  • Enabled context-menu in “Cleanup Variables” (only the “Paste” option is disabled)
  • Added extra logging to plugin “OnCondition”

V9.3.0

  • All variables must now always be encoded using {var:varname}. This includes all system variables like ‘<Filename>’, which should now be {var:Filename}. Older format variables will automatically be renamed to the new format!
  • Variable-groups are now displayed as different tabs in ‘Variables’. Note that the available groups are still managed from the ‘Configuration\Advanced\Lists’ section
  • Fixed problem in Hotfolder-trigger, related to ‘Single File Handling’, the trigger would not try to process the next file if the first file was not stable
  • The C# and VB.Net code related plugins now use the ‘Roslyn’ compiler to support higher levels of C# and VB.Net code

  • Added option ‘Inheritable’ to workflow-variables: if this option is enabled the value of the variable is passed on to, and inherited from any child workflow(s)
  • Updated plugin ‘SharePointUpload’: you can now save the document-ID to a variable and fixed a problem with ‘lookup’ type

  • Added indicator ‘D’ to the statusbar of the ‘Configuration Manager’ that shows if there are unsaved changes

V9.2.0

  • It’s now possible to configure “Workflow Variables” (in the properties of each workflow). These variables are only valid for the workflow in which they are defined and can’t be used (or exist) in other workflows
  • Added alias for plugin “JSON” called “JSON2DB” in category “Database”
  • Updated plugin “CSV2DB”: “Input file” can now also be a string
  • Updated function “ExtractStringFromFile” in plugin “SetVariable”: the file is now always processed line-by-line and all matches are appended to the result

V9.1.9

  • Fixed arrange-diagram buttons in the toolbar of the workflow-diagram

V9.1.7

  • Updated plugins “IMAPreceiveMail”, “POPreceiveMail” and trigger “MailOnServer” to support “Microsoft OAUTH2” authentication. The trigger and plugins can automatically request an access-token and store the access-token to a local “KeyStore”. The trigger and plugins can then use the access-token from the KeyStore to authenticate the connection. If the access-token has expired a new one will automatically be requested. Note that you will need to register an application in Azure with the correct permissions for this to work. See the help for more information on this.
  • Fixed problem in Hotfolder-trigger with deleting rejected files

V9.1.6

  • Added options to “StopDaemon” and “RestartDaemon” plugins to stop/restart “All” Daemons and to “Stop/Restart When Idle”
  • Added new “WellFormedXml” operator to plugins “DoWhile”, “IfThenElse”, “OnCondition” and trigger “OnCondition”. The operator will return “True” if the configured file is a well-formed xml, “False” if it is not a well-formed xml
  • Fixed problem with incorrect assembly-version in plugin “HttpClient”
  • Added options to “Configuration Manager” to map/unmap all enabled connections in the “Network Credentials” list
  • Experimental support for “Microsoft OAuth” authentication in “IMAPreceiveMail” plugin
  • Added option “Use First Seen Timestamp” option to “Hotfolder”-trigger. The “First Seen” timestamp is the date/time the Daemon first finds (“sees”) the file in the hotfolder. This timestamp is then used by the “Stable Timer” to determine if a file is stable. This can be used to only process files which have been “seen” in the hotfolder for at least the “Stable time” amount of seconds.
  • “Workflow Validation” now checks if a workflow that is run but another workflow is either “Enabled” or “Standby”. In all other cases the Validation will fail
  • Updated plugin “PDF_CreatePdfFromText” to better support empty lines and form-feeds
  • When new workflows are created the “Creation Date” will now be saved and shown as “Creation Date” in the “Description” of the workflow. If a workflow has no “Creation Date” (all workflows that were created before this update) the date of the first edit of the “Description” will be shown as “Date”
  • Added new plugin “ChangeEncoding” to “File”-category. This plugin can be used to change the encoding of a file
  • Fixed problem with “Landscape” setting in plugin “PDF_CreatePdfFromText”
  • Added new plugin to “Workflow”-group: “ResetWorkflowOverdue”. Running this plugin will reset the “WorkflowOverdue” value for all workflows
  • Updated plugin “rsReport” to include the following runtime information: “LastFinished” (date/time when the workflow last finished), “AverageRuntime” (average runtime in seconds), “LastOverdueTime” (the last ‘WorkflowOverdue’ value), “MaxOverdueTime” (the maximum that ‘WorkflowOverdue’ reached) “ProcessedItems” (the number of items/files that were processed)
  • Updated plugins “ADcreateUser”, “ADmodifyUser”, “ADcreateContact” & “ADmodifyContact”: you can now use “[clear]” in the “Value” of an ad-property to clear the property and the properties now also support empty strings to set the property to an empty string
  • Implemented “<WorkflowLastOverdueTime>” variable which contains the last Overdue-time (in seconds) of the current workflow
  • Added operator “WorkflowOverdueGreaterThan” operator to “OnCondition”-trigger and plugins “DoWhile”, “IfThenElse” and “OnCondition”
  • Updated “rsReport” plugin to include the “WorkflowLastOverdueTime” value for each workflow
  • Added option “Run at Startup” to workflow-properties. This option is only available when “Scan Interval” is an interval in seconds and when enabled, will make the workflow run immediately after startup of the daemon.
  • Completely re-coded the internal scheduler because of (potential) problems with the scheduling of workflows. This fixes the problem of workflows (not) running at (un)expected times
  • The system logging now always shows the exact time a workflow is scheduled to run and how many seconds a workflow was overdue (compared to when it was supposed to start) NOTE: because workflows run sequential and not parallel is can still happen that a workflow actually runs later then it was scheduled to run, because other workflows may not have finished execution yet!
  • When a workflow is using the calendar the logging now shows more info about at what time the workflow should run

V9.1.5

  • When the tracking/WEB database is not reachable this will no longer trigger the “ErrorAction” in workflows

  • Updated HotFolder-trigger: if both the “InputFilter” and “RejectFilter” are empty then no regular-expression-match will be applied to the filenames. This means only the “Pre-filter” (DOS wildcards) will be used which results in better performance, especially when processing directories that contain a large amount of files

V9.1.0

  • Added “Sunrise” and “Sunset” options to workflow “Interval” options. Note that this requires “Microsoft Windows Location Services” to be enabled and available to desktop apps!

These formats will be used whenever a date/time value (from a database-query for instance) is converted to a string. These formats will overrule the system date/time formats and can also be used by using the following built-in variables: <ShortDate>, <LongDate>, <ShortTime>, <LongTime> & <FullDateTime>
  • Fixed problem with (large) width of arrows and (selection)handles in the workflow-diagrams
