This article details hotfix 1012923 for Laserfiche Workflow Suite 8.3. The update resolves the following issues:
- The Repeat activity now has a property box that lets you choose to evaluate the repeat conditions before or after the contained activities run. In Workflow 8.0, the Repeat activity checked its conditions after the contained activities ran, but, in Workflow 8.3, it checked its conditions before the contained activities ran. The new property box allows you to choose between the two options. Workflow 8.0 workflows migrated before this hotfix is applied have their repeat conditions checked before the contained activities are run (as in Workflow 8.3). Workflow 8.0 workflows migrated after this hotfix is applied have their repeat conditions checked after the contained activities are run (as in Workflow 8.0) by default. (84674)
- When a hyperlink is used in an e-mail, the second slash in "http://" is no longer deleted. (84892)
- Date/time values returned by a database activity now use an invariant format so the resulting token value will no longer be blank for non-US regional settings. (84635)
- The user's manager e-mail property is now set when using the round robin option in the Route Entry to Group activity. (84610)
- The User Exclusion Filter option on the Monitored Repositories tab of the Advanced Server Options (in the Workflow Administration Console) now excludes all users listed. (84587)
- Workflow Migration has now been fixed to better handle inconsistent data in the SQL database. (84673)
- The e-mail scheduling option in the Routing activities will no longer erroneously report a warning that the specified "starting on" date and time are in the past. (84436)
- The Routing activities' e-mail scheduling option to re-send e-mails now waits the specified amount of time even if the exclude weekend and holidays option is enabled. (84359)
- The Routing activities' e-mail scheduling option no longer marks all tokens in the "starting on" text box as invalid. (84328)
- Trustee directory custom properties used in Routing activities now resolve correctly. (84304)
- Trustee directory properties (custom or otherwise) now show as validated when imported from 8.0. (84303)
- Trustee directory custom properties now show up in token lists and the Token Dialog for Routing activities. (84302)
- The Advanced Server Options dialog in the Workflow Administration Console has a new Activity Performance tab in which you can fine-tune the performance of specific activities. (84752, 84753, 84754, 84799)
- The Workflow Server configuration no longer reverts back to previous Default Workflow folder on reboot. (84266)
- Long-running scripts now only show the warning 'Object has been disconnected or does not exist at the server' after running for more than two minutes. You can customize the timeout time in the Scripting Performance options in the Workflow Administration Console. (83929)
- Sometimes a Workflow script would not set a token's value. This issue is now resolved. (83928)
- A small memory leak when running scripts was fixed. (84727)
- When configuring a custom activity with a dropdown from a TypeConverter, typing an item in the text box no longer discards the value you typed. (83025)
- You can now configure a repository on a Laserfiche Server with a non-standard port. (84663)
- Workflow now correctly releases its connections to Laserfiche Server when they are no longer needed. (84637)
