Xoom 3.8.2 has been released

This is a minor patch release that fixes a bug in the Service Optimization scheme implementation that previously required newly created collection’s ProductName to be globally unique. On the Service Optimization side, this requirement is only true for top-level collections, while for child collections (such as multi-values) ProductName only needs to be unique within the scope of their parent collection. The fix takes this into account and corrects the behaviour.

Xoom 3.8.1 has been released

Xoom 3.8.1 is a patch release that contains the following changes:

  • Added a new report called Bad References Report. This report lists all bad references in the provided XoomXML. The references are sorted by their originating item and reference type, and each entry also specifies the reference path within the item and their current value, making it very easy to determine which bad references are most urgent to fix, such as for example when a reference is to a non-existent key.
  • Objectives Report now lists objective types as well as categories, making it more informative and easier to navigate.
  • Custom installers that require post-installation actions that require Xoom to be running now take into account the value of DISABLESERVICESTART installer parameter before attempting to perform those actions.

Xoom 3.7.5 has been released

Xoom 3.7.5 is a patch release that includes the following changes:

  • Object References are no longer sorted by object name. The decision to make this change was made due to the fact that we encountered a single case where the sorting resulted in a functional error. The sorting was previously considered (and still is, according to ClickSoftware’s product documentation) to be an entirely safe convenience feature making it easier to look up object references using Xoom tools, XoomXML files and Service Optimization Administration tool.
  • Both the readability and usability of Bad References Report have been improved. By displaying the value of the element that contains the actual bad reference, the report now makes it easier to decide whether the remedy for each particular bad reference is in the configuration or in the knowledge base (i.e. in the erroneous interpretation of the configuration).

Xoom 3.7.4 has been released

Xoom 3.7.4 is a patch release that includes the following changes:

  • The installer now allows users to specify the installation directory, both from command line and via the user interface. This is the directory where both Xoom and Xoom W6 directories will be created. The default directory is: “C:Program Files (x86)Zany Ants”.
  • Settings Migration Tool no longer excludes the deployment of Agents Manager and Mapper settings due to the introduction of suitable keep-target instructions that will prevent server names from being overwritten by default.

Xoom 3.7.3 has been released

Xoom 3.7.3 is a patch release that includes the following changes:

  • It introduces a new standard query called Structure, which includes scheme and object reference setting. This query is very useful for automated analysis of the compatibility of different environments and the capability of transferring data between them.
  • Xoom Processor now implements a built-in custom command called GetCustomQuery. The command takes a skeleton structure as its input, and fills in the details using Xoom, exactly as though the skeleton were the body of a named query. This means that ad hoc queries can be used with Xoom without the need to define corresponding named queries.

Xoom 3.7.1 has been released

Xoom 3.7.1 is a patch release that addresses two issues:

  • Message size limit has been increased in order to accommodate large document sizes encountered by some customers.
  • Support has been added for correct reference interpretation in a case where one or more keys of a referenced item themselves reference another item.
