Creation of new services¶
Data Models¶
The Data Models has been removed and has been replaced with the Data Models service.
Note
Implementation Engineers should remove the Data Models menu entry from the traditional b2box UI. Instead, they should use the new Data Models UI provided by the Portal.
On startup, the new service will import all existing data models from the old b2webapp.
Warning
Since the name of data models cannot contain a dot anymore, all the dots will be replaced during migration by underscores. However, existing transformers and scripts that use data models with dots will continue to work without modification.
Example: .configuration becomes _configuration
Tables¶
The Tables adapter has been removed and has been replaced with the Tables service.
Note
Implementation Engineers should remove the Cross Reference Tables menu entry from the traditional b2box UI. Instead, they should use the new Tables UI provided by the Portal.
On startup, the new service will import all existing tables from the old adapter.
Permissions update
To follow the new permission convention, the crossref permissions have been changed into tables.
You’ll also need to add the permission tables=read to get the data.
Implementation Engineers should rename all the old permissions just after the release!
