1.24.2384
Release date: 2019-11-25
Always backup the Zervicepoint database before upgrading! If you experience an installation failure you must restore the database before continuing.
Multi-tenant upgrade
This release contains no changes in Provisioning System or Client Web Service.
ZervicePoint PowerShell Management upgrade
This release contains major changes related th the new Key authentication method in the PowerShell Management module.
Breaking change
The parameter UniqueId has been removed from the New-ZPStore cmdlet. This parameter was previously mandatory.
If you have scripts using this cmdlet they need to be updated by removing the parameter UniqueId.
Install.cmd file no longer required
This release includes a completely new installer. This means that you no longer need to use the old Install.cmd file. The installer is however compatible with install.cmd should you wish to continue using it. If so, always use the file included in the latest release.
New features
Field-setting icons in Admin web
Settings on fields in the Form Editor in Admin web are now shown in an easier manner. By showing these icons the user gets a better overview of the different field settings without having to open the edit modal.
The different settings that are shown are: If it is bound to a variable and to which variable (hover over icon to see this); Required; Readonly; Hidden and if it is bound to a datasource and to which datasource it is bound to (hover over icon to see this).
Ability to add a comment when publishing a service
When publishing a service or process you now have the option to write a comment about what has been changed.
The comments can be viewed in the service version history.
Sort by column in table page
It is now possible to sort table pages by columns in a ascending or descending order. To access this feature, click the column you wish to sort by. To change the sort order simply click the same column again.
RTF Block in shared processes
When creating a shared process you now have the option to include RTF block in setup form.
Line break on fields
It is now possible to toggle line breaks on fields in our form editor.
For those who are acquainted with the use of textblock's to achieve line/row breaks can expect it to behave similarly.
NOTE: When using line break property on fields within a form section we recommend that the form section is full width. Otherwise it may trigger unwanted behaviour.
To toggle on this feature, go to the form editor and click edit on selected field scroll down until you find the line break checkbox and click it.
You're also able to quickly toggle the line break feature from the quick access dropdown menu. Simply click the downward facing arrow beside the edit button and click the "Toggle line break" field.
ProvisioningSystem authentication with Key instead of ADFS
We no longer need ADFS for ProvisioningSystem! Instead you can generate a key for your ProvisioningSystem:
Further, we did some clean-up of the Store view in the AdminWeb. The OnPremises Settings is now removed and split between other tabs.
See this guide on how to configure it: Setup ProvisioningSystem to authenticate with Key
Powershell API authentication with Key instead of ADFS
It is no longer required to have an ADFS server in your environment to use the Zervicepoint Powershell Management API! Instead generate a key for each API user.
Together with other features such as Azure login and key authentication for ProvisioningSystem it is now possible to run Zervicepoint completely without ADFS.
See this guide on how to configure it: Setup and work with API keys
Changes in the Zervicepoint Installer
The Zervicepoint Installer has been updated to handle settings for the new Key authentication method for ProvisioningSystem and Powershell API. Please see the 2. Installing Zervicepoint article for a detailed description of the Zervicepoint Installer.
