Summary
The following enhancements and changes have been made as part of the 2026.1 update:
-
Throughout STEP, exporting using the Excel format no longer indicates the Excel 2007 version. It is recommended to use the newest supportable version of Excel with STEP data imports and exports.
-
The GraphQL schema documentation is updated to clearly indicate the preexisting limit of 100 on the list condition input for searches and queries. The schema documentation now also indicates that searches for assets, classifications, entities, products, and attributes are limited to 10,000 results, and that sorting is applied to the objects returned. Refer to the GraphQL API section of the Technical Documentation, available at [URL]/sdk or accessible from the Start Page. Additionally, GraphQL traffic information is no longer written to the 'graphql_execution.*.log', improving performance and reducing space requirements. GraphQL call execution is logged in the activity log in System Administration. Refer to the Logs topic in the Administration Portal documentation.
These enhancements and changes have also been made as part of the 2026.1 update and are described in the Details section that follows:
-
Event queues (EQs), outbound integration endpoints (OIEPs) and event processors (EPs) now enforce a maximum 14-day retention period for event data. This enhancement reduces stored data volume and improves overall system performance, particularly for organizations managing high-volume integrations.
Details
New retention period limit for EQs, OIEPs and EPs
On Asset Push event queues (EQs), outbound integration endpoints (OIEPs) and event processors (EPs), the 'Days to Retain Events' parameter determines how long events are stored after they are processed. Stored processed events can be republished, for example, if they are lost by the receiving system. However, storing an excessive number of processed events is detrimental to system performance.
A 14-day retention limit for new Asset Push EQs, OIEPs and EPs ensures that event data does not accumulate unnecessarily over time. Additionally, the 14-day limit is enforced when importing a STEPXML configuration for an OIEP or EP or when manually editing an existing OIEP or EP with the 'Days to Retain Events' parameter set to greater than 14 days. System administrators should review their current retention settings to ensure they align with operational requirements and take advantage of the performance improvements.
For more information, refer to the Creating and Maintaining Asset Push Event Queues topic in the Digital Assets documentation, the Creating a New Event Queue topic in the System Setup documentation, the Event-Based OIEP Event Actions topic in the Data Exchange documentation, and the EP - Configure Event Processor topic in the System Setup documentation.
