The most important enhancements and fixes are listed below.

Enhancements and known issues resolved

Enhancements

Data Model

From now on, the DM Schema supports conditional generation rules for the auto-filling of attributes by concatenating other attributes of the DM Object. For example, different Name composition could be requested for a Simulation Model according to its Discipline.

It is now possible to apply a conditional generation rule as an exception to the general generation rule defined for an attribute. In this case, when the condition is satisfied, the conditional generation rule will be applied, whereas in all other cases, the generic generation rule will be used.

This version also introduces the setting “trim_empty_sections” that can be used in generation rules to request the suppression of empty composants from the generated values.

Data Lifecycle

It is now possible to temporarily deactivate the Lifecycle Management for the current session of the SPDRM Admin Console. The following script functions are added to support this functionality:

  • dm.activateLBR
  • dm.deactivateLBR
  • dm.isLBRActivated

Process Observer / HPC Submission

The ‘Start’, ‘End’ and ‘Last Update’ dates of submitted jobs are now listed out-of-the-box in the ‘Submitted Jobs’ workspace.

Script API

The new script function dm.getDefinitionIdOfInstancePart enables the identification of a definition part based on one of its instances.

Furthermore, the following script functions can take as input an instance id:

  • dm.getSPDRMAttributes
  • dm.getDMItemAdditionalAttributes
  • dm.downloadFileById

System Configuration

SPDRM now fully supports UNC paths. This enhancement eliminates the need to map network drive letters on Windows client machines, simplifying access to network resources (e.g. vault, client directory, registered applications).

This version introduces the log file downloads for the BAL and RIOC microservices via a REST API endpoint, offering increased convenience and integration.

Known issues resolved

Data Model

An error could occur while trying to set privileges on any of the DEFAULT_ITEMS through the DM Structure (Schema) editor.

Process Design / Execution

In case a configuration file set-up in the respective Registered Application was missing from the defined location, the node would finish its execution without launching the application and with no warning message.

Script API

The dm.showProperties function would fail to open the Properties window of a Part without representation file.

Data Model

A new part representation would not be saved in SPDRM if user role was other than Administrators.

For more details about the new software features, enhancements and corrections please, refer to the Release Notes document.

Documentation Updates

Updated Documents

Updated User Guides and Automation Guides (Scripting / REST API).

Supported Platforms and System Requirements

From this version onward, the server application of SPDRM is available only for Linux 64bit.
NOTE: Installation of SPDRM server application on MS Windows is not supported anymore.

The client application of SPDRM is running under 64bit flavours of Linux and MS Windows.

The software requires a different license key to the rest of the products of BETA CAE Systems. This license key should be incorporated into the same license file, if such is already installed, and requires beta_lm, the proprietary license manager of BETA CAE Systems.
