adTempus 5.0.4 Release Notes

When the adTempus Console is connected to more than one adTempus server, the list of servers in the Console Tree is now sorted alphabetically.

The Server Connection window was modified to include the Advanced connection settings box, which can be used to configure some rarely-needed properties of the server connection.

When creating or editing a Job Execution Task, the Add button may not be visible on the Job Execution page, making it impossible to add target jobs.

If set the password for a Credential Profile to a value longer than 50 characters, the password is truncated to 50 characters without warning, causing a login error when trying to validate or use the password. The Credential Profile window was modified to allow passwords up to 1,000 characters.

When an adTempus 5 client (Console or API client) connects to an adTempus 4 server, values for Job Variables are not correctly read and written. In the Console all Job Variables will have empty values. If a variable is updated in the adTempus 5 client, the new value is not saved to the server.

When exporting directly from an adTempus 5.x server to an adTempus 4.x server, the Console fails to set the correct export format, resulting in errors when the adTempus 4.x server tries to import the data. (This problem does not occur if you export to a file, because you can select the export file version when you do this.) This problem was corrected so that the correct export settings are used automatically.

When an adTempus 5.x Console is used to edit a job on a version 4.x server, in some cases changes to the job are not saved to the server. This problem was corrected.

On Agents, three new Job Variables are now available with the identity of the Controller that the Agent belongs to:

• ControllerName
• ControllerInstanceName
• ControllerAndInstanceName

When uploading a file to a cloud storage provider using one of the file tasks, the task may fail with error "Renaming a file to a different path is not supported." In this scenario the file is successfully uploaded but has a temporary name. The problem was corrected: for cloud storage, adTempus no longer uploads to a temporary file name as it does with FTP and SFTP.

Changes were made to greatly improve performance when expanding Job Variables and other text that contains references to other Job Variables. Performance issues were noted in environments with a large number of Job Variables that referenced other variables (using the "%VariableReference%" syntax). Performance issues were observable when editing jobs in the Console (slow to render the Job Variables page in the Job Properties) and in some cases caused noticeable delays in starting job execution.
