Release Notes for Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server

您正在阅读的是 6.0. 版本。关于最新版本,请前往 Release Notes for Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server 阅读 7.0 版本

The following sections list the release notes for publicly released versions of Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server 6.0.

While the Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server installer includes automated backup of your existing installation, it is always a good idea to make a pre-update backup of your data yourself - taking a redundancy copy off to one side, as it were. This provides additional safety should any unforeseen technical difficulties arise (see Backing up and Restoring Your Installation). It is advised to test out a new release of Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server on a different machine, before updating your production instance. Use of Virtual Machines can be invaluable in this respect.

In addition, please ensure that you refresh your Altium On-Prem Enterprise Server licensing. From the Admin – Licenses page of the Workspace browser interface, delete the existing Server/CAL licenses and then add fresh instances back in. This will ensure you have the latest licensing, incorporating any licensing-related feature changes.

Version 6.0.5

Build: 26 Date: 22 December 2023

PLM

33157 Published EPM document's number will now adhere to Windchill's auto-numbering and not name. This only affects Windchill PLM integration customers as follows:
  • Existing users with existing configuration and existing project - after next publishing, they will not see any changes. The published EPM document's number will still be the name.
  • Existing users with existing configuration and new project - after publishing, they will see newly created documents with numbers automatically assigned by Windchill.
If user wants to retain previous method, they can edit configuration's number mapping.
33174 Improved loading of PLM WEB UI configuration by skipping the fetching of Windchill classification metadata during initial page loading.
33176 Fixed issue where Altium parameters could not be synced to Windchill Unit-of-Measure parameters.

33871 Fixed issue where subsequent project publishing to Windchill for some projects failed.

Infrastructure & Administration

32415 Fixed issue where upgrade was unsuccessful due to search index rebuild.
32707 Improved item ID generation performance. An advanced settings option (UseServerItemHRIDGenerator) is available in Altium Designer 24.0 and later. When enabled, the connected Enterprise Server's HRID generator will be used when generating a new item ID. Also fixed issue where component release would fail with "Duplicate ID is not allowed" when user had no permissions to access components with existing ID.
32949 Fixed issue where a user could perform lifecycle state transitions, even if that user had no permissions to do so for those states in the Lifecycle Definition.

Version 6.0.4

30528 Enabled ability for a workflow's title to be set as non-editable, to ensure standardization of workflow names (edit workflow >> in Properties panel, enable/disable "Allow the initiator to change the process title").
30542 Fixed issue where a workflow task could not be re-assigned if the initiator was deleted from the Workspace.
31063 Fixed issue where the part request workflow form was not being updated with the latest revision of the component, after that component was modified.

30329 Improved upgrade process where configurations done in LocalVault.ini file (e.g., port numbers, domain name, etc) are retained.
30977 Migrated to use .NET 6 services. Prior .NET Core 3.1 services will not be removed/uninstalled since it could be used by other applications/software.  If required, you can manually uninstall .NET Core 3.1 items via the Windows Control Panel’s Programs and Features.
