ConfigPortal Release Notes

The following items on the list encompass breaking changes, features, and fixes that are relevant for the major release.

Release 24.2.42

Dependencies and Component Updates

The following central components will be shipped in the noted version, along with relevant product and service dependencies:

Selective Staging

Staging is a process to merge data from one configuration repository to another. This allows to test configuration changes in one environment (e.g. an integration system) and take them afterward to another one (e.g. a production system).

Previously, staging could only be carried out using an "all or nothing" approach. All changes in the source system were transferred to the target system. This was not possible if several configuration strings existed that were transferred to a different environment at different times.

ConfigPortal 24.2 now supports selective staging. Users can select or deselect individual changes in the staging process and thus control whether the changes are applied or not.

The option can be activated once for each environment. It is recommended that productive environments are only extended using full staging in order to always bring ready-to-use configuration packages to them.

For more information on the staging process please refer to ConfigPortal Staging [C OG] - [IES] Drafts for Versioned Docs - Confluence (atlassian.net).

Use Case Page Designer

ConfigPortal now contains a complex visual designer to create and modify used case pages.

This feature is only relevant for software developers who want to use ConfigPortal for the configuration of the own products. For further information, please contact the Vidispine support.

Configuration of storage priorities

ConfigPortal now allows the configuration of priorities for VidiCore storages.

VidiFlow Workflow Rule improvements

Two improvements were implemented for VidiFlow Workflows Rules:

• The rule versions are now shown in the rule overview

• Deleting rules will now be done as soft delete, similar to workflows. The soft deleted rules can still be seen in the CP UI.

Performance improvements

The following performance improvements are part of the new release:

• Data compression is used for the data send from CP API to the clients.

• The frequency of GIT fetch calls is reduced via data caching.

• Uploaded files are now also cached to fasten multiple requests to the same files
