For TestedFormField objects that represent form items of radio button and input field types, method GetChoiceListPresentation() is implemented. It gets a fixed array that contains presentations of the form item choice list.

This feature was not provided. Extended automated testing capabilities.
Mobile client.
Implemented the mobile client, which is equivalent to the thin client running on a mobile device. Its interface is similar to mobile platform interface. The mobile client supports only HTTP connections to infobases. It does not support TCP connections. The exact match between the mobile client version and the server (or the web server extension) version is not required.

The mobile client provides online access to the majority of the features available in the thin client and in the web client. The mobile client supports all mobile device-specific features, such as camera, location, and notifications.

The collaboration system uses push notifications to deliver messages. Messages are delivered even if applications that generated them are not running or inactive.

Mobile client applications are always built to run with a specific list of configurations. Changing the assortment of configuration objects in an infobase connected to a mobile client application is not supported. You can modify a configuration without modifying the assortment of its objects. If the assortment of objects changes, you have to republish the mobile application. A mobile client application cannot run with configurations that are not in the list because of application store requirements. The mobile client uses digital configuration signatures to check whether a configuration is in the list.

Implemented automatic adjustment of configuration forms to mobile device screens. You can use new form item properties to modify the adjustment rules. In the managed form editor, implemented the form preview for mobile client mode.

In the mobile client, the list of home page forms is identical to that of the thin and web clients (but different from the list of home page forms of the mobile platform). When you start an application, it displays the first form in the list, while the other forms are available through a menu.

The mobile client supports add-ins.

The mobile client does not support interactive opening of external reports and data processors.

The mobile client can run configurations with compatibility mode Version 8.3.7 or later.

In Designer, implemented commands for interactive start of the mobile client on a mobile device.

The mobile application builder can now build mobile client applications. You can select the type of application to build: a mobile client application or a mobile platform application.

Implemented MobileClient access right. Implemented MobileClient preprocessor command. In the Syntax Assistant, implemented a new availability option for objects, properties, and methods.

For managed forms, implemented CollapseItemsByImportance property. For managed form items, implemented DisplayImportance property. It affects the adjustments of the form layout. For managed form tables, implemented CurrentRowUse and BehaviorOnHorizontalCompression properties. For form groups, implemented CurrentRowUse and AssociatedTable properties. For Designer batch mode, implemented the following command-line options and parameters: MobileClientWriteFile and MobileClientDigiSign options -MobileClient parameter for CheckModules and CheckConfig options -MobileClientDigiSign parameter for CheckConfig option

Changed the content of the mobile platform distribution package (mobile.zip). Now it contains the mobile client files required to develop and build mobile applications, as well as distribute them through application stores.

This feature is included for beta testing purpose only.

This feature was not provided.

The mobile platform was capable of running specialized offline applications.

Mobile devices can be used in the new way now. You can now work online with all application features that were available on the thin client and on the web client without the significant configuration refactoring.
Administration tools.
In Designer batch mode, for command-line options CreateDistributionFiles and CreateDistributive, implemented parameter WarningAsError. This feature was not provided. You can apply stricter validation rules (treat all warnings as errors) to generation of application distribution kits.
Server clusters.
Implemented new values for session and connection attributes. They indicate the duration of cluster service calls initiated by a session or a connection. They are available in all administrative tools: the cluster console, COM connection, Java administrative API, and the administration server.

Implemented the following IInfoBaseConnectionInfo object and ISessionInfo object properties:

  • durationCurrentService – the current cluster service operation time
  • CurrentServiceName – the current service name
  • durationLast5MinService – the total duration of cluster service calls within the last 5 minutes
  • durationAllService – the total duration of cluster service calls since the beginning of the session or the connection

Added the same attributes to the session list, connection list, and the connection properties dialog box in the cluster console.

Added the following parameters of connection list commands and session list commands for the cluster service command-line utility (rac): duration-current-service, current-service-name, duration-last-5min-service, and duration-all-service.

This feature was not provided. The duration of cluster service calls initiated by a specific connection or a specific session is now available.
System requirements.
Client application.
The client application for Linux needs the 1.4.3 version or higher of the webkitgtk-3.0 library installed. The client application for Linux needed the 1.4.3 version or higher of the webkitgtk-1.0 library installed. Unified the Linux and MacOs client applications operation.
Add-ins.
Implemented the new global context method DynamicAddInInstallationSupported(). It shows whether the add-in loading is available from the current Infobase.

The dynamic add-in loading is available only on Android mobile devices. Otherwise, add-ins should be included in the mobile application and are available only from the Add-in type configuration templates.

The dynamic add-in loading is available in the thick client, in the thin client, and in the web client (this behavior did not change).

Add-ins were available only from the mobile application and you could not load them from the Infobase.

You could not define the availability of dynamic add-in loading feature.

Now you can get the availability of dynamic add-in loading feature.
