Administrators

As an administrator you can expect the following new features.

• FSCOWS@1.1001:SendHttpSoapMessage checks the server certificate also on Microsoft Windows correctly.
• Object locks
  • Expired object locks are now automatically removed from the COO service.
    • The locks are checked once per minute.
    • Locks expire after 480 seconds (COO_LOCK_TIMEOUT) by default.
    • The expiration of object locks can be disabled for normal locks with the COO_LOCK_AUTOEXPIRE option, but not for attribute locks and locks that are created during commit.
  • The undocumented COO service option COO_LOCK_FORCETIMEOUT has been removed.
  • The check of flags when breaking a lock has been tightened.
    • This affects objects that are permanently and normally locked at the same time.
    • Breaking a permanent lock requires TV_BREAKPERMLOCK.
    • Breaking a normal lock requires TV_BREAKLOCK.
    • Breaking a normal lock on an object that is permanently locked by another user requires TV_BREAKPERMLOCK, as this breaks the permanent lock.
    • Breaking a permanent lock on an object that is normally locked by the current user also requires TV_BREAKLOCK, as this breaks the user's normal lock.
  • Permanent locks can now only be unlocked using Commit.
• To ensure that background tasks do not block the execution of other background tasks, a maximum runtime is defined. If the background task is not completed within the given period of time, the background task gets aborted by throwing the COOSYSTEM@1.1:COOERR_TIMEOUT error on every expression or method call.
  The maximum runtime depends on the specified duration:
  • Very Short (incl. variants): 10 minutes
  • Short (incl. variants): 15 minutes
  • Default (incl. variants): 30 minutes
    Note: Except DD_DEFAULT_RULES: 15 minutes
  • Long (incl. variants): 60 minutes
  • Very Long (incl. variants): no timeout
• The EXECASYNCTIMEOUT environment variable defines the amount of time (in milliseconds) after which an expression which is started using COOSYSTEM@1.1:ExecAsync gets aborted by throwing the error COOSYSTEM@1.1:COOERR_TIMEOUT. Zero means that no timeout is enforced.
  Default value: 0 ms (disabled)
• The FSCVEXT_REQUESTTIMEOUT environment variable defines the maximum duration (in milliseconds) after which a request gets aborted. Zero means that no timeout is enforced.
  Default value: 0 ms (disabled)
• The new “Bulk Job Control” object class can reference a bulk job and overwrite values of the bulk job. Logging and related functionality are available directly on the bulk job control object.
