Version 6.2.3

New features

This release contains the following new features:
Microsoft Entra ID support
Support has been added to enable Drive connections to Azure Blob Storage using Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) with client secret credentials. When the ebx.addon.dama.azure.tenant.id, ebx.addon.dama.azure.client.id, and ebx.addon.dama.azure.client.secret properties are set, the connector authenticates via Entra ID. Otherwise, credentials default back to a storage account key. This added support enhances security (least privilege, rotation, auditability) by avoiding broad shared key usage. See the Azure connection documentation for details.

Improved metadata display
The Digital asset information tab now shows additional metadata: file size, image width, and image height.
  • Size is displayed in human-readable units (e.g., 1024KB → 1MB, 1024MB → 1GB).
  • For image and video assets, width and height are shown when available.
Usability improvements
Improvements in this release include:
  • Users can now perform folder management actions directly in the Folder navigation pane without leaving the view. This streamlines common workflows and reduces context switching. Available actions include:
    • Creating a new folder in a specific Drive.
    • Creating a new subfolder inside a folder.
    • Editing a folder name.
    • Deleting a folder (subject to permissions).
  • Users can now rapidly de-select assets in the Manage digital assets screen. Clicking anywhere in the workspace outside of asset thumbnails, or list rows now clears the current asset and folder selection.
Asset metadata synchronization
Asset metadata background synchronization has been included for assets added via a third-party server. This ensures the Digital asset information tab displays accurate dimensions for externally synchronized assets and improves consistency across Drives.
Font mapping support
Support has been introduced for custom Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK) font mapping in document previews. Administrators can provide a font mapping JSON file via the ebx.addon.dama.cjk.font.mapping.file.path property to map CJK font names to installed system fonts. This improves text rendering quality and coverage for CJK in DOCX-to-PDF conversion and other document preview workflows.

Attention:
As the add-on is undergoing revision, the documentation's images and descriptions of some components might not exactly match the current UI.

Changes in Functionality

Generating an asset permalink now opens a pop-up dialog showing the URL in a read-only field with a copy action and feedback. Previously, permalinks were generated silently without a dialog.

Changes to third-party libraries

This release contains the following changes to third-party libraries:
  • Added com.drewnoakes:metadata-extractor dependency at version 2.19.0 to improve image and media metadata extraction (dimensions, EXIF).
  • The Apache Commons Lang library was updated to version 3.20.0.
  • io.netty:netty-all was updated to version 4.2.9.Final.
  • com.azure:azure-identity was updated to version 1.18.1.
  • Jackson Core was updated to version 2.21.1.
  • Jakarta Servlet was updated to version 6.0.

Closed Issues

This release contains the following closed issues:
  • Assets are uploaded normally even when navigate away before clicking Upload or Upload and attach.
  • When using the REST API and updating or creating a record with no attached assets, the getAttachment response is incorrect.
  • When a preview cannot be generated, the No preview available screen should display instead of a file not found error.
  • The collapse/expand icon is missing in record details view when using the list view to display thumbnails.
  • The tooltip for the File size column in the Digital asset version table is incorrect.

Known Issues

This release contains the following known issues:
  • After a media type field is set to Hidden in all views and the data model is published, it is no longer possible to upload or edit assets in that field. This issue occurs even after permissions are set back to Visible in all views and the model is re-published.
  • The add-on is not stable when deployed on a WebLogic application server. Fatal errors can occur when trying to use the add-on's services. The root cause is under investigation.
  • When uploading assest from a Connector, the add-on is not able to recognize duplicate assets that were uploaded (not using the add-on) to an externally managed server.
  • It is possible that some DOCX file previews might not generate when Microsoft Word is not installed. This is due to missing font files.
  • If the Cancel button is clicked during a delete operation on 100 or more assets, the operation is not cancelled and assets are still deleted.
  • When attempting to delete assets from 2 Drives in the same operation and one of the Drive's has an authentication issue, the displayed result states that all deletions failed. However, some assets are still deleted and the asset thumbnails in the UI display a File not found error.
  • In certain cases the add-on is not able to preview DOCX files. This can occur when the file contains invalid characters, or unsupported elements, such as charts, floating tables, or other complex elements.
  • In instances where PPTX files contain complex shapes, the add-on cannot generate a preview. This is due to a third-party technical limitation.
  • The first time a large file is previewed, users might experience a delay while the preview is generated.
  • Searching for assets in the media-type field using quick search is not supported. However, when previewing some file types, such as PDFs, you can search for text within the file.
  • The configuration is not updated for the supported file extensions after users access the Digital Asset Manager widget.
  • Document previews cannot display Vietnamese text.
  • When accessing assets in an external Drive, error messages may display when selecting all assets. This can be the result of access limitations put in place by the third-party tool.
  • Thumbnails of some uploaded SVG files do not display correctly.
  • Previews of PPT, PPTX, DOC and DOCX files cannot display charts due to a limitation of the library used to generate the preview.

Version 6.2.2

New features

This release contains the following new features:
  • As a convenient way for an administrator to get an asset's UUID, it now displays in the UI as one of the attributes when viewing an asset in the Digital asset table.
  • New REST API endpoints enable programmatic management and interaction with folders. This enhancement aligns folder-related REST operations with existing UI capabilities, improving automation and integration potential. Most endpoints for POST, PUT, and Delete were previously available, but were refactored to accommodate folder-related actions. This release includes the addition of new endpoints were added for GET search and download:
    • /v1/folder/{dataspace}/{dataset}:search
    • /v1/folder/download
  • Previously, the Drive screen only supported a grid view, limiting the amount of visible information per asset and number of assets displayed. Users needed to open asset previews or access the Version management tab to see more details. Now you can switch between Grid view and List view in the Drive screen. The new List view displays assets and folders in a table layout with extended details, offering improved information visibility without requiring additional clicks.
  • The file size limit for document previews was increased from 5MB to 20MB. Additionally, parts of the document can be previewed without waiting for the entire file to load.
  • The documentation now includes instructions for encoding special characters in REST calls. See the Developer Guide > REST overview section for details.
  • Performance was improved:
    • When deleting digital assets.
    • For operations on dataspaces, such as creation, deletion, and dataspace merge.
  • Usability improvements:
    • The top level of the Folder navigation pane now displays Drives. Users can browse and access folders within different Drives directly from the navigation pane. This change improves navigation by allowing direct access to all available Drives without requiring additional steps or context switching.
    • To make it easier to find a tag when filtering assets in the Drive view, tags now display in alphabetical order.
    • A progress bar was added to communicate the real-time status when deleting and uploading assets. Additionally, individual assets now also display progress indicators during the upload process.
    • After asset deletion or upload completes, the following statistics are now displayed for the total number of: processed assets, successfully deleted/uploaded assets, unsuccessfully processed assets.
Attention:
As the add-on is undergoing revision, the documentation's images and descriptions of some components might not exactly match the current UI.

Changes in Functionality

This release contains the following changes in functionality:
  • The TIBCO EBX® Digital Asset Manager Add-on no longer supports previews for Word 2003 DOC files. The add-on continues to support preview functionality for Word 2007 and newer DOCX files.
  • Previously, retrieving an asset's current version via the Java API always returned the version marked as current in the Drive. This behavior has changed. The API now returns the version that is current in the context of the specified dataset, which may differ from the Drive's current version.

Changes to third-party libraries

This release contains the following changes to third-party libraries:
  • Updated Apache POI and related libraries (poi, poi-ooxml, poi-ooxml-full, poi-scratchpad) to version 5.4.1.

Version 6.2.1

New features

This release contains the following new features:
  • The REST API was updated to allow retrieval of an asset using its UUID. The endpoint for this API is: http:///ebx-addon-dama/rest/v1/asset/:getInfo
  • You can now share an asset via its URL. This allows you to share assets with colleagues that might not have access to EBX®. The URL link expiration time defaults to 30 minutes. However, an administrator can adjust this limit in the ebx.properties file using the ebx.addon.dama.rest.token.timeout property.
  • When an administrator imports a ZIP file to an internal Drive, the folder hierarchy is now preserved. If an imported folder already exists in the Drive, you can choose to replace the existing folder, or keep both. Please note that this feature is not available for externally managed Drives (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Sharepoint, etc.).
  • A new transformation function was added to the TIBCO EBX® Data Integration Add-on that exports asset file names, instead of their UUIDs. This provides a more streamlined approach to automatically attaching assets with CSV or Excel import operations.
  • When searching for assets in a Drive, you can now switch between the Exact and Contains modes. The selected mode determines whether the search operation only returns results that exactly match the keyword, or that the results only include the search term.

Version 2.2.0

Released: November 2021

New features

This release contains no new features.

Changes in Functionality

This release includes the following changes to functionality:
  • When configuring a Drive, you now select from a list of available connectors instead of Drive types. The following connectors are available in this release:
    • Default connector: Allows you to create a default Drive where asset storage and management tasks are handled by the add-on.
    • External manager: Allows you to use the API to connect to an externally managed storage location.
  • The Editor is now the Drive view and you can no longer edit asset metadata from this view. All functionality, apart from editing, in this view remains the same. You can now access editing features by:
    • Selecting an asset's information icon when viewing a record.
    • Using the Manage digital assets service (available to administrators).
  • Modifications to assets are no longer autocratically global in scope. Changes are now either isolated, or applied globally depending on your access rights, and where you initiate changes. When changes are isolated, they only impact the current dataspace. For example, when you make changes in a child dataspace, they do not propagate to the parent. Global changes are propagated to any location where an asset is used. If you:
    • Are a business user and access edit functionality from a record's details view, any changes you make are isolated to the current dataspace.
    • Have administrative privileges and access edit functionality using the Manage digital assets service, changes apply globally. Note that as an administrator you can still edit from a record's details view if you want to keep your changes local.
    Note:
    The above behavior applies to all asset-specific information, except tags. Changes to tags are always applied globally.

  • When uploading multiple files, asset thumbnails now display immediately after upload of that asset is complete.
  • A Drive can now be configured to access an externally managed storage location. For example, assets might be stored in the cloud on Google Drive or AWS. Alternatively, you might already use a third-party tool to manage digital assets but, you want to enable data model access to these assets. Note that API implementation is required for these types of use cases.
  • To improve user experience in certain deployment environments, Spring configuration has been moved from hybrid to pure Java.
  • It is no longer mandatory for Digital Asset Components to have associated tag clouds.
  • A result page now displays after running the Delete all assets in Drive service.

  • Enable upload and deletion of assets.
  • Attach and detach externally managed assets to EBX® data model fields.
  • Display externally managed tags.

Known limitations

This release contains the following limitations:
  • When accessing assets in an external Drive, error messages may display when selecting all assets. This can be the result of access limitations put in place by the third-party tool.
