Pricefx Studio v6 Release Notes

Latest Release

Requires IntelliJ IDEA versions 2020.1, 2019.3.x, 2019.2.x

Pricefx Studio 6.6 (builds 201.2919 / 192.2923 / 202.2938)

New Features

  • PFAUT-113 Opening logics (and some other object types) is now possible from the Fetch/Deploy tool windows

  • PFAUT-532 Mark 'elements' folders as source instead of 'CalculationLogic' folde

  • PFAUT-520 Groovy console engine has been changed. It is not using the local debugging functionality, but instead behaves now the same way as test execution of a logic. Therefore api.jsonEncode() may become useful when displaying api.find() in the table grid.

  • PFAUT-76 Mark orphan element files with red icon in project tree. It is useful when you did a mistake when merging in GIT so there is a element file that is not in logic.json

  • PFAUT-522 Configurator Builder introduced. You can now design Product configurator that can be used in QC.

  • PFAUT-537 Target date parameter added to both groovy consoles

  • PFAUT-517 Pretty formatting of filters in JSON format in Tree tab of the Results tool window

  • PFAUT-530 Lazy loading of GroovyConsole to decrease memory consumption. It should also speed up the opening of the logic.json editor

Bugfixes & Stability improvements

  • PFAUT-352 Filter was not applied after reload of Fetch/Deploy tool windows
  • PFAUT-531 Button Filter inactive was missing in Fetch tool window and did nothing in the Deploy tool window
  • PFAUT-527 ProductSKU parameter component's height was cut

Pricefx Studio 6.4 (builds 201.2845 / 192.2845)

This release is mandatory if you want to use configurators against the Collins 5.0 release. For this release Update Project Libraries.

The Groovy library is not installed with the plugin anymore due to potential clashes. The Groovy library should be defined in pom.xml (or alternatively add the Groovy library manually using Add Framework).

New Features

  • PFAUT-478 Config.groovy can now be populated by selecting an account from the PlatformManager. Create a token in PlatformManager and enter it in Preferences/Settings > Pricefx Studio.
  • PFAUT-479 New  "Use SQL" checkbox shows/hides the SQL editor and defines how the Groovy script is generated: either executeSqlQuery() or executeQuery(). non-SQL DMSIM queries are now supported by the PA console.
  • PFAUT-466 Data change requests are now supported for fetch/deploy.
  • PFAUT-447 Added javadoc for Collins
  • PFAUT-485 TDD4C: pom.xml template upgraded to use Spock 1.3 with Groovy library 2.5.11.
  • PFAUT-470 Caching typedId of the calculable item should fasten executing of test formula and evaluation of Groovy console
  • PFAUT-348 Pricefx connection timeout introduced in Preferences/Settings > Pricefx Studio. Try to keep it at a low value.
  • PFAUT-469 Changed auto-completion of api.product() and api.customer() to now use the field names from PriceBuilder (PFCD-5611)

Bugfixes & Stability improvements

  • PFAUT-478 The login dialog now pops up only when the partition is first accessed in the tool windows (and not when first seen in config.groovy)
  • Publishing Templates disappeared, they are now back

  • PFAUT-452 Exexute logic using Alt+F5 was still causing freeze
  • PFAUT-439 Groovy library is not installed with the plugin anymore due to potential clashes. The Groovy library should be defined in pom.xml (or alternatively add the Groovy library manually using Add Framework). Also maven repo changed from http → https by ENG.
  • PFAUT-480 Reduced number of HTTP requests when querying PFX metadata, this is mainly recognizable in auto-completion or Metadata tool window - reloading is now much faster!
  • PFAUT-457 Add "pfxstream" Live Template, fixed "pfxfind" Live Template

Pricefx Studio 6.3 (builds 201.2816 / 192.2815)

For this release Update Project Libraries.

New Features

  • PFAUT-440 Added support of Quote Types for fetch and deploy.
  • PFAUT-401 Added support of Publishing templates for fetch and deploy. It does not run very fast, performance will be improved in the next release. But we thought it is beneficial to use it already now.
  • PFAUT-352 Possibility to filter objects in the Fetch/Deploy tool window. Note that all selected objects (including not filtered ones) are fetched/deployed.
  • PFAUT-468 "Browse mode": displays the elements or traces results instantly in the PfxResult tool window while moving between the element/trace lines.
  • PFAUT-455 You can now generate the first versions of your Highchart charts using predefined Live Templates in Studio. Just type "pfxhighchart_" in the editor and select the chart you want. Just remember: Highcharts should be used only for small data! Improved live templates for "pfxfind" and added "pfxfindall".
  • PFAUT-465 Added support of navigation to the place of a failed Groovy library element (to a particular source code line, using the ‘via <element>’ information returned in the error message from the backend).
  • PFAUT-463 Improved layout of configurators (all components are aligned to left, frames).
  • PFAUT-464 Each ContextParameter now has a mouse-over tooltip where you can inspect the parameter properties 'name' and 'type'. This can be useful when a 'label' is not the same as the 'name'.
  • PFAUT-448 Added auto-completion support of quoteProcessor.getQuoteView() and cProcessor.getContractView(). To enable this, you need to Update Project Libraries.
  • PFAUT-435 Added support for datamartFilterBuilderUserEntry parameter.
  • PFAUT-464 Added HTML support for ResultMatrix / InputMatrix.
  • PFAUT-410 Element results are now also displayed in a new column in a formatted form.

  • PFAUT-447 Added JavaDoc for the Collins release.

  • PFAUT-443 Added auto-completion support for input builders (requires Collins 5.1 release and higher). Use: api.inputBuilderFactory().createXxxEntry()

Bug & Stability Fixes

  • PFAUT-438 PA SQL console was not properly released and when the project was closed and re-opened, a crash dialog appeared
  • PFAUT-463 Crash of the configurator panel when the configurator had predefined values (using api.getParameter) or when an empty ConfiguratorEntry (without no inputs) was returned
  • PFAUT-463 Crash of BOOLEANUSERENTRY ContextParameter
  • PFAUT-463 Crash of InputMatrix component when the 'selected' property was not defined
  • PFAUT-357 Crash of a dialog when using the objects selection buttons in the Deploy tool, even when the mouse moved over
  • PFAUT-367 When PFX server was down, Studio kept sending the HTTP requests repeatedly (e.g. to gather meta data needed for auto-completion)
  • PFAUT-473 Improved some cases when auto-completion could crash and stop working
  • PFAUT-437 It was not possible to run execution of a second Groovy console, the lock was for all instances
  • PFAUT-445 Improved memory releasing after logic.json editor is closed

  • PFAUT-452 Executing logic using Alt + F5 caused IDEA freeze
  • PFAUT-463 Initial values of configurators (using api.getParameter) were not applied when generating parameters
  • PFAUT-463 ContextParameterInputMatrix used in the configurator was sending a wrong value type (String instead of a List value)

  • PFAUT-449 api.find() as a result in PA SQL console displays a warning instead of a result when the limit of records is reached
  • PFIM-1506 General admin rights were not reflected when fetching Users or Groups

Pricefx Studio 6.2 (build 192.2774)

Bug Fixes

  • PFAUT-431 Recognizing the result data type of out.<element>, introduced in the last release, caused performance problems due to chained elements resolving. Therefore removed.
  • PFAUT-425 Opening logic.json of a workflow step logic crashed
  • PFAUT-436 Debugger crashed when running without a preset name

Pricefx Studio 6.1 (build 192.2760)

Bug Fixes

Pricefx Studio 6.0 (build 192.2758)

The main change is that passwords are not stored in config.groovy anymore, they are stored now in IDEA's password manager (KeePass on Windows, KeyChain on Mac). config.groovy migrated to the new structure. Consider a backup of config.groovy before opening the project in this new Studio version.

New Features
