1. Introduction

This document contains release notes for iKnowBase software releases 8.3 and back to release 6.0. For older versions, refer to earlier release notes.

Two important issues before you continue:

  • The installation guide is upgraded for every version. Please read the installation guide before starting your upgrade process.

  • Always upgrade a test environment before upgrading the production environment, and make sure that the new version works well with your existing applications and solutions.

2. New features

This chapter lists major new features for each release. Note that there might be many smaller enhancements not shown in this chapter, listed in detail in the "closed issues" chapter.

2.1. Release 8.3

2.2. Release 8.2

  • Image editor API.

2.3. Release 8.1

  • Support for JDK 11.

  • Support for Oracle Database 19c.

  • Support for Oracle Cloud Autonomous Database.

2.4. Release 8.0

  • Generic support for OpenID Connect identity federation enables sign in support for a wide range of external identity providers.

    • Includes auto-connecting accounts on sign in when the user has a preexisting local account.

    • Includes support for sign up if the user does not have a preexisting user account.

2.5. Release 7.7

  • The ContentQuery Java API is now capable of using an annotated java bean and additional object injection and/or post processing arguments to further and more elegantly enhance the resulting bean. This is also now supported per ContentQueryRow, and not only for the whole result row set.

  • The Solr configuration allows for specifying whether to use XML or BINARY for the network communication; the XML protocol is slower, but has better compatibility with different Solr server versions. BINARY is still the default.

  • iKnowBase user repository now supports bcrypt password algorithm.

  • iKnowBase Page Engine now supports Java Form portlets to ease migration from iKnowBase Classic to the new Java-based development model. You may convert an existing Classic Form definition to a Java Form definition.

2.6. Release 7.6

  • "iKnowBase Functions" is a new service that enables managed execution of Java functions. Executions can be initiated using either a Java or a PL/SQL API, and can be either synchronous or asynchronous. Executions are scheduled using an Oracle AQ-queue, and served by a service inside the iKnowBase application server. Each execution is logged, with input and output values. "Functions" provide excellent performance, scalability, and manageability. It may replace custom queue based solutions and ease migration from iKnowBase Classic to the new Java-based development model.

  • The ContentQuery Java API is now capable of using an annotated java bean for both configuration and mapping. A simple java class with properties annotated with @AttributeMapping can be used in the method select(class), in order to specify which attributes to retrieve, and in the method getRows(class), to retrieve an already-mapped java object.

  • A new Java API allows for easy and stepwise migration from Classic Pages. It is now possible to configure a Classic Page with a reference to a Java method, which will then be responsible for rendering the page. The method will have access to all data from the Page, but can also use pure Java mechanisms to optimize performance and improve the development experience.

  • A new feature in the Classic PageEngine allows a Classic Page to use a pure Java Servlet or @Controller as a Layout Page, with no configuration in the Classic repository. This mechanism, too, enables gradual migration from iKnowBase Classic to the new Java-based development model.

  • A new authentication module uses HTTP-headers to manage the responses given for authentication failures. This gives clients such as single page javascript applications or mobile apps complete control of the login flow, and enables a more seamless application experience.

  • WebDAV now supports editing non-active versions of versioned documents if enabled on the document type definition.

2.7. Release 7.5

  • Static resources are now supported as root resources enabling any non-reserved paths to be used for these resources. This enhances support for deployment of modern front end applications and they may now freely choose deployment path.

  • A new method on SolrSearchClient enables streaming of the Solr search result directly to a web client, in the format returned from the Solr server.

  • The service API now support the operations save, copy, delete and get for subsystems.

  • Support recovery of deleted documents. Activate the trash bin functionality per document type by setting a number of days to keep the documents. Deleted documents will automatically be stored in the trash bin and can be restored from a new pane in the Content Studio (/cs/tools/trashbin). Expired 'trash' will automatically be removed after the number of days set on the information type.

  • Support audit trail for document changes. Audit trail is activated by a document event. The event function 'Audit trail for documents' is installed during upgrade. The event function will track all changes to a document, including timestamp, username, original and new values. Note: Values for large object (clob/blob) are not stored in the audit log. The audit trail for a document is available in Content Studio.

2.8. Release 7.4

  • The ContentQuery Java API now supports the use of database functions implemented in PL/SQL. These functions can return varchar, clob, number or date values, and can be used in both select() and order() clauses.

  • The ContentQuery Java API now supports the use of client-side functions implemented in Java. These functions can return String, Number, Date or Object values, and can be used only in select() clauses. They function as "virtual columns", are only evaluated on demand, and only once per row.

  • The PageService Java API now supports rendering Java portlets on demand, by name. This enables the creation of dynamic pages, where the choice of portlets is made at run time rather than at design time.

  • The Java API for implementing portlets now resolves method arguments of SolrSearchClientProvider, enabling the use of Solr from inside portlets.

  • A new FreeMarker function encodeURL provides easier access to the static resources cache features first introduce in iKnowBase 7.2.

  • The ContentServer now supports conditional caching. For objects that do not have specific cache rules, it will produce "Last-Modified" and "Cache-control" headers, and it will honor "If-Modified-Since" in requests.

  • REST API for provisioning user accounts, groups and access control lists is now included.

  • REST infrastructure for building services based on Spring Data REST and Spring HATEOAS is now included.

  • A new prometheus-exporter makes is easy to monitor the iKnowBase installation using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana.

2.9. Release 7.3

  • Simplified continuous deployment of plugins. Plugin developers may now assemble and deploy their plugin to centralized development server(s) directly from command line, IDE or administration console.

  • Plugin support for custom WebDAV file structure. Information stored in iKnowBase can now be represented as files and folders accessible using a WebDAV client (Microsoft Windows Explorer, GoodReader, ++). All regular file and folder operations are supported (list, read, create, rename, update, copy, move, delete). The directory structure is fully customizable.

  • Plugin support for Java SDK Portlet enables seamless integration of plugin content in iKnowBase Page.

  • Content Transformation support in Content Query API enables both Content Transformation links and actual transformation of binary content.

2.10. Release 7.2

  • iKnowBase application has been migrated to the Spring Boot platform and is now deployed as a single application.

  • New Content Transformation Service for transformation of binary content.

    • Cacheable on demand transformation replaces generation of image variants during save. This results in faster response times during save. It also significantly consumes less storage since only actually used variants are stored in cache. The service is also more flexible since the transformations are not required to be defined in database before use.

    • Leverages preexisting support from existing Image Editor, File Converter, Oracle Multimedia and Oracle Text.

    • New transformation support via CloudConvert (www.cloudconvert.com).

  • Major enhancements to Java plugin development.

    • Simplified build setup through use of iKnowBase Gradle script plugins.

    • Simplified development through use of @ComponentScan.

    • Greatly enhanced testing support from Spring Boot.

  • Improved caching options for static resources. Supports cache headers, versioned resource resolution and in-memory caching of static resources.

  • iKnowBase Web Server now handles on-the-fly compression of all text content (html, text, css, js, …​)

  • Database persisted sessions are now activated by default and offers session availability, which means that

    • Users will not be logged out nor loose any session data if the server is restarted.

    • You may load balance multiple nodes without using session persistence / sticky sessions, which makes it easier to distribute load evenly.

2.11. Release 7.1

iKnowBase 7.1 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. There are no major new features in this release.

2.12. Release 7.0

  • Java development enhancements

    • Additional java APIs available for interacting with content

      • ContentQuery for querying for documents and other content

      • DimensionQuery for querying for dimensions

    • Additional Java APIs provides access to Content and Presentation Services for applications that live outside the iKnowBase web application (standalone applications, external web application, integration engines, etc.)

      • ContentServicesEngine for accessing the iKnowBase Content Services

      • PresentationServicesEngine for using the iKnowBase Presentation Services

    • Source code generator for creating java objects and constants matching the iKnowBase metadata, for typesafe java code

    • Simplified development of plugin forms using Spring MVC, bean validation, file based FreeMarker and iKnowBase services.

  • Template enhancements

    • The template engine now support JavaScript templates on the server, through the nashorn JavaScript engine available in java 8.

    • The template engine now supports "chained templates", making it possible to combine two templates in the same request. This enables using for example groovy or javascript for logic, leaving formatting to a more traditional FreeMarker template.

  • WebDAV enhancements

    • The WebDAV browser integration does not longer require the SharePoint plugin. Chrome has recently deactivated plugins based on NPAPI and iKnowBase will now by default use Microsoft Office URI scheme protocol extensions instead.

    • The WebDAV server no longer requires a dedicated hostname for itself. While dedicated hostnames are still supported, the new WebDAV module will automatically detect and serve WebDAV traffic for Microsoft Office clients, on the same host and port as the main iKnowBase application.

    • Support for form based authentication has been added, which extends the existing authentication support with both social (e.g. Google) and SAML2 options (e.g. Microsoft ADFS). See WebDAV compatibility section for more information.

  • Solr integration enhancements

    • It is now possible to configure the SolrServer-connection using the Java SDK. This gives full control of the SolrServer configuration, including configuration parameters or even the use of custom SolrServer classes.

  • Oracle Text

    • Now possible to disable indexing of file (binary) content in Oracle Text, which results in reduced index size, reduced growth and better performance. This is particularly useful if you’ve started using SOLR search and no longer require this information in the regular iKnowBase Search Sources. See Installation Guide > Database repository.

  • iKnowBase LDAP Synchronization enhancements

    • Support for synchronizing users and groups from OpenDJ.

  • iKnowBase web server enhancements

    • Support for HTTPS Server Name Indication (SNI) makes it possible to use more than one SSL certificate on iKnowBase web server. This is a typical requirement when hosting multiple sites on the same server and it is now also possible without SSL termination in front of iKnowBase web server.

2.13. Release 6.7

  • The various iKnowBase web applications have been merged to a single application, with configuration options to enable and disable features as required. This eases both development and deployment, and it reduces the memory requirements for a typical installation.

  • Third-party authentication support has been extended with:

    • Microsoft Live / Microsoft account.

    • SAML2, which enables authentication with SAML2 compatible Identity Providers, such as Microsoft ADFS, Feide and Salesforce.

  • Plugin development has gone through a major reconstruction with:

    • New build setup for root project and plugin projects.

    • Significant simplification to build logic, project structure, run, debug, and assemble plugin. No additional generated build projects just a root project and your plugins.

    • Support in iKnowBase Quickstart utility for assembling the iKnowBase .war deployment with all plugins.

    • Major improvements in the Export utility, it now if possible to run precheck against the target destination without file download/upload. This eases the job of creating valid transport sets importable on the destination.

2.14. Release 6.6

  • iKnowBase now ships with a security framework based on Spring Security, which provides a number of interesting features:

    • The framework has a large number of supported authentication modules, including BASIC, form, Windows spnego, etc. Multiple modules may be active at the same time.

    • Form-based login is supported for all environments, and is the default for the embedded QuickStart application server.

    • Third-party login is supported through extension to the spring security framework. iKnowBase ships with support for google, facebook, twitter and linkedin-basert authentication.

    • Java-based controllers may now verify ACL-membership as part of their authorization checks.

  • The ServiceAPI has been significantly enhanced, both in syntax and functionality, across both the PL/SQL and Java layers. Custom application development using the API is much simpler, and the resulting code is much simpler, than before.

    • Many references to metadata (document types, attributes, etc) can be done using a String value for externalKey, instead of a full ObjectReference object.

    • The most important object types now have a number of easy-to-use constructors that simplify code.

    • Document attribute values are automatically converted during save, according to the attribute type.

    • The SaveDocumentAttributes API allows saving of attributes without having to construct a full Document object. External keys for standard document properties (such as IKB$TITLE) lets you update the title of a document without the document object.

  • A new command in ikbStudio lets you convert FreeForm and tabular presentation styles to template presentation styles with a single click, with reliable "revert" functionality if the output is not as expected.

2.15. Release 6.5

  • Support for arbitrary text editors in Forms, so that you may choose for example TinyMCE 4, CKEditor or others. The mechanisms used for this support make it easy to upgrade the editor in a customer installation, without requiring an iKnowBase-upgrade, for example when an editor vendor releases a patch to support a new browser.

  • An iKnowBase-plugin for TinyMCE 4, so that you can add "link archive" and "image archive" buttons to a TinyMCE 4 editor.

  • The ContentServer now supports the Http Range header, which is a requirement for various media players to work. Playing video from iKnowBase just got easier!

  • Development toolkit has been enhanced with features around front end controller mechanisms, to develop web pages endpoints using java technologies. The toolkit also supports using the iKnowBase template technology from your java applications, and to execute iKnowBase Pages from within java code.

  • A new EmailSender service uses java-based email technology as part of the Batch server. This enables access to more functionality such as SSL-based connections, mail server authentication and setting arbitrary SMTP-headers. It also enables email sending from environments where the database itself does not have access to an email server, such as certain secure network or the Amazon RDS for Oracle cloud database platform.

  • A new ImagedEditor service uses java-based image editing technology as part of the Batch server. This enables access to image editing in environments where the database does not support Oracle Multimedia extensions, such as the Amazon RDS for Oracle cloud database platform.

  • With the two extensions above, iKnowBase can run using an Amazon RDS for Oracle cloud database platform. Note that support for Amazon RDS should be considered experimental in this release.

  • The iKnowBase instant request-response interface has been extended, and now supports a uniform mechanism for sending messages and querying for state information across protocols. The interface is available using the all the Instant APIs: JavaScript, HTTP and PL/SQL.

  • The iKnowBase Quickstart embedded web server supports HTTPS natively. While we generally recommend terminating HTTPS in a front end appliance or service (such as Apache httpd or similar), there are scenarios where you want or need to serve connections directly from Quickstart. These scenarios can now run HTTPS, too.

2.16. Release 6.4.1

This is a critical maintenance release addressing database connection leak issues and contains no new features.

2.17. Release 6.4

  • Enhanced WebDAV server support based on the Milton IO framework. You can now create a link directly from any iKnowBase Content Viewer to the proper Microsoft Office application, in order to edit the document directly.

Note
 Requires WebDAV enterprise edition license from Milton IO

  • Enhanced Solr search engine support, allow you to use multiple Solr installations (or Solr "cores") independently. This can be useful as an additional security layer for search setup, where you can build entirely independent indexes for intranet and internet users, with different information available.

  • Development Toolkit for building java components and assembling these as part of the iKnowBase applications. While the toolkit is fully supported, it is not finalized and the underlying APIs may change in the next versions. To start using this toolkit, contact the iKnowBase product development team for more information.

2.18. Release 6.3

  • Integrated framework for publishing realtime messages (push messages).

  • Links to HTML, PDF and Plain text versions of a document can easily be added to a page. PDF-versions require a separate license namely "iKnowBase Document Conversion Service".

  • Includes Activiti BPMN process engine version 5.13.

  • Includes Solr search engine version 4.2.

2.19. Release 6.2

A new search engine based on Apache Solr is included.

  • Uses the Lucene library for full-text search

  • Faceted navigation

  • Hit highlighting

  • Replication to other Solr servers

  • Extensible through plugins

  • Pluggable relevance - boost through formula

  • Stemming, synonyms, spelling

  • Autocomplete functionality

2.20. Release 6.1

  • A BPMN process engine based on Activiti.org is included. Activiti is a light-weight workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) Platform targeted at business people, developers and system admins. Its core is a super-fast and rock-solid BPMN 2 process engine for Java.

  • The new iKnowBase Process Studio with an overview of process definitions and process instances.

  • The security model now includes personal access control lists (ACL).

  • FTP-server support against the WebDAV file system. Use a standard FTP-client to gain access to files stored in the iKnowBase CMS.

  • Added support for Groovy scripts as an alternative to FreeMarker. Groovy uses a Java-like syntax, allowing for the reuse of existing Java-code and competence.

  • The new component Script Target is an endpoint (url) where the output is rendered as a complete web page.

  • The new component Script Viewer presents a template on a page. Output is rendered in-line as for any other portlet.

  • Some standard iKnowBase components, ie popups, selectors, calendars, and messages boxes, are re-implemented in Ext JS 4, with some improvements. iKnowBase 6.1 has no longer a dependency to Ext JS 3.

  • The TinyMCE editor is upgraded to version 3.5.2.

  • New attribute types; user, acl and documenttype.

2.21. Release 6.0

  • The Document Archive, delivered as part of the iKnowBase Content Studio, has been rewritten as a rich internet application. The Image Archive component, new in version 5.9, has also been further improved.

  • A new web application "ikbWebdav" enables WebDAV-based access to documents inside iKnowBase. This allows direct file access from operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows), or Office Suites (such as Microsoft Office). Further information can be found in the Development Guide.

  • A new newsletter-component based on the iKnowBase Page Engine has been included. This provides superior formatting over the old component, with all capabilities from the page engine available for use. Please note that this component is not available on the Oracle OC4J application server technology.

  • The embedded web server (part of the Quickstart program) is now supported for production use, with either Microsoft Active Directory or the iKnowBase repository for authentication. When using Microsoft AD, automatic login using Kerberos (SPNEGO, WNA) can be used.

  • Tooltip functions have been converted to use the cluetip library. Cluetip supports in addition to title/description tooltips the use of page content rendered in mouseover functions. Further information can be found in the Development Guide.

  • A document can be referred in HTML as an image or a file link. This is often done when you use a TinyMCE editor to add text to a document. A new database table will now automatic be updated with these references and can easily be extracted in viewers to display relations between documents. The new table is called document_usage and will be populated every time you save a document.

3. Changed functionality

This chapter lists functionality that has changed behavior or has been removed in the specified release, or that will be removed in the future. Read this chapter to see if this version contains changes that influence the functionality provided for and by your solutions.

This chapter does not describe any changes required to your infrastructure or application, in order to maintain current functionality. Such information is described in the next chapter.

3.1. Release 8.3

3.1.1. End of support for

  • Internet Explorer and legacy versions of Microsoft Edge

  • Oracle WebLogic application server

  • Oracle databases older than 19c

3.1.2. Removed iKnowBase functionality

The following config params are now obsolete and should be removed:

  • com.iknowbase.batch.emailReader.*

3.1.4. WebDAV functionality is removed

The following config params are now obsolete and should be removed:

  • com.iknowbase.webdav.*

  • com.iknowbase.spring.security.form.webdavForm*

  • milton.*

  • com.iknowbase.plugin.ikbcontentstudio.enableWebDavEditActions

Any WebDAV related calls in templates may cause errors and should be removed. They should be found by searching for "webdav".

3.2. Release 8.2

3.2.1. End of support for Internet Explorer 10 and older

Support for Internet Explorer earlier than version 11 is now ended, after it was deprecated in iKnowBase 8.0.

3.2.2. Deprecation of support for Internet Explorer and legacy Edge

Support for Internet Explorer and legacy versions of Microsoft Edge is now deprecated and will be ended in the next version.

3.2.3. Deprecation of support for the process engine

Support for the Activiti BPM process engine is now deprecated. This also includes iKnowBase Process Studio.

3.2.4. Deprecation of support for WebLogic

Support for Oracle WebLogic is now deprecated and will be ended in the next version.

3.2.5. Deprecation of support for EmailReader component

Support for the EmailReader component is now deprecated and will be ended in the next version.

3.2.6. Deprecation of support for Oracle DB older than 19c

Older Oracle DB versions than 19c will not be supported in the next release.

3.2.7. Removed references to Oracle Workflow

The package IKB_API contained some procedures with "WF" in the name. These have been unused for a long time, and has been removed. Old customer projects may have project-specific references to these procedures that most likely is never called, but may now fail compilation. Search through custom PLSQL and iKnowBase objects for "WF" and "workflow" and do a cleanup if needed, e.g. the package alias previously included at /ikb$console/development/advanced/packages/95955/. Also note that the ikb_global_prefs constant has_oracle_workflow is discarded, and can be removed from ikb_installation_properties if present.

3.3. Release 8.1

3.3.1. JDK 11

JDK 11 is now the minimum required JDK version and introduces some changes to deployment and functionality. See upgrade section for required changes and required actions if you want to keep the old behaviour (where available).

3.3.2. Classic template support for JavaScript has been removed

Nashorn support is scheduled to be removed from the JDK. Support for JavaScript as classic template implementation type has therefore been removed from iKnowBase. See upgrade issues report in administration console for affected templates.

3.4. Release 8.0

3.4.1. Spring Social

  • Replaced support for Spring Social (end of life) with Spring Security OAuth2. Reconfiguration is required.

    • As part of that change, we’ve removed support for authorized client connection for the external provider. This feature was never used.

3.4.2. Deprecate support for Internet Explorer older than version 11

Microsoft has ended support for Internet Explorer older than version 11. iKnowBase 8.0 will be the last version that supports Internet Explorer versions older than 11.

Beginning January 12, 2016, only the most current version of Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system will receive technical supports and security updates. Internet Explorer 11 is the last version of Internet Explorer, and will continue to receive security updates, compatibility fixes, and technical support on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10.

— https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/WindowsForBusiness/End-of-IE-support

3.4.3. Deprecate support for Java 8

iKnowBase 8.0 will be the last version with support for Java 8.

3.5. Release 7.7

3.5.1. WebLogic provider authentication against iKnowBase user repository no longer supported

Using WebLogic container mode to authenticate against iKnowBase user repository is not supported from iKnowBase 7.7+. iKnowBase 7.7+ will by default use bcrypt for password storage, which is not supported by WebLogic’s standard authentication provider adapters.

See Web Application Security section for configuring iKnowBase’s own authentication modules.

3.5.2. Deprecate support for Nashorn JavaScript Engine

Java has deprecated it’s support for the Nashorn JavaScript Engine (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/335) in JDK 11. This leads to deprecation of support for the Nashorn JavaScript Engine in iKnowBase as well.

3.6. Release 7.6

  • Going forward, documentation will only be delivered in HTML format.

3.7. Release 7.5

3.8. Release 7.4

3.8.1. Fix inconsistency in Java API

Note
 The changes here apply only to the Java API. ContentViewers and Templates in iKnowBase Classis are not affected.

The method ContentQueryRow.getValue() is available in two forms, one that takes an Expression argument, and one that takes a String. In previous releases, these two returned inconsistent results for items returning either an ObjectReference, DocumentReference or UserReference. For example, these two fragements returned different results:

// Assuming "ContentQueryRow row"
ObjectReference a = row.getValue(MasterMetadata.Expressions.IKB$ACL);  // (1)
ContentQueryItemObjectReference b = (ContentQueryItemObjectReference)row.getValue("IKB$ACL");  // (2)
ObjectReference b2 = b.getObjectReference(); // (3)

  1. Used with an Expression, it returned the ObjectReference directly

  2. Used with a String, it returned a ContentQueryItem

  3. To get to the actual objectReference, you have to inspect the item

When called from Java code, the above change will be detected by the compiler. However, the same problem is more probable and less visible from inside FreeMarker-templates:

Acl: ${row.getValue("IKB$ACL").objectReference.label} // (1)
Acl: ${row.getValue("IKB$ACL").label} // (2)

  1. This assumes the intermediate ContentQueryItem, and will no longer work

  2. This is the proper mechanism

To find such problems, search for lines containing ".objectReference", ".documentReference" and ".userReference" in the FreeMarker templates using ContentQueryRow.

3.8.2. Fix inconsistency with missing references

In earlier releases, the iKnowBase API would return inconsistent data for missing references. For example, an ACL-reference field which was empty (no ACL given) would sometimes return the NULL value, and sometimes an ObjectReference where all elements (id, guid, externalKey, label) were NULL.

3.8.3. Rename ContentServer configuration property

The configuration property com.iknowbase.ContentServer.createResponseHeaders has changed name to com.iknowbase.ContentServer.createDocumentReferenceHeader. This property is rarely used.

3.8.4. Remove default cluetip support

The ContentViewer is capable of rendering tooltip information on links it creates, by creating attributes for use with the cluetip library. This library is old, and does not represent current state-of-the-art for web solutions. The ContentViewer Portlet will no longer generate the required scripts to use cluetip. The old behavior can be restored by setting the configuration variable com.iknowbase.contentViewer.clueTip to one of the values delayed (recommended) or traditional.

3.9. Release 7.3

3.9.1. Desupport of iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic

iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic is no longer supported. Use WebLogic’s own ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator Authentication Provider if you require "container" authentication.

3.9.2. iKnowBase Content Studio not deployed by default

The iKnowBase Content Studio now ships as an external plugin and is no longer deployed by default. This enables the projects to implement custom Content Studio versions.

Note
 The document- and image picklists are part of the iKnowBase Content Studio plugin and will no be available unless the plugin is installed.

3.10. Release 7.2

3.10.1. Desupport of Oracle Database 10g

Oracle Database 10g is no longer supported for iKnowBase deployments. Oracle Database 11g is now minimum version.

Oracle Secure Enterprise Search is no longer supported for iKnowBase deployments.

3.11. Release 7.1

iKnowBase 7.1 is a maintenance release focusing on bug fixes and minor improvements. This release does not introduce any major changes in functionality.

3.12. Release 7.0

3.12.1. Desupport of Oracle Portal

iKnowBase no longer ships with portlets for Oracle Portal. The functionality supported by Oracle Portal can generally be implemented better and faster using the iKnowBase Page Engine.

3.12.2. Desupport of iKnowBase Add-in for Microsoft Office

From this release, the iKnowBase Add-in for Microsoft Office is no longer available. Existing customers should migrate to the WebDAV functionality which requires less setup and coding, and provides a better user experience.

Components (ContentViewers and SearchViewers) that use the "edit document" function to generate icons or links that use the add-in are automatically changed to the "edit using webdav" function instead.

3.12.3. Desupport of Fatax Editor

The Fatax Editor is not available from this release onwards. The Fatax- integration was considered experimental, and no production installations will be affected by this.

3.12.4. Desupport of FTP-based access to documents

The WebDAV-server no longer supports FTP-based access to documents. No production installations will be affected by this.

3.12.5. Desupport of iKnowBase Process Services for Oracle BPEL PM

As all customers using Oracle BPEL have now upgraded to the newer Activiti-based business process management, the BPEL-specific components have been removed from the product.

3.12.6. Desupport of GlassFish application server

Deployment on GlassFish application server is no longer supported. GlassFish v3 has been deprecated and is excluded due to new infrastructure requirements for iKnowBase 7.0. Deployment on GlassFish v4 was previously supported, but not recommended due to various issues and support was eventually dropped in iKnowBase 6.6. We currently have no customers using GlassFsh 4 for iKnowBase in production.

Customers on GlassFish v3 must migrate to either iKnowBase Web Server or Oracle WebLogic.

3.12.7. WebDAV browser integration

The WebDAV browser integration has changed from using the SharePoint NPAPI plugin to Microsoft Office URI scheme protocol extensions. The user will no longer need to approve use of a browser plugin. The user is instead prompted for a new application launch approval, which may be remembered, when clicking on WebDAV links.

3.12.8. Uploading HTML-files

Previous versions had a hard time to differ between content written in such editors as TinyMce and HTML-files upload as files. After an upload, the file content was available in editors and not as a file link as expected. HTML-files uploaded from Forms will now be stored as files instead of being converted to html-content. To upload the content from a file to be used from a editor later, either use the service-api to store the file content with the attribute IKB$TEXT or cut and paste the html-file directly into an editor.

All other text files have been converted from CLOB to BLOB and are now stored in document.binary_indexed.

3.12.9. Content Studio now ships as a Java plugin

From iKnowBase 7.0 iKnowBase Content Studio ships as a Java plugin. During upgrade of an existing installation, iKnowBase Content Studio classic pages and targets replaced by new Java-based components will be renamed to /cs/deprecated/ and /ext/cs/deprecated/. A new transport set, which includes the image form and iKnowBase classic components necessary to run forms and statistics, is included in the distribution. When importing this transport set, the image form will be converted to a Java-based form. It can easily be toggled back to iKnowBase classic form for customers who require special configuration.

3.12.10. iKnowBase Process Studio no longer installed by default

iKnowBase Process Studio has been converted to an iKnowBase plugin and is no longer installed by default. See installation documentation.

3.13. Release 6.7

3.13.1. One java web application

iKnowBase ships only two applications:

  • iknowbase-resources, which contains only static resources and may be served by a web server in front of the java application server.

  • iknowbase-webapp, which contains all other modules:

    • Batch (default enabled)

    • Instant

    • Fatax

    • Studio (default enabled)

    • Viewer (default enabled)

    • WebDAV

    • WebServices

The modules can be enabled/disabled, see Installation Guide.

All administration areas (/ikbStudio, /ikbBatch, <each application>/ikb$console) have now been merged to /ikb$console.

3.13.2. RequestModel.getFile() and .getFileMap()

The java-api, also used in groovy-scripts, provides access to uploaded files (technically parts of type "multipart/form-data") through the methods getFile() and getFileMap(). The return value from these methods used to expose certain spring-internals, namely the classes MultiValueMap and MultipartFile. These two methods have been rewritten, and they now use a standard java.util.Map and javax.servlet.http.Part instead.

We are not aware of any external uses of these methods, but if you do use them, a (trivial) rewrite is required.

3.13.3. ProcessServicesWS has been removed

The application ProcessServicesWS has been removed from the distribution. You may use previous versions of this web application if you require this functionality.

3.13.4. Default protection of /ikbStudio and /ikbBatch

With the new single-application deployment model, it is no longer possible to create iKnowBase pages matching /ikbStudio and /ikbBatch. Doing so was never a good form anyway, but is now forbidden.

3.13.5. Security

One application

As all modules are now available in one application, authentication between former applications like ikbStudio and ikbViewer are now one authentication. Of course, if you deploy several versions of the iknowbase-webapp application this means separate authentications.

"Simple authentication" for WebDAV and Instant

WebDAV and Instant is now part of the iknowbase-webapp and will use the following ordered approach for presenting the authentication challenge:

  1. Header (default disabled)

  2. Spnego (default disabled)

  3. Basic (default enabled if non container mode)

  4. Default

The first enabled module wins.

This means that you can have Form based login on all other areas without affecting WebDAV and Instant.

Login form changes

The included login form has been changed. If you have applied custom styling for the included iKnowBase 6.6 login form, you must update the custom styling settings.

Configuration

Form, Spnego and Header login option "realmName" used by XMLHttpRequest and WebDAV has been replaced by "realmName" in Basic configuration.

3.13.6. Plugin development

With the move to a single application for iKnowBase, we have done significant improvements as well as some breaking changes to the iKnowBase Development Toolkit.

You need to create a new plugin development workspace and manually migrate your plugins to the new build structure. See updated plugin development documentation.

Additional access requirements for plugin development:

  • Access to the iKnowBase Artifactory repository

Spring Controller plugins support:

  • Spring component scan on com.iknowbase.plugin removed.

  • Bootstrapping your plugin using spring.factories and @Configuration is required.

  • @Controller annotation should no longer be used. Use @RequestMapping annotation instead to signal that the Spring bean has @RequestMapping methods.

3.13.7. Instant

Javascript onError callback will now be called for all server errors. Previously this required custom error detection as not all server errors would result in onError callback.

3.14. Release 6.6

3.14.1. Require Java 7

iKnowBase now requires Java 7.0 or newer.

Java 7 has been shipping since July 2011, and Java 8 has been shipping since March 2014. Java 6 reached end-of-life in 2013, with the final public update in March that year.

All application servers currently supported by iKnowBase also support running under Java 7. However, Java 7 may require a newer operating system version than Java 6 does; check https://www.java.com/en/download/help/sysreq.xml for details.

3.14.2. GlassFish

Support for GlassFish 3 is now deprecated. From one of the next few releases, iKnowBase will require Oracle WebLogic or iKnowBase Quickstart.

Support for GlassFish 4 has been removed.

GlassFish authentication is no longer supported. Use iKnowBase supplied authentication modules.

3.14.3. Deprecate non-template presentation styles

FreeForm and tabular presentation styles has been around since the beginning of iKnowBase. These style types are a 100% data driven method where you define the layout by defining metadata from where the layout is generated. Later versions introduced FreeMarker as the preferred method.

FreeForm and Tabular will in future releases no longer be supported.

3.14.4. Authentication and authorization

Except for Oracle WebLogic server, the authentication setup has changed, with new default authentication methods and user repositories:

Server Authentication method User repository

iKnowBase Quickstart

Form

iKnowBase

Oracle GlassFish

Form

iKnowBase

Oracle WebLogic

Basic

WebLogic container

Previously, users would not be allowed access to iKnowBase unless they were granted the role IKB_USERS. From this release onwards, this requirement has been removed, and authorization will only rely on ACLs as specified in the application.

3.14.5. Various database changes

The tables LOG_SESSIONS, LOG_DIMENSIONS, MENU_DYN_PREFS and IMAGE_SIZES are no longer in use, and have all been dropped.

The Object types DIMROWS, GENCODEVALUES, DIMPROPS, ATTRIBUTE_TYPE, ATTRIBPROPS, IKBACLTYPE and IKBGENCODES are no longer in use, and have all been dropped.

The old support for NOARK is dropped from the components. No customers are using this functionality.

3.14.6. Removed portlets

The portlets "forgot password", "register user" and "Custom login" made for Oracle Portal long time ago have not been used by any customers, and have all been dropped.

3.14.7. Removed menu renderers

Four menu renderers not in use have been removed:

COL4

menu_dynamic

Vertikal - fire kolonner

YAH2

menu_dynamic

Yahoo - to kolonner

YAH3

menu_dynamic

Yahoo - tre kolonner

YAH4

menu_dynamic

Yahoo - fire kolonner

Banner style set used in Oracle Portal Viewers has been removed

3.14.9. iKnowBase Instant UserList

The one second delay for the UserList message IKB.USERLIST.USERS has been removed and this message will now be delivered immediately after the connection has been established.

3.14.10. ServiceAPI XML-support

Certain test scenarios have uncovered an internal error in the Oracle JDBC-driver stack while operating on XML-data from java or WebServices. There is no fix available, so you will need to test your application for this kind of error.

3.14.11. Removed functions from ActionPortlet

The actions "edit", "delete", "copy to another parent", "move to another parent" and "copy this + subdocs to a new parent" have been removed from the ActionPortlet. They have not been functional for a few versions, but were still available in the user interface.

3.14.12. Process Studio now ships as a Java plugin

From iKnowBase 6.6 iKnowBase Process Studio ships as a Java plugin, rather than iKnowBase components included in a transport set. During upgrade of an existing installation, all pages and targets in the iKnowBase Process Studio subsystem will be renamed to /ps/deprecated/.

3.15. Release 6.5

3.15.1. Activiti Explorer

The Activiti Explorer web application is removed from the iKnowBase distribution. The Activiti Modeler (BPMN web modeler) is part of the Activiti Explorer and will no longer be available. Use the Activiti Eclipse BPMN 2.0 Designer for process modeling.

3.16. Release 6.4.1

This is a critical maintenance release addressing database connection leaks.

3.16.1. Database connection leak in iKnowBase Batch

The PageEngine component in iKnowBase Batch fails to release acquired database connections and will leak one connection per execution.

The issue has been resolved in this release.

3.16.2. Database connection leak in iKnowBase Viewer

iKnowBase Viewer will suffer database connection leaks if an error occurs during database connection initialization.

The issue has been resolved in this release.

3.16.3. Documentation updates

Some documentation errors have been corrected in README.txt and SAMPLE.properties.

3.17. Release 6.4

3.17.1. Solr Configuration

In Solr Configuration you could define if body and description should be stored or not in SOLR. This is removed as options; use instead the SOLR schema.xml to define it on the attribute body and description. It resulted in unnecessary warnings in Solr console.

Abstract is also removed after TIKA was introduced. We cannot apply values to the field if the content should be extracted from the body. In earlier releases it was all done on the database.

3.17.2. Solr attributes

iKnowBase binary file attributes combined with binary content is not supported when indexing. SOLR/Tika supports only one binary file per document object.

3.17.3. Solr access from groovy

The old syntax for referring to a Solr search engine from a groovy script has changed; see the chapter on migration and compatibility for more information.

3.17.4. Oracle WebLogic 11g no longer supported

Oracle WebLogic 11g is no longer supported for running iKnowBase applications due to requirements for servlet 3.0.

3.17.5. Oracle WebLogic 12c supported

iKnowBase is supported on WebLogic 12c 12.1.1-3 application servers.

3.17.6. GlassFish 4 supported

iKnowBase is supported on GlassFish 4 application servers, but not recommended.

GlassFish 4 (build 89) does not correctly operate behind an SSL terminating reverse proxy and iKnowBase will be unable to determine that the request was originally HTTPS. This issue is reported in https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-20842.

GlassFish 4 (build 89) also has problems with session replication in a clustered environment and as a result session failover does not work.

As we strongly recommend all sites to use https for all communication, we do not recommend running a production site on GlassFish 4.

3.17.7. iKnowBase Viewer is deployed to / by default

The iKnowBase Viewer application has traditionally been deployed to /ikbViewer. The application has supported context root /, but this is now set as the default context root.

Customers can still choose to deploy the application as/ikbViewer.

3.17.8. iKnowBase Quickstart configuration

The iKnowBase Quickstart configuration options have been standardized and changed. All previous options are present, but may have a new configuration name. See the provided SAMPLE.properties file.

3.17.9. Only one method in Sendmail will be maintained

Sendmail is used to send emails and have two different methods to build and send the email. The old method combines different functions like sendmail.begin_mail, sendmail.write_text and sendmail.end_mail. These functions will not be maintained, but kept for backward compability. The preferred method is sendmail.mail (with different signatures) and it will be the method that will be maintained in the future. It already have improved functionality like logging and better support for different character sets.

3.18. Release 6.3

Oracle OC4J is no longer supported.

3.19. Release 6.2

There is no known changed and deprecated functionality for this release.

3.20. Release 6.1

Key items for this release

  • The embedded TinyMCE editor has been upgraded to release 3.5.2. Certain layout default has changed in this release of the editor. If you use custom TinyMCE profiles, you may want to verify that these still behave as expected.

  • Ext JS has been migrated from Ext3 to Ext4.

3.21. Release 6.0

These are the key items for this release:

  • All tooltip functions have been converted to use the new tooltip library "ClueTip". We operated with three different tooltip functions in former versions. They will all be converted to display title and description with cluetip from iKnowBase 6.0. The new library is much more flexible and can also use the content of a page as tooltip.

  • The old Document Archive, delivered as a part of the Content Studio application, has been replaced with a new, modern rich web application.

  • The tinyMCE 2.x plug-ins for the iKnowBase image and link pick lists are deprecated. If access to the pick lists are needed, existing tinyMCE 2.x profiles must be upgraded to the latest tinyMCE version.

  • New signature for tooltip functions.

The signature for tooltip functions has changed. In order to achieve maximum performance, the document title will be sent to the custom written function as a parameter. The new API signature is shown below.

FUNCTION <tooltip_function_name>
(
    p_document_id       IN NUMBER,
    p_page_url          IN VARCHAR2,
    p_back_url          IN VARCHAR2,
    p_reference_path    IN VARCHAR2,
    p_language_id       IN VARCHAR2,
    p_version_no        IN NUMBER,
    p_title             IN VARCHAR2
 ) RETURN VARCHAR2;

4. Upgrading from earlier releases

This chapter lists areas where you will need to change your application or infrastructure to support the same functionality as before, or to start using new functionality.

Read this chapter to find out which areas of your solution that may need rework, or where rework will provide better solutions. Start with the chapter describing the iKnowBase release you are upgrading from, and work your way through all the chapters regarding newer releases.

Remember that the installation guide is upgraded for every version. Please read the installation guide before starting your upgrade process.

4.1. Upgrade from iKnowBase 8.2

4.1.1. Discontinued config properties

'has_oracle_ordsys' can be removed from IKB_INSTALLATION_PROPERTIES if present.

4.2. Upgrade from iKnowBase 8.1

4.2.1. New ACL on exports

Import the ACL from Masterdata or create one with external key IKB_SYSADM_ACCESS.

4.2.2. Configuration changes

Changes for Spring Boot 2.5 and 2.6 and all their dependencies applies, and are documented at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.5.0-Configuration-Changelog and https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.6.0-Configuration-Changelog

4.2.3. iKnowBase Plugin Development changes

This release has major library and JDK upgrades that will require some adjustments in your iKnowBase plugins.

As always, merge the contents from the updated plugin starter project with your plugin project and recompile and redeploy all plugins.

Spring changes

Changes for Spring Boot 2.5 and 2.6 and all their dependencies applies, and are documented at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.5-Release-Notes and https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.6-Release-Notes . Few of these apply to plugins, but you might have to consider these:

4.3. Upgrade from iKnowBase 8.0

4.3.1. JDK 11

JDK 11 is now the minimum required version to run iKnowBase. Update using any of the OpenJDK 11 distributions.

Important
 Oracle’s JDK distribution is NOT free. Choose between the free OpenJDK 11 distributions or commercial supported JDK 11 (LTS) distributions.
Updated Locale Data to Unicode CLDR

With the JDK upgrade the locale data will now by default rely on CLDR - Unicode Common Locale Data Repository. Depending on usage and configuration in the customer specific solution this may affect:

  • Locale-specific patterns for formatting and parsing: dates, times, timezones, numbers and currency values, measurement units,…

  • Translations of names: languages, scripts, countries and regions, currencies, eras, months, weekdays, day periods, time zones, cities, and time units, emoji characters and sequences (and search keywords),…

  • Language & script information: characters used; plural cases; gender of lists; capitalization; rules for sorting & searching; writing direction; transliteration rules; rules for spelling out numbers; rules for segmenting text into graphemes, words, and sentences; keyboard layouts…

  • Country information: language usage, currency information, calendar preference, week conventions,…

  • Validity: Definitions, aliases, and validity information for Unicode locales, languages, scripts, regions, and extensions,…

The default setting for locale providers is java.locale.providers=CLDR,COMPAT,SPI. To rely on the previous default used in JDK8 and earlier, you may set the system property to java.locale.providers=COMPAT,CLDR,SPI.

UTF-8 Properties Files

With JDK 9+ the default encoding when loading property files have changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8, see UTF-8 Properties Files.

Most property files will not be affected, however if there is an issue, consider the following options:

  • Convert the properties file into UTF-8 encoding. (Recommended)

  • Specify the runtime system property for the properties file’s encoding, as in this example: java.util.PropertyResourceBundle.encoding=ISO-8859-1

Some plugins have used a specific UTF8Handler when loading resource bundles. This can now be removed.

4.3.2. Configuration changes

Changes for Spring Boot 2.3 and 2.4 and all their dependencies applies, and are documented at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.3.0-Configuration-Changelog and https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.4.0-Configuration-Changelog

Note
 Especially note these common properties in application.properties for iKnowBase:

  • server.use-forward-headers=true has changed to server.forward-headers-strategy and most often the value native.

  • The property for setting log directory has changed from logging.path to logging.file.path.

4.3.3. Spring HATEOAS breaking changes

Run https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-hateoas/blob/master/etc/migrate-to-1.0.sh

4.3.4. Instant HTTP API moved

The Instant HTTP API (/ikb$service) has been moved.

From To

/ikbInstant/ikb$service

/ikb$instant/service

/ikbInstant/private/ikb$service

/ikb$instant/private/service
Note
 The main asynchronous endpoint is unchanged and present at /ikbInstant.

4.3.5. Default JDBC socket read timeout

The default JDBC socket read timeout has been changed from no value (never time out) to 10 minutes. If you have long running queries that exceeds this timeout, set spring.datasource.hikari.dataSourceProperties.oracle.jdbc.ReadTimeout.

4.3.6. iKnowBase Plugin Development changes

This release has major library and JDK upgrades that will require some adjustments in your iKnowBase plugins.

As always, merge the contents from the updated plugin starter project with your plugin project.

Dependencies

Review the project’s explicit dependencies vs what’s included with iKnowBase.

Selected modules previously included in the JDK has been removed from the JDK itself. iKnowBase provides dependencies for

  • JavaBeans Activation Framework

  • Java Transaction API

  • JAXB

  • Commons Annotation

iKnowBase does not provide dependency for:

  • JAX-WS (SOAP XML Web Services)

  • CORBA

If you rely on any of the removed dependencies in your plugins you’ll need to add an explicit dependency.

Spring changes

Changes for Spring Boot 2.3 and 2.4 and all their dependencies applies, and are documented at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.3-Release-Notes and https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.4-Release-Notes . Few of these apply to plugins, but note the change for @ActiveProfiles where you can no longer supply a comma-separated string of multiple profiles, they must be an array.

4.3.7. Datasource monitoring using Java Simon removed

Support for com.iknowbase.datasource.simonWrapper=true has been removed. Use normal metrics support for the datasource.

4.3.8. Oracle 19c: Oracle Multimedia is removed

iKnowBase 8.1 supports the Oracle 19c database, where Oracle Multimedia is no longer available. If the database is upgraded to 19c, any transformations using Oracle Multimedia will not work and must be replaced. The transformations are listed at /ikb$console/development/advanced/transformation. All transformations must be inspected, and any transformation instruction prefixed with ordimg: must be changed. See Content Transformation Service in the Development Guide for alternatives.

4.3.9. Java plugins: JDBC from ContentServicesClient is now initialized as current user

ContentServicesClient.getJdbcOperations() should according to its documentation return a connection initialized as the current user. It did not, but now it does. For plugins, this means:

  • It will potentially run as a different user.

  • The initialization might cause it to run a bit slower, which is unnecessary if initialization is not really needed.

  • It becomes important to close the manually created ContentServicesClient (it always is if running a query, but was not important if the client was just used to fetch the JDBC object).

Validate any use, and if needed, change to ContentServicesEngine.getJdbcOperations(), which is a non-initialized JDBC.

4.3.10. Switch user no longer support GET requests

HTTP requests to invoke the Switch user functionality can no longer use GET requests, it must be POST.

4.4. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.7.x

4.4.1. Review form definitions

Form definitions are now more strictly validated. Form definitions should be reviewed. When upgrading consult with iKnowBase Product Development and see report at /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/inconsistency.

4.4.2. Add new details ACL for iKnowBase Content Studio

iKnowBase content Studio has a new document details view that displays all attributes for the selected document. This new view requires ACL with externalKey CS_DETAILS_ACCESS.

Add the ACL manually or merge the included transport set for iKnowBase etc/EXP-IKB_MASTER_<release>-B46F6A1ED4ABECCFE040000A180057BE-iKnowBase_Data.dmp.

If you add manually, the included Access Control List is defined as:

Table 1. CS_DETAILS_ACCESS
Key Value

Label (n)

Tilgangsgruppe for Content Studio superbrukere

Description (n)

Tilgangsgruppe for Content Studio superbrukere som skal se alle attributter på dokumentene. Kun administratorer og superbrukere må legges til.

Label (us)

Access group for Content Studio super users

Description (us)

Access group for Content Studio super users that should see all attributes when viewing their documents. This should only be administrators and superusers.

External key

CS_DETAILS_ACCESS

Visible

No

Grants

Group "IKB_ADMINISTRATORS" with privilege "Read".

If you merge the included transport set:

  1. If you plan to continue using the Classic image form (id=81) after upgrade (default is now a Java based image form):

    1. Before import of transport set: Make a copy of the image form (id=81)

    2. After import of transport set: Convert the image form to an iKnowBase classic form (click on the button in the form edit panel in Development Studio) and reapply custom changes

  2. If you have customized the quicklink "CS Publish links" used in Content Studio pages and picklists:

    1. Before import of transport set: Backup the quicklink "CS Publish links"

    2. After import of transport set: Reapply any custom changes to the quicklink "CS Publish links".

  3. Import transport set

    1. Upload the file "etc/EXP-IKB_MASTER_<release>-B46F6A1ED4ABECCFE040000A180057BE-iKnowBase_Data.dmp" (ikb$console → Development → Advanced → Import → Upload a new file).

    2. Make no changes to the settings and run a pre-check.

    3. Verify the result, and if ok, go back to the edit tab and continue with the "Merge to iKnowBase" action.

4.4.3. Migrate identity federation settings for "social authentication"

Generic support for OAuth2 (and OpenID Connect) identity federation enables sign in support for a wide range of external identity providers. We now rely upon Spring Security’s support for OAuth2.

  1. If you’ve previously enabled "social authentication", you’ll need to change the following configuration settings:

    From To

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.PROVIDERID.clientId

    spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.PROVIDERID.clientId

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.PROVIDERID.clientSecret

    spring.security.oauth2.client.registration.PROVIDERID.clientSecret

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.PROVIDERID.enabled

    DELETE

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.enabled

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.oauth2.enabled

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.encryptionPassword

    DELETE

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.encryptionSalt

    DELETE

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.social.socialSignupURL

    com.iknowbase.spring.security.form.signupURL

    (Where PROVIDERID is 'google', 'facebook', etc.)

  2. Change the allowed redirect URIs in the application registration you have with the external identity provider (represented by the …​.clientId):

    From

    To

    /ikb$auth/PROVIDERID

    /ikb$auth/oauth2/code/PROVIDERID

  3. If you use a custom login page, change the form action:

    From

    To

    /ikb$auth/PROVIDERID/authenticate

    /ikb$auth/oauth2/authorization/PROVIDERID?action=ikb$auth
Upgrade Gradle configuration

Major upgrade of Gradle to 5.x require some changes.

  1. Replace dependency configuration compile with api or implementation.

    1. Use api if you want the dependencies to be transitive. This corresponds to the previous compile configuration.

    2. Use implementation if you don’t want the dependencies to be transitive.

Upgrade source

Major upgrade of java libraries, with the most notable being:

Library

From

To

Spring Boot

1.5.x

2.1.x

Spring Framework

4.3.x

5.1.x

Spring Security

4.2.x

5.1.x

Spring Data REST

2.6.x

3.1.x

The upgrade requires that you review, update and rebuild your plugins.

  1. Review changelogs and migration guides for Spring Boot:

    1. Spring Boot 2.0 Migration Guide

    2. Spring Boot 2.1 Release Notes.

  2. Spring Data REST for iKnowBase

    The Spring Data REST upgrade brings new method signatures to the custom iKnowBase repository implementation. Update to match the new signatures and resolve compile error and deprecation warnings.

    Table 2. *RepositoryImpl

    From

    To

    public <S extends T> Iterable<S> save(Iterable<S> entities)

    public <S extends T> Iterable<S> saveAll(Iterable<S> entities)

    public T findOne(ID id)

    public Optional<T> findById(ID id)

    public boolean exists(ID id)

    public boolean existsById(ID id)

    public Iterable<T> findAll(Iterable<ID> ids)

    public Iterable<T> findAllById(Iterable<ID> ids)

    public void delete(ID id)

    public void deleteById(ID id)

    public void delete(Iterable<? extends T> entities)

    public void deleteAll(Iterable<? extends T> entities)
    Table 3. Other notable changes

    From

    To

    public PageRequest(int page, int size, Sort sort)

    public static PageRequest of(int page, int size, Sort sort)

    In addition, the ID is no longer required to extend java.io.Serializable.

  3. Spring REST Docs are more strict and you may be required to update your tests.

  4. BootEmbeddedTestSetup for full integration testing is now available from iKnowBase and you may replace your local BootEmbeddedTestSetup (may be named differently) in favor of the provided one.

4.4.4. Review duplicate mappings in user repository

New unique constraints on IKB_USER.DOCUMENT_GUID and IKB_USER.DIMENSION_GUID are now added during upgradeAll to resolve user synchronization issues where two accounts could map to the same person card/dimension.

The unique constraint on IKB_USER.DN has been removed, since the often stored value (leftmost RDN or CN) in this field is not required to be unique.

Review upgrade log and Repository Check report at /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/inconsistency#/ and make sure all expected constraints are present.

4.4.5. LDAP sync will no longer fall back to DN lookup

The fallback to IKB_USER.DN lookup if the user was not found by username during sync has been removed (#885). If you rely on this particular behaviour (for example support for changing username) then you’ll need to move this logic into the pre/post-procedures.

4.5. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.6.x

4.5.1. Password algorithm in iKnowBase user repository has changed

Passwords stored in iKnowBase user repository will now by default use BCrypt. It still supports the old hashing algorithm and can verify both old and new style passwords, but it will change to BCrypt whenever the password is used during authentication or set using either the admin console, the setup application or the user activation page through activation token.

If you rely on integrations that use ikb_authentication package directly to verify password, you should consider migrating this functionality to java based BCrypt. If not, you may still continue using the old hashing algorith by setting the configuration property com.iknowbase.spring.security.ikbauth.passwordHandler=LEGACY.

You may disable automatic password migration on authentication by setting the configuration property com.iknowbase.spring.security.ikbauth.legacyPasswordMigrationOnAuthenticationEnabled=false.

4.5.2. Spring Security firewall settings

Spring Security’s firewall settings are now more strict by default to better protect against frequent sources of security exploits.

If these new security rules block a request, they will normally log The request was rejected because the URL contained a potentially malicious String…​... These types of requests should normally be avoided. Contact iKnowBase Product Development Team if you need to allow one or more of these common sources of security exploits.

4.6. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.5.x

4.6.1. Changes to ikb_global_prefs-package

The mechanism for customizing the ikb_global_prefs database package has changed. No manual steps are required during upgrade, however please note the new mechanisms for changing these settings:

From iKnowBase 7.6, the createGlobalPrefs (also executed via configureUser) command will load custom values from the ikb_installation_properties table using instance_qualifier 'ikb_global_prefs', and use these when generating the package. The new mechanism also allows for adding custom properties, if desired.

To preserve your existing configuration, iKnowBase will automatically during the upgrade process add any non-default options you already have set in IKB_GLOBAL_PREFS to the ikb_installation_properties table.

4.6.2. URL encoding changes

URL encoding in iKnowBase has been updated to improve security and provide a more standardized experience. While most changes pose no risk to existing applications, the removal of iKnowBase’s custom back url encoding in iKnowBase Classic might require updates in customer specific code.

Example:

  • Start on page: /example?p1=v1&p2=v2

  • Access a form from the current page (note the URL param p_form_back_url)

    • Old form URL: /form?p_style_id=123456&p_form_back_url=/example?p1=v1^p2=v2

    • New form URL: /form?p_style_id=123456&p_form_back_url=%2Fexample%3Fp1%3Dv1%26p2%3Dv2

  • Look for custom code specifically handling URL params delimited with ^.

4.6.3. WebDAV edit links in Content Studio

WebDAV edit links will by default only be available if the instance has WebDAV enabled. If you have deployed the WebDAV service to a different instance, you may explicitly enable the WebDAV links by setting configuration property com.iknowbase.plugin.ikbcontentstudio.enableWebDavEditActions=true.

Forms

To simplify handling List attributes, iKnowBase would previously ensure that all form bean properties of type java.util.List would be initialized to an empty list and never be null. This behaviour should have been limited to managed properties annotated with @AttributeMapping

From iKnowBase 7.6 backing form bean properties of type java.util.List without @AttributeMapping will no longer be initialized to an empty List. Check your existing form beans and ensure you don’t rely on iKnowBase to initialize these properties.

4.7. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.4.x

4.7.1. Resource configuration

The default configured embedded static resource handlers for /ressurs/** and /plugin-resources/** using configuration property com.iknowbase.server.resource.embedded.handlers[index].\* have been grouped into a single handler for /** and serves resources from these locations:

  • classpath:/META-INF/resources/

  • classpath:/resources/

  • classpath:/static/

  • classpath:/public/

If you’ve changed configuration for a specific embedded resource handler you need to

  1. See if the new configuration meets your needs, or

  2. Change settings, such as caching, for com.iknowbase.server.resource.embedded.handlers[0], or

  3. Define a custom resource handler, which takes precedence over the embedded resource handler.

Spring Boot upgraded from 1.4.x to 1.5.x

iKnowBase has been upgraded from Spring Boot 1.4.4 to 1.5.3 and the Spring Boot wiki (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-1.5-Release-Notes) describes relevant changes.

In particular if you use @ConfigurationProperties validation for your plugins, this change applies:

If you have @ConfigurationProperties classes that use JSR-303 constraint annotations, you should now additionally annotate them with @Validated. Existing validation will currently continue to work, however, a warning will be logged. In the future, classes without @Validated will not be validated at all.

4.8. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.3.x

4.8.1. Application configuration

Log configuration

If you rely on custom log configuration files (in Log4j v1.x format) you must upgrade these configuration files to Log4j 2.x format.

Note that log file names have changed from log4j-<profile>.properties to log4j2-<profile>.properties. See application.properties.SAMPLE for updated names.

Datasource configuration

Some properties have changed namespace due to upgrade of Spring Boot platform:

From

To

spring.datasource.<tuning options>

spring.datasource.hikari.<tuning options>

multipart.<all>

spring.http.multipart.<all>

See updated application.properties.SAMPLE.

Web Services configuration

Custom configuration option for the Web Services path (/ws) has changed from com.iknowbase.ws.endpointRoot to Spring Boot’s default spring.webservices.path.

WebDAV configuration

If you use custom WebDAV file server in iKnowBase, you must update the new configuration option com.iknowbase.webdav.pathExpr to match the paths the WebDAV server should intercept. By default it will only intercept iKnowBase WebDAV Content server at /ikb$content.

4.8.2. Enable new REST API for user repository

A new plugin iknowbase-rest-userrepository is available in the distribution. Deploy it as a standard plugin.

The new REST service requires an Access Control List with external key REST_REPOSITORY_ACCESS to be present.

ACL privileges:

  • READ privilege for list, read and query

  • MODIFY privilege for create and update

  • DELETE privilege for delete

You may change the ACL used by configuring com.iknowbase.rest.*

  • com.iknowbase.rest.custom.aclApiAcl for Acl repository

  • com.iknowbase.rest.custom.aclMemberApiAcl for AclMember repository

  • com.iknowbase.rest.custom.groupApiAcl for Group repository

  • com.iknowbase.rest.custom.userApiAcl for User repository

See detailed documentation available at /ressurs/iknowbase/doc/html/rest/ikb/index.html once the plugin has been deployed.

4.8.3. iKnowBase Plugin Development changes

Spring Boot upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.4.4

iKnowBase has been upgraded from Spring Boot 1.3.8 to 1.4.4 and the Spring Boot wiki (https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-1.4-Release-Notes) describes relevant changes.

In particular iKnowBase will now provide these additional test dependencies.

  • com.jayway.jsonpath:json-path

  • com.jayway.jsonpath:json-path-assert

  • org.assertj:assertj-core

  • org.skyscreamer:jsonassert

If you’ve included these in your iKnowBase Java SDK plugins, make sure you remove these explicit dependencies to avoid possible library collisions.

4.9. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.2.x

4.9.1. WebDAV API - Lock Manager Events

WebDAV Lock Manager Events have been moved from non-API to official iKnowBase API area. If you have consumed these events in iKnowBase Plugins on earlier versions you need to update package locations for these events.

4.9.2. iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic

iKnowBase Authentication Plugin for Oracle WebLogic is no longer supported. Use WebLogic’s own ReadOnlySQLAuthenticator Authentication Provider if you require "container" authentication. See Installation Guide for configuration details.

4.9.3. Deploy and upgrade iKnowBase Content Studio

Consider if your site needs iKnowBase Content Studio. Note that iKnowBase Content Studio includes the document and image picklists which are used for publication. If you don’t need iKnowBase Content Studio, you can skip this step.

iKnowBase Content Studio ships as an external plugin which must be deployed. To deploy iKnowBase Content Studio, follow the instructions in the Installation Guide.

To upgrade iKnowBase Content Studio, please do as follows:

  1. If you plan to continue using the Classic image form (id=81) after upgrade (default is now a Java based image form):

    1. Before import of transport set: Make a copy of the image form (id=81)

    2. After import of transport set: Convert the image form to an iKnowBase classic form (click on the button in the form edit panel in Development Studio) and reapply custom changes

  2. If you have customized the quicklink "CS Publish links" used in Content Studio pages and picklists:

    1. Before import of transport set: Backup the quicklink "CS Publish links"

    2. After import of transport set: Reapply any custom changes to the quicklink "CS Publish links".

  3. Import transport set

    1. Upload the file "etc/EXP-IKB_MASTER_<release>-B46F6A1ED4ABECCFE040000A180057BE-iKnowBase_Data.dmp" (ikb$console → Development → Advanced → Import → Upload a new file).

    2. Make no changes to the settings and run a pre-check.

    3. Verify the result, and if ok, go back to the edit tab and continue with the "Merge to iKnowBase" action.

4.9.4. iKnowBase Plugin Development changes

war plugins are no longer supported and all plugins must now use the regular jar setup. The jar projects have been enhanced with

  • support for copying your additional libraries to build output directory

  • support for generating a distribution zip file with your plugin code as .jar as well ass all additional dependencies.

As always, merge the contents from the updated plugin starter project with your plugin project.

See Development Guide > iKnowBase Development Toolkit for details.

4.10. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.1.x

4.10.1. iKnowBase application configuration

The iKnowBase application is now based on Spring Boot. This change brings MAJOR changes and enhancements to configuration of the embedded iKnowBase Web Server.

Your existing configuration contained in the properties file (e.g. production.properties or iknowbase.properties) MUST be migrated to the new configuration format.

  1. Copy the provided <distribution>/etc/application.properties.SAMPLE as application.properties. Please note that application.properties is by default the required name of this file.

  2. Migrate your settings from the old format to the new format.

While the new configuration format should be quite self-explanatory, you should note that:

  • The System. prefix was previously used to set a System property, which was used to configure the iKnowBase application. This prefix is no longer in use and you may migrate your settings from System.foo.bar.baz to just foo.bar.baz.

  • Embedded (Jetty) web server: While Spring Boot covers most settings under server.*, iKnowBase provides extra options under com.iknowbase.server.\*.

  • The static resources application iknowbase-resources is now part of the main application available at /ressurs.

  • Custom static resources directories must now be specified using com.iknowbase.server.resource.custom.handlers[<index>].

Advanced: The configuration options that are available and how they can be set are now based on Spring Boot. Please see boot-features-external-config and common-application-properties for for more details.

4.10.2. iKnowBase application commands

With the move to Spring Boot, we no longer support specifying the properties file as the first parameter to iknowbase.sh/IKNOWBASE.BAT. The property file application.properties is the default and recommended name.

Example:

  • OLD: ./iknowbase.sh production.properties upgradeAll

  • NEW: ./iknowbase.sh upgradeAll

4.10.3. iKnowBase application logging

iKnowBase will now by default rotate logfiles on a daily basis. The application logs will log to iknowbase.log and change to iknowbase.YYYY_MM_DD.log after log rotation.

You may still provide your own log4j configuration file or even run without any (just standard out logging).

iKnowBase Web Server only:

The access logs will log directly to to iknowbase.request.YYYY_MM_DD.log. Access logging will now log using NCSA format and supports various configurable options.

4.10.4. Static resources: Location and configuration

The static resources application iknowbase-resources is now part of the main application available at /ressurs.

See application.properties.SAMPLE for configuration options for the embedded resources as well as any custom resource areas you want to serve using the iKnowBase application.

Note for custom context root deployments only

The resource path is now relative to the context root for the main application. If you deploy to a custom context root, like '/example', the static resource area will follow to '/example/ressurs' etc.

You must also ensure that the infrastructure (reverse proxy) maps the default paths to the context root paths.

  • '/ressurs' to '/example/ressurs'

  • '/plugin-resources' to '/example/plugin-resources'

4.10.5. Static resources: Cache headers

iKnowBase will now send cache headers for static resources (default areas: /ressurs and /plugin-resources).

Review any existing settings for caching of static resources. If you’ve already configured an intermediate server such as Apache httpd with cache headers, consider removing these settings and adjust the iKnowBase configuration instead.

See Development Guide > Performance and application.properties.SAMPLE for more details.

4.10.6. Static resources: Versioned resource resolution

iKnowBase supports versioned address based on content for static resources. These resources will by default be served with long cache max-age for browser and any intermediate cache capable servers since any change to these resources will generate a new address for the changed resources.

To take full advantage of this new capability, you’ll need to update your presentationt templates. See Development Guide > Performance and application.properties.SAMPLE for details.

4.10.7. Static resources: In-memory caching

All static resources, such as the embedded resources available at /ressurs and /plugin-resources, are cached in-memory (non replicated) in the iKnowBase application for performance reasons.

This means that any change to these resources, or any other custom resource locations you define, require that you clear the cache (name prefix "serverResourceCache") either by using ikb$console or by restarting the application.

If you prefer to be able to change the custom resources without clearing the cache you may

  • set the custom handler group’s defaultCacheResourceResolutionEnabled to false to change the group’s default setting, or

  • set the specific resource handler’s cacheResourceResolution to false and disable the in-memory cache for that particular handler.

Please note that disabling in-memory cache reduces performance to about 1/3 compared to in-memory cached resources (still quite fast, but not THAT fast).

See application.properties.SAMPLE for details.

4.10.8. Compression

Compression og text content is highly recommended to reduce bandwidth usage and transfer time from server to client.

The iKnowBase WebServer will by default compress all text content (html, text, css, js, xml) if the client signals that it supports compression using @Accept-Encoding@ header. All modern browsers will send this header by default.

If you’ve already configured compression in an intermediate server, such as Apache httpd, you may consider disabling the compression support in Apache (or at least one of them) to keep the infrastructure configuration and functionality clean.

See application.properties.SAMPLE for configuration options.

4.10.9. HTTP Sessions

Default session handling is now using database persisted sessions and the sessions are fully managed by the application (not the application server).

The change also means that session cleanup due to session inactivity (timeout) is a global cleanup. If you have more than one iKnowBase application running against the same database repository, the timeout should be set to the same value for all. If you require separate session timeout settings for different sites, discuss the requirement, configuration possibilities and consequences with the iKnowBase Product Development team.

While the new database persisted sessions is the recommended approach, it is still possible to use in-memory or the server’s native in memory session handling, see installation guide and application.properties.SAMPLE for details.

HTTP Session Attributes

The new default handling of data stored as session attribute requires that if you modify an existing session attribute, you must call session.setAttribute(key, value) to persist the updated object. Review all code calling session.getAttribute or getSessionAttribute and make sure modifications are persisted. setAttribute on session will mark the attribute as changed.

Background: Session attribute handling in earlier versions of iKnowBase had the same requirement to be able to replicate session attributes (replication was available for WebLogic and GlassFish), but you would be able to modify objects without an explicit setAttribute, however the attribute would not have been replicated. iKnowBase Web Server did not support session replication earlier, but you would be able to store a modified attribute without explicit calling setAttribute.

4.10.10. Content Transformation Service

The new Content Transformation service leverages preexisting support from existing Image Editor, File Converter, Oracle Multimedia and Oracle Text.

Image Editor, Oracle Multimedia and Oracle Text are by default enabled without any configuration requirements.

FileConverter

FileConverter was previously only executed by the Batch Server, but can now be triggered via both Content Server (Viewer) and Transformation Server (Batch).

If you’ve previously installed FileConverter and you want to use FileConverter via Content Server (HTTP to /Content or /private/content) you must make sure that FileConverter is installed on all servers running the Content Server or the service will not be available.

If you only use FileConverter through the PLSQL API you don’t need to change anything.

With the exception of com.iknowbase.batch.fileConverter.outsideInDirectory, all com.iknowbase.batch.fileConverter configuration options have been removed. File Converter for Batch is now handled by the Transformation Server, which has similar AQ configuration options.

PLSQL API batch_fileconvert_client is still available for backwards compatibility. It uses the new PLSQL API ikb_transformation_service. You should consider changing to the new PLSQL API in custom code.

ImageEditor

All com.iknowbase.batch.imageEditor configuration options have been removed. File Converter for Batch is now handled by the Transformation Server, which has similar AQ configuration options.

PLSQL API batch_fileconvert_client is still available for backwards compatibility. It uses the new PLSQL API ikb_transformation_service. You should consider changing to the new PLSQL API in custom code.

4.10.11. Content Transformation Usage

By introducing the new content transformation service from iKnowBase 7.2, image variants will no longer be populated as attributes when an image is stored. Instead, image variants will be transformed on-the-fly and cached for later use. The upgrade script will automatically convert instances of /attr=<attribute value guid> to /transformation=<transformation type>. This applies to stored HTML-content (in DOCUMENT and DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE LOB-columns). The presentation style will also be migrated to use transformation instead of Image variant and the special functions View as PDF/HTML/TEXT.

Still, there might be traces of /attr= in on-site code that need to be fixed.

  • Check your custom PL/SQL for instances of /attr=. Check the page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/upgrade. The code is normally a select against document_attribute where the variant was stored.

  • Check your client code by searching ikb$console for instances of /attr=

  • Be aware that transformation functions in a presentation style always will create a transformation. If the variant was non-existing in prior releases, the original images was displayed.

In PL/SQL code, skip the join against document_attribute and use a transformation-clause instead. e.g. select '/Content/' || da.document_id || '/attr='|| da.object_guid || '/' || d.filename url from document d, document_attribute da …​. can be replaced with select '/Content/' || d.document_id || '/transformation='|| <name of the transformation> || '/' || d.filename url from document d…​.

4.10.12. LOBS stored as SECUREFILE

SecureFiles was first introduced in Oracle Database 11g. Write performance using SecureFiles is enhanced by a new cache that buffers writes before writing to disk. Advanced features such as compression and deduplication reduce disk I/Os further at the cost of a slight CPU overhead. Intelligent pre-fetching especially during streaming reads offer better performance during reads. SecureFiles uses an advanced space management routine that is optimized for large, contiguous I/Os. In addition, there are several innovations with the wire protocol, locking algorithms etc. that make SecureFiles far more scalable than LOBs or file systems. iKnowBase 7.2 is the first release with SECUREFILE as its default LOB storage mechanism.

  • All LOB objects in a new installation will always use SECUREFILE.

  • Custom LOB objects created on-site should be created with a SECUREFILE instruction. It can either be done by a database initializion parameter (ALTER SYSTEM SET db_securefile = 'ALWAYS') or in the create-statement (create table …​ (lob_col BLOB) LOB (ERR_MSG) STORE AS SECUREFILE).

  • Upgrade from prior releases require some manual steps to move DOCUMENT LOB data from BASICFILE to SECUREFILE.

    • Make sure you have sufficient disk space (as least as the total size of the tables DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE, VERSIONED_DOCUMENT and VERSIONED_DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE).

      • Check the page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/upgrade. It can report disk usage for these tables.

    • Make sure to back up the tables DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE, VERSIONED_DOCUMENT and VERSIONED_DOCUMENT_ATTRIBUTE.

    • If running Oracle Enterprise Edition, do the following operations:

      • Grant permissions: ./iknowbase.sh dbscriptAsSys common/securefile_grant.sql <logfile>

      • Create interim tables: ./iknowbase.sh dbscript common/securefile_tables.sql <logfile>

      • Move from BASICFILE to SECUREFILE: ./iknowbase.sh dbscript common/securefile_ee.sql <logfile>

      • Verify the error log before you continue. Either check the ikb$console page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/sql_script or run the query select instance, timestamp, to_char(err_msg) from ikb_error_tab where instance like 'redef_securefile_%' order by error_id. If all columns are already converted to securefile, there is no need to recreate the Oracle Text index.

      • Create the Oracle Text index: Log off the session, log on again with iKnowBase schema owner and execute begin ikb_adm_ctx.create_index; ikb_adm_ctx.start_indexing; end;.

      • Revoke the permissions : ./iknowbase.sh dbscriptAsSys common/securefile_revoke.sql <logfile>

    • If running Oracle Standard Edition, do the following operations:

      • Move from BASICFILE to SECUREFILE: ./iknowbase.sh dbscript common/securefile_se.sql <logfile>

      • Verify the error log before you continue. Either check the ikb$console page /ikb$console/development/database/report_iknowbase/sql_script or run the query select instance, timestamp, to_char(err_msg) from ikb_error_tab where instance like 'redef_securefile_%' order by error_id. If all columns already is converted to securefile, there is no need to recreate the Oracle Text index.

      • Create the Oracle Text index: Log off the session, log on again with iKnowBase schema owner and execute begin ikb_adm_ctx.create_index; ikb_adm_ctx.start_indexing; end;.

4.10.13. Removed end point

The unofficial endpoint /cs/<externalkey>/valuelist.json is no longer supported. Verify that this end point is not in use on your site by performing a search in Development Studio.

4.10.14. Development Toolkit for Java

The iKnowBase Development Toolkit for Java has been simplified and you may now choose between:

  • sample-starter-singleproject

  • sample-starter-multiproject

The single project setup is recommended if you want to share this plugin with other projects/teams/customers.

The multi project setup is recommended if you develop a set of plugins for a specific customer and you don’t intend to share these plugins.

Developers are strongly encouraged to re-read the updated iKnowBase Development Toolkit section in the Development Guide.

Upgrade steps:

  1. Update your gradle files to match the setup used in one the sample-starter projects.

    • gradle.properties (artifactory*-variables are no longer used and may be removed).

    • gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

    • build.gradle (Greatly simplified through use of new iKnowBase Gradle script plugins).

  2. Re-import / refresh your gradle project in IntelliJ.

  3. Update all src/main/resources/META-INF/spring.factories files.

    • OLD: com.iknowbase.api.server.SpringModule=Your.Spring.Module.

    • NEW: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=Your.Spring.Module.

  4. Update application configuration (filename and contents).

    • OLD: iknowbase.properties

    • NEW: application.properties (Copy application.properties.template from sample-starter-*)

  5. Update run configuration in IntelliJ.

    • OLD: com.iknowbase.jetty.util.QuickstartFactory ("Application" run configuration type)

    • NEW: com.iknowbase.BootEmbeddedApplication ("Spring Boot" run configuration type)

    • Profile: Use profile dev for local development. This will disable various optimizations that will reduce the need for restarts. With Spring Boot plugin to IntelliJ use the Active Profiles section. With standard Java application, use JVM property -Dspring.profiles.active=dev.

  6. Optional: Migrate and simplify your Spring managed beans from manual @Bean instantiation to @ComponentScan. See samples.

    • Review/Update: ALL controller methods that return a response that should be interpreted as http response body (String, JSON, ..) MUST declare this using @ResponseBody on the controller method. This is and has been the recommended way, but iKnowBase 7.1 and earlier would resolve this as JSON without @ResponseBody. From iKnowBase 7.2 you will get an error stating that the page(or view) could not be found.

Note that all "ikb*"-gradle tasks have been removed from the new setup as they are no longer required.

4.10.15. Updated minimum version of Oracle WebLogic

The minimum version of Oracle WebLogic is updated, see the chapter "Supported application servers".

4.10.16. Instant on Oracle WebLogic logs warnings (unresolved issue IKB-3343)

iKnowBase Instant will trigger warnings ´WELD-000714´ from org.jboss.weld.Servlet and WELD-000225 from org.jboss.weld.Context when the client closes the Instant connection, either explicitly by unsubscribing or when the web browser navigates away from a page with an active Instant connection.

iKnowBase Instant works despite these warnings and until the issue is resolved you should consider setting log level for these packages to ERROR to avoid spamming the logs.

4.11. Upgrade from iKnowBase 7.1.0

4.11.1. WebDAV

7.1.1 changes the WebDAV lock infrastructure from an in-memory to a database persisted solution. Default lock timeout is set to 1 hour (default Microsoft Office lock timeout) and the timeout is now also configurable (WebDAV configuration).

This change is done automatically and no additional upgrade steps are required if the default suits your needs.

With the lock infrastructure persisted to database, the WebDAV module may now be clustered.

4.12. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.7

4.12.1. Infrastructure requirements

From this release, iKnowBase requires Java 8u40 or newer to run. The embedded web server automatically supports this, but if you use WebLogic you will also need to upgrade to the currently supported version newer. GlassFish v3 does not support Java 8, so GlassFish v3 is no longer supported. The embedded web server supports all known workloads currently being served by iKnowBase on GlassFish v3.

iKnowBase web server

The iKnowBase web server is now based on a Jetty version, which uses updated HTTP specifications.

This upgrade removes support for HTTP/0.9. While this update should not affect end user clients, it might affect systems requesting information from iKnowBase over HTTP. The systems need to adjust to follow updated HTTP specs.

4.12.2. New name for the wrapper scripts

Previously, the iKnowBase setup program and quickstart web server was started using the QUICKSTART.BAT or quickstart.sh scripts. This has been renamed to IKNOWBASE.BAT or iknowbase.sh. All scripts that reference the old script will have to be modified.

4.12.3. Security configuration changes

The LDAP authentication configuration option 'userDnPattern' has been changed to 'userSearchBase'. Update your configuration accordingly.

Example:

Old option Old value New option New value

userDnPattern.1

CN={0},CN=Users

userSearchBase.1

CN=Users

userDnPattern.2

CN={0},CN=Premium Users

userSearchBase.2

CN=Premium Users

The LDAP search will, like before, search for users in the specified tree(s) and below.

4.12.4. Desupport of iKnowBase Add-in for Microsoft Office

During upgrade, any usage of the presentation style function "edit document" is changed to an "edit using webdav" function instead. A component that already had both functions will now have two copies of the webdav-function; you should then manually remove the extra function after upgrading.

4.12.5. Merge Solr search engine configurations

Previous versions allowed you to set up two different URLs for each search source, one for indexing and one for searching documents. This was almost never used, and all known installations use the same URL twice. It is now only possible to specify a single URL for both indexing and searching. If you need different configurations, create a separate search engine configuration for each.

4.12.6. Service API for Java

In the java-version of the Service API (the interface DocumentService), several methods have received new overloaded versions. If you ever called any of these functions with a literal null parameter, you will have to add a cast to your code:

  • setDocumentIdentity

  • setParentDocumentReference

  • setDocumentTypeReference

  • setAclReference

  • setStatusReference

// documentService.setAclReference (null);
documentService.setAclReference((ObjectReference)null);
// or
ObjectReference aclReference = null;
documentService.setAclReference(aclReference);

4.12.7. FreeMarker API

The formatted html value of a field, ie text and html properties, is escaped using Apache Commons, which escapes according to the HTML4 specification. In earlier versions of iKnowBase, a custom function which didn’t escape norwegian characters was used.

4.12.8. HTML portlet #PARAM substitutions are now limited to strict validation

#PARAM substitutions in HTML portlets are now limited to strict validation due to security issue IKB-3068. Numbers, date strings and simple system strings (typical used as external key) are allowed. All other input values will result in logged (WARN) validation error "Unable to substitute #PARAM-tags..".

If you rely on any other types of input to #PARAM tags, you need to rewrite this functionality.

4.12.9. Upgraded Solr client libraries

The embedded Solrj client libraries have been upgraded. With the version, there have been some API changes. The most relevant changes are listed below, but for full details you will need to check the Solr documentation.

  • SolrQuery deprecated methods have been removed:

    • setSortField(String, ORDER) should use setSort(…​)

    • addSortField(String, ORDER) should use addSort(…​)

    • removeSortField(String, ORDER) should use removeSort(…​)

    • getSortFields() should use getSorts()

4.12.10. iKnowBase Content Studio configuration

The iKnowBase Content Studio plugin requires a set of metadata with the external keys as given in the table below. Your site can be configured to use custom external keys, see iKnowBase Installation Guide > Content Studio Plugin. Ensure that your site is either set up with the default external keys or that you have added the necessary configuration.

4.12.11. iKnowBase Process Studio

iKnowBase Process Studio has been converted to an external iKnowBase plugin and is no longer installed by default. The plugin is provided alongside the iKnowBase distribution files. For installation details, see iKnowBase Documentation > Installation Guide > Java Applications > Installing plugins and patches.

4.12.12. Oracle JDBC driver (bug #19857183)

Due to a bug in the Oracle JDBC driver (bug #19857183), certain XML operations are only available when using the Oracle 12c database.

iKnowBase issue reference: IKB-2878

4.12.13. Repository changes and custom code

iKnowBase 7.0 has introduced a few changes that might have an impact on custom PL/SQL code.

Description Solution

IKB_PORTLET_PREFS.REFERENCE_PATH is replaced by ID

Queries against IKB_PORTLET_PREFS with reference_path in the statement has to use ID instead. e.g. "where reference_path = ", use "where id = "

DOCUMENT.CONTENT_TYPE doesn’t exists anymore

CONTENT_TYPE was used to identify if the content was text or binary. Use the column DOCUMENT.STORAGE_TYPE instead. The possible values are FILE, TEXT, URL, XML or NONE.

IKB_PCK_DOCUMENT.GET_FORMAT (p_filename) doesn’t exist anymore

The function returned ikb_format.content_type based on the extension. Use the column DOCUMENT.STORAGE_TYPE instead.

Deprecated Object types (IKBACLTYPE, IKBGENCODES + GENCODEVALUES)

The object types still exists, but we recommend to use OT_ACL/CT_ACLS, OT_VALUELIST/CT_VALUELISTS and OT_VALUELIST_VALUE/CT_VALUELIST_VALUES

IKB_SERVICE_API.SAVE_DOCUMENT.P_CONTENT_OPERATION

By default, P_CONTENT_OPERATION is set to MERGE if you don’t explicit set it. If you then update a document without any content (e.g. ot_document.binary_content/text_content/url/xml_data is null), it will clear the content fields. You have to set P_CONTENT_OPERATION to IKB_SERVICE_API.SAVE_OPERATION_NONE to avoid a clearing of the content data. To identify all places where the function is used, please run a query like this : Select * from all_source where upper(text) like '%IKB_SERVICE_API.SAVE_DOCUMENT%'.

New signatures for some functions in OID_SYNC

The functions Get_group_memberships, Get_group_membership and Getattributevalue now use an object type to tranfer sync profile data. oid_sync.ldap_instance_rec has been introduced and if you need to create an instance of it, use oid_sync.initialize (p_sync_id IN NUMBER, p_external_key IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL) RETURN oid_sync.ldap_instance_rec;

4.13. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.6

4.13.1. Application to modules

All web applications have been merged to one web application.

Review your current deployments and deploy the application with the required modules enabled. By default, the modules Batch, Studio and Viewer are enabled.

See installation guide for updated instructions and configuration.

4.13.2. WebServices

The application iknowbase-webservices-webapp has been removed, and the WebServices functionality has been incorporated into the single iknowbase-webapp. This means that there is (by default) no deployment at the endpoint /ikbWebServices anymore, and references to /ikbWebServices/ws will thus not work.

The web services endpoint root is from this release available as an installation property. The default value is /ws. You should change this to /ikbWebServices/ws for existing sites which already use the iKnowBase web services.

Note! On WebLogic Server the web services endpoint root must be changed to something different than /ws, e.g. /ikbWebServices/ws, as the /ws endpoint in iKnowBase is currently reserved for web socket communication when deployed on WebLogic.

4.13.3. Plugin Development

You need to create a new plugin development workspace and manually migrate your plugins to the new build structure. See updated plugin development documentation.

Update all Spring Controller plugins must

  • Replace @Controller with @RequestMapping annotation.

  • Add new @Configuration class as the Spring beans factory that will create your Controller.

  • Add new spring.factories file that points to the @Configuration class.

4.13.4. Instant

Javascript onError callback will now be called for all server errors. Previously this required custom error detection as not all server errors would result in onError callback.

If you require the old reconnect behavior, set atmosphere option reconnectOnServerError to true.

4.14. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.5

4.14.1. Migrate FreeForm and tabular presentation styles

This release offer a tool to convert from free form/tabular styles to freemarker templates. You can do it either one by one, or as a bulk operation to convert all styles. You do also have the option to rollback. The functions are available from iKnowBase Studio → Development tools → Presentation styles.

4.14.2. Authentication

Customers using iKnowBase Quickstart (now known as iKnowBase Web Server) need to review all authentication configuration, since all iKnowBase Web Server specific modules has been replaced by new authentication modules.

Customers using Oracle WebLogic may use the default container mode for username and password authentication. They may also change from container mode to the new set of authentication modules. Use of some of WebLogic authentication modules like SPNEGO and SAML2 require special deployment descriptor and role protection not included in the standard web archive to function properly. Contact support for assistance if you require use of these WebLogic authentication modules. Note that iKnowBase’s set of authentication modules includes both SPNEGO and SAML2.

4.14.3. Authorization

The roles IKB_USERS, IKB_DEVELOPERS and IKB_SYSADMINS are no longer in use. Groups that exist only to provide these roles may be removed.

Users that need developer / system administrator access must have the admin flag set in the iKnowBase User Repository. User synchronization may need to be adjusted if administrator access is controlled from an external repository.

4.14.4. Logout

If in use, change the logout target from /ikb$logout to /ikb$auth/logout and the redirect URL from path parameter to the new url parameter "redirect".

4.15. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.4

4.15.1. New signature for Custom Save procedures

Custom Save-procedures are used when the default behavior during a save process from a form needs customizations. Normally the starting point is the standard procedure ikb_ce_custom_editor_portlet.save_document when a new custom save procedure is created. The standard procedure signature has been expanded during the years and to enable new functionality in custom save procedures you need to change the signature and also some of the logic within the procedure. To identify mismatches between the standard procedure and a custom procedure, use the report "Custom Save (Form) compability" under ikbStudio→Database Admin→Reports. For backward compability it will work AS IS, but new functionality will not be enabled. The list describes the arguments and what functionality it enables:

Argument name Description

p_description

Replaces p_description_array (used by the LEAD-attribute in iKnowBase). From iKnowBase 6.5, large text areas can be posted as CLOBS. Enables support of arbitrary text-editors in Forms.

p_text_indexes

Replaces p_text_array (used by the CONTENT-attribute in iKnowBase). From iKnowBase 6.5, large text areas can be posted as CLOBS. Enables support of arbitrary text-editors in Forms.

p_attribute_clobs

Replaces p_long_text_arrays (used by the CLOB-attributes in iKnowBase). From iKnowBase 6.5, large text areas can be posted as CLOBS. Enables support of arbitrary text-editors in Forms.

p_session_id

Used to check if the session has changed since the form was loaded.

p_last_timestamp

Used to check if a document has been changed since the form was loaded.

Make sure to add the arguments to the call of the stored procedure ikb_ce_custom_editor_portlet.func_save_document too, e.g:

l_document_id := func_save_document (
    ...,
    p_description     => p_description,
    p_text_indexed    => p_text_indexed,
    p_attribute_clobs => p_attribute_clobs,
    p_last_timestamp  => p_last_timestamp,
    p_session_id      => p_session_id);

4.15.2. iKnowBase Quickstart sessions cookies

To avoid session collisions between iKnowBase Webapp deployed to / and any other applications also using sessions, the sessionid is given a unique name per web application.

  • Old: JSESSIONID

  • New. IKBSESSION using default session handling

    • JSESSIONID using native WebLogic sessions (not default)

    • IKBSESSIONSERVER using native iKnowBase Web Server sessions (not default)

4.15.3. iKnowBase Instant

Reconnect on close

In case the server is unavailable, sends an error or there is a network outage for the client, the iKnowBase Instant JS API will no longer reconnect forever to prevent browser locking and unnecessary server load. Five (5) attempts are made to reconnect before the connection is aborted with onError callback. The atmosphere option maxReconnectOnClose controls this behavior.

onOpen-callback

When using the default long-polling transport, the onOpen callback will now be triggered properly without the client needing to publish a message.

As described in the previous section, the onError callback will be triggered after 5 reconnect attempts (and onReconnect callbacks) are made.

JOIN-message

Javascript clients will no longer receive JOIN message for their own join. The user is still present in the USERS message sent after joining if the client subscribes to these messages.

Message format

The message format IKB used by the asynchronous javascript clients carried a data payload encoded as JSON string. This extra encoding has now been removed and clients need only parse the whole response message body.

In the onMessage callback, keep the JSON parsing of the response.responseBody to IKBResponseMessage object, but remove the extra JSON-parsing for IKBResponseMessage.data.

Configuration

The iKnowBase Instant installation properties configuration has been adjusted. Review the renamed configuration changes and update installation_properties accordingly.

Removed:

  • com.iknowbase.instant.suspendTimeoutLP: Default heartbeat functionality has been added.

Renamed:

  • disconnectCleanupInactivityThreshold:

  • cleanupDisconnectedConnectionsThreshold

disconnectCleanupInterval: cleanupTopicThreshold

Added:

  • broadcastDelayUserListUsers

  • broadcastDelayUserListJoin

  • broadcastDelayServerRequest

4.16. Upgrade from iKnowBase 6.3

4.16.1. Solr

Due to the improved Solr support, the syntax for referring to a solr search client from a groovy script has now changed:

// Old vs new
 // def client = iknowbase.beans.searchClient
 // def client = searchClients.<name>; e.g. for the intranetsearch
engine: def client = searchClients.intranet

The old syntax is typically used only a few places, and can easily be found using the search function in the Development Studio.

4.16.2. iKnowBase Application is deployed to / by default

The iKnowBase application has traditionally been deployed to /ikbViewer. The application has supported context root /, but this is now set as the default context root. See Installation Guide > iKnowBase Web Server

4.17. Upgrade from iKnowBase 5.8 or lower

If you are upgrading from iKnowBase 5.8 or lower, please contact the iKnowBase product team.
