6.15.12

2024-11-14

Prerequisite

Before updating the Flow Server to service pack 6.15.12, ensure that the Server Manager Installer is updated to version 6.15.6 or newer.

Issues Resolved

• Resolved memory leak issues in both the REST connector and the Web Service connector.

• Fixed the issue where subscribed workflows did not function correctly with the IFS OData connector.

• General performance improvements in machine steps, REST connector & Database connectors.

• Fixed multiple issues related to OPC UA connector.

  • Added support for different authentication methods such as Username & Password authentication and certificate-based authentication.

  • Added support for extension objects both in design time and runtime.

• Fixed the issue with Infor m3 REST connector error handling. Infor has recently made changes to API v1 where the format/structure of the error message is changed. To handle this in Flow a new configuration named Force style for errors is introduced in Infor M3 REST connector.

  • By default Force style for errors is set to Empty Record. This means the flow will return an empty record in case of an error message returned from Infor M3. The other option is Nil Record and as the name implies the flow will return a Nil record in case of an error message returned from Infor M3.

Manual Upgrades

In some scenarios, the service pack is applied manually without using the installer (e.g. Novacura Cloud customers). In such situations, the Web.config file should be updated manually to include the new dependencies. To update the Web.config,

• Open the Web.config file inside the Server folder

• Search for the following entry

  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" publicKeyToken="adb9793829ddae60" culture="neutral"/>
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.0" newVersion="6.0.0.0"/>
  </dependentAssembly>

• and replace it with

  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions" publicKeyToken="adb9793829ddae60" culture="neutral"/>
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-6.0.0.4" newVersion="6.0.0.4"/>
  </dependentAssembly>
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="System.Memory" publicKeyToken="cc7b13ffcd2ddd51" culture="neutral" />
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.1.2" newVersion="4.0.1.2" />
  </dependentAssembly>

• Restart the Flow Server

If you applied service pack 6.15.12 without first updating the Installer, you can resolve the issue by manually updating the Web.config file as outlined in the instructions above.
