WorkflowGen 7.16.0

Announcements Release Notes & Downloads

Important known issue

  • The /wfgen/hooks incoming webhook application was raising a Workflow Service start failed error when executed in a production or development environment.

    To fix this issue, update the \wfgen\hooks\dist\config.js file by replacing the maxPageSize setting’s undefined value by an integer value (line 149):

    maxPageSize: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test' ? 150 : undefined

    to

    maxPageSize: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test' ? 150 : 100

  • Regression issue where the built-in form (FORM_HTML) was replaced with an empty form after saving the process definition in the Information tab. This issue (bug #2884) has been fixed in the release 7.16.3.

    If you have already upgraded your WorkflowGen to version 7.16.0 or planning to upgrade a previous version then we recommend installing version 7.16.3

Reminders

  • Oracle database is no longer supported as of WorkflowGen version 7.16.0. We recommend migrating to MS SQL Server 2017 or later.

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is no longer supported as of WorkflowGen version 7.10.0. While SQL Server 2008 is still compatible with WorkflowGen, support for any performance issues or bugs resulting from using SQL Server 2008 will no longer be provided.

    For clients currently hosting WorkflowGen on a database server older than MS SQL Server 2012, we highly recommend upgrading to MS SQL Server 2017 or 2019 for the best performance.
