Panacea are pleased to announce the release of Workflow Studio 4.4

Key Features

[+/-] Support for new customisation types - overlays:

Workflow Studio now has support for customisation types – see the Form and Application Objects Guide from BMC for more information on this new feature within 7.6.04. See Chapter 15 of the Workflow Studio Getting Started Guide for more information on this feature. New features: 1) Compare overlaid/overlay objects on same server, 2) Limit comparison by customisation type, 3) New browser functions to convert - base > custom and vice verca > create overlay There are limitations which apply to overlay in this release and 7.6.04 features within the tool. These are in Chapter 6 of release note.

[+/-] Changes to Comparison Preferences:

The Comparison preferences have been changed to include options to limit by customisation type. Certain performance preferences have been removed as these were considered redundant. Current comparison preferences have also been added to the standard compare dialogue for ease of use.

[+/-] Image comparison now possible from left hand treeview:

Image comparison now possible from left hand treeview

[+/-] Compare Servers:

Enhanced comparison of servers. Now separates the comparison of objects by object type, so that worlflow is no longer displayed below forms in the difference browser but in a separate node on the treeview. This will improve performance of the server comparison.

[+/-] Modified preference – Server Comparison only file|preferences|Comparison “skip workflow/objects prefixed with...”:

This preference has been modified to be used with the change in server comparison functionality. Objects that have a prefix that is specified in this field will be ignored during the server compare (multiple prefixes can be entered as long as separated by a ;)

[+/-] Export to file:

It is now possible to export workflow objects to .def, .csv or .lst file from various points within the tool. You may also export an object plus its relationships to one of these three file types. The csv format is currently only exporting basic information for the object. This will be extended in the next patch release. More information is available in Chapter 8 of the Getting Started Guide.

[+/-] Improved browser performance:

Several changes have been made to the Workspace Server browsing window to allow faster browsing of workflow, in both cached and live modes.

[+/-] Multiple merge functionality improved:

Users may now merge multiple PTG files into a single release PTG. Should the tool find duplicate objects in different PTGs it will keep the latest version exported and report the duplicate at the end of the merge. See Chapter 13 of the Getting Started Guide for more information.

[+/-] Repository folder browsing improved:

Users may now use the “browse workflow + detail” option to inspect the contents of multiple PTGs within a repository in a single document. Using the filtering mechanism this allows a user to rapidly locate workflow or fields/forms/vuis that exist in separate PTGs but which are stored within the same repository. See Chapter 13 of the Getting Started Guide for more information.

[+/-] CMDB comparison and migration:

It is now possible to compare a CMDB class between AR servers to produce a difference report, and then to save the differences to a PTG file. A rollback PTG may be saved at the same time so it is possible to remove the changes made from importing the original PTG file.

[+/-] Improved PTG management:

The PTG repository can now contain sub folders to help organise collections of PTG files. The ability to add, remove and rename folders, and to rename PTG files has been added as well as a machanism to browse the PTG repository and sub folders to obtain additional information and locate contained items more easily. Developers can also make use of the Multi-merge functionality to merge any number of PTG's into a single release PTG. See the getting started guide for full information.

[+/-] Rollback PTG created automatically:

The process for exporting to PTG from a difference file, now allows the automatic creation of a rollback PTG.

[+/-] Export to CSV from difference report.:

Export all differences found during a comparison operation into a single csv file, suitable for editing within MS Excel. This feature has been included to provide a method for users to quickly isolate specific object attribiute differences, rather than scanning large HTML or RTF files. E.g. filter the csv to display all differences, within an object type of Active Link, where the execute on attribute differs. Previously this would of required laboriously scanning the difference browser or HTML..
