Project Types
Rich code editor is provided for customization of built-in project types where users can customize how files are categorized in to file types as well their default attribute values.
The project type determines the file types expected to be sourced in the project and the details collected for each file, which is used to build and deploy the file. See Project Types to create custom project type with various file types and their attributes. Custom project type is very useful with various generic plugin operation (Unix & Windows Shell, Jython, Groovy and Python etc.), where you can create powerful custom Package-based Build and Deploy automation.
Saved Query
Saved queries can now be shared Globally or with specific Groups. Users will receive email notifying them about shared saved query.
Additionally, subscribing to saved queries is now supported.
Enabling subscription means saved query will execute on specific schedule and generate CSV or PDF report, which will then be emailed to users that subscribe to the specific saved query.
Subscription is enabled by saved query owner which requires setting of format and schedule. Other users who are shared specific saved query can subscribe to receive emails.
This is supported on mainly on Reports. For example, users can now enable subscription to receive email of previous month’s deployment details.
Application Errors View
Application Errors view is now provided on Admin Operations page. This is only accessible to Administrators. This page will show System errors. Administrators can create saved query and subscribe for email notifications. As such errors are happening in background processing, they may go unnoticed, it is recommended that Administrators subscribe for updates using saved query. These errors are included in 24 hour logs download.
