View Component

View Component is an ACI server. For details of changes that affect all ACI servers, see ACI Server Framework.

25.2.0

New Features

  • View can now read an AES key for data encryption directly from the new AESKey configuration parameter in the [DataEncryption] section. Previously, it was only possible to read an AES key file from disk (configured with AESKeyFile).

    You can use this option to import a key directly from a secret source, such as an environment variable or HashiCorp® Vault. The key protects access to your encrypted data, so OpenText strongly recommends that you do not to supply it as a plain text configuration value. Setting a plain text value returns a configuration validation error, but does not prevent the server from starting up.

  • View has been updated to enable it to use NiFi-2 for connector communications.

Resolved Issues

  • The ProxyPassword configuration parameter in the [Viewing] section accepted only plain text passwords. You can now encrypt this password with the autpassword command-line tool in the same way as for other passwords. Refer to the Knowledge Discovery Administration Guide. to be encrypted (previously, they would only accept this parameter as plain text).

  • When on-disk data encryption was enabled, a viewing request with OutputType set to Raw could return an incorrect value in the Content-Length: HTTP header field.

25.1.0

New Features

There were no new features in this release.

Resolved Issues

  • A View request with highlighting and Boolean set to False could fail if the highlight text consisted entirely of non-ASCII characters.

  • When using Universal Viewing, retrieving metadata for documents with a large number of sections could be overly slow (possibly causing timeout errors, in the worst case).

24.4.0

There were no new features or resolved issues in this release.

24.3.0

New Features

  • When you request a raw file (OutputType set to raw), View Server now respects the HTTP Range: header on the request, and returns a Partial Content (HTTP status 206) response. This change can improve the viewing of video files served from View server.

Resolved Issues

  • View was unable to retrieve certain binary files from NiFi or Distributed Connector when OutputType was set to raw.

24.2.0

New Features

There were no new features in this release.

Resolved Issues

  • In the default rendering mode (that is, when LegacyRendering was turned off), multibyte Unicode characters were sometimes displayed incorrectly.

24.1.0

New Features

  • Two new KeyView options have been added as View configuration parameters to allow you to more easily set the output format for vector and rasterized embedded graphics:

    • OutputVectorGraphicType

    • OutputRasterGraphicType

    For a full list of available options, refer to the IDOL View Component Help.

    NOTE: These configuration parameters are not available when you set LegacyRendering to True. However, you can use the associated KeyView options in a Viewing template, including the new KVGFX_SVG option.

Resolved Issues

  • Some View actions failed with a HTTP 400 error when the URL returned a redirect response with a #anchor URL fragment.
