Changes to Database Connection Strings

At AVEVA NET Workhub and Dashboard 5.1.3 there are important changes related to multi-tenancy.

The place that a database connection string needs to be added has changed. Now, any <add connectionString> XML elements need to be added below the relevant <Portal> section.

For the Access Control Lists section, Users and Groups are no longer values they are defined in a "Value" attribute.

Also, the AVEVA NET Player configuration file has been removed and can now be defined in the web.config or in the configuration database.

Changes to Rights for Exporting to the Server

From AVEVA NET Workhub and Dashboard 5.1.4, an explicit Right is needed to be able to export files to the server. The Right is called ExportToServer.

So, if you have assigned the RunExport Right to a Role and you want to continue to allow members of that Role to be able to export to a configured location on the server (and not just be able to export data), then you will need to add the ExportToServer Right to that Role.

AVEVA intends to fix the defects listed below in a fix release or service pack as soon as reasonably possible.

Changes to the "Max list items for AVEVA NET Player and Visual Reports" Setting

From AVEVA NET Workhub and Dashboard 5.1.5, due to introducing Visual Reports for SVGs, the "Max list items for AVEVA NET Player and Visual Reports" setting has been rationalized.

The setting:

Role->General->VizStream Viewer->"Max list items for AVEVA NET Player and Visual Reports"

has been replaced by the following two settings:

Site->General->Player->"Max list items for AVEVA Asset Information Management Player"

and

Site->General->Visual Reports->"Max list items for Visual Reports"
