Forms

  • Memory leakage is observed when using a form with a Pop-Up control.
  • When a Lookup Item contains a field/column with the "&" character in its value, then the Lookup, which is configured in a Data Lookup control in Forms, does not populate the Extended Information.
  • Localized values for controls in Forms, such as Date, DateTime, and so on are not displayed in localized format in InTouch.
  • In the Data Grid control in Forms, if the Auto-load Grid property is set to Never, then the On Data Bound script runs more than once.
  • List with Attachments when used in workflows does not allow to copy the XML variable values from the Form XML to the List XML variable.
  • When the Move or Copy Item activity under Microsoft SharePoint Activities is executed in a workflow, and if the source list (document library, custom list, and so on) has a Person or Group type of column containing two or more users with the same display name, then the target list updates the respective Person or Group type of column with only 1 user instead of 2 or more users with the same display name as present in the source item.
  • If the Number control is configured with more than 4 decimal places and at the run time, the control is set with a value having more than 4 decimal places, the following error message appears:

    Input String was not in a correct format.

Work Tasks App

  • Date time values to be displayed based on locale settings while using the Work Tasks App.
  • Date mismatch in work items accessed via the Work Tasks App.

Continuous Improvements

  • Workitems are not assigned to users when the roles assigned to the users belong to multiple trusted domains.
  • In repositories with multiple providers, the entries for actor for second provider and user mappings are not created in the SKVirtualActor DB table during certain scenarios.
  • Error message in the WWSKLogger Console does not show the lookup name while fetching the data for the stored procedure lookup.
  • The WorkItem Detail View page crashes for a Work Activity when:
    • The page is opened using "Work Form" from the context-menu of a WorkItem picked from a queue.
    • A WorkItem is opened from the Inbox, by double-clicking the WorkItem picked from a queue.
  • With the multiple timeout setting configured in the Choice activity, if the workflow is paused and resumed several times, the multiple timeout output occurs more than once.
  • When you install the custom list using an existing table, the list table was not being displayed in the Existing Table list box in the Create List - Select Table page
  • The End Activity fails to kill any Activity which has been executed more than once and the latest activity execution is in the ‘Sleep’ status.

Other Information

This section contains important information about the known issues and limitations for Wonderware Skelta BPM 2017 release.

Known Issues

You might come across the following issues when you work with Wonderware Skelta BPM.

  • General
    • After upgrading to Wonderware Skelta BPM Connector for Microsoft SharePoint 2016, the Skelta Inbox web part added in BPM 2014 will not be rendered. This issue occurs due to the removal of the 'QueueDisplayOrder' and 'WorkflowDisplayOrder' properties, which have the 'SortedDictionary' data type. This data type is not supported in Microsoft SharePoint 2016. To resolve this issue, you have to delete the Inbox web part and add it again in the Microsoft SharePoint 2016 site.
    • When you generate a package, which has package template created before upgrading to Wonderware Skelta BPM 2017, the password entered for the artifacts in the target details are not encrypted. Hence, the artifacts are not installed. To resolve this issue, reenter the password in the Settings form of the respective artifact and then regenerate the package template.
    • In the Archestra IDE environment with Windows 10 operating system, the scripts are not getting modified or added in the Forms 2011 Script Editor.
