Share-A-spaceT 5.5 Released
Eurostep announced version 5.5 of Share-A-spaceT. The focus in this release has been documentation and new features are included like support for Oracle 10g as well as full browser support for Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.
Updated and new functionality in 5.5:
General
• Support for Oracle 9i / 10g / 10g XE
Share-A-spaceT from version 5.5 is supported on both Oracle 9i and 10g. It is also possible to run it on 10g XE (Express Edition) which is available free of charge from Oracle. However, the XE version of Oracle comes with some limitations on database size which makes it unsuitable for production installations.
• Supports Firefox 2.0 AND Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer in version 6 and 7 as well as Firefox in version 2 are now officially supported browsers for running the Share-A-spaceT Web GUI.
DataExchange
• Data Exchange reachable via Web Services
The DataExchange component is now accessible via WS. This means that clients developed using the PLCS PLM Services to access PLCS data from Share-A-spaceT, can now also take full advantage of the possibilities of the DataExchange component provided with Share-A-space OOTB, to make automatic imports, mappings between different file formats and generating reports.
• New C# Exporter.
The old COM exporter has been replaced by a new exporter developed in C# with the same functionality. The reason for this is to enhance the performance as well as the extensibility of it and to make it more accessible by other components.
Security
To be able to trace possible intruders to the Share-A-spaceT Server, failed login attempts are now traced in a log-file alongside with the regular user-log.
Encrypted passwords in database
Passwords can now be encrypted in the database using HMAC encryption.
Techie
• Performance enhancements on the SASSetting component, the component in Share-A-spaceT that keeps track of all personal settings of a user.
• The ECS namespace has been removed and all components have moved to a formal namespace under "Eurostep.SAS.*", e.g. Eurostep.SAS.Interface.JavaMapper
• All components of the Share-A-space Server are now explicitly versioned to ensure consistency throughout the new releases.
Web Services
Strict PLCSPLMServices separated from Share-A-space specifics in the ClientSDK by introducing the "PLCS Foundation" and "PLCS Templates" classes.
Changed namespaces in:
-SASAdapter, from SASAdapter to Eurostep.SAS.Services.PLCS.Adapter
-PLCS Foundation, from Types to PLCS.Types
-ClientSDK, from ClientSDK to Eurostep.SAS.Services.PLCS.ClientSDK
Added WorkspaceManagement to support working with Favourites, etc.
Added UpdateHeader as an in parameter in many of the template methods
On all implemented create and update methods e.g. CreatePart(), the method ends with a rebind of the actual PLCS object.
In the Update methods for the master objects the ability to change the name has been added.
In the Create methods of all master and version objects the Organization_or_person_in_organization_assignment has been added and mapped against actor in SAS.
In the Update methods of the version objects the Organization_or_person_in_organization_assignment has been added and mapped against actor in SAS.
In the Create method the Organization_or_person_in_organization_assignment has been added and mapped against actor in SAS.
