Disabled Class Data Sharing (CDS) generation during java installation (ISSUE-783441)

java

The Java installation that happens automatically whenever the Java component is updated in STEP used to run -Xshare:dump, which generates shared class data. This is a slight optimization that affects the start-up time of JVM instances. However, there are not many of them in a typical STEP system, and this minor optimization caused problems in certain environments.

Fix for being unable to use spot --upgrade on STEP versions before 2024.4 (RDHELP-8451)

spot

If certain components are installed on a system and spot --upgrade was asked to plan an upgrade that included those components, then it would come up with an upgrade that was not actually possible. The problem was that the requirement for a different Java Runtime was not communicated via the dependency data that spot --upgrade uses to plan upgrades. This has now been rectified by making SPOT create the needed information for the software already on the system and by creating it for the available software, too.

Fix for purging event processor taking hours (HOTFIX-7417, ISSUE-683794)

core

Some problems related to the Revision Management Processing Plugin has been fixed. These problems were both related poor error messages given the the user, when not being able to purge revisions for a node. If you cannot delete any revisions due to there being events for them, you will get the error message "Revisions cannot be purged, because they are used in the following Event Queues: ." However, if the event queue is linked to an event processor, the queue itself will be hidden in the UI and have an ID like "stibo.222" - which is not helpful to the end users. In some cases you would get the above message event if it was not an event stopping events from being deleted but rather because of "branch points." In this case the message has been changed to "Revisions cannot be purged, because they are used as branch points." It would also be possible to get the above error message in some situations when there was nothing to delete. This has also been fixed to not throw an error.

Fix for STEPXML delivers local and inherited references for a node even if the inheritance is set to inheritance and the ref type does not allow multiple references (HOTFIX-7906, ISSUE-735352)
