Problems following upgrade from 2.5.1 to 3.0.0

I have a number of issues since upgrading from 2.5.1 to 3.0.0

1. Dashboards are missing. If I click "Dashboards" in the Administration Module, the dialog doesn't even update, it's like it simply doesn't exist!

2. Sorting on Master/Detail pages does not match the Class being viewed and cannot be configured in the Administration module. The sorting seems random.

3. Can we please have Master/Detail tabs back. It's now a real pain to get to, requiring either the Card to be opened, or a couple of clicks on the menu, so you can't now flick between Cards with the Master/Detail page visible. Guessing that Inline might have something to do with this, I tick and save this, the setting is not saved.

4. Where have all the configuration files gone? I had auth.conf set up for LDAP authentication, if I place the files in the Tomcat\conf\cmdbuild folder, they get deleted when Tomcat starts... where is this configured now?

5. The configuration for the Relationship graph seems to have vanished, and I can find no way of re-uploading my icons.

6. When I upgraded, logging in resulted in errors relating to a missing _default Menu. I resolved this by manually creating a menu of this name in the Administration module. Other users might find this information helpful.

7. Where is the documentation for 3.0.0? It's not helpful releasing a new version with *NO* documentation. 

Hi Chris,

3. "Can we please have Master/Detail tabs back. "

>>I agree with you. Previously they were useful and easy to get to.

 

5. "The configuration for the Relationship graph seems to have vanished, and I can find no way of re-uploading my icons."

>> I searched everywhere and couldn't find it either.

 

6. "When I upgraded, logging in resulted in errors relating to a missing _default Menu. I resolved this by manually creating a menu of this name in the Administration module. Other users might find this information helpful."

>> How did you create a menu with the name "_default". I can only select a group and specify the actual menu options. I can't specify a name for the menu.

 

7. "Where is the documentation for 3.0.0? It's not helpful releasing a new version with *NO* documentation."

   >> Completely agree. We should at least have the Technical Manual to know how to install and migrate.

There's none, and it's a shame !

When I click on Menus in the Administration menu, a "Add Menu" button appears on the right tab. Click this, then type _default into the Group name and click Save, This then changes to *Default* in the Menus tree and all the errors go away - well it did for me, but I had no custom menus before upgrading.
Hi Chris,
 
  It worked, thanks.
 
Marco.

1)
You can refer to the User Manual page 89. We plan to restore dashboards in version 3.2 (autumn 2019).
2)
This is a known bug. If possible it will be solved in version 3.1 (early July) otherwise in version 3.2. The solution will no longer be based on the alphabetical order of the TAB labels, but on the ordering (drag & drop) of the domains associated with that class.
3)
This is not currently an expected feature.
4)
All configuration files, except obviously "database.conf", are automatically imported into a PostgreSQL table (_SystemConfig). This was necessary to support clustered configurations.
5)
The icons are loaded on each class (as in version 2.5). If you are reporting a bug in the upload we will verify your report.
6)
We will verify your report.

The Overview Manual was published on 12/4 (release date 3.0), the User Manual was published on 12/4 (release date 3.0), the Webservice Manual on 2/5, the Administrator Manual on 7/5, the Technical Manual (for now the first chapters) on 9/5.

Re 3)
Can we at least have all the icons visible on the ribbon at the top? There are five icons hidden under ... for no reason I can see.

I have re-imported the images, but they do not appear in the client.
 
Previous versions had a upload/images folder you could simply copy back in if you upgraded. There appears to be no such folder now. Does that mean we have to re-import icons on every upgrade?
3)
Your proposal is different from the CMDBuild standard, where the icons in the grids are repeated on each line (otherwise it would not be clear which card of the grid should be open in the popup to view it or modify it or clone it).
Returning to your previous post, however, we are reconsidering the possibility of using the TABs of the inline display in the grid to show (in read-only) notes, master / detail, relationships, attachments, etc.). After the 3.1 release we will think better about this.

5)
Regarding the loading of icons, we have an open issue, which will be solved in version 3.1 (early July).
The icons are now loaded into the database (required for clustered configuration), so it is not necessary to reload them on every update.
In future versions, a function will be added to upload / download them massively in ZIP format.
