Technical Benefits

iShare Studio

  • iShare Maps and iShare GIS now use different user names for iShare and SDW database connections. Login roles are are restricted to connect to only one database.

  • Studio no longer prompts users to enter missing Data Share connection details on startup. Instead users will be alerted to the missing connection configuration every time Studio is started until they are correctly entered.

  • Data Share no longer uses OLEDB for connections to PostgreSQL, including the local iShare database. This means there is now a new dialog available when creating a Standard Datasource reached by selecting 'PostgreSQL' next to the 'Configure' button.

  • Workflow Spatial Data Transformation Tasks should now cope with copying a database table to another database without changing the name.
  • Opening a Scheduled Task in Studio will no longer cause an error in Studio if the OK button is clicked on in the Scheduled Task dialog.
  • File-based SDTs should now be able to be configured and no longer throw errors.
  • Studio should no longer crash when large numbers of layers are turned on in the Map Source Map Viewer.
  • Workflow Jobs with associated Scheduled Tasks should now be able to be renamed without error.
  • Replaced the code to read in the upload data with one that does a simple file line-by-line file read to improve performance.

iShare Publisher

  • Fix spelling errors in Publisher error message.

iShare Maps

My House / My Nearest

  • Fix problem where My House would never load selected Layer Groups if they hadn't been marked as Visible on Startup.

iShare GIS

  • Fix printing to PDF not working for WMTS Basemaps.

Web Services

  • Created SDWEditor role and assigned it to iShare_ETL and iShare_WebService.
