What’s new in the documentation for the 10.4.5 release?

The DataMiner documentation is continuously growing and improving. That’s why from time to time we like to provide you with a summary of all things new in the DataMiner Docs.

Here’s a quick overview of the changes we’ve done to the documentation for DataMiner 10.4.5:

• Storage as a Service now supports the use of a proxy server.
• DataMiner 10.4.5 introduces a ton of GQI-related changes:
  • You can now define a custom sort order for GQI columns.
  • The IGQIOnInit and IGQIOnDestroy interfaces can now be used in custom operators.
  • When configuring an ad hoc data source or a custom operator, you can now log messages and exceptions within GQI.
• When you configure a low-code app with an event that launches a script, and you link a script parameter to an empty feed, it will now automatically use an empty array instead of prompting the user to enter a parameter.
• In addition to Web API logging, you can now also find client metric logging in the C:\Skyline DataMiner\Logging\Web folder. These logs encompass everything from unexpected errors to the load time of a dashboard or low-code app page.
• In Dashboards and Low-Code Apps, both a web component and a text component can now be linked to a feed.
• In Dashboards and Low-Code Apps, pressing Ctrl+Space now reveals all labels in a node edge graph simultaneously, including previously minimized edge labels because of close grouping. Additionally, the Clear selection component action was introduced for node edge graphs.
• You can now add the “WaitForValue” option to the [var], [cardvar], and [pagevar] placeholders in Visual Overview, to prevent the placeholder from being resolved until the variable is set to a value.
• The new Security Advisory BPA test will run a collection of checks to see if the system is configured as securely as possible.
• Experience timeline interactivity like never before with the 4 new events and 3 new actions introduced in this release.
