Gemsstock Sprint 15: Mail Notification and Code Camp

Christian Strebel

The main goal of this sprint was to go forward in the notification topic. Beside that we had a Code Camp 🏕️ in the mountains ⛰️ with many interesting topics.

Mail Notification

We work hard on the notifications topic and are able to send notifications also via mail. This works now seamless also in Axon ivy Designer. Therefore we have removed the Mail Preferences in Axon Ivy Designer, you can also change these settings in Engine Cockpit directly - no need to transform this view to the new Web based designer. The mail channel is disabled by default and needs to turned on manually.

Furthermore, we also have implemented the tracing when sending mails.

We've started with a documentation, here:
https://dev.axonivy.com/doc/11.2/engine-guide/configuration/notification/index.html

Notification Subscription

Operators and Users need to be able to manage subscriptions of the different kinds of notification channels and corresponding events. Therefore, we are implementing the possibility to configure this service.

On the level of security systems, operators can configure the default settings of notification subscriptions in the ivy.yaml file or over a UI in the Engine Cockpit, while users will be able to override these settings as they please. By now, configuration of security systems has been implemented, while configuration on user level is still pending.

Web-IDE Update

For workspace management, we have implemented REST endpoints that allow us to create Security Context and deploy Ivy Projects. Deployed projects can be accessed via Developer Workflow UI. For process execution, a manual creation step is required at this stage.

Audience

Axon Ivy Developers

Value

Application and Security Context per workspace
properly deployed Ivy Projects including roles and users
executable Processes after manual build step

Discussion

Any questions / feedback?

Next steps

Developer Mode of Axon Ivy Engine
- Run Ivy Project in Dev/Preview Mode like in traditional Designer
- Add Developer Workflow UI view

S3 as blob storage provider

Finally, we have a CC-ready (Cloud Cluster ready) solution for files! I finished my Code-Camp topic from last year and have properly implemented S3 as blob storage provider.

See here for more details:
https://community.axonivy.com/d/524-s3-production-ready

Attention:

ch.ivyteam.ivy.workflow.document.IDocumentContentReader.asJavaFile() is deprecated
ch.ivyteam.ivy.workflow.document.IDocumentContentReader.asIvyFile() is deprecated
and is not working when you have configured S3 as blob storage!
