Release Notes for the installable version of the AgileApps Cloud platform.

See also:

About the Installable Version

The installable version of the platform lets you create and manage a private cloud behind your corporate firewall. It can also be used to set up a public cloud that serves multiple clients--generally with a shared application and global data. This page highlights changes to the installation process, along with features of the new release.

Platform Functionality

Feature Enhancements

This page describes late-breaking features and bug fixes, as well as features of interest to installers.
See the Release Notes for other enhancements that have added to the cloud platform since the last major release.

Bug Fixes

LJP-59 Validation when field removed from a form is used in a layout rule
LJP-82 Reinstalling a package with change to a field's type didn't reset the read-only property
LJP-89 Correct sorting issue in Tasks view
LJP-98 New dashboard was not visible to all
LJP-102 Custom Access Criteria for list view was not applied in combination with other expressions
LJP-121 Report presentation in dashboard did not match the actual report
LJP-126 Layout rules could not be used to disable Radio buttons

Installing and Upgrading

Ensure that Software Requirements are Met

Before starting either a First-Time Installation or a platform upgrade, ensure that dependent utilities are at the minimum levels specified in the Software Requirements.

Upgrade Notes

Changes to the Software Requirements

These software requirements have been upgraded:
  • JDK 8
    Note:
    While the installation and operation of the platform requires Java 8, custom code in a Java Class continues to be validated against Java 6 syntax -- in part because the instrumentation engine responsible for monitoring resource utilization only works on version 6 byte codes.

Additional Installation Step for RedHat 6

Installations on RedHat version 6 need to ensure that the 32-bit version of the gcc library is found on the Java path. If the 64-bit version is found, and Java Code Governors are enabled, a StaticProbeInstrumenterException occurs when attempting to compile a Java class in the platform. To eliminate that problem:
  1. Login as a root
  2. Install the 32-bit instrumentation library:
    yum install libstdc++.i686 libstdc++.x86_64
  3. Verify that it is working:
    • Go to ${TOMCAT_DIR}/bin/instrumentation/os/linux/x86 folder
    • Execute the binary: /probeinstrumenter
      You should see usage instructions for the probeinstrumenter.
