The Activity Execution Monitor no longer causes threads for checking embedded subprocesses. This
will reduce thread pool log messages significantly.
Affected: ExecutionManager (Server)

2020-05-29 (BPM-3447)
The user synchronisation from FILERO now maps FILERO groups to roles and FILERO users to agent/org
position tuples. It also handles users appropriately who are have been deleted in FILERO.
The UID uses the immutable ID from FILERO instead of the name (which can change).
Affected: OM synchronisation from FILERO (OMM, Server)

2020-05-28 (BPM-3442)
The OrgModelException was not handled properly when synchronising the org model with FILERO (and
LDAP). All occurences now at least log it appropriately allowing the synchronisation to continue.
Although there might be consecutive problems in case an OrgModelException has occurred.
Affected: Org Model Synchronisation (Server)

2020-05-13 (BPM-Dev)
Data elements are no longer ignored in templates converted from ILM.
Affected: ILM/REST (Server, PIR)

The path of a servlet now correctly starts with "/" in URLs ending with "*".
Affected: Servlet Service (Server, PIR and Automatic Client)

2020-04-23 (BPM-3421)
The escalation dialogue no longer throws a NPE in case no valid time option has been selected.
Affected: Escalation Dialogue (Process Template Editor)

2020-04-23 (BPM-3432)
The SQL-based process repository uses one transaction for storing process templates (including
embedded templates) and creating process types. This prevents invalid data in case of severe
problems when storing data, e. g. abrupt termination of the JVM.
Affected: Process Repository

2020-04-22 (BPM-3293)
When synchronising the OM with LDAP, auto-generated org positions will get re-enabled together with
the corresponding agent gets re-enabled.
Affected: LDAP Synchronisation (OMM, Server)

2020-04-22 (BPM-3434)
The source code of classes from third party libraries which have been patched or used in an adapted
variant (conforming to the corresponding licence) are now easier to find:
They reside within the corresponding patched library or the main library (aristaflow*.jar or
ADEPT2-Plugin).
Affected: Deployed Libraries

2020-04-22 (BPM-3440)
Null values for optional questions are now handled correctly in the SurveyJS activity. Also no
output is accepted as valid result in case there is no mandatory output.
Affected: SurveyJS activity (Clients)

2020-04-21 (BPM-2611)
ClusterNodeInformation has the time it has been retrieved. This stems from the database and allows
for simpler tracking since the database time may differ from the time of the server JVM.
Affected: Cluster

2020-04-21 (BPM-3372)
The default log in the cluster is restricted to the relevant bootstrap classes.
Affected: Cluster

2020-04-21 (BPM-3439)

---------------------------------------------- 4.0.0 -----------------------------------------------
2020-04-09 (BPM-3424)
The JSON representation of AfEbpReference has become compatible with the JSON representation of
EbpInstanceReference. This allows to use the JSON representation of AfEbpReference everywhere where
an EbpInstanceReference is expected. Generated stub classes still need a manual conversion.
Affected: REST-API of WorklistManager

2020-04-09 (BPM-2551)
The wizard pages for the scripting activity now dynamically loads all libraries found in the
lib/de.aristaflow.tools.Scripting/ directory and uses them for compile checks and test execution.
Affected: Process Template Editor, Monitor

2020-04-08 (BPM-3423)
Netty had problems closing channels leading to a blocked thread. It uses a timeout now.
API-Changes:
* An additional long parameter for a timeout has been added to the following methods and
  constructors:
  * AbstractNettyPeer()
  * AbstractNettyPeer.closeChannel()
  * AbstractNettyClient()
  * NettyOneConnServer()
  * NettyServer()
  * ServerLogic()
  * AbstractHandler()
  * ClientHandler()
  * OneConnClientHandler()
  * OneConnServerHandler()
  * ServerHandler()
Affected: Netty-Communication (all products)

Affected: Automatic Client, Client, TestClient, Integrated Server

2020-04-08 (BPM-3415)
The cache for global to local service URIs in the service registry now finds entries properly
instead of re-retrieving them. This improves performance when requesting services.
Affected: All

2020-04-08 (BPM-3415)
A new annotation allows to cache a return value from a remote service temporarily. The configured
default value (ConfigurationManager.confVar.ProxyLazyMethodValidTime,
AbstractNettyCommunicationService.ProxyLazyMethodValidTime and
ServiceRegistry.GlobalStubProxyLazyMethodValidTime) is 5 seconds and applies to
ADEPT2Service.ping(). This means, the value will not be updated for 5 seconds after retrieval.
API-Changes:
* ConfigurationDescriptionTools.validateConfigurationDescription() has an additional parameter
  Configuration
* CallbackInvocationStubFactory() has an additional long parameter
* ServiceInvocationStubFactory() has an additional long parameter
* InvocationStubFactory() has an additional long parameter
* InvocationHandler() has an additional long parameter

The configuration for the proxy annotation cache has become a global configuration variable:
ConfigurationManager.confVar.ProxyAnnotationCacheSize

2020-04-08 (BPM-3392)
Execution contexts (and simple session contexts) can be retrieved for activated and enquired nodes.
To prevent arbitrary agents from reading the execution context, the requesting agent has to have the
corresponding activity on the worklist. This check also applies when selecting or starting an
activity.
The worklist check can be disabled via the configuration value
"ExecutionManager.SkipWorklistCheckForActivityStarting". Be aware that skipping the worklist check
will allow every agent to retrieve the execution context of every activity! It also allows every
agent to select and start every activity.
For activities that are part of a group, there has been a relaxed execution context retrieval. This
allowed to retrieve these execution contexts for suspendend, activated and enquired nodes without
checking the requesting agent. This has been removed and now also checks that the requesting agent
has the activity on the worklist. You need to set the SAR appropriately. However, the old semantic
can be enforced using the configuration value
"ExecutionManager.IgnoreAssignmentForExecutionContextRetrievalForGrouped".
API-Changes:
* WrongAgentException has become a checked exception which affects the following signatures:
  * ActivityEventManager.deselectActivity()
  * ActivityEventManager.getSimpleSessionContext()
  * ActivityEventManager.startActivity()
  * ActivityStarting.deselectActivity()
  * ActivityStarting.startActivity()
  * ActivityStarting.getExecutionContext()
  * SynchronousActivityStarting.startActivitySynchronously()
  * RemoteActivityStarting.startActivity()
  * RemoteActivityStarting.getSimpleSessionContext()
* Starting an activity or retrieving the execution context requires the activity to be on the worklist of the calling agent which changes the semantic of the following the methods:
  * ActivityEventManager.selectActivity()
  * ActivityEventManager.startActivity()
  * ActivityEventManager.getSimpleSessionContext()
  * ActivityStarting.selectActivity()
  * ActivityStarting.startActivity
  * ActivityStarting.resumeActivity()
  * ActivityStarting.enquireActivity()
  * ActivityStarting.replyEnquire()
  * ActivityStarting.getExecutionContext()
  * ActivityStarting.getExecutionContexts()
  * ActivityExecutionTools.checkActivityForStarting()
  * ActivityExecutionTools.checkActivityForSelection()
  * ActivityExecutionTools.checkActivityForDeselection()
  * ActivityExecutionTools.checkActivityForRetrievingContext()
  * SynchronousActivityStarting.startActivitySynchronously()
  * SynchronousActivityStarting.resumeActivitySynchronously()
  * RemoteActivityStarting.startActivity()
  * RemoteActivityStarting.resumeActivity()
  * RemoteActivityStarting.getSimpleSessionContext()
  * RemoteActivityStarting.getSimpleSessionContexts()
* DefaultActivityStarting() has two additional boolean parameters.
* The order of the second and third parameter of
  WrongAgentException(String, QualifiedAgent, QualifiedAgent) changed.
* An additional parameter for DefaultExecutionManager.newSubstituteSession()
Affected: Server, Clients, API

2020-04-08 (BPM-3426)
A SignedSecurityToken allows to verify several capabilities at once, either disjunction
(hasOneCapability()) or conjunction (hasAllCapabilities()). The simple check (hasCapability()) is
deprecated now and should be replaced by hasOneCapability(). This also affects various other
interfaces and implementations that allow to check for capabilities.
Affected: API

SurveyJS Component allowing to use forms modelled with the SurveyJS creator found at
https://surveyjs.io/create-survey/ to be executed as activity.
Affected: Integrated Server, Automatic Client, Client, Test Client, RAP Client

2020-03-23 (BPM-3408)
The host name mapping keeps the original name for the messages.
Therefore the host name mapping works like this: The (logical) server name (with which the server
has exported services) is mapped to a physical server address (or name). The latter establishes the
connection to the server, the first one is used to identify services on the server.
API-Changes:
* InvocationTarget.getInvocationHandling()
* GlobalInvocationTarget.getInvocationHandling()
* ForwardingInvocationTarget.getInvocationHandling()
* InvocationHandling()
* InvocationDelegate.invoke()
* InvocationStub.invoke()
* InvocationHandler()
Affects: All client applications.

API-Changes:
* ClusterTools.setupClusterLogger() no longer has the log level as parameter
* ClusterNode() has additional parameters: int and long configuring the service availability tracker
* ClusterNodeState.getStatus() returns additionally the time of the last status update and the time
  since when the node is running
Affected: Cluster

2020-03-10 (BPM-3393)
The activity templates of some interactive execution environments (Form, GeneratedForm,
HTMLTemplate, OpenOffice) had a wrong SAR as default. It should resolve to all agents except for the
Automatic Client but missed agents without a role. Now it also considers these agents. You will have
to replace the corresponding activities in your process templates or change the SAR manually if you
need to adapt it.
Affected: Pre-defined ACBs (Server)

2020-03-10 (BPM-3401)
The context menu of a data element in the instance view allows for copying the latest value of the

The year has been updated to 2020.
Affected: All

2020-01-29 (BPM-3058)
Exception handling has been improved for escalation measure "finish with defaults": The runtime
manager being unavailable no longer leads to an abortion of the escalation. Instead the activity
will be reset. Also in some other cases where the activity does not respond to state changes, a
reset may take place before finishing the activity with default values.
Affected: Execution Manager, Worklist Manager (Server)

2020-01-28 (BPM-3270)
Mailing worklists now properly process incremental worklist updates. This also removes
NullPointerException in OrderedMailingClientWorklist.sendUpdateMail().
Affected: Worklist Manager (Server)

2020-01-28 (BPM-3318)
Start and end nodes can be aborted in case the corresponding data container has problems. This
allows to properly abort the process instance. However, there is not much one can do to fix it,
since without a proper data container no data can be exchanged between parent and child process
instances.
Affected: Execution Manager (Server)

2020-01-27 (BPM-3344)
Removed a deadlock with one connection communications trying to retrieve the global registry before
the service registry has been started sufficiently.
Affected: All (Registry)

2020-01-27 (BPM-3310)
The special properties required by some DBMS, e. g. handling of timestamp objects in Oracle, are now
also applied in data sources without connection pooling. For the default pooling data sources
nothing changed.
If you use a data source from a servlet container (AppServerJDBCDataSource), you will have to set
these properties within the configuration of the servlet container as before.
Affected: JDBCDataSource (Server and Clients accessing a DBMS)

2020-01-24 (BPM-3352)
Command line options (-SJW, --skipjavawarning, --forceunsupportedjava) allow to skip the modal

messages complaining about no communication being possible with the previous server.
Affected: Cluster Node

2020-01-23 (BPM-3362)
SecurityTools use SHA512 and TLSv1.2 instead of MD5 and TLS. This makes the communication between
previous releases impossible. Use the (system) property "arflow.usePre300Security" to use the old
algorithms.
API-Changes:
* SecurityTools.getDefaultKeyManagerFactoryInstance() replaced by
  SecurityTools.getKeyManagerFactoryInstance()
* SecurityTools.SIGNING_ALGORITHM removed
Affected: All

2020-01-22 (BPM-3294)
Server, Process Image Renderer and Runtime Manager have a REST API generated as OpenAPI. Refer to

The release name and the edition are displayed in the about dialogues as well as besides the licence
information.
Affected: All

2020-01-14 (BPM-3351)
ActivityStateListener, InstanceStateListener and ExecutionMessageListener have implementations that
allow for registering local notification implementations. Note that these do not work remote; for a
remote listener you still have to implement the interfaces and export the corresponding service.
The ActivityStateListener already had that option. However, to unify the interfaces for all 3
listeners, the interface of ActivityStateListener has changed. Additionally, the instance state
listener no longer notifies an instance resume to the listener registered newly when resuming but to
the previous listener.
API-Changes:
* ActivityStateListener.registerActivityStateListener() replaced by
  LocalActivityStateNotifier.registerActivityStateListener()
* ActivityStateListener.unregisterActivityStateListener() replaced by
  LocalActivityStateNotifier.unregisterActivityStateListener()
* InstanceStateNotification.instanceResumed()
* InstanceNotificationManager.instanceResumed()
* DefaultActivityStateListener replaced by DefaultLocalActivityStateListener (may affect
  configurations)
* The registry returns ActivityStateListener, InstanceStateListener and ExecutionMessageListener. Do
  not request subclasses of these! But you may safely cast the returned service instances to
  LocalActivityStateNotifier, LocalInstanceStateNotifier, resp. LocalExecutionMessageNotifier.
Affected: ExecutionManager, RuntimeManager, RuntimeService (Server, AutomaticClient, Client)

2020-01-08 (BPM-3303)
Javadoc archives have been renamed from aristaflow-javadoc.zip to aristaflow-javadoc.jar and from
aristaflow-javadoc-all.zip to de.aristaflow.adept2.adept2plugin.doc_*.jar. The latter conforms to
the Eclipse plugin naming scheme and will be used as javadoc when found by the Eclipse IDE.
There is a javadoc service providing the javadoc via web server embedded into the AristaFlow server.
The service can be started explicitly (see configuration) or it will be started implicitly when
exporting at least one web service. The corresponding link will be displayed in the overview page of
the web service. The jar-file containing the javadoc needs to be present in the classpath; it is not
included in the server bundle.
Affected: Server

2019-12-09 (BPM-3303)
InstanceControl.getInstantiableTemplateReferencesIterator() no longer throws a ClassCastException.
Affected: Process Manager (Server)

2019-12-09 (BPM-3303)

Resetting an activity no longer leads to an InvalidActivityStateException and not all corresponding
instance data to be removed.
Affected: Execution Manager (Server)

2019-12-09 (BPM-3363)
The implementation for HTMLContext.waitForHTTPReply() is fixed so it only waits for the designated
time. There could have been situations, where the waiting time was applied several times before
returning.
Affected: WebForm (Client, AutomaticClient, Integrated Server)

2019-12-09 (BPM-3357)
Deselecting an activity no longer succeeds for every agent. The capability verification is fixed so
that only the selecting agent and the supervisor role as well as the system role can deselect
activities.
Affected: Execution Manager (Server)

2019-12-09 (BPM-3331)
The worklist model factory has a generalised method for creating incremental worklists. A second new
method allows for creating incremental worklists from an existing worklist.
API-Change:
* WorklistModelFactory.createAdministrativeWorklistIncrementally() replaced by
  WorklistModelFactory.createWorklistIncrementally()
Affected: Worklist Manager (Server)

2019-12-09 (BPM-3339)
WorklistUpdateConfiguration.getUpdatesIncrementally() has not been considered at all (for pushed
client worklist updates). It has been replaced by a threshold specifying the size of the worklist
update to send a (pushed client worklist) update as incremental. Use Integer.MAX_VALUE to get
complete updates only, 0 for incremental updates only and -1 to use the threshold configured for the
server. The default is -1 which is closest to the old behaviour.
API-Changes:
* WorklistModelFactory.createWorklistConfiguration()
* DefaultWorklistConfiguration()
* DefaultWorklistConfiguration.incUpdateThreshold is new which renders XStream serialisation with
  previous releases incompatible.
Affected: Worklist Manager (Server)

2019-12-06 (BPM-3327)
Specifying a root class for log filtering now works properly. A filter supports a list of
classes/packages which will allow for logging from matching classes (these classes being the source
class of a log record). Previously a filter with a root class only allowed log records from this
class. See the logger configuration (de.aristaflow.adept2.base.configuration.LoggerManager) for
details.
Affected: Logging (All)

2019-12-06 (BPM-3328)
The interfaces of WorklistUpdateManager and DelegationManager are simpler: Some methods no longer
need a WorklistItem but just the worklist item ID (UUID).
API-Changes:
* DelegationManager.getDelegationRecipients()
* DelegationManager.getDelegationRecipientsIterator()
* DelegationManager.delegateWorkItem()
* DelegationManager.delegateBack()
* WorklistUpdateManager.rejectWorklistItem()
Affected: Worklist Manager (Server)

2019-12-06 (BPM-3329)

* FileEvent.getAsURI() replaced by Path#toUri()
* FileEvent.getAsURL() replaced by Path#toUri()
* FileEvent.getFile() replaced by Path#toFile()
Affected: All

2019-12-06 (BPM-3117)
Per default a database connection is now only validated when checking it out. Additionally, there
need to be at least 5 seconds between validations. This greatly reduces the amount of validations.
Affected: Database Access (Server, Automatic Client)

2019-12-06 (BPM-3330)
The provided method for encoding byte[] to Base64 has been simplified and no longer throws an
IOException. Also the string representations of Locale will be replaced by language tags (IETF BCP
47) gradually.
API-Changes:
* ConfigurationTools.toString(byte[]) no longer throws IOException
* RichAgent()
Affected: All

2019-12-04 (BPM-3338)
Some generic methods using lambdas allow for easily transforming collections and arrays and
respecting null in various situations, e. g. comparing.
Affected: All

2019-12-04 (BPM-3366)
The provided configuration files for RemoteHTMLRuntimeManager and PIR now use the correct variable
confVar.MainExportService for exporting all services instead of confVar.MainCommunicationService.
Since both variables are set to the same value, this will not change anything in most cases.
Affected: Provided configuration files for RemoteHTMLRuntimeManager and PIR (Client,

Affected: All

2019-02-06 (BPM-3099)
The WebForm now uses a UTC 00:00 timestamp for date values which do not have a time part. Before
that change, if a user selected e. g. '17.09.2019' while using a German locale, the stored "date"
was '16.09.2019 22:00 UTC' (i. e. '17.09.2019 00:00 CEST;). With the new behaviour, the result will
be '17.09.2019 00:00 UTC;. This fits perfectly when e.g. storing that value into an SQL table with a
DATE column, since UTC is used throughout the server. As a side effect, other parts of the UI not
knowing about the date value being intended to be a date without time, will display the resulting
'17.09.2019 00:00 UTC' in the corresponding locale / timezone of the user, resulting e.g. in
'17.09.2019 02:00 CEST' for a German locale.
Affected: WebForm

2019-01-31 (BPM-3289, BPM-3226)
