OL Hub Release Notes V1.53

Release Date: 21 June 2022

Create modules in the OL hub

The release features another milestone in moving the asset generation workflow to the Hub and introduces the ability to create a module directly from the OL hub Module catalog. Similar to the test asset command that moved in recent releases, the ol create module command is still operational in the CLI. 

Custom expression tester

The current release features a new testing tool enabling you to ensure that your custom expressions deliver the expected results without resorting to a third-party debugging tool. 

OL Hub KeyCloak integration

Starting with this version, the OL Hub User authentication mechanism can fully integrate with the enterprise KeyCloack identity and access solution.

Method flow canvass enhancements

• Numeric type condition rules: Up to the current version, the method flow condition step included rules that check whether a field contains a string with specified attributes. The current release introduces a new rule type that checks whether a numeric value is part of a predefined value set. 
• Empty input or output steps: Some use cases require that the method flow output or input steps be empty of fields. Therefore, this release includes the option to declare a step as 'empty' explicitly.  

CLI Commands enhancements

• New option value validation type: CLI commands can now prevent users from entering an option value when the value is not equal to one of the predefined values in a set. 
• Cobol inner fields support: The Openlegacy COBOL parser can now support COBOL fields that only accept a group of predefined values (88 records). As a result, OpenLegacy can issue a warning when a COBOL application field receives an invalid value.  
• Ignore property flag: Users can now instruct a parser not to include a specified option in the generated asset.
• Program path override: Users can now change the value of the program path field in PCML data sources to enable using the asset in different environments.
