The new features of Smart Materials Classic are separated by module.

Administration

  • Standard report parameters accessing project default values get an equivalent BIR Command in the A.30.05 Parameters screen. (CR-MA61615)

  • Menutype 'PORTAL' added to administration screens A.30.01 Menus (including A3001LOV) and A.30.03 Roles/Menus. (CR-MA72453)

  • The A.60.45 DBMS Jobs functionality will now use the ORACLE dbms_scheduler package instead of the deprecated dbms_job package to schedule and maintain database jobs.

    The following changes in A.60.45 have been implemented to reflect the changes in the ORACLE job processing architecture:

    1. The field ORACLE_JOB_ID has been replaced by the field ORACLE_JOB_NAME. The name is generated automatically by adding the internal ID of the job record in A6045 to the string 'SMAT_'. This name will remain the same even when the user de-installs and reinstalls the same job.

    2. Existing job definitions with a valid ORACLE_JOB_ID will be migrated to the new scheduler functionality automatically.

    3. It is no longer possible to mark a job as broken to stop the execution of this job. The Broken checkbox will only show the information from the system whether a job is broken. The user can instead just de-install the job and reinstall it when needed. Please note that the DBMS scheduler routines keep the information about past executions of a job with the same name, so after de-installing and reinstalling the user will see the information about past execution.

    4. For jobs that are executing the next date will be empty until the job has been completed.

    In A.60.10 Early Warning Queries the results of the Validate Settings button will now show the information provided by DBMS scheduler about defined and running jobs.

    SAP 20.01 Transfer Jobs now also uses dbms_scheduler for its internal processing.

  • Removed display of expiration date and company number. (CR-MA74641)

  • Removed display of expiration date and maximum available licenses in A.30.04 License Modules/Menus. (CR-MA74662)

  • Post import script is no longer version specific, it can be used for previous versions as well. (CR-MA74687)

  • A.10.51 Email Templates

    Now additional tokens also are available for the template types 'B2B' and 'OTHERS'.

    Note: To determine the token result there are two parameters you can use: the inquiry ID <inq_id> and the supplier ID <sup_id>.

    You can use any statement that is limited to these two IDs, but the result of the statement can only return exactly one result.

    To see an example how to use the parameters please open A.10.51, press the Additional Tokens and then the Help button.

  • The DBA setting SECURE HTTP will now determine whether calls to websites (for example online help and file downloads from the application server) will be executed with http or https protocol. The default value will be http, if no value for the DBA setting is defined.

    Note: Using https will require the appropriate setup of the application server.

    (CR-MA76768)

  • To support domain passwords longer than 10 characters for the file upload to a share in D.10.11 and D.90.21, A.20.05 Users now offers the possibility to define a separate password for the domain. This can be done in the following way:

    On the field 'OS User', a context menu (mouse right click) will open a separate window to define this password.

    This menu is enabled under the following condition:

    • A user who doesn't have the privilege 'CHANGE USER PASSWORD' can only modify his own password.

    • A user with the privilege 'CHANGE USER PASSWORD' can change the password of any user.

      The password can be up to 127 characters long and is always case sensitive.

      If this domain password is not defined for the domain user who is used for the file upload to a share (as defined in A.10.38 File Destinations), then the Smart Materials password (which can be up to 10 characters long) will be used.

      (CR-MA78302)

Documentation

  • Physical file upload to a share in D.10.11 and D.90.21 will now display a modified message when a file with the same name already exists including file name and Smart Materials user who last uploaded the file. (CR-MA78555)

E&PI(BOM)

  • Performance tuning for find ident functionality. (CR-MA71329)

General

  • Recompiled all Smart Materials and Smart Reference Data forms, menus and libraries for the use with Oracle Forms version 12.2.1.4 (after which the source files are no longer compatible with version 12.2.1.2 which was used before). (CR-MA68102)

  • Password encryption mechanism changed from the outdated DES to AES. (CR-MA70325)

  • New location smaticon.jar file for GetClientInfo.class. (CR-MA77484)

Licensing

  • New DBA setting KEEP_APX_USER_SESS to specify the number of sessions of the same login user which should be kept. Default is 999 if not set or invalid. The specified number of sessions remains. In case of 0, only the currently-logging-in session will continue, all other sessions of the same user name will be removed and their licenses are returned if any. In fact, saving licenses from waiting for the idle timeout is the rationale behind this change. (CR-MA74867)

  • Allow auditing and SQL tracing. (CR-MA75801)

  • Pull BIR license for traditional (pre V10) pages if BIR license module is activated. If it is not activated, do not try to get a BIR license, but keep the license which is already in use. (CR-MA75838)

MSCM

  • P.20.01 Suppliers/Subcontractors - Qualification Questions tab

    A.20.49 Approval Sequence

    New DBA setting QUALIFICATION_REV_APPR_MAIL introduced to control emails on reverse approval of qualification. If QUALIFICATION_REV_APPR_MAIL is set to Y (default), emails are sent if qualifications approval is reversed. Else, emails are not sent. (CR-MA71907)

  • P.30.22 Commercial Evaluation: Window 2, RFI/Clarifications tab

    After saving a technical RFI question or answer, three new checkboxes are available in the emaillist dialog: Originator, Approver, Released by, which are marked by default. If you do not want to send an email to any of the three email addresses, clear the concerning checkbox. (CR-MA62607)

  • Harmonized the way how Smart Materials sends out notification and/or approval invitation emails upon submittal of revised company profiles and qualifications via the Smart Materials Portal.

    In detail, when working with DBA settings COMPANY_PROFILE_APT and QUALIFICATION_APT in order to establish a single approval sequence for approving company profiles (or qualifications, respectively) as a whole, once a company profile (or qualifications) revision of a given company has been approved successfully then Smart Materials will only send out notification emails to all members of the respective sequence upon submittal of higher revisions. The approvers may then revisit the newly submitted revision and document their approval or concerns with regards to the changes in that revision in the approval sequence screen as usual, but no further approval invitation emails will be triggered.

    If COMPANY_PROFILE_APT and QUALIFICATION_APT remain unspecified in order to leverage question-level approval (i. e., the scope of approval sequences is always limited to a single answer in the company profile or qualifications questionnaire), then upon submittal of a higher revision the approval procedure is re-initiated for a question with assigned approval sequence if and only if the answer has changed in comparison to the earlier revision. This means that approval invitation emails will be sent out as usual when members of that sequence take action, and serves the intention of dedicated evaluation of answers given to questions that have been singled out as crucial by assigning an approval sequence to them in the questionnaire setup.

    Note: This patch fixes a small bug found in the body of custom package m_pck_mail_custom. Thus, in case you have applied customizations to that package ensure that you properly merge them into the updated package body after installation. (CR-MA65829)

  • With ZP_NEW_EXP set to Y, both predicted and actual traffic arrival date of an item shipment are now populated from the respective expediting dates. (CR-MA75917)

Site

  • Added non-display field GROUP_BY_IND to table M_MATL_ISSUE_RPTS and screen C.20.23.02 MIR by Direct Issue (Group by), to be able to differentiate data created on C.20.23 and C.20.23.02. (CR-MA64047)

  • BEFORE_UNPOST_MIR procedure added to M_PCK_SITE_CUSTOM package to be able to write conditions before unposting MIRs. (CR-MA65543)

  • New project default introduced for handling of Create MIR from SRR By Reservation Run. (CR-MA66180)

  • Function WRITE_MRR_BY_TRAFFIC added to Site API to create Material Receivings by Traffic. The Material Receiving is made automatically by using this function.

    Additionally, procedure set_api_ind added to adjust api_ind on m_user_securities based on project and discipline. (CR-MA75161)
