Upgrade Notes

Planview Hub Upgrade Notes

Extensions

  • 131981: The JavaScript engine used to run extension scripts has been upgraded, and extensions should be reviewed and updated in the following cases:
    • String length checks are now only accessible as a property. Existing function calls such as "hello".length() should be expressed as property access: "hello".length.
    • JavaScript String object functions should be used instead of any corresponding Java String methods.
    • Creating or running a JavaScript Thread may fail under certain circumstances. It is not recommended to write multithreaded extension scripts.
    • Declaring or implementing a Java Interface or abstract Class from within a JavaScript extension is not supported.
    • The following functions previously provided under the Java global object are no longer available: Java.isJavaFunction, Java.isJavaMethod, Java.isScriptObject, and Java.isScriptFunction.

Repositories

  • 134310: Existing on-premise users will need to create new roles and groups in Keycloak to use this feature. To do this:

    • Log in to the User Administration Console as the root user.

    • On the 'Roles' page, create two new roles, 'RepositoryWriteAccess' and 'NonRepositoryWriteAccess'.

    • On the 'Groups' page, create a group named 'NonRepositoryUsers'. Under Role Mappings, add 'TasktopTroubleshootingUser' and 'NonRepositoryWriteAccess' to the assigned roles.

    • Then, create a group named 'RepositoryOnlyUsers'. Under Role Mappings, add the associated roles 'TasktopTroubleshootingUser' and 'RepositoryWriteAccess' to the assigned roles.

 

Connector-Specific Upgrade Notes

Microsoft Project Server

  • 131020: Upon upgrading, the connector will reset the enableNTLM boolean repository option to false. Please migrate to a more secure authentication protocol as NTLM support will be removed in an upcoming release.
