News overview

dqMan 22.2 is out now! Besides the frequently requested offline license activation, the maintenance release provides helpful feature improvements like enhanced DFC auto-detection and UI themes consistency.

Features

• Offline license activation (read more here)
• Option to change current license (read more here)
• Command line tools dqDQL and dqAPI for executing DQL and API Scripts called from shell scripts/batch files
• Code folding/collapsing/outlining in DQL Editor
• Refactored DQL code parser (improved syntax highlighter, auto-complete)
• Copying code from dqMan preserves syntax highlight colors when pasted into applications supporting HTML text (Microsoft Office, webapps in webbrowser, etc.) -useful for emailing or documenting code while maintaining easy readability due to syntax coloring
• Custom tab colors for highlighting/marking individual tabs
• Session functions for flushing the various cache types (main menu Functions/Flush Caches)
• Edit Java and DFC paths directly in the UI in case the auto-detect algorithm fails to detect some of the required prerequisites’ locations on first start

Improvements, Changes

• Improved Script Editor to automatically jump to where the script got paused during execution (having been manually being paused, hitting an error or reaching a breakpoint)
• Improved Script Editor to detect the script type (DQL/API) when scripts are dropped into the editor (prevously this only worked for scripts opened directly from Script Navigator)
• Improved column auto-spacing for Connections Panel in Object Navigator
• Improved performance when saving/loading (very large) queries to session user history
• Improved/changed navigation in History Panel to be consistent with currently active history item and History Back/Next buttons in the main toolbar
• Improved Favorites and Session/Object Functions lists to display an additional column stating the source of the respective item (Default, User or Shared configuration file)
• Improved Favorites and Session/Object Functions lists to also be able to export Shared items when using Export to File improvements to auto-complete of dqMan user defined API variables when the cursor is between %…% characters in API Script Editor, Generate Script (API mode), API code in Object/Session Functions
• Improved UI light/dark themes’ consistency across various user interface elements where theme specific colors did not exist previously or were not always applied correctly (certain texts, scrollbars, grids, highlight colors etc.)
• Improved DFC auto-detection when dqMan is deployed directly on a Content Server machine
• Improved description and organisation of Result Grid/Data Grid context menu item Mark Lines and its submenu items to make the intended purpose and usage of these commands less ambiguous
• Consolidated dqMan translation and identifier definitions to dedicated configuration files dqManTranslations.xml and dqManIdentifiers.xml. Previously these elements could be defined in multiple existing configuration files, often containing redundant information.
• User editable templates of these files are also provided in the %appdata%\dqMan\config folder

Fixes

• Fixed issue where the Jobs window would behave inconsistently when refreshing, sometimes resetting the state of all the controls to default
• Fixed issue with slow refresh (several seconds) of Jobs window
• Fixed issue with scripts using *nix/LF type line endings
• Fixed CSV export from Results Grid failing to export non-latin characters correctly to the resulting file
• Fixed issue with script files opened from Script Navigator displaying only the first line immediately after having been loaded
• Fixed issue where dumping another object from an already opened dump window threw an error saying the object was not accessible, despite the dump being performed and the data being displayed correctly
• Fixed some scaling issues when using multiple monitors having different scaling settings and moving dqman dialogs between them
• Fixed issue where copying and pasting a value from the Result Grid into the DQL Editor inserted a new line after the value
• Fixed an issue where changes to a license on the server were not registered by dqMan
• Fixed an issue where dqMan was unable to save the session query history files if the Documentum user name contained characters which Windows did not allow to be used in filenames
• Fixed an issue where searching in the History Panel would automatically add unwanted partial search terms to the search history as the user was typing the search terms
• Fixed issue where the History Panel list/scrollbar could get “stuck” to the mouse cursor following and reacting to the cursor’s movements even though the cursor was elsewhere in the application
• Fixed issue where trying to Search in the Compare Objects window threw an access violation error
• Fixed issue with the Script Editor where dragging and dropping a script file would throw an error unless the Script Navigator had been opened previously
• Fixed DQL Editor throwing “Missing right parenthesis for statement Options” error in some cases when running queries containing template fields
• Fixed non-working Go To dialog opened from Result Grid header row context menu item “…”
• Fixed issue where the Favorites tree in the Repository Navigator would get populated with the same Favorites items more than once
• Fixed 2 crashes that could occur while the dqMan process was loaded in memory at addresses above the 4GB range (triggered by right-click action in Script Log window and spinner control in Import from File/Clipboard dialog)
