Dear Aware IM users,
version 8.4 has now been released. This is an incremental release with not many major new features, but with a long list of improvements. The Release Notes are attached:
Aware IM 8.4 Release Notes
Aware IM 8.4 contains a number of new features and improvements.
The list of the new features and improvements is shown below:
1. Native support for PostgreSQL database
2. Support for Barcodes and QRcodes in the Report Designer- you can now add Barcode and QRCode elements to your reports
3. Report Preview in the Report Designer - preview how the report looks like before running it with real data
4. Aware IM can now run with the latest Java version 12
5. A number of improvements have been implemented for the Rule Log Viewer:
a) Rule Log Viewer is now part of the Control Panel, there is no standalone version
b) It is now possible to optionally show time-stamp, user name and business space name for each record in the log
c) It is now possible to find adjacent records that have the specified time difference - this is very useful for profiling performance
of an application and finding performance bottlenecks
d) It is now possible to show SQL commands being executed when the application runs
e) It is now possible to optionally show how the system handles timer events in the log
f) It is now possible to filter log records by user name and business space
g) It is now possible to export log records that belong to the specified business space and user only
h) LOG2 CONTEXT action now displays attribute values of objects stored in Context. This action can be used not only in processes but in
object rules to display Context (priorities can be used to display context before and after the rules of an object have been executed)
6. New function EXEC_SPF - execute a stored procedure as a function. This allows using stored procedures in functions, for example:
IF EXEC_SPF ('ContactNotesCount', 'MAIN', Customer.ID) = 4 THEN ...
7. Ability to specify width and height for modeless windows
8. Ability to specify properties of popup windows (including width and height)
9. Some improvements to the Multi-developer mode have been implemented:
a) Ability for a developer to lock a business space version

10.Support for encoding when importing and exporting data has been added (both when performing administrator export/import and
and in the IMPORT and EXPORT actions)
11.A special plugin has been developed to automate creation of a business space for Cloud deployment when a new user signs up -
a new business space is created, a BSV is imported and published automatically
12.Improvements to static choices - ability to use tags in choices and also optionally specify "values" for each choice
13.Improvements when creating new element in the Configuration Tool - ability to straight away specify type of document when creating a document
and the ability to straight away setup a matching relationship when creating a reference attribute
14.Ability to set badges to all menu types except trees
15.Custom queries that use mobile or non-mobile templates are now supported in PICK FROM action
16.Add Reference, Add New Reference and other reference operations are now supported if references are shown as custom queries on a form
Add Reference will pick from a custom query list (both mobile and non-mobile custom templates supported).
17.The dialog for item display rules has been re-designed - you can now specify arbitrary CSS values and use tag expressions
18.Reference attributes are now displayed with a different color in the list of attributes
19.When specifying an icon for an operation or menu command it is now possible to pick from the list of Font Awesome icons that are
displayed in a popup window
20.Improvements When defining columns for queries represented by a standard grid:

b) Column width can be specified in percents as well as pixels.
c) Order of the columns can be changed by drag and drop

"multiple" or not

Re: Aware IM version 8.4 has been released!
Hello Support.
What does 'MAIN' represent?
Is it just a standard string parameter being passed to the sp? Or is it something that is AwareIM specific?
Code: Select all
IF EXEC_SPF ('ContactNotesCount', 'MAIN', Customer.ID) = 4 THEN

I’ve just slowly read through it twice.
There are some phenomenal things in this release.
Thank you so much to the AwareIM team !

Question with EXEC_SQL in a RULE?
New feature: 21.New rule action EXEC_SQL that allows executing an arbitrary SQL from rules
I am familiar with EXEC_SQL blahblah RETURNS BO in a query, but how is this used in a rule? Is there a RETURNS statement? Can I update an attribute with the result?

There IS a RETURN if EXEC_SQL does a SELECT - should be documented in the Rule Language Guide for 8.4

Re: Aware IM version 8.4 has been released!
There is one project I am getting into. The project has PostreSQL on google cloud. I see now aware IM 8.4 supports it natively. If we want to migrate it to aware IM how easy it will be to create screens using existing PostreSQL database.
Basically I want to know optimal way how to migrate any existing app done using angular as frontend with PostreSQL to aware Im as frontend and if its easy then I will suggest to client else continue supporting current code that has tons of code in angular and another middle layer.
