3.0.1

Release notes for version 3.0.1 of the Rhize application.

This release includes bug fixes, improvements for developer experience, and new relationships between entities in the ISA-95 schema. It also clears the way for the new, improved Work Calendar service (still in release candidacy).

Release date: 23 Jul 2024

Changes by service

The following sections document the changes this release brings to each service.

Audit

Fixes

• Fix Postgres user tag query to use column name user_id instead of the user reserved keyword

BPMN

Features

• Error boundary events now support call-activity tasks. If a task in the called process aborts, the error boundary captures that event.
• Support Custom Certificate authorities so that the BPMN service can run in networks with internal certificates authorities.
• Message events now support topics that use the + wildcard.
• Add configuration option to set __traceDebug flag on all BPMN executions. For details, read Debug workflows.
• Allow __traceDebug to be set from variable context.
• Add support for querying a range of work calendar entries for a Work Calendar Definition.
  • When configured, calendar data persists to a timeseries DB.
  • ⚠️Breaking . Work calendars now query for WorkCalendarDefinitions not workCalendars. This makes it possible to configure calendars in the UI.
  • Work calendar execution is now based on Hierarchy Scope.

Change

• Reduce number of retries in BPMN recovery, speeding up response times when node does not exist. From the user’s perspective, the delay was particularly notable on API BPMN triggers when the specified workflow did not exist.

Fixes

• Capture panics in JSONata go for better recovery and discovery.
• ⚠️Breaking . Limit BPMN users to only tokens with specific audience and scope.
• Workflow specifications not found in NATS now fall back to database lookups before failing. Fixes issue when spinning up new development containers.
• Include metadata fields for jobResponse. Fixes panic if node tried to access these fields.
• Respect debug flag for BPMNs triggered with createAndRunBpmn.
• Reuse expected Audience for clients to match documented client name.
• Do not create calendar entry for end events.
• Fix nil pointer error when aborting tasks without parents.

Schema

Features

• ⚠️Breaking . Add id and label to stateTransitionInstance.
• Add menu URL for portal in UI (preparation for future work in UI).
• Add filter to query material actual by a material requirement and vice-versa.
• Link workCalendarEntries to equipment versions.
• Include Kafka in the enum values for data sources.
• Added optional InformationObjectTypeEnum to OperationsEventRecordEntry.

Fixes

• Add 0:N relationship from materialRequirements to materialActual.
• The segmentResponse entity can now have multiple jobResponses attached.
• Change segmentResponse relationship to JobResponse to be a 1:N relationship
• ⚠️Breaking . Change stateModelTransition from state to a relationship.
• Fix inverse relationship between operationseventDefinitionProperty and operationsEventProperty.

Upgrade

To upgrade to v3.0.1, first ensure that you have made corrections for the aforementioned breaking changes.

Rhize now limits BPMN users to the libreBpmn audience and bpmn:mutation role. If users do not have this audience and role, they will unable to log in. To fix this:

1. Log in to the Keycloak service in your Rhize environment.
2. Select the libre realm.
3. Configure the audience and role for the Users or groups that should be able to run BPMN workflows. For details, read Install Keycloak.

Work calendars now query for workCalendarDefinitions, not workCalendars. There is a chance this may break some calendars that already exist. To mitigate this, ensure you set active definitions for the calendars you want to query. Read About calendars and overrides for details about how the service and its relationships work.

After you’ve made the necessary mitigations, follow the upgrade the Upgrade instructions.

Post upgrade

Two schema changes to the state model also might cause breaking changes after upgrade. You can correct these issues by re-uploading the data.

For the specific breaks:

The StateTransitionInstance entity now has an id and label property. Any such entities that were created without an ID and label are now invalid. To mitigate this:

1. Query for your StateTransitionInstance:

   query QueryStateTransitionInstance {
     queryStateTransitionInstance {
       iid
     }
   }
   

2. Use a mutation to update these to have an ID and label.

Any existing StateModelTransitions using a from or to property will break. Change these to a relationship.
