Version 11.5 is a minor release. It includes the following major enhancements:
A full list of enhancements and update notes can be found here.
The appearance of the User Portal has been improved to enhance usability and provide a clean, modern interface. Because of these changes, if you are upgrading to 11.5 without running a full install (i.e., if you are simply replacing the product JAR files), you must delete the portal/css and portal/images directories from the WEB-INF/classes directory. (It is recommended that you back up these directories prior to deletion.) If you are using a database dataspace, delete these directories and all their contents from the Data Space tab of Enterprise Manager. If you have made any changes that affected these directories (e.g., custom CSS), you will need to manually reapply your settings. Please also be sure to clear your browser cache.
New audit reports have been added in version 11.5. To make use of the new reports, press 'Create Schema' on the 'Audit Configuration' page of Enterprise Manager. This will not impact any previously saved audit records.
Access to Enterprise Manager can now be granted on a user, group, and role basis for users who require administrative privileges in a multi-tenant environment. Permissions for various Enterprise Manager tabs can be assigned under the 'Action' node of the 'Objects' tab.
The Selection Tree component now supports recursive hierarchies defined by parent and child IDs. To specify a recursive hierarchy, select the 'Parent/Child IDs' option in the 'Data' tab of the 'Selection Tree Properties' dialog box.
Hadoop/Hive is now supported as a JDBC data source. Note that a number of limitations exist, including the inability to define data models for this data source. See the documentation for full details.
The chart target line feature has been enhanced to include target bands (regions defined by upper and lower bounds) and statistical measures such as percentages, percentiles, quantiles, confidence intervals, and standard deviations.
Chart axes can now be repositioned and resized by clicking and dragging on the axis lines. Additionally, the spacing of chart elements can be controlled by clicking and dragging in the plot area.
HTML content can now be embedded within Viewsheet text (e.g., Table cells, Text components, Selection Lists) by using <html> and </html> tags. The HTML tags that are supported are the same as those supported by the Flex 'label.htmlText' component. See the documentation for further details.
A Viewsheet can now be set to 'Scale to Screen', which means that the dashboard will dynamically resize to fit the browser window.
Viewsheet components can now be localized by assigning a Text ID on the 'Localization' tab of the 'Viewsheet Options' dialog box. The translation text for these Text IDs is assigned in the SreeBundle file together with report Text ID translations.
Data sources can now be organized into folders, and an administrator can assign permissions on a folder-by-folder basis.
A new 'Schedule' button has been added to the report and dashboard toolbars. This button opens a simplified interface for basic scheduling of a report or dashboard. The full 'Schedule' tab interface remains available for creating more complex scheduled tasks.
Email attachments that are bundled as Zip files can now be password protected. This feature is available by default for new installations on Windows and Mac. For Linux installations and upgrades from previous versions, follow these steps:
The inetsoft.sree.schedule.ScheduleExt interface now includes the method "viewsheetRenamed()." If you implement the ScheduleExt interface, you must implement the "viewsheetRenamed()" method.
