1. Introduction

This document contains release notes for iKnowBase software releases 7.3.2 (latest) and back to release 6.0 (oldest). For older versions, refer to earlier release notes.

Two important issues before you continue:

  • The installation guide is upgraded for every version. Please read the installation guide before starting your upgrade process.

  • Always upgrade a test environment before upgrading the production environment, and make sure that the new version works well with your existing applications and solutions.

2. New features

This chapter lists major new features for each release. Note that there might be many smaller enhancements not shown in this chapter, listed in detail in the "closed issues" chapter.

2.1. Release 7.3.2

iKnowBase 7.3.2 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. There are no major new features in this release.

2.2. Release 7.3.1

iKnowBase 7.3.1 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. There are no major new features in this release.

2.3. Release 7.3

  • Simplified continuous deployment of plugins. Plugin developers may now assemble and deploy their plugin to centralized development server(s) directly from command line, IDE or administration console.

  • Plugin support for custom WebDAV file structure. Information stored in iKnowBase can now be represented as files and folders accessible using a WebDAV client (Microsoft Windows Explorer, GoodReader, ++). All regular file and folder operations are supported (list, read, create, rename, update, copy, move, delete). The directory structure is fully customizable.

  • Plugin support for Java SDK Portlet enables seamless integration of plugin content in iKnowBase Page.

  • Content Transformation support in Content Query API enables both Content Transformation links and actual transformation of binary content.

2.4. Release 7.2

  • iKnowBase application has been migrated to the Spring Boot platform and is now deployed as a single application.

  • New Content Transformation Service for transformation of binary content.

    • Cacheable on demand transformation replaces generation of image variants during save. This results in faster response times during save. It also significantly consumes less storage since only actually used variants are stored in cache. The service is also more flexible since the transformations are not required to be defined in database before use.

    • Leverages preexisting support from existing Image Editor, File Converter, Oracle Multimedia and Oracle Text.

    • New transformation support via CloudConvert (www.cloudconvert.com).

  • Major enhancements to Java plugin development.

    • Simplified build setup through use of iKnowBase Gradle script plugins.

    • Simplified development through use of @ComponentScan.

    • Greatly enhanced testing support from Spring Boot.

  • Improved caching options for static resources. Supports cache headers, versioned resource resolution and in-memory caching of static resources.

  • iKnowBase Web Server now handles on-the-fly compression of all text content (html, text, css, js, …​)

  • Database persisted sessions are now activated by default and offers session availability, which means that

    • Users will not be logged out nor loose any session data if the server is restarted.

    • You may load balance multiple nodes without using session persistence / sticky sessions, which makes it easier to distribute load evenly.

2.5. Release 7.1

iKnowBase 7.1 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. There are no major new features in this release.

2.6. Release 7.0

  • Java development enhancements

    • Additional java APIs available for interacting with content

      • ContentQuery for querying for documents and other content

      • DimensionQuery for querying for dimensions

    • Additional Java APIs provides access to Content and Presentation Services for applications that live outside the iKnowBase web application (standalone applications, external web application, integration engines, etc.)

      • ContentServicesEngine for accessing the iKnowBase Content Services

      • PresentationServicesEngine for using the iKnowBase Presentation Services

    • Source code generator for creating java objects and constants matching the iKnowBase metadata, for typesafe java code

    • Simplified development of plugin forms using Spring MVC, bean validation, file based FreeMarker and iKnowBase services.

  • Template enhancements

    • The template engine now support JavaScript templates on the server, through the nashorn JavaScript engine available in java 8.

    • The template engine now supports "chained templates", making it possible to combine two templates in the same request. This enables using for example groovy or javascript for logic, leaving formatting to a more traditional FreeMarker template.

  • WebDAV enhancements

    • The WebDAV browser integration does not longer require the SharePoint plugin. Chrome has recently deactivated plugins based on NPAPI and iKnowBase will now by default use Microsoft Office URI scheme protocol extensions instead.

    • The WebDAV server no longer requires a dedicated hostname for itself. While dedicated hostnames are still supported, the new WebDAV module will automatically detect and serve WebDAV traffic for Microsoft Office clients, on the same host and port as the main iKnowBase application.

    • Support for form based authentication has been added, which extends the existing authentication support with both social (e.g. Google) and SAML2 options (e.g. Microsoft ADFS). See WebDAV compatibility section for more information.

  • Solr integration enhancements

    • It is now possible to configure the SolrServer-connection using the Development Toolkit. This gives full control of the SolrServer configuration, including configuration parameters or even the use of custom SolrServer classes.

  • Oracle Text

    • Now possible to disable indexing of file (binary) content in Oracle Text, which results in reduced index size, reduced growth and better performance. This is particularly useful if you’ve started using SOLR search and no longer require this information in the regular iKnowBase Search Sources. See Installation Guide > Database repository.

  • iKnowBase LDAP Synchronization enhancements

    • Support for synchronizing users and groups from OpenDJ.

  • iKnowBase web server enhancements

    • Support for HTTPS Server Name Indication (SNI) makes it possible to use more than one SSL certificate on iKnowBase web server. This is a typical requirement when hosting multiple sites on the same server and it is now also possible without SSL termination in front of iKnowBase web server.

2.7. Release 6.7

  • The various iKnowBase web applications have been merged to a single application, with configuration options to enable and disable features as required. This eases both development and deployment, and it reduces the memory requirements for a typical installation.

  • Third-party authentication support has been extended with:

    • Microsoft Live / Microsoft account.

    • SAML2, which enables authentication with SAML2 compatible Identity Providers, such as Microsoft ADFS, Feide and Salesforce.

  • Plugin development has gone through a major reconstruction with:

    • New build setup for root project and plugin projects.

    • Significant simplification to build logic, project structure, run, debug, and assemble plugin. No additional generated build projects just a root project and your plugins.

    • Support in iKnowBase Quickstart utility for assembling the iKnowBase .war deployment with all plugins.

    • Major improvements in the Export utility, it now if possible to run precheck against the target destination without file download/upload. This eases the job of creating valid transport sets importable on the destination.

2.8. Release 6.6

  • iKnowBase now ships with a security framework based on Spring Security, which provides a number of interesting features:

    • The framework has a large number of supported authentication modules, including BASIC, form, Windows spnego, etc. Multiple modules may be active at the same time.

    • Form-based login is supported for all environments, and is the default for the embedded QuickStart application server.

    • Third-party login is supported through extension to the spring security framework. iKnowBase ships with support for google, facebook, twitter and linkedin-basert authentication.

    • Java-based controllers may now verify ACL-membership as part of their authorization checks.

  • The ServiceAPI has been significantly enhanced, both in syntax and functionality, across both the PL/SQL and Java layers. Custom application development using the API is much simpler, and the resulting code is much simpler, than before.

    • Many references to metadata (document types, attributes, etc) can be done using a String value for externalKey, instead of a full ObjectReference object.

    • The most important object types now have a number of easy-to-use constructors that simplify code.

    • Document attribute values are automatically converted during save, according to the attribute type.

    • The SaveDocumentAttributes API allows saving of attributes without having to construct a full Document object. External keys for standard document properties (such as IKB$TITLE) lets you update the title of a document without the document object.

  • A new command in ikbStudio lets you convert FreeForm and tabular presentation styles to template presentation styles with a single click, with reliable "revert" functionality if the output is not as expected.

2.9. Release 6.5

  • Support for arbitrary text editors in Forms, so that you may choose for example TinyMCE 4, CKEditor or others. The mechanisms used for this support make it easy to upgrade the editor in a customer installation, without requiring an iKnowBase-upgrade, for example when an editor vendor releases a patch to support a new browser.

  • An iKnowBase-plugin for TinyMCE 4, so that you can add "link archive" and "image archive" buttons to a TinyMCE 4 editor.

  • The ContentServer now supports the Http Range header, which is a requirement for various media players to work. Playing video from iKnowBase just got easier!

  • Development toolkit has been enhanced with features around front end controller mechanisms, to develop web pages endpoints using java technologies. The toolkit also supports using the iKnowBase template technology from your java applications, and to execute iKnowBase Pages from within java code.

  • A new EmailSender service uses java-based email technology as part of the Batch server. This enables access to more functionality such as SSL-based connections, mail server authentication and setting arbitrary SMTP-headers. It also enables email sending from environments where the database itself does not have access to an email server, such as certain secure network or the Amazon RDS for Oracle cloud database platform.

  • A new ImagedEditor service uses java-based image editing technology as part of the Batch server. This enables access to image editing in environments where the database does not support Oracle Multimedia extensions, such as the Amazon RDS for Oracle cloud database platform.

  • With the two extensions above, iKnowBase can run using an Amazon RDS for Oracle cloud database platform. Note that support for Amazon RDS should be considered experimental in this release.

  • The iKnowBase instant request-response interface has been extended, and now supports a uniform mechanism for sending messages and querying for state information across protocols. The interface is available using the all the Instant APIs: JavaScript, HTTP and PL/SQL.

  • The iKnowBase Quickstart embedded web server supports HTTPS natively. While we generally recommend terminating HTTPS in a front end appliance or service (such as Apache httpd or similar), there are scenarios where you want or need to serve connections directly from Quickstart. These scenarios can now run HTTPS, too.

2.10. Release 6.4.1

This is a critical maintenance release addressing database connection leak issues and contains no new features.

2.11. Release 6.4

  • Enhanced WebDAV server support based on the Milton IO framework. You can now create a link directly from any iKnowBase Content Viewer to the proper Microsoft Office application, in order to edit the document directly.

Note
Requires WebDAV enterprise edition license from Milton IO
  • Enhanced Solr search engine support, allow you to use multiple Solr installations (or Solr "cores") independently. This can be useful as an additional security layer for search setup, where you can build entirely independent indexes for intranet and internet users, with different information available.

  • Development Toolkit for building java components and assembling these as part of the iKnowBase applications. While the toolkit is fully supported, it is not finalized and the underlying APIs may change in the next versions. To start using this toolkit, contact the iKnowBase product development team for more information.

2.12. Release 6.3

  • Integrated framework for publishing realtime messages (push messages).

  • Links to HTML, PDF and Plain text versions of a document can easily be added to a page. PDF-versions require a separate license namely "iKnowBase Document Conversion Service".

  • Includes Activiti BPMN process engine version 5.13.

  • Includes Solr search engine version 4.2.

2.13. Release 6.2

A new search engine based on Apache Solr is included.

  • Uses the Lucene library for full-text search

  • Faceted navigation

  • Hit highlighting

  • Replication to other Solr servers

  • Extensible through plugins

  • Pluggable relevance - boost through formula

  • Stemming, synonyms, spelling

  • Autocomplete functionality

2.14. Release 6.1

  • A BPMN process engine based on Activiti.org is included. Activiti is a light-weight workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) Platform targeted at business people, developers and system admins. Its core is a super-fast and rock-solid BPMN 2 process engine for Java.

  • The new iKnowBase Process Studio with an overview of process definitions and process instances.

  • The security model now includes personal access control lists (ACL).

  • FTP-server support against the WebDAV file system. Use a standard FTP-client to gain access to files stored in the iKnowBase CMS.

  • Added support for Groovy scripts as an alternative to FreeMarker. Groovy uses a Java-like syntax, allowing for the reuse of existing Java-code and competence.

  • The new component Script Target is an endpoint (url) where the output is rendered as a complete web page.

  • The new component Script Viewer presents a template on a page. Output is rendered in-line as for any other portlet.

  • Some standard iKnowBase components, ie popups, selectors, calendars, and messages boxes, are re-implemented in Ext JS 4, with some improvements. iKnowBase 6.1 has no longer a dependency to Ext JS 3.

  • The TinyMCE editor is upgraded to version 3.5.2.

  • New attribute types; user, acl and documenttype.

2.15. Release 6.0

  • The Document Archive, delivered as part of the iKnowBase Content Studio, has been rewritten as a rich internet application. The Image Archive component, new in version 5.9, has also been further improved.

  • A new web application "ikbWebdav" enables WebDAV-based access to documents inside iKnowBase. This allows direct file access from operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows), or Office Suites (such as Microsoft Office). Further information can be found in the Development Guide.

  • A new newsletter-component based on the iKnowBase Page Engine has been included. This provides superior formatting over the old component, with all capabilities from the page engine available for use. Please note that this component is not available on the Oracle OC4J application server technology.

  • The embedded web server (part of the Quickstart program) is now supported for production use, with either Microsoft Active Directory or the iKnowBase repository for authentication. When using Microsoft AD, automatic login using Kerberos (SPNEGO, WNA) can be used.

  • Tooltip functions have been converted to use the cluetip library. Cluetip supports in addition to title/description tooltips the use of page content rendered in mouseover functions. Further information can be found in the Development Guide.

  • A document can be referred in HTML as an image or a file link. This is often done when you use a TinyMCE editor to add text to a document. A new database table will now automatic be updated with these references and can easily be extracted in viewers to display relations between documents. The new table is called document_usage and will be populated every time you save a document.

3. Changed functionality

This chapter lists functionality that has changed behavior or has been removed in the specified release, or that will be removed in the future. Read this chapter to see if this version contains changes that influence the functionality provided for and by your solutions.

This chapter does not describe any changes required to your infrastructure or application, in order to maintain current functionality. Such information is described in the next chapter.

3.1. Release 7.3.2

iKnowBase 7.3.2 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. This release does not introduce any major changes in functionality.

3.2. Release 7.3.1

iKnowBase 7.3.1 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. This release does not introduce any major changes in functionality.

3.3. Release 7.3

3.3.1. Desupport of iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic

iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic is no longer supported. Use WebLogic’s own ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator Authentication Provider if you require "container" authentication.

3.3.2. iKnowBase Content Studio not deployed by default

The iKnowBase Content Studio now ships as an external plugin and is no longer deployed by default. This enables the projects to implement custom Content Studio versions.

Note
The document- and image picklists are part of the iKnowBase Content Studio plugin and will no be available unless the plugin is installed.

3.4. Release 7.2

3.4.1. Desupport of Oracle Database 10g

Oracle Database 10g is no longer supported for iKnowBase deployments. Oracle Database 11g is now minimum version.

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search is no longer supported for iKnowBase deployments.

3.5. Release 7.1

iKnowBase 7.1 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. This release does not introduce any major changes in functionality.

3.6. Release 7.0

3.6.1. Desupport of Oracle Portal

iKnowBase no longer ships with portlets for Oracle Portal. The functionality supported by Oracle Portal can generally be implemented better and faster using the iKnowBase Page Engine.

3.6.2. Desupport of iKnowBase Add-in for Microsoft Office

From this release, the iKnowBase Add-in for Microsoft Office is no longer available. Existing customers should migrate to the WebDAV functionality which requires less setup and coding, and provides a better user experience.

Components (ContentViewers and SearchViewers) that use the "edit document" function to generate icons or links that use the add-in are automatically changed to the "edit using webdav" function instead.

3.6.3. Desupport of Fatax Editor

The Fatax Editor is not available from this release onwards. The Fatax- integration was considered experimental, and no production installations will be affected by this.

3.6.4. Desupport of FTP-based access to documents

The WebDAV-server no longer supports FTP-based access to documents. No production installations will be affected by this.

3.6.5. Desupport of iKnowBase Process Services for Oracle BPEL PM

As all customers using Oracle BPEL have now upgraded to the newer Activiti-based business process management, the BPEL-specific components have been removed from the product.

3.6.6. Desupport of GlassFish application server

Deployment on GlassFish application server is no longer supported. GlassFish v3 has been deprecated and is excluded due to new infrastructure requirements for iKnowBase 7.0. Deployment on GlassFish v4 was previously supported, but not recommended due to various issues and support was eventually dropped in iKnowBase 6.6. We currently have no customers using GlassFsh 4 for iKnowBase in production.

Customers on GlassFish v3 must migrate to either iKnowBase Web Server or Oracle WebLogic.

3.6.7. WebDAV browser integration

The WebDAV browser integration has changed from using the SharePoint NPAPI plugin to Microsoft Office URI scheme protocol extensions. The user will no longer need to approve use of a browser plugin. The user is instead prompted for a new application launch approval, which may be remembered, when clicking on WebDAV links.

3.6.8. Uploading HTML-files

Previous versions had a hard time to differ between content written in such editors as TinyMce and HTML-files upload as files. After an upload, the file content was available in editors and not as a file link as expected. HTML-files uploaded from Forms will now be stored as files instead of being converted to html-content. To upload the content from a file to be used from a editor later, either use the service-api to store the file content with the attribute IKB$TEXT or cut and paste the html-file directly into an editor.

All other text files have been converted from CLOB to BLOB and are now stored in document.binary_indexed.

3.6.9. Content Studio now ships as a Java plugin

From iKnowBase 7.0 iKnowBase Content Studio ships as a Java plugin. During upgrade of an existing installation, iKnowBase Content Studio classic pages and targets replaced by new Java-based components will be renamed to /cs/deprecated/ and /ext/cs/deprecated/. A new transport set, which includes the image form and iKnowBase classic components necessary to run forms and statistics, is included in the distribution. When importing this transport set, the image form will be converted to a Java-based form. It can easily be toggled back to iKnowBase classic form for customers who require special configuration.

3.6.10. iKnowBase Process Studio no longer installed by default

iKnowBase Process Studio has been converted to an iKnowBase plugin and is no longer installed by default. See installation documentation.

3.7. Release 6.7

3.7.1. One java web application

iKnowBase ships only two applications:

  • iknowbase-resources, which contains only static resources and may be served by a web server in front of the java application server.

  • iknowbase-webapp, which contains all other modules:

    • Batch (default enabled)

    • Instant

    • Fatax

    • Studio (default enabled)

    • Viewer (default enabled)

    • WebDAV

    • WebServices

The modules can be enabled/disabled, see Installation Guide.

All administration areas (/ikbStudio, /ikbBatch, <each application>/ikb$console) have now been merged to /ikb$console.

3.7.2. RequestModel.getFile() and .getFileMap()

The java-api, also used in groovy-scripts, provides access to uploaded files (technically parts of type "multipart/form-data") through the methods getFile() and getFileMap(). The return value from these methods used to expose certain spring-internals, namely the classes MultiValueMap and MultipartFile. These two methods have been rewritten, and they now use a standard java.util.Map and javax.servlet.http.Part instead.

We are not aware of any external uses of these methods, but if you do use them, a (trivial) rewrite is required.

3.7.3. ProcessServicesWS has been removed

The application ProcessServicesWS has been removed from the distribution. You may use previous versions of this web application if you require this functionality.

3.7.4. Default protection of /ikbStudio and /ikbBatch

With the new single-application deployment model, it is no longer possible to create iKnowBase pages matching /ikbStudio and /ikbBatch. Doing so was never a good form anyway, but is now forbidden.

3.7.5. Security

One application

As all modules are now available in one application, authentication between former applications like ikbStudio and ikbViewer are now one authentication. Of course, if you deploy several versions of the iknowbase-webapp application this means separate authentications.

"Simple authentication" for WebDAV and Instant

WebDAV and Instant is now part of the iknowbase-webapp and will use the following ordered approach for presenting the authentication challenge:

  1. Header (default disabled)

  2. Spnego (default disabled)

  3. Basic (default enabled if non container mode)

  4. Default

The first enabled module wins.

This means that you can have Form based login on all other areas without affecting WebDAV and Instant.

Login form changes

The included login form has been changed. If you have applied custom styling for the included iKnowBase 6.6 login form, you must update the custom styling settings.

Configuration

Form, Spnego and Header login option "realmName" used by XMLHttpRequest and WebDAV has been replaced by "realmName" in Basic configuration.

3.7.6. Plugin development

With the move to a single application for iKnowBase, we have done significant improvements as well as some breaking changes to the iKnowBase Development Toolkit.

You need to create a new plugin development workspace and manually migrate your plugins to the new build structure. See updated plugin development documentation.

Additional access requirements for plugin development:

  • Access to the iKnowBase Artifactory repository

Spring Controller plugins support:

  • Spring component scan on com.iknowbase.plugin removed.

  • Bootstrapping your plugin using spring.factories and @Configuration is required.

  • @Controller annotation should no longer be used. Use @RequestMapping annotation instead to signal that the Spring bean has @RequestMapping methods.

3.7.7. Instant

Javascript onError callback will now be called for all server errors. Previously this required custom error detection as not all server errors would result in onError callback.

3.8. Release 6.6

3.8.1. Require Java 7

iKnowBase now requires Java 7.0 or newer.

Java 7 has been shipping since July 2011, and Java 8 has been shipping since March 2014. Java 6 reached end-of-life in 2013, with the final public update in March that year.

All application servers currently supported by iKnowBase also support running under Java 7. However, Java 7 may require a newer operating system version than Java 6 does; check https://www.java.com/en/download/help/sysreq.xml for details.

3.8.2. GlassFish

Support for GlassFish 3 is now deprecated. From one of the next few releases, iKnowBase will require Oracle WebLogic or iKnowBase Quickstart.

Support for GlassFish 4 has been removed.

GlassFish authentication is no longer supported. Use iKnowBase supplied authentication modules.

3.8.3. Deprecate non-template presentation styles

FreeForm and tabular presentation styles has been around since the beginning of iKnowBase. These style types are a 100% data driven method where you define the layout by defining metadata from where the layout is generated. Later versions introduced FreeMarker as the preferred method.

FreeForm and Tabular will in future releases no longer be supported.

3.8.4. Authentication and authorization

Except for Oracle WebLogic server, the authentication setup has changed, with new default authentication methods and user repositories:

Server Authentication method User repository

iKnowBase Quickstart

Form

iKnowBase

Oracle GlassFish

Form

iKnowBase

Oracle WebLogic

Basic

WebLogic container

Previously, users would not be allowed access to iKnowBase unless they were granted the role IKB_USERS. From this release onwards, this requirement has been removed, and authorization will only rely on ACLs as specified in the application.

3.8.5. Various database changes

The tables LOG_SESSIONS, LOG_DIMENSIONS, MENU_DYN_PREFS and IMAGE_SIZES are no longer in use, and have all been dropped.

The Object types DIMROWS, GENCODEVALUES, DIMPROPS, ATTRIBUTE_TYPE, ATTRIBPROPS, IKBACLTYPE and IKBGENCODES are no longer in use, and have all been dropped.

The old support for NOARK is dropped from the components. No customers are using this functionality.

3.8.6. Removed portlets

The portlets "forgot password", "register user" and "Custom login" made for Oracle Portal long time ago have not been used by any customers, and have all been dropped.

3.8.7. Removed menu renderers

Four menu renderers not in use have been removed:

COL4

menu_dynamic

Vertikal - fire kolonner

YAH2

menu_dynamic

Yahoo - to kolonner

YAH3

menu_dynamic

Yahoo - tre kolonner

YAH4

menu_dynamic

Yahoo - fire kolonner

Banner style set used in Oracle Portal Viewers has been removed

3.8.9. iKnowBase Instant UserList

The one second delay for the UserList message IKB.USERLIST.USERS has been removed and this message will now be delivered immediately after the connection has been established.

3.8.10. ServiceAPI XML-support

Certain test scenarios have uncovered an internal error in the Oracle JDBC-driver stack while operating on XML-data from java or WebServices. There is no fix available, so you will need to test your application for this kind of error.

3.8.11. Removed functions from ActionPortlet

The actions "edit", "delete", "copy to another parent", "move to another parent" and "copy this + subdocs to a new parent" have been removed from the ActionPortlet. They have not been functional for a few versions, but were still available in the user interface.

3.8.12. Process Studio now ships as a Java plugin

From iKnowBase 6.6 iKnowBase Process Studio ships as a Java plugin, rather than iKnowBase components included in a transport set. During upgrade of an existing installation, all pages and targets in the iKnowBase Process Studio subsystem will be renamed to /ps/deprecated/.

3.9. Release 6.5

3.9.1. Activiti Explorer

The Activiti Explorer web application is removed from the iKnowBase distribution. The Activiti Modeler (BPMN web modeler) is part of the Activiti Explorer and will no longer be available. Use the Activiti Eclipse BPMN 2.0 Designer for process modeling.

3.10. Release 6.4.1

This is a critical maintenance release addressing database connection leaks.

3.10.1. Database connection leak in iKnowBase Batch

The PageEngine component in iKnowBase Batch fails to release acquired database connections and will leak one connection per execution.

The issue has been resolved in this release.

3.10.2. Database connection leak in iKnowBase Viewer

iKnowBase Viewer will suffer database connection leaks if an error occurs during database connection initialization.

The issue has been resolved in this release.

3.10.3. Documentation updates

Some documentation errors have been corrected in README.txt and SAMPLE.properties.

3.11. Release 6.4

3.11.1. Solr Configuration

In Solr Configuration you could define if body and description should be stored or not in SOLR. This is removed as options; use instead the SOLR schema.xml to define it on the attribute body and description. It resulted in unnecessary warnings in Solr console.

Abstract is also removed after TIKA was introduced. We cannot apply values to the field if the content should be extracted from the body. In earlier releases it was all done on the database.

3.11.2. Solr attributes

iKnowBase binary file attributes combined with binary content is not supported when indexing. SOLR/Tika supports only one binary file per document object.

3.11.3. Solr access from groovy

The old syntax for referring to a Solr search engine from a groovy script has changed; see the chapter on migration and compatibility for more information.

3.11.4. Oracle WebLogic 11g no longer supported

Oracle WebLogic 11g is no longer supported for running iKnowBase applications due to requirements for servlet 3.0.

3.11.5. Oracle WebLogic 12c supported

iKnowBase is supported on WebLogic 12c 12.1.1-3 application servers.

3.11.6. GlassFish 4 supported

iKnowBase is supported on GlassFish 4 application servers, but not recommended.

GlassFish 4 (build 89) does not correctly operate behind an SSL terminating reverse proxy and iKnowBase will be unable to determine that the request was originally HTTPS. This issue is reported in https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-20842.

GlassFish 4 (build 89) also has problems with session replication in a clustered environment and as a result session failover does not work.

As we strongly recommend all sites to use https for all communication, we do not recommend running a production site on GlassFish 4.

3.11.7. iKnowBase Viewer is deployed to / by default

The iKnowBase Viewer application has traditionally been deployed to /ikbViewer. The application has supported context root /, but this is now set as the default context root.

Customers can still choose to deploy the application as/ikbViewer.

3.11.8. iKnowBase Quickstart configuration

The iKnowBase Quickstart configuration options have been standardized and changed. All previous options are present, but may have a new configuration name. See the provided SAMPLE.properties file.

3.11.9. Only one method in Sendmail will be maintained

Sendmail is used to send emails and have two different methods to build and send the email. The old method combines different functions like sendmail.begin_mail, sendmail.write_text and sendmail.end_mail. These functions will not be maintained, but kept for backward compability. The preferred method is sendmail.mail (with different signatures) and it will be the method that will be maintained in the future. It already have improved functionality like logging and better support for different character sets.

3.12. Release 6.3

Oracle OC4J is no longer supported.

3.13. Release 6.2

There is no known changed and deprecated functionality for this release.

3.14. Release 6.1

Key items for this release

  • The embedded TinyMCE editor has been upgraded to release 3.5.2. Certain layout default has changed in this release of the editor. If you use custom TinyMCE profiles, you may want to verify that these still behave as expected.

  • Ext JS has been migrated from Ext3 to Ext4.

3.15. Release 6.0

These are the key items for this release:

  • All tooltip functions have been converted to use the new tooltip library "ClueTip". We operated with three different tooltip functions in former versions. They will all be converted to display title and description with cluetip from iKnowBase 6.0. The new library is much more flexible and can also use the content of a page as tooltip.

  • The old Document Archive, delivered as a part of the Content Studio application, has been replaced with a new, modern rich web application.

  • The tinyMCE 2.x plug-ins for the iKnowBase image and link pick lists are deprecated. If access to the pick lists are needed, existing tinyMCE 2.x profiles must be upgraded to the latest tinyMCE version.

  • New signature for tooltip functions.

The signature for tooltip functions has changed. In order to achieve maximum performance, the document title will be sent to the custom written function as a parameter. The new API signature is shown below.

FUNCTION <tooltip_function_name>
(
    p_document_id       IN NUMBER,
    p_page_url          IN VARCHAR2,
    p_back_url          IN VARCHAR2,
    p_reference_path    IN VARCHAR2,
    p_language_id       IN VARCHAR2,
    p_version_no        IN NUMBER,
    p_title             IN VARCHAR2
 ) RETURN VARCHAR2;

4. Upgrading from earlier releases

This chapter lists areas where you will need to change your application or infrastructure to support the same functionality as before, or to start using new functionality.

Read this chapter to find out which areas of your solution that may need rework, or where rework will provide better solutions. Start with the chapter describing the iKnowBase release you are upgrading from, and work your way through all the chapters regarding newer releases.

Remember that the installation guide is upgraded for every version. Please read the installation guide before starting your upgrade process.

4.1. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.3.x

Follow standard upgrade procedure described in installation guide when upgrading from and to 7.3.x patch releases.

4.2. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.2.x

4.2.1. WebDAV API - Lock Manager Events

WebDAV Lock Manager Events have been moved from non-API to official iKnowBase API area. If you have consumed these events in iKnowBase Plugins on earlier versions you need to update package locations for these events.

4.2.2. iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic

iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic is no longer supported. Use WebLogic’s own ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator Authentication Provider if you require "container" authentication. See Installation Guide for configuration details.

4.2.3. Deploy and upgrade iKnowBase Content Studio

Consider if your site needs iKnowBase Content Studio. Note that iKnowBase Content Studio includes the document and image picklists which are used for publication. If you don’t need iKnowBase Content Studio, you can skip this step.

iKnowBase Content Studio ships as an external plugin which must be deployed. To deploy iKnowBase Content Studio, follow the instructions in the Installation Guide.

To upgrade iKnowBase Content Studio, please do as follows:

  1. If you plan to continue using the Classic image form (id=81) after upgrade (default is now a Java based image form):

    1. Before import of transport set: Make a copy of the image form (id=81)

    2. After import of transport set: Convert the image form to an iKnowBase classic form (click on the button in the form edit panel in Development Studio) and reapply custom changes

  2. If you have customized the quicklink "CS Publish links" used in Content Studio pages and picklists:

    1. Before import of transport set: Backup the quicklink "CS Publish links"

    2. After import of transport set: Reapply any custom changes to the quicklink "CS Publish links".

  3. Import transport set

    1. Upload the file "etc/EXP-IKB_MASTER_<release>-B46F6A1ED4ABECCFE040000A180057BE-iKnowBase_Data.dmp" (ikb$console → Development → Advanced → Import → Upload a new file).

    2. Make no changes to the settings and run a pre-check.

    3. Verify the result, and if ok, go back to the edit tab and continue with the "Merge to iKnowBase" action.

4.2.4. iKnowBase Plugin Development changes

war plugins are no longer supported and all plugins must now use the regular jar setup. The jar projects have been enhanced with

  • support for copying your additional libraries to build output directory

  • support for generating a distribution zip file with your plugin code as .jar as well ass all additional dependencies.

As always, merge the contents from the updated plugin starter project with your plugin project.

See Development Guide > iKnowBase Development Toolkit for details.

4.3. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.1.x

4.3.1. iKnowBase application configuration

The iKnowBase application is now based on Spring Boot. This change brings MAJOR changes and enhancements to configuration of the embedded iKnowBase Web Server.

Your existing configuration contained in the properties file (e.g. production.properties or iknowbase.properties) MUST be migrated to the new configuration format.

  1. Copy the provided <distribution>/etc/application.properties.SAMPLE as application.properties. Please note that application.properties is by default the required name of this file.

  2. Migrate your settings from the old format to the new format.

While the new configuration format should be quite self-explanatory, you should note that:

  • The System. prefix was previously used to set a System property, which was used to configure the iKnowBase application. This prefix is no longer in use and you may migrate your settings from System.foo.bar.baz to just foo.bar.baz.

  • Embedded (Jetty) web server: While Spring Boot covers most settings under server.*, iKnowBase provides extra options under com.iknowbase.server.\*.

  • The static resources application iknowbase-resources is now part of the main application available at /ressurs.

  • Custom static resources directories must now be specified using com.iknowbase.server.resource.custom.handlers[<index>].

Advanced: The configuration options that are available and how they can be set are now based on Spring Boot. Please see boot-features-external-config and common-application-properties for for more details.

4.3.2. iKnowBase application commands

With the move to Spring Boot, we no longer support specifying the properties file as the first parameter to iknowbase.sh/IKNOWBASE.BAT. The property file application.properties is the default and recommended name.

Example:

  • OLD: ./iknowbase.sh production.properties upgradeAll

  • NEW: ./iknowbase.sh upgradeAll

4.3.3. iKnowBase application logging

iKnowBase will now by default rotate logfiles on a daily basis. The application logs will log to iknowbase.log and change to iknowbase.YYYY_MM_DD.log after log rotation.

You may still provide your own log4j configuration file or even run without any (just standard out logging).

iKnowBase Web Server only:

The access logs will log directly to to iknowbase.request.YYYY_MM_DD.log. Access logging will now log using NCSA format and supports various configurable options.

4.3.4. Static resources: Location and configuration

The static resources application iknowbase-resources is now part of the main application available at /ressurs.

See application.properties.SAMPLE for configuration options for the embedded resources as well as any custom resource areas you want to serve using the iKnowBase application.

Note for custom context root deployments only

The resource path is now relative to the context root for the main application. If you deploy to a custom context root, like '/example', the static resource area will follow to '/example/ressurs' etc.

You must also ensure that the infrastructure (reverse proxy) maps the default paths to the context root paths.

  • '/ressurs' to '/example/ressurs'

  • '/plugin-resources' to '/example/plugin-resources'

4.3.5. Static resources: Cache headers

iKnowBase will now send cache headers for static resources (default areas: /ressurs and /plugin-resources).

Review any existing settings for caching of static resources. If you’ve already configured an intermediate server such as Apache httpd with cache headers, consider removing these settings and adjust the iKnowBase configuration instead.

See Development Guide > Performance and application.properties.SAMPLE for more details.

4.3.6. Static resources: Versioned resource resolution

iKnowBase supports versioned address based on content for static resources. These resources will by default be served with long cache max-age for browser and any intermediate cache capable servers since any change to these resources will generate a new address for the changed resources.

To take full advantage of this new capability, you’ll need to update your presentationt templates. See Development Guide > Performance and application.properties.SAMPLE for details.

4.3.7. Static resources: In-memory caching

All static resources, such as the embedded resources available at /ressurs and /plugin-resources, are cached in-memory (non replicated) in the iKnowBase application for performance reasons.

This means that any change to these resources, or any other custom resource locations you define, require that you clear the cache (name prefix "serverResourceCache") either by using ikb$console or by restarting the application.

If you prefer to be able to change the custom resources without clearing the cache you may

  • set the custom handler group’s defaultCacheResourceResolutionEnabled to false to change the group’s default setting, or

  • set the specific resource handler’s cacheResourceResolution to false and disable the in-memory cache for that particular handler.

Please note that disabling in-memory cache reduces performance to about 1/3 compared to in-memory cached resources (still quite fast, but not THAT fast).

See application.properties.SAMPLE for details.

4.3.8. Compression

Compression og text content is highly recommended to reduce bandwidth usage and transfer time from server to client.

The iKnowBase WebServer will by default compress all text content (html, text, css, js, xml) if the client signals that it supports compression using @Accept-Encoding@ header. All modern browsers will send this header by default.

If you’ve already configured compression in an intermediate server, such as Apache httpd, you may consider disabling the compression support in Apache (or at least one of them) to keep the infrastructure configuration and functionality clean.

See application.properties.SAMPLE for configuration options.

4.3.9. HTTP Sessions

Default session handling is now using database persisted sessions and the sessions are fully managed by the application (not the application server).

The change also means that session cleanup due to session inactivity (timeout) is a global cleanup. If you have more than one iKnowBase application running against the same database repository, the timeout should be set to the same value for all. If you require separate session timeout settings for different sites, discuss the requirement, configuration possibilities and consequences with the iKnowBase Product Development team.

While the new database persisted sessions is the recommended approach, it is still possible to use in-memory or the server’s native in memory session handling, see installation guide and application.properties.SAMPLE for details.

HTTP Session Attributes

The new default handling of data stored as session attribute requires that if you modify an existing session attribute, you must call session.setAttribute(key, value) to persist the updated object. Review all code calling session.getAttribute or getSessionAttribute and make sure modifications are persisted. setAttribute on session will mark the attribute as changed.

Background: Session attribute handling in earlier versions of iKnowBase had the same requirement to be able to replicate session attributes (replication was available for WebLogic and GlassFish), but you would be able to modify objects without an explicit setAttribute, however the attribute would not have been replicated. iKnowBase Web Server did not support session replication earlier, but you would be able to store a modified attribute without explicit calling setAttribute.

4.3.10. Content Transformation Service

The new Content Transformation service leverages preexisting support from existing Image Editor, File Converter, Oracle Multimedia and Oracle Text.

Image Editor, Oracle Multimedia and Oracle Text are by default enabled without any configuration requirements.

FileConverter

FileConverter was previously only executed by the Batch Server, but can now be triggered via both Content Server (Viewer) and Transformation Server (Batch).

If you’ve previously installed FileConverter and you want to use FileConverter via Content Server (HTTP to /Content or /private/content) you must make sure that FileConverter is installed on all servers running the Content Server or the service will not be available.

If you only use FileConverter through the PLSQL API you don’t need to change anything.

With the exception of com.iknowbase.batch.fileConverter.outsideInDirectory, all com.iknowbase.batch.fileConverter configuration options have been removed. File Converter for Batch is now handled by the Transformation Server, which has similar AQ configuration options.

PLSQL API batch_fileconvert_client is still available for backwards compatibility. It uses the new PLSQL API ikb_transformation_service. You should consider changing to the new PLSQL API in custom code.

ImageEditor

All com.iknowbase.batch.imageEditor configuration options have been removed. File Converter for Batch is now handled by the Transformation Server, which has similar AQ configuration options.

PLSQL API batch_fileconvert_client is still available for backwards compatibility. It uses the new PLSQL API ikb_transformation_service. You should consider changing to the new PLSQL API in custom code.

4.3.11. Content Transformation Usage

By introducing the new content transformation service from iKnowBase 7.2, image variants will no longer be populated as attributes when an image is stored. Instead, image variants will be transformed on-the-fly and cached for later use. The upgrade script will automatically convert instances of /attr=<attribute value guid> to /transformation=<transformation type>. This applies to stored HTML-content (in DOCUMENT and DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE LOB-columns). The presentation style will also be migrated to use transformation instead of Image variant and the special functions View as PDF/HTML/TEXT.

Still, there might be traces of /attr= in on-site code that need to be fixed.

  • Check your custom PL/SQL for instances of /attr=. Check the page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/upgrade. The code is normally a select against document_attribute where the variant was stored.

  • Check your client code by searching ikb$console for instances of /attr=

  • Be aware that transformation functions in a presentation style always will create a transformation. If the variant was non-existing in prior releases, the original images was displayed.

In PL/SQL code, skip the join against document_attribute and use a transformation-clause instead. e.g. select '/Content/' || da.document_id || '/attr='|| da.object_guid || '/' || d.filename url from document d, document_attribute da …​. can be replaced with select '/Content/' || d.document_id || '/transformation='|| <name of the transformation> || '/' || d.filename url from document d…​.

4.3.12. LOBS stored as SECUREFILE

SecureFiles was first introduced in Oracle Database 11g. Write performance using SecureFiles is enhanced by a new cache that buffers writes before writing to disk. Advanced features such as compression and deduplication reduce disk I/Os further at the cost of a slight CPU overhead. Intelligent pre-fetching especially during streaming reads offer better performance during reads. SecureFiles uses an advanced space management routine that is optimized for large, contiguous I/Os. In addition, there are several innovations with the wire protocol, locking algorithms etc. that make SecureFiles far more scalable than LOBs or file systems. iKnowBase 7.2 is the first release with SECUREFILE as its default LOB storage mechanism.

  • All LOB objects in a new installation will always use SECUREFILE.

  • Custom LOB objects created on-site should be created with a SECUREFILE instruction. It can either be done by a database initializion parameter (ALTER SYSTEM SET db_securefile = 'ALWAYS') or in the create-statement (create table …​ (lob_col BLOB) LOB (ERR_MSG) STORE AS SECUREFILE).

  • Upgrade from prior releases require some manual steps to move DOCUMENT LOB data from BASICFILE to SECUREFILE.

    • Make sure you have sufficient disk space (as least as the total size of the tables DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE, VERSIONED_DOCUMENT and VERSIONED_DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE).

      • Check the page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/upgrade. It can report disk usage for these tables.

    • Make sure to back up the tables DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE, VERSIONED_DOCUMENT and VERSIONED_DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE.

    • If running Oracle Enterprise Edition, do the following operations:

      • Grant permissions: ./iknowbase.sh dbscriptAsSys common/securefile_grant.sql <logfile>

      • Create interim tables: ./iknowbase.sh dbscript common/securefile_tables.sql

      • Move from BASICFILE to SECUREFILE: ./iknowbase.sh dbscript common/securefile_ee.sql

      • Verify the error log before you continue. Either check the ikb$console page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/sql_script or run the query select instance, timestamp, to_char(err_msg) from ikb_error_tab where instance like 'redef_securefile_%' order by error_id. If all columns are already converted to securefile, there is no need to recreate the Oracle Text index.

      • Create the Oracle Text index: Log off the session, log on again with iKnowBase schema owner and execute begin ikb_adm_ctx.create_index; ikb_adm_ctx.start_indexing; end;.

      • Revoke the permissions : ./iknowbase.sh dbscriptAsSys common/securefile_revoke.sql <logfile>

    • If running Oracle Standard Edition, do the following operations:

      • Move from BASICFILE to SECUREFILE: ./iknowbase.sh dbscript common/securefile_se.sql

      • Verify the error log before you continue. Either check the ikb$console page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/sql_script or run the query select instance, timestamp, to_char(err_msg) from ikb_error_tab where instance like 'redef_securefile_%' order by error_id. If all columns already is converted to securefile, there is no need to recreate the Oracle Text index.

      • Create the Oracle Text index: Log off the session, log on again with iKnowBase schema owner and execute begin ikb_adm_ctx.create_index; ikb_adm_ctx.start_indexing; end;.

4.3.13. Removed end point

The unofficial endpoint /cs/<externalkey>/valuelist.json is no longer supported. Verify that this end point is not in use on your site by performing a search in Development Studio.

4.3.14. Development Toolkit for Java

The iKnowBase Development Toolkit for Java has been simplified and you may now choose between:

  • sample-starter-singleproject

  • sample-starter-multiproject

The single project setup is recommended if you want to share this plugin with other projects/teams/customers.

The multi project setup is recommended if you develop a set of plugins for a specific customer and you don’t intend to share these plugins.

Developers are strongly encouraged to re-read the updated iKnowBase Development Toolkit section in the Development Guide.

Upgrade steps:

  1. Update your gradle files to match the setup used in one the sample-starter projects.

    • gradle.properties (artifactory*-variables are no longer used and may be removed).

    • gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

    • build.gradle (Greatly simplified through use of new iKnowBase Gradle script plugins).

  2. Re-import / refresh your gradle project in IntelliJ.

  3. Update all src/main/resources/META-INF/spring.factories files.

    • OLD: com.iknowbase.api.server.SpringModule=Your.Spring.Module.

    • NEW: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=Your.Spring.Module.

  4. Update application configuration (filename and contents).

    • OLD: iknowbase.properties

    • NEW: application.properties (Copy application.properties.template from sample-starter-*)

  5. Update run configuration in IntelliJ.

    • OLD: com.iknowbase.jetty.util.QuickstartFactory ("Application" run configuration type)

    • NEW: com.iknowbase.BootEmbeddedApplication ("Spring Boot" run configuration type)

    • Profile: Use profile dev for local development. This will disable various optimizations that will reduce the need for restarts. With Spring Boot plugin to IntelliJ use the Active Profiles section. With standard Java application, use JVM property -Dspring.profiles.active=dev.

  6. Optional: Migrate and simplify your Spring managed beans from manual @Bean instantiation to @ComponentScan. See samples.

    • Review/Update: ALL controller methods that return a response that should be interpreted as http response body (String, JSON, ..) MUST declare this using @ResponseBody on the controller method. This is and has been the recommended way, but iKnowBase 7.1 and earlier would resolve this as JSON without @ResponseBody. From iKnowBase 7.2 you will get an error stating that the page(or view) could not be found.

Note that all "ikb*"-gradle tasks have been removed from the new setup as they are no longer required.

4.3.15. Updated minimum version of Oracle WebLogic

The minimum version of Oracle WebLogic is updated, see the chapter "Supported application servers".

4.3.16. Instant on Oracle WebLogic logs warnings (unresolved issue IKB-3343)

iKnowBase Instant will trigger warnings ´WELD-000714´ from org.jboss.weld.Servlet and WELD-000225 from org.jboss.weld.Context when the client closes the Instant connection, either explicitly by unsubscribing or when the web browser navigates away from a page with an active Instant connection.

iKnowBase Instant works despite these warnings and until the issue is resolved you should consider setting log level for these packages to ERROR to avoid spamming the logs.

4.4. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.1.0

4.4.1. WebDAV

7.1.1 changes the WebDAV lock infrastructure from an in-memory to a database persisted solution. Default lock timeout is set to 1 hour (default Microsoft Office lock timeout) and the timeout is now also configurable (WebDAV configuration).

This change is done automatically and no additional upgrade steps are required if the default suits your needs.

With the lock infrastructure persisted to database, the WebDAV module may now be clustered.

4.5. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.7

4.5.1. Infrastructure requirements

From this release, iKnowBase requires Java 8u40 or newer to run. The embedded web server automatically supports this, but if you use WebLogic you will also need to upgrade to the currently supported version newer. GlassFish v3 does not support Java 8, so GlassFish v3 is no longer supported. The embedded web server supports all known workloads currently being served by iKnowBase on GlassFish v3.

iKnowBase web server

The iKnowBase web server is now based on a Jetty version, which uses updated HTTP specifications.

This upgrade removes support for HTTP/0.9. While this update should not affect end user clients, it might affect systems requesting information from iKnowBase over HTTP. The systems need to adjust to follow updated HTTP specs.

4.5.2. New name for the wrapper scripts

Previously, the iKnowBase setup program and quickstart web server was started using the QUICKSTART.BAT or quickstart.sh scripts. This has been renamed to IKNOWBASE.BAT or iknowbase.sh. All scripts that reference the old script will have to be modified.

4.5.3. Security configuration changes

The LDAP authentication configuration option 'userDnPattern' has been changed to 'userSearchBase'. Update your configuration accordingly.

Example:

Old option Old value New option New value

userDnPattern.1

CN={0},CN=Users

userSearchBase.1

CN=Users

userDnPattern.2

CN={0},CN=Premium Users

userSearchBase.2

CN=Premium Users

The LDAP search will, like before, search for users in the specified tree(s) and below.

4.5.4. Desupport of iKnowBase Add-in for Microsoft Office

During upgrade, any usage of the presentation style function "edit document" is changed to an "edit using webdav" function instead. A component that already had both functions will now have two copies of the webdav-function; you should then manually remove the extra function after upgrading.

4.5.5. Merge Solr search engine configurations

Previous versions allowed you to set up two different URLs for each search source, one for indexing and one for searching documents. This was almost never used, and all known installations use the same URL twice. It is now only possible to specify a single URL for both indexing and searching. If you need different configurations, create a separate search engine configuration for each.

4.5.6. Service API for Java

In the java-version of the Service API (the interface DocumentService), several methods have received new overloaded versions. If you ever called any of these functions with a literal null parameter, you will have to add a cast to your code:

  • setDocumentIdentity

  • setParentDocumentReference

  • setDocumentTypeReference

  • setAclReference

  • setStatusReference

// documentService.setAclReference (null);
documentService.setAclReference((ObjectReference)null);
// or
ObjectReference aclReference = null;
documentService.setAclReference(aclReference);

4.5.7. FreeMarker API

The formatted html value of a field, ie text and html properties, is escaped using Apache Commons, which escapes according to the HTML4 specification. In earlier versions of iKnowBase, a custom function which didn’t escape norwegian characters was used.

4.5.8. HTML portlet #PARAM substitutions are now limited to strict validation

#PARAM substitutions in HTML portlets are now limited to strict validation due to security issue IKB-3068. Numbers, date strings and simple system strings (typical used as external key) are allowed. All other input values will result in logged (WARN) validation error "Unable to substitute #PARAM-tags..".

If you rely on any other types of input to #PARAM tags, you need to rewrite this functionality.

4.5.9. Upgraded Solr client libraries

The embedded Solrj client libraries have been upgraded. With the version, there have been some API changes. The most relevant changes are listed below, but for full details you will need to check the Solr documentation.

  • SolrQuery deprecated methods have been removed:

    • setSortField(String, ORDER) should use setSort(…​)

    • addSortField(String, ORDER) should use addSort(…​)

    • removeSortField(String, ORDER) should use removeSort(…​)

    • getSortFields() should use getSorts()

4.5.10. iKnowBase Content Studio configuration

The iKnowBase Content Studio plugin requires a set of metadata with the external keys as given in the table below. Your site can be configured to use custom external keys, see iKnowBase Installation Guide > Content Studio Plugin. Ensure that your site is either set up with the default external keys or that you have added the necessary configuration.

4.5.11. iKnowBase Process Studio

iKnowBase Process Studio has been converted to an external iKnowBase plugin and is no longer installed by default. The plugin is provided alongside the iKnowBase distribution files. For installation details, see iKnowBase Documentation > Installation Guide > Java Applications > Installing plugins and patches.

4.5.12. Oracle JDBC driver (bug #19857183)

Due to a bug in the Oracle JDBC driver (bug #19857183), certain XML operations are only available when using the Oracle 12c database.

iKnowBase issue reference: IKB-2878

4.5.13. Repository changes and custom code

iKnowBase 7.0 has introduced a few changes that might have an impact on custom PL/SQL code.

Description Solution

IKB_PORTLET_PREFS.REFERENCE_PATH is replaced by ID

Queries against IKB_PORTLET_PREFS with reference_path in the statement has to use ID instead. e.g. "where reference_path = ", use "where id = "

DOCUMENT.CONTENT_TYPE doesn’t exists anymore

CONTENT_TYPE was used to identify if the content was text or binary. Use the column DOCUMENT.STORAGE_TYPE instead. The possible values are FILE, TEXT, URL, XML or NONE.

IKB_PCK_DOCUMENT.GET_FORMAT (p_filename) doesn’t exist anymore

The function returned ikb_format.content_type based on the extension. Use the column DOCUMENT.STORAGE_TYPE instead.

Deprecated Object types (IKBACLTYPE, IKBGENCODES + GENCODEVALUES)

The object types still exists, but we recommend to use OT_ACL/CT_ACLS, OT_VALUELIST/CT_VALUELISTS and OT_VALUELIST_VALUE/CT_VALUELIST_VALUES

IKB_SERVICE_API.SAVE_DOCUMENT.P_CONTENT_OPERATION

By default, P_CONTENT_OPERATION is set to MERGE if you don’t explicit set it. If you then update a document without any content (e.g. ot_document.binary_content/text_content/url/xml_data is null), it will clear the content fields. You have to set P_CONTENT_OPERATION to IKB_SERVICE_API.SAVE_OPERATION_NONE to avoid a clearing of the content data. To identify all places where the function is used, please run a query like this : Select * from all_source where upper(text) like '%IKB_SERVICE_API.SAVE_DOCUMENT%'.

New signatures for some functions in OID_SYNC

The functions Get_group_memberships, Get_group_membership and Getattributevalue now use an object type to tranfer sync profile data. oid_sync.ldap_instance_rec has been introduced and if you need to create an instance of it, use oid_sync.initialize (p_sync_id IN NUMBER, p_external_key IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL) RETURN oid_sync.ldap_instance_rec;

4.6. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.6

4.6.1. Application to modules

All web applications have been merged to one web application.

Review your current deployments and deploy the application with the required modules enabled. By default, the modules Batch, Studio and Viewer are enabled.

See installation guide for updated instructions and configuration.

4.6.2. WebServices

The application iknowbase-webservices-webapp has been removed, and the WebServices functionality has been incorporated into the single iknowbase-webapp. This means that there is (by default) no deployment at the endpoint /ikbWebServices anymore, and references to /ikbWebServices/ws will thus not work.

The web services endpoint root is from this release available as an installation property. The default value is /ws. You should change this to /ikbWebServices/ws for existing sites which already use the iKnowBase web services.

Note! On WebLogic Server the web services endpoint root must be changed to something different than /ws, e.g. /ikbWebServices/ws, as the /ws endpoint in iKnowBase is currently reserved for web socket communication when deployed on WebLogic.

4.6.3. Plugin Development

You need to create a new plugin development workspace and manually migrate your plugins to the new build structure. See updated plugin development documentation.

Update all Spring Controller plugins must

  • Replace @Controller with @RequestMapping annotation.

  • Add new @Configuration class as the Spring beans factory that will create your Controller.

  • Add new spring.factories file that points to the @Configuration class.

4.6.4. Instant

Javascript onError callback will now be called for all server errors. Previously this required custom error detection as not all server errors would result in onError callback.

If you require the old reconnect behavior, set atmosphere option reconnectOnServerError to true.

4.7. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.5

4.7.1. Migrate FreeForm and tabular presentation styles

This release offer a tool to convert from free form/tabular styles to freemarker templates. You can do it either one by one, or as a bulk operation to convert all styles. You do also have the option to rollback. The functions are available from iKnowBase Studio → Development tools → Presentation styles.

4.7.2. Authentication

Customers using iKnowBase Quickstart (now known as iKnowBase Web Server) need to review all authentication configuration, since all iKnowBase Web Server specific modules has been replaced by new authentication modules.

Customers using Oracle WebLogic may use the default container mode for username and password authentication. They may also change from container mode to the new set of authentication modules. Use of some of WebLogic authentication modules like SPNEGO and SAML2 require special deployment descriptor and role protection not included in the standard web archive to function properly. Contact support for assistance if you require use of these WebLogic authentication modules. Note that iKnowBase’s set of authentication modules includes both SPNEGO and SAML2.

4.7.3. Authorization

The roles IKB_USERS, IKB_DEVELOPERS and IKB_SYSADMINS are no longer in use. Groups that exist only to provide these roles may be removed.

Users that need developer / system administrator access must have the admin flag set in the iKnowBase User Repository. User synchronization may need to be adjusted if administrator access is controlled from an external repository.

4.7.4. Logout

If in use, change the logout target from /ikb$logout to /ikb$auth/logout and the redirect URL from path parameter to the new url parameter "redirect".

4.8. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.4

4.8.1. New signature for Custom Save procedures

Custom Save-procedures are used when the default behavior during a save process from a form needs customizations. Normally the starting point is the standard procedure ikb_ce_custom_editor_portlet.save_document when a new custom save procedure is created. The standard procedure signature has been expanded during the years and to enable new functionality in custom save procedures you need to change the signature and also some of the logic within the procedure. To identify mismatches between the standard procedure and a custom procedure, use the report "Custom Save (Form) compability" under ikbStudio→Database Admin→Reports. For backward compability it will work AS IS, but new functionality will not be enabled. The list describes the arguments and what functionality it enables:

Argument name Description

p_description

Replaces p_description_array (used by the LEAD-attribute in iKnowBase). From iKnowBase 6.5, large text areas can be posted as CLOBS. Enables support of arbitrary text-editors in Forms.

p_text_indexes

Replaces p_text_array (used by the CONTENT-attribute in iKnowBase). From iKnowBase 6.5, large text areas can be posted as CLOBS. Enables support of arbitrary text-editors in Forms.

p_attribute_clobs

Replaces p_long_text_arrays (used by the CLOB-attributes in iKnowBase). From iKnowBase 6.5, large text areas can be posted as CLOBS. Enables support of arbitrary text-editors in Forms.

p_session_id

Used to check if the session has changed since the form was loaded.

p_last_timestamp

Used to check if a document has been changed since the form was loaded.

Make sure to add the arguments to the call of the stored procedure ikb_ce_custom_editor_portlet.func_save_document too, e.g:

l_document_id := func_save_document (
    ...,
    p_description     => p_description,
    p_text_indexed    => p_text_indexed,
    p_attribute_clobs => p_attribute_clobs,
    p_last_timestamp  => p_last_timestamp,
    p_session_id      => p_session_id);

4.8.2. iKnowBase Quickstart sessions cookies

To avoid session collisions between iKnowBase Webapp deployed to / and any other applications also using sessions, the sessionid is given a unique name per web application.

  • Old: JSESSIONID

  • New. IKBSESSION using default session handling

    • JSESSIONID using native WebLogic sessions (not default)

    • IKBSESSIONSERVER using native iKnowBase Web Server sessions (not default)

4.8.3. iKnowBase Instant

Reconnect on close

In case the server is unavailable, sends an error or there is a network outage for the client, the iKnowBase Instant JS API will no longer reconnect forever to prevent browser locking and unnecessary server load. Five (5) attempts are made to reconnect before the connection is aborted with onError callback. The atmosphere option maxReconnectOnClose controls this behavior.

onOpen-callback

When using the default long-polling transport, the onOpen callback will now be triggered properly without the client needing to publish a message.

As described in the previous section, the onError callback will be triggered after 5 reconnect attempts (and onReconnect callbacks) are made.

JOIN-message

Javascript clients will no longer receive JOIN message for their own join. The user is still present in the USERS message sent after joining if the client subscribes to these messages.

Message format

The message format IKB used by the asynchronous javascript clients carried a data payload encoded as JSON string. This extra encoding has now been removed and clients need only parse the whole response message body.

In the onMessage callback, keep the JSON parsing of the response.responseBody to IKBResponseMessage object, but remove the extra JSON-parsing for IKBResponseMessage.data.

Configuration

The iKnowBase Instant installation properties configuration has been adjusted. Review the renamed configuration changes and update installation_properties accordingly.

Removed:

  • com.iknowbase.instant.suspendTimeoutLP: Default heartbeat functionality has been added.

Renamed:

  • disconnectCleanupInactivityThreshold:

  • cleanupDisconnectedConnectionsThreshold

disconnectCleanupInterval: cleanupTopicThreshold

Added:

  • broadcastDelayUserListUsers

  • broadcastDelayUserListJoin

  • broadcastDelayServerRequest

4.9. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.3

4.9.1. Solr

Due to the improved Solr support, the syntax for referring to a solr search client from a groovy script has now changed:

// Old vs new
 // def client = iknowbase.beans.searchClient
 // def client = searchClients.<name>; e.g. for the intranetsearch
engine: def client = searchClients.intranet

The old syntax is typically used only a few places, and can easily be found using the search function in the Development Studio.

4.9.2. iKnowBase Application is deployed to / by default

The iKnowBase application has traditionally been deployed to /ikbViewer. The application has supported context root /, but this is now set as the default context root. See Installation Guide > iKnowBase Web Server

4.10. Upgrade from iKnowBase 5.8 or lower

  • Opera, version 10 and above.

  • Chrome, version 8 and above

  • Safari, version 4 and above.

    • Internet Explorer

    • Edge

    • Firefox

    • Chrome
