IXIA CCMS DESKTOP

Note: For CCMS Desktop, only the dropins need an update. No server configuration updates are required. To upgrade: remove your existing dropins, download the new dropins into your dropins folder, and extract them.

  • [DEV-13914] CCMS Desktop sometimes had performance issues when right-clicking on a map in DITA Map view and clicking Sub-tree > Release. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-13665] Using the Select in map action from the Search Results view, the selected topic was displayed twice in the map in DITA Map view. Users had to restart CCMS Desktop for the map to display correctly. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-13475] For an image that was localized and set to Localization:done (or equivalent end status), editing the image in the authoring cycle and localizing it again did not show the updated image in the localization kit. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-13474] When localizing an image that was previously localized, the CCMS would sometimes export the previous image in the localization kit and use the old image metadata when importing the localized images. This issue has been fixed.

Bug Fixes

IXIA CCMS WEB

  • [DEV-12891] When generating output in CCMS Web in a Standard deployment, existing ditavals did not display for the user to select. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-12658] CCMS Web did not retain the context map when a topic was left locked and not checked in. This issue has been fixed.

IXIA CCMS DESKTOP

Note: For CCMS Desktop, only the dropins need an update. No server configuration updates are required. To upgrade: remove your existing dropins, download the new dropins into your dropins folder, and extract them.

  • [DEV-13316] When a map was open in DITA Map view and a user clicked Select In Map on a topic, the CCMS went into an infinite loop. This affected maps that had <keydef> elements that referenced submaps. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-13106] In CCMS Desktop, when there was a view opened in fast view mode and a user clicked an icon on the Oxygen toolbar, the editor window closed. This issue is fixed.
  • [DEV-12945] In CCMS Desktop, clicking the Locate button in a warning or error dialog box did not automatically close the dialog box. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-12761] The auto-translate feature for the concurrent localization method sometimes incorrectly added English content to the localized topic. If a block element had an attribute change in authoring and its structure, such as the number of text elements, was different between the translation and the source, it would end up with only its inline elements auto-translated. This issue has been fixed and the entire block element is not auto-translated.
  • [DEV-12759] When importing images into CCMS Desktop using File > Import > IXIASOFT CCMS > Import Images With Multiple Formats, the CCMS sometimes stopped working. This issue has been fixed.

  • [DEV-12188] Users were unable to clone topics when the title contained < or & characters. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-11862] In a Standard deployment, users were able to publish a map without entering a tag even though tags were configured as mandatory in the system/conf/publishtags.xml configuration file. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-7543] Pre-localization kits for the Concurrent localization method included PDF outputs. This issue has been fixed and PDFs are only included with a regular localization kit.

IXIA DYNAMIC RELEASE MANAGEMENT

  • [DEV-12696] In a DRM deployment, users were unable to insert a cross-reference to a topic that existed in multiple versions when one of those versions was a different instance. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-9687] In a DRM deployment, users were able to execute simultaneous Create New Instance actions on a map which created two maps with the same primary version. This issue has been fixed.

IXIA OUTPUT GENERATOR

  • [DEV-13171] Some libraries were missing from the Output Generator conf/classpath.conf configuration file. This issue has been fixed. The numbering has changed in the main classpath.conf file, so customers who have added their own library should re-number them in their conf/client/classpath.conf configuration file.
  • [DEV-13164] If an authoring map was changed by moving or removing topics, the Build Manifest output for the localized version of the map was based on the topics in the authoring map. It did not match the structure of the localized map. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-13119] The Output Generator packager failed when a map from a snapshot referenced a ditavalref containing keyref attributes. For example, <ditavalref format=”ditaval” keyref=”uma1564153361708″ processing-role=”resource-only”/>. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-12937] The Output Generator did not delete files in the temp folder when debug mode was turned off.
  • [DEV-12927] The 6.1 Output Generator sometimes failed to return output to the client without an error message. The Error Log view showed a CORBA.COMM_FAILURE error. This issue has been fixed.
  • [DEV-11008] When exporting a map in DRM, the format=”ditamap” was missing on the ditamap keydef. This issue has been fixed.

IXIA SCHEDULER

  • [DEV-12615] The Scheduler Daily Activity Report did not correctly display the title for topics authored in Japanese. This issue has been fixed.

  • [DEV-12460] In CCMS Desktop, when performing a Replace with Server Revision for an object that was locked and modified, the Dependencies view was not updated. For example, after adding a topic to a map and then reverting the addition, the Dependencies view still showed the topic as a child of the map. This issue has been fixed.
