A potential cross-site scripting (XSS) security issue with login.jsp has been fixed. The fix involved removing support for auto-login from iWD to GRAT. iWD customers must disable this support in the iWD Manager, because it will no longer work after this fix is applied. To turn auto-login off:

  1. Log in to iWD Manager.
  2. Click the Profiles option.
  3. Remove the GRAT URL from the Genesys Rules Authoring Tool URL field and save this change.

The Rules Authoring option that allows single sign-on (SSO) to GRAT will no longer display. (GRS-2627)

Previously, when users were working with database parameters, if the database connection recovered from a temporary outage, users could not see any parameters in the drop-down list until the GRAT server was restarted and the user logged into GRAT again. With this modification, GRAT attempts to reconnect to the database if the connection has dropped, and a hard restart of GRAT is no longer required. However, users must log into their GRAT client again to re-initialize the database parameter values.(GRS-2490)

New in This Release

This is a hot fix release for this product. This release contains no new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


GRAT has been modified to validate LATEST packages before deployment (in the same way as snapshots are validated), and prevent deployment if errors are found. Any such validation errors are now displayed to the user for correction. Previously, such validation errors were pushed to Configuration Server, causing it to fail in cases where the error data was very large. In addition, if for any reason GRE fails to validate a package, there is now a 4K limit on the size of any error text sent to Configuration Server. (GRS-2279)


Deployments were failing in environments where GRAT was front-ended by a firewall or load balancer whose external port was different from the GRAT application server's. This issue has been corrected. (GRS-2278)


GRAT has been changed to warn the user and to prevent deployment if the Configuration Server connection is down at the time of deployment. During deployment, GRAT checks to ensure that all rules in the rule package are associated with a valid node of the business hierarchy. For example, the “Sales Department” node might have been deleted when there are several rules associated with that node. In this case, GRAT warns the user during deployment and moves these “orphaned rules” to the package level. Previously, if the Configuration Server connection was down during deployment, the cross-check against the business hierarchy did not occur and all rules were considered orphaned. (GRS-2260)


A problem with importing templates and rule packages on certain UNIX platforms has been corrected. (GRS-2205)

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


GRAT now writes only the root cause to the log file. Previously, both the root cause and the repository connection details were logged. (GRS-2156)


GRAT's startup routine has been modified to ensure that GRAT starts correctly when configuration option clear-repository-cache has value true. Previously, empty directory files were not correctly cleaned up, resulting in GRAT failing to start in this scenario. (GRS-2153)


Users can now refresh the Deployment History tab display by clicking the Deploy Rules node in the navigation tree in the left-hand navigation pane of GRAT. (GRS-2149)


A new Force Deployment checkbox has been added to the Deploy Now and Schedule Deployment dialogs to enable users to force a deployment that bypasses duplicate deployment checks. (GRS-2148)


The Check My Permissions feature now displays only the templates a user has access to. Previously, some templates continued to display after access rights had been removed. (GRS-2140, GRS-2088)


Some minor formatting issues in localized versions of GRAT have been corrected. (GRS-2150, GRS-2152)

New in This Release

There are no restrictions for this release. This release contains no new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


Previously, when rule templates were imported as an XML file, an additional template "version" was also created in error. This no longer happens. (GRS-2023)


A problem with excessive log messaging between GRAT and Message Server has been corrected. The log4j.properties has been modified to log only warning and error messages from the DefaultExpander and from JackRabbit. Also, the logging in BRTemplateInterface of asset locking and loading have been changed from standard to debug. (GRS-2022)


A problem with the export of rule packages causing exceptions when the user did not have TESTSCENARIO_VIEW permissions enabled has been corrected. Users can now successfully export a rule package even without this permission. Genesys recommends that users who need to export and import entire rule packages should have full permissions granted. For example, if users do not have the ability to view business calendars or test scenarios, these will not be exported in the rule package XML. Likewise, if a user does not have permission to create calendars or test scenarios on import, they will not be able to create these resources from the imported rule package. (GRS-2027)


GRAT now correctly removes all related snapshots when deleting a rules package. Previously, if a rules package containing a snapshot was deleted, then a new one re-created with the same name, the snapshot would appear in its menu. (GRS-2038)


When a snapshot is created, package DRL is now stored within the snapshot, which speeds up deployments to single or clustered GREs. (GRS-2041, GRS-2075)


A problem with the performance of rule package imports in release 8.1.300.15 has been corrected. This was caused by the generation of superfluous audit comments for individual package components. (GRA-2060)


An occasional problem with scheduled deployments failing has been corrected. This was caused by repository access errors when the package was being used by more than one thread. (GRS-2042)


GRAT performance when using very large rule packages has been improved. Save, import and deploy operations are now substantially faster and unexpected database growth issues are now resolved. (GRS-2067, GRS-2068, GRS-2074)


A problem with saving rules when using operational parameters has been corrected. The change was required as a result of upgrading from DROOLS 5.1 to 5.5. (GRS-2073)


The export of rules that contain empty values to Excel spreadsheets now correctly leaves blank values where the empty values occur. Previously, a space was entered in error instead. (GRS-1437)

New in This Release

This is a hot fix release of this product. This release contains no new features or functionality.

Corrections and Modifications

This release contains the following corrections and modifications:


A problem that caused Unable to find business structure errors to occur during rule package deployments has been corrected. This was caused by excessive configuration event processing in GRAT, and by an unnecessary double-fetch of the DRL file by GRE during deployment requests. (GRS-2034)


ADDP support can now be activated for the application's connection to Configuration Server. To activate it, edit the bootstrapconfig.xml file found in the WEB-INF\classes directory and un-comment the line that references ADDP. This line is as follows:

‹!-- ‹addp clienttimeout="30" servertimeout="30" /› --›

(GRS-2007, GRS-2026)


The option protocoltimeout can now be added to the cfgserver section of bootstrapconfig.xml. This file is found in the WEB-INF\classes directory. This value is the timeout used for Configuration Server requests (in seconds). It is used for requests on both the application connection and the user connection to Configuration Server. The default timeout is 30 seconds.

Example:

‹protocoltimeout›30‹/protocoltimeout›

A problem with invalid date formats during deployment in non-English locales has been corrected. (ER# 321808963)


Security improvements have been made to GRAT to prevent the possibility of cross-site scripting attacks. All servlet application parameters are now cleaned of any possible malicious HTML tags and scripts. (ER# 318547501)


To improve security, GRAT now uses a POST request between the login.jsp and the login servlet application. Previously, a GET request was used. (ER# 317067686)


Problems with assigning role privileges in GRAT have been corrected. Previously, since 8.1.1, a workaround required the renaming of the Annex tab section from CfgBusinessRulesApplication to CfgBusinessRulesApplication. This workaround is no longer required. (ER# 318462695)


GRAT now deploys correctly into Websphere 7.0 without the need for a workaround. See Known Issues and Recommendations. (ER# 317449931)


GRAT now reconnects correctly to LCA after LCA is restarted. Previously, this reconnection failed, resulting in the application status not being updated in SCI. (ER# 323985242)


GRAT now correctly connects to the backup Message Server, and then correctly reconnects to the primary Message Server, in scenarios where the primary connection fails and is restored. (ER# 323051261)


A problem with Tomcat's shutdown processing when a user is still logged in has been corrected. All users are now logged out during shutdown processing. (ER# 318450275)


A problem with a failed rule deployment resulting in a Websphere thread hang has been corrected. A timeout has been added for the deployment POST request. If no response is received in the specified time, the POST will fail with a timeout. The default timeout value is set to 5 minutes. Configuration option deploy-response-timeout can be set if a different timeout limit is required. (ER# 318532571)

Corrections and Modifications

This release includes the following corrections and modifications:


Login to GRAT when the connection to the primary Configuration Server has been lost and switchover to the backup has occurred now functions correctly. Previously, GRAT tried in error to establish a connection with the primary Configuration Server when a user logged in, and the login failed. (ER# 308327976)


A problem that caused GRAT to incorrectly build the XML that is returned to the browser when an operational parameter was used in an action has been resolved. (ER# 303413221 )


The mapping.xml file has been enhanced to allow a tenant mapping to be specified. iWD tenant names can now be mapped to CME tenant names via this file.

Note: The mapping.xml file is used only for migration from iWD 7.6. For migration from iWD 8.0 the CME tenant ID as specified in the iWD database determines the CME tenant. (ER# 300118922)


Shutdown processing has been improved to ensure the correct shutdown of a standalone Tomcat application via the shutdown.bat script. (ER# 300695905)


Additional logic has been added to map a solution name to a valid Java name for the package. Previously, it was necessary to change the name of an iWD solution before running a GRS Migration Tool, if the name included a number after a space. This workaround is no longer required. (ER# 300201547)


The default display time for all locales is now 12:00. Previously, some locales displayed a PM default time. (ER# 310134527)


An additional error message has been added for login failures caused by the maximum number of connections being reached. Previously an authentication failure message was displayed. (ER# 299683122)


Rules copied to another package now no longer keep the original calendar name. Another calendar must be chosen in the destination package. (ER# 302150961)


The Cancel button on the General tab of a rules package is now enabled only in the correct contexts. (ER# 301433592)


Worktime calculations based on the Business Calendar where a business rule with a workday that spans midnight is running are now correct. (ER# 298532001)


A problem with edits to rules being saved in error after a request to cancel them has been resolved. (ER# 300194972)


Names of rule templates are now displayed in the correct color. (ER# 300930932)


The sorting arrow now behaves correctly in the rule's body tab. (ER# 301433596)


Display of a rule's body tab headers has been corrected to prevent the display of lines. (ER# 301620652)


When iWD 7.6.1 or 8.0 rules are migrated to Genesys Rules System rules 8.1.x, the order of the rules at each node in the business structure is now correct. The previous workaround is no longer required. (ER# 300314633)


Discrepancies between browsers in the sort order of tenants in the tenant drop-down menu have been corrected. (ER# 301433573)


Re-ordering rules at a node of the business structure now correctly updates the Deploy Rules node tree in the navigation tree. (ER# 300390041)


Semi-colons in rule package descriptions are now displayed correctly and no longer cause a line break. (ER# 303883521)

Known Issues and Recommendations

This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.


Start dates in the Simulated Time of test scenarios might be processed incorrectly where differences between user-selected timezones and server timezones exist. (GRS-2113)

Found In: 8.1.301.06 Fixed In: 

The deployment of large rule packages to multiple Genesys Rule Engine nodes can take several minutes to complete. In this case, Genesys recommends using the Scheduled Deployment feature so that you do not have to wait for the operation to complete. You can schedule the deployment for 1 minute in the future. If you prefer to do a "Deploy Now", you should make sure that the session-timeout configuration setting is long enough to prevent your session timing out during the deployment operation. (GRS-2072)

Found In: 8.1.301.01 Fixed In: 8.1.400.07

When a current calendar time falls outside working hours, the day is considered in error as a non-working day. (GRS-1410)

Found In: 8.1.300.15 Fixed In: 

The file type of a rule history that is exported correctly as .XLS is recognized incorrectly by the browser as .XML. (GRS-1406)

Found In: 8.1.300.15 Fixed In: 8.1.301.01

If a user has Test Scenario - View permission, but does not have Test Scenario - Execute permission, the Run Test Scenario button is still visible, though the user will not be able to successfully execute the test. (GRS-2001)

Found In: 8.1.300.15 Fixed In: 8.1.301.01

It is possible to resize the browser window in such a way that certain buttons may become hidden, even after restoring the browser to its original size. Users can restore the buttons by refreshing the browser. (GRS-1340)

Found In: 8.1.300.15 Fixed In: 

Documentation:"Last-modified-by" data and all rule audit history are not part of the rule package (or rule) export. So, when re-importing an exported rule package, the user doing the importing becomes the new owner of each rule created. Package and rule history are not maintained. The imported rules is considered a new rule package with new history starting from the point of import. (GRS-2010)

Found In: 8.1.2 documentation Fixed In: 8.1.4 documentation

For security reasons, GRAT does not allow any HTML commands to be entered as parameters of a rule. For example, if a condition is:

Customer requests a callback on {day}

and {day} is defined as a string, we would not allow a rule author to enter the string:

Customer requests a callback on ‹b›Tuesday‹/b›.

All HTML constructs will be removed from the string. This applies to string parameters as well as dynamic list parameters such as business attributes, database or web service. (ER# 311219763)

Found In: 8.1.200.17 Fixed In: 

For the Genesys Rule Authoring Tool 8.1.2 to be deployed properly on Websphere Application Server 7.0, you must modify the web.xml file before deployment as follows. The web.xml file can be found inside the Genesys Rules Authoring Tool .war file in the installation directory. You can modify it with a zip/rar program such as WinZip.

At the bottom of the web.xml file, locate the following code:

‹listener›

  ‹listener-class›com.genesyslab.brs.brgui.servlet.SessionManager‹/listener-class›

  ‹listener-class›com.genesyslab.brs.brgui.servlet.ServletManager‹/listener-class›

‹/listener›

Change this to read as follows:

‹listener›

  ‹listener-class›com.genesyslab.brs.brgui.servlet.SessionManager‹/listener-class›

‹/listener›

‹listener›

  ‹listener-class›com.genesyslab.brs.brgui.servlet.ServletManager‹/listener-class›

After the iWD 7.6.1 or 8.0 rules have been migrated to Genesys Rules System rules 8.1.1, the order of the rules at each node in the business structure will be inverted from the order that was configured in 7.6.1 or 8.0. (Within a decision table, the order of rows are migrated correctly.)

Workaround: Reorder the rules to match the original order, by using the up and down arrow icons. (ER# 300314633)

Change the name of an iWD solution before running a GRS Migration Tool if the name includes a number after a space. For example, change names like Solution 1 to Solution1. (ER# 300201547)

When iWD 7.6 Rules, Templates and Business Structure are migrated to 8.1 Genesys Rules System, the default method of mapping iWD tenants to the Configuration Manager tenant is by matching names. If the one-to-one mapping of iWD tenant name to Configuration Manager tenant name does not exist, migration will fail.

Workaround: To ensure rules migration completes successfully, temporarily change the tenant names in the iWD Manager cmc_tenant table to match the tenant names that exist in Configuration Manager.

Note: If you are using a single-tenant Configuration Manager, each iWD tenant must be mapped to the single Resources tenant (ID = 101) in Configuration Manager. (ER# 300118922, 300045918)
