New Product Features

Configuration and Administration GUI

• Allows configuration checks for a project or a runtime within a service instance. For that use the menu item „Execute -> Validate configuration file…“ on project or runtime view. Furthermore if a project start failed, then the project configuration is automatically checked and shows his results at a popUp window.
• A new tree node „Proxy settings“ at runtime configuration is added. There can add, edit and remove a single „proxy setting“ which corresponds to the „proxySetting“ element. A proxy setting is only for each proxy protocol allowed.
• At runtime configuration new tree nodes are added to configure post engines. Per default exists always a default engine, which can not configured. To add more engines use the context menu entries at the „Engine“ or „Engines“ node. There are two kinds of engines. An „AddressDoctor cloud engine“ for the cloud service from the AddressDoctor company and a „TOLERANT cloud engine“ for our own cloud service. The connection setting to the particular cloud service can configured on its single cloud node. To remove or copy an engine use the context menu on the engine node.
• New tree nodes added to configure profile engines on a post profile. The profile engine corresponds to the „postEnginemap“ element. Per default exists a default profile engine for each profile, which refers to the default engine. To add a new profile engine use the context menu entry on the default profile engine „Profile engine“ node or the „Profile engines“ node. This is only allowed if at least one post engine at runtime settings exist. To remove or copy a profile engine use the context menu on a profile engine node.
• The synonymFile attribute „allowEmptyResults“ was added to synonym file configuration.
• New sub menu „Show ReleasNotes“ for menu item „Help“ to open ReleaseNotes.html in a new browser tab
• At service runtime configuration a new tree node is added to activate the bulk request functionality. To add use the context menu on „Runtime settings“. To remove use context menu on the new „Bulk requests“ node.

Service
