Revision 1238: Progress Animation Fix
The progress animation is causing the scrollbar to disappear in certain situations for some users and is failing to be removed for others. The creation and removal logic of the progress animation popup has been reworked.
Revision 1239: HTMLContent And Hyperlink Fixes
The target attribute is failing to get applied to the Hyperlink control and an extra span tag is being added to the HTML of the HtmlContent control in certain scenarios. The HTML generation for the Hyperlink and HtmlContent controls has been reworked.
Revision 1241: ECC Multi Server Fix
Sending large amounts of data to ECC when multiple servers are set up results in the pieces getting sent to different servers instead of all to one. A client ID loo kup has been added to make sure all data gets sent to the same ECC.
Revision 1237: Open Window URL Trim Fix
The last character of the URL used by the OpenWindow service is getting trimmed. The JavaScript functions and the service code have been updated to send the URL exactly how it should be used. This was also done for the hyperlin k control in classic applications.
Revision 1236: ECC Alarm Timeout Fix
ECC instances are being kept in the queue to be used after the alarm has determined it is timing out. Code has been added to send a proper disconnect message for the ECC instance that is timing out.
Revision 1230: GetUDC Key Filtering Fix
When the GetUDC services have un-cached values and have keys to filter on it can, in certain cases, time the service out. The WHERE clause set up in the service has been modified and cleaned up to happen right before the query is run.
Revision 1231: HTML Encode Dynamic Property Value Fix
When a property is set dynamically and has the HtmlEncode checkbox checked, it is currently being ignored. The property value has been changed from getting escaped which was preventing the HTML encoding.
Revision 1227: Default Button in List
Setting the default button of a text box inside of a list does not work if that button is also in the same list. The default button configured for a text box in a list now starts in the same list index of the text box before looking outside of the list.
Revision 1229: Loop Global Variable Fix
LoopGlobalVariable's are failing to be passed in on all iterations of a loop under specific conditions. Reformatted how the variables are set for each loop.

Created new API's for the NoCode upgrade list.
Revision 2639: Resend Registration Fix
The resend registration button on the User Management does not properly add the query strings to the end of the URL. Logic to pass the query strings to properly form the URL.
Revision 2640: Process Lookup Fix
The Process Lookup page does not factor in how PSEN arrays are stored and so is limited in its lookup capabilities. The queries used to incorporate the PSEN arrays have been modified for proper searching
Revision 2637 and RunTime Revision 1240: User Dialog Escape Fix
The UserDialog service currently does not escape the contents used in its popup modal window. Characters like the apostrophe break the window. The modal window contents now get escaped so that the given text can always be used to form the popup window. Proper recommended output for the service has also been added.
Revision 2635: ResizeObserver Error Message Fix
The ResizeObserver throws a warning which is no longer suppressed. The suppression code has been updated to hide the unnecessary warning.
Revision 2636: Control Name Modification Fix
When the control name on the WebPart or MVC canvases is modified by solely changing letters between cases is prevented unless another action is taken with it. The restriction has been removed for changing the letter case for a control name in both MVC and Classic applications.

The Social Intent live chat widget now prefills the name and email fields based on the logged in user's saved information.
Revision

Revision 2626: New Application
BatchJob Fix
The Copy Applications BatchJob can fail to end in certain instances and is causing high memory usage on the App Server for the environment. The logic related to certain loops in the batchJob has been reworked to prevent infinite loops.
Revision 2627: Property Editor
Enhancements
The property editor has received the following improvements to its search bar: The search text now stays and auto-searches when a new control is selected. Multiple properties can be searched for at once using a space to separate each word. Using [v], [val], or [value] will return the entire list of properties with a value set. Using [d], [dyn], or [dynamic] will return the entire list of properties with a dynamic value set.
Revision 2628:
SetControlProperty Recommended Values Fix
The PropertyName node in the SetControlProperty service is failing to load its recommended values. The loading logic for this particular node has been reworked and now it shows all properties for the control type of the given control name.
Revision 2629: Undefined in Parameters Fix
The Logic Canvas s parameters are loading the text of undefined before the actual parameters. A check has been added to verify that the parameters are ready to be loaded in.
Revision 2630:
Read Only Control Events UI Fixes
The Control Events UI is not friendly in read-only mode. Several values are editable, though they do not save, scrollbars don t scroll, and it s hard to navigate. The disabling and scrolling have been reworked to be friendly in read-only mode. Parameters values now display a tooltip text to help with long values and model values.
Revision 2631
: Task Property Fix
When a task s high priority is changed the UpdatedOn column gets updated to 1/1/1900 12:00:00 AM instead of the actual current time. The insert queries have been updated to properly set the time in the database when the High Priority property on a task is updated.
Revision 2622:
New Object List Spelling Fix
When adding a new object list on the ObjectLists page, the REST option says 'Rest API Verb instead of 'REST API Verb . The text has been changed to 'REST API Verb to match the rest of the site.
Revision 2623 and RunTime revision 1226: Static Textbox Title
A new property has been added to the Textbox control called SlidingTitle. Setting it to "False" will always keep the title at the top of the Textbox. This property defaults to "True". In order to utilize this property, the style.css file in the application needs to be updated. Find this existing section
CODE: SELECT ALL
This section needs to be updated with 3 additional selectors to look like this:
CODE: SELECT ALL
Once this is added the property will start working as expected.
Revision 2624 and RunTime revision 1228: New Service QueryInvoice
Implemented a new service called QueryInvoice. This service takes an InvoiceId and an array of queries and returns the desired result based on the Text, which is the question/phrase. It can also take a comma-separated list of pages to search on.
6. ECC Revision 137: IBM Connection Table Loading
Added a check for the ECC IBM connections for loading the tables. If the tables fail to load, then a specific query will be run to grab the tables.
In this month's employee spotlight, it gives us immense pleasure to introduce you to Sean Davis, a valuable member of our K-Rise Team. With 5 years of invaluable contributions, Sean has played a pivotal role in K-Rise Systems! Sean is a true asset to our organization. We're proud to have Sean on our team, and we can't wait for you to learn more about him!
Can you tell us a bit about your background and how you ended up in the tech industry? College, Past Jobs, etc…
I wasn’t completely sure what I wanted out of a career when I started college, but after taking a computer science class in my freshman year, I knew I wanted to pursue something in the tech industry. As I took more classes in the computer science department, I realized I enjoyed working through problems and coming up with solutions based on a given set of requirements, and knew I wanted to do something like that full-time once I graduated.
What is your current role at the company, and what are your primary responsibilities?
Currently, I primarily handle support issues for a number of customers and occasionally work on new feature requests for those customers as well. My typical week will often consist entirely of working with these customers on issues they have raised concerning their production websites, while other weeks may be more focused on developing and delivering new features for a particular customer.
Employee Spotlight-Sean
What projects or initiatives are you currently working on that you’re particularly excited about?
At the moment, I’m spending a lot of time working on upgrading some of our older AWS servers to run on Windows 2022. This has been a significant task which has required quite a bit of troubleshooting and documentation. There have been a lot of unexpected issues during this process, which I’ve had to research and find solutions for.
Can you share a recent accomplishment or success story from your work?
We recently solved an ongoing problem for a customer that had been periodically coming up for a while. Some functionality on the customer’s website would briefly give errors for roughly 30 to 90 minutes. There was no discernible pattern to the outages and functionality would always come back with no intervention from either our side or the customer’s. Eventually, we realized that the Java program responsible for running business functions was trying to reach a closed port on the customer’s server. The Java program would attempt to reach specific ports based on site traffic, with the port number increasing based on website traffic. When there was a lot of traffic and a higher port number was reached, the port would not accept our incoming request. We worked with the customer to open the required ports and prevent these outages going forward.
Outside of work, what are some of your hobbies or interests?
I really enjoy playing guitar during my free time! I’m definitely no Eddie Van Halen, but I like to think I’m decent enough to play along to some songs I like. Sometimes when I’m stuck on a work-related problem, I’ll pick up a guitar and play for a couple minutes to clear my mind. It’s surprisingly effective at giving me new ideas for troubleshooting whatever problem I’m stuck on. I think a lot of people would agree that spending some time away from a challenging problem and coming back to it later will often give you a new perspective on the problem, and a quick guitar break will do exactly that for me.

K-RISE INFOCUS SESSION #2
Michelman Using Orchestration to Transition from Standard JDE Scanning Solutions for Manufacturing.
Michelman is a global developer and manufacturer of specialized sustainable chemistry used in agricultural and architectural coatings, digital printing, food service packaging, and advanced composites for automotive and aerospace. From helping grow food and keep it fresh, to making vehicles lighter and more fuel efficient, to shielding our homes from the elements, Michelman‘s environmentally conscious solutions protect and enhance the materials that shape our world.
Trisha Muir, Michelman Director of ERP long realized status quo batch work order processing had to be improved. One primary reason was the need to improve visibility to the necessary PPE, hazards, and process instructions before starting to manufacture a batch and capturing the acknowledgment from the operator.
Michelman was able to add validations within the process to minimize waste, improve safety metrics, and reduce off-spec batches resulting in cost savings. Sustainability is one of Michelman’s core values; digitizing the paperwork order helps them to achieve their goal of reducing the use of paper globally.
Functionality includes full Work Order Edit of: Parts List, Process Instructions & Quality Tests with improved automation of Machine/Labor hours, and Quality test data.
Other functional elements include Audit, Inventory Look-up, Inventory Transfer, enhanced Media Object Integration, and the ability to store “Comments” and “Versioning” of Media Object revisions.
