Business Services Security and Visibility for Bundles

In order to allow more granular administration bundles can now be assigned to business services and a new user / group permission type for "Bundle" has been added to control how users can interact with Bundles. The existing "ops_bundle_admin" remains to provide global access to the bundle feature.

Optionally allow bundle-less promotion for users without ops_promotion_admin role

To augment the features delivered in B-09938 and B-09939 a new system property "Bundleless Promotion With Execute Permission Permitted" has been added to optionally allow promotion of definitions outside of a bundle without requiring the ops_promotion_admin role.
 
By default this property is "false", meaning that the Promote… action is disabled unless a user has the ops_promotion_admin role. For a user with the ops_promotion_admin role, the Promote… dialog allows selection of any pre-existing promotion target.
 
When the property is set to "true", the Promote... action will be available to users who have "execute"permission to at least one promotion target. Again, for a user with the ops_promotion_admin role, the Promote… dialog allows selection of any pre-existing promotion target.

Calculate Observed Public Holidays

This provides the ability to support "observed" public holidays without the need for a custom day list of dates. For example if July 4th falls on a Saturday the observed July 4th would be Friday July 3rd and if July 4th falls on a Sunday the observed July 4th would be Monday July 5th.

Warning
titleIMPORTANT!

A Time Trigger using "Week" Date Qualifier may skip qualifying times when using certain complex restrictions.
 
1.Create a Time Trigger with "Complex" Day Style using the following:

Html bobswift
<ul><li> Day Adjective: Every
<li>Date Noun: Day
<li>Date Qualifier: Week
<li>Date Adjustment: None 
</ul>

2.List Qualifying Times for trigger.  This should should list times for every day of the week. 
3.Add Complex Restriction to Time Trigger from step 1 using the following:

Html bobswift
<ul><li>Action: Do Not TriggerRestriction 
<li>Adjective: Every
<li>Restriction Noun: Sunday
<li>Restriction Qualifier: Week* 
</ul>

4. List Qualifying Times for trigger.  This should list times for every day except Sunday; however, the List will only show times until the next Sunday. 
 
* Month, Year also exhibit the problem. The work-around is to use "Simple" Day Style if possible instead of "Complex" Day Style.  For example, Daily instead of Every Day of Week.

Automatic purging of old Custom Day dates from Date List

A new System Property has been added to allow customers to automatically purge old dates in a Custom Day of type Date List. If the System Property “Purge Dates From Custom Day List Older Than” is set, then after midnight when the log is rolled over, part of the post log rollover will now purge any dates out of Custom Day (Date List) that are older than the number of days set as the System Property value.
 
For example, if the System Property is set to 7, then any dates older than 7 days will be automatically removed from Date List – Custom Days.

B-07148

Add Nth and Nth Amount to Time Trigger Restrictions - Complex Restriction - Adjective

In the Restrictions section of the Time Trigger Definition you could previously specify 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, First and Last. Support has been added for Nth and Nth amount.
 
For example, this will enable restrictions for 10th Day of Month.

B-09498

New System Property to Control the Minimum Frequency in Seconds for a Time Interval on a Time Trigger

New System Property "Time Trigger Minimum Frequency in Seconds". This allows customers to restrict the creation of new Time Triggers with a time Interval less that the value specified in this property.

Add function to retrieve predecessor task output by specific line.

Two new functions have been added to allow access to specific lines from a task's output. As with the existing task output functions you will need to both Retrieve the output automatically and check the Wait for Output option to ensure that the task's output is available for processing.
 

 
These functions can be used in task set variable actions to allow access to specific lines from the output of a task.
 
${_outputLines('outputType', startLine, numberOfLines[, 'defaultValue', 'resultDelimiter'])} or for sibling tasks ${_outputLinesFromTask('siblingName', 'outputType', startLine, numberOfLines[, 'defaultValue', 'resultDelimiter'])}
 
For Example STDOUT Contains:
 
License_OS_Type UNIX
License_Type DEMO
License_Expiration_Date 2020.04.30 YYYY.MM.DD
License_NT_Servers 10000
License_UNIX_Servers 10000
License_OS400_Servers 10000
License_OS390_Servers 10000
License_OS390_Unix_Servers 10000
License_Key B1E9-AABD-E59A-8079-30BF-3B17-2E67-8D21
 
A set Variable Action For Status Success uses the new function:
 

 
And the Global Variable is set as follows:
 

 
${_outputLinesByRegex('outputType', 'regexPattern'[, maxCount, numberOfLinesBefore, numberOfLinesAfter, 'defaultValue', 'resultDelimiter'])} or for sibling tasks ${_outputLinesByRegexFromTask('siblingName', 'outputType', 'regexPattern'[, maxCount, numberOfLinesBefore, numberOfLinesAfter, 'defaultValue', 'resultDelimiter'])}
