Purpose of the hotfix:

 

This hotfix addresses the following issues (plus those in 9.0.3.1):

 

• Loopback chained action sometimes results in multiple redundant action requests. (Metastorm \# SR-02032011-0002, DEF16033) 
• Performance issues on loading a Form in the Web Client when OutputCacheTimeout is enabled. (Metastorm \# SR-01252011-0005, SR-01252011-0006, SR-01252011-0007, DEF15986, DEF15987)  

A new entry UseQuickResize setting has been added to the Web Client’s web.config file to improve performance that allows performing a quick but less accurate resizing of forms:

 

 

The setting can be switched off by setting the value to 0:

 

 

• Loopback actions do not populate the eToStage value in to the eEvent table. (Metastorm \# SR-01312011-0012, DEF15972) 
• In an SSO configured environment with operation logging disabled, or in a non-SSO environment with operation logging enabled, the following error message is displayed while opening a Form having a Status control with drill-down options: "No Engines are available in the Metastorm BPM Server service". (Metastorm \# SR-02042011-0001, DEF16069, DEF16087) 
• Flagged action does not execute on Form load. (Metastorm \# SR-01052011-0004, DEF15868) 
• In the Web Client, Grid control does not refresh its contents correctly when the Grid is dependent on another control (such as Drop-down control) and a selection is made in the dependent control to update the Grid contents. (Metastorm \# SR-01262011-0005, DEF16336) 
• In the Web Client, after filtering a Custom List using a value, removing the filter by using ‘No filter’ does not restore blank value in the filter field and instead retains the value that was entered to filter the list. (Metastorm \# SR-01262011-0013, DEF16043) 
• In the Designer, the following error message is displayed during search if there are Swim Lanes in the search results: “An unexpected error has occurred within the Designer.” (Metastorm \# SR-02112011-0006, DEF16329) 
• During serialization or de-serialization using the JSON JavaScriptSerializer, the following error message is displayed: “The length of the string exceeds the value set on the maxJsonLength property”. (Metastorm \# SR-01202011-0008, DEF16432) 
• Performance issues due to lack of client-side caching of attachments and images. 

A new entry UseBrowserCache setting has been added to the Web Client’s web.config file to enable caching of images and scripts from the engine eAttachmentTable on the client browser:

 

 

This setting can be switched off by setting the value to 0:

 

(Metastorm \# SR-01252011-0005, SR-01252011-0006, SR-01252011-0007, DEF16482) 

• In the Web Client, rendering time of Form with Grid control needs improvement. 

A new entry TelerikPatch setting has been added to the Web Client’s web.config file to improve performance:

 

 

This setting can be switched off either by commenting it or removing this entry from the web.config file.
