DM Schema supports conditional generation rules for the auto-filling of attributes by concatenating other attributes of the DM Object. For example, different Name composition could be requested for a Simulation Model according to its Discipline.
It is now possible to apply a conditional generation rule as an exception to the general generation rule defined for an attribute. In this case, when the condition is satisfied, the conditional generation rule will be applied, whereas in all other cases, the generic generation rule will be used.
This version also introduces the setting "trim_empty_sections" that can be used in generation rules to request the suppression of empty composants from the generated values.
Data Lifecycle
It is now possible to temporarily deactivate the Lifecycle Management for the current session of the SPDRM Admin Console. The following script functions are added to support this functionality:
- dm.activateLBR
- dm.deactivateLBR
- dm.isLBRActivated
Process Observer / HPC submission
The 'Start', 'End' and 'Last Update' dates of submitted jobs are now listed out-of-the-box in the 'Submitted Jobs' workspace.
Script API
The new script function dm.getDefinitionIdOfInstancePart enables the identification of a definition part based on one of its instances.
Furthermore, the following script functions can take as input an instance id:
- dm.getSPDRMAttributes
- dm.getDMItemAdditionalAttributes
- dm.downloadFileById
System Configuration
SPDRM now fully supports UNC paths. This enhancement eliminates the need to map network drive letters on Windows client machines, simplifying access to network resources (e.g. vault, client directory, registered applications).
This version introduces the log file downloads for the BAL and RIOC microservices via a REST API endpoint, offering increased convenience and integration.
Known issues resolved
Data Model
An error could occur while trying to set privileges on any of the DEFAULT_ITEMS through the DM Structure (Schema) editor.
Process Design / Execution
In case a configuration file set-up in the respective Registered Application was missing from the defined location, the node would finish its execution without launching the application and with no warning message.
Script API
The dm.showProperties function would fail to open the Properties window of a Part without representation file.
Data Model
A new part representation would not be saved in SPDRM if user role was other than Administrators.
