Jace's Blog · Jul 28, 2020 · article

The Topics from the Registration page;

On the registration page they mention;

  • OpenID SSO
  • Flow Designer
  • Integration Hub
  • Source Control
  • Instance Data Replication
  • Automated Test Framework

So I watched the "TechNow Tuesday: Discover the Paris Platform features Review"

They hit a lot of things. Here's what I noted from the video.

ATF

Custom UI versioning support This is to version the Custom UI stuff like flows and workflows. You may want to update old tests for that version if you make tests

Improved indexing Similiar elements are not easily identified

Page inspector enhancements Better error messaging

Authentication

Connections tab on Flow designer Very nice. Also, you can add child aliases.

OpenID Connect SSO Authenticate against Google, Facebook or whatever. To do that, Create an OpenID Connect configuration.

External self-user registration This is great - lets user self register. All you need to do is turn on the plugin\

Core Platform

Schedule Jobs - Business Calendar offset If you need to run something on a recurring basis for business offsets

Performance dashboard - instance view Now displays for entire instance and you can turn on and off for specific nodes

Robust transform engine (RTE) wildcards

Robust transform engine (RTE) nested structure Previously only support flat json structures

  • Scoped data administration

Domain separation

Application properties Different value for different domains for specific applications

Scheduled jobs - Domain iterator

Flow Designer

Action instance order renaming No longer nested. 3.2.1 => 8. Copy the flow if you're worried before you update the flow

Duplicate actions instance huge time saver

FlowAPI enhancements Older FlowAPI calls will work but please use the new stuff

FlowScriptAPI These are used within the flow

Ghost actions Have you ever noticed in production flows fail to open if referencing missing actions

Decision flow - Turn off branches _This is nice

Decision flow - Avoid repetitive "Update record" actions by applying the answer data

Multi-row Variable Set (MVRS) support

Run with roles

Send SMS action

Submit catalog item request action Another nail in the order guide coffin

Support multiple active connections

Update and delete multiple step Chuck uses it as a cleanup to delete the logs

User access control criteria Only show actions they can use

IntegrationHub

Data sources - data stream Objects can be flattened into import table. Or nested in a field. Pre-import script needed for this.

Dynamic object support and data stream output This can be great to do introspection of other data

Data stream Support for outputs in script parser. You now have access to actioninputs and action scripts

JSON Parser Flow Designer/IntegrationHub step Used live on lchh week of 7/23

JSON Payload Builder Builds file contents for api calls

XML Payload Builder Builds file contents for api calls

Integration Security

Outbound IP access controls A poor mans firewall - stops the instance and Midservers from hitting the IP.

Platform

GraphQL

Archiving Multi-consumer archiving

Archiving - Destroy related records

Archiving - Restore related records

MetricBase - Non sys_id based subjects for MetricBase

Instance data replication - bidirectional Now it's bidirection by one checkbox (Technow planned in December)

Instance data replication - discrete sets

Notifications

Inbound / outbound email address filters

Platform security
