Changes

Changes in V1.7.0

  • The Simple Search node has been completely revised. It provides far more options to constrain the search and a more complete and precise output.

Changes in V1.6.0

  • A new Set Profiles node has been created which allows you to modify any editable attriibute (and/or tag) of any user within the same organization.
    This node requires to be associated with a LOGIN node attached to a user who has the Profile Administrator role for the organization.
    • If on premises, this means that the user attached to the LOGIN node is in the admin role for the Profile application.
    • If in cloud, this means that the user has the Administrator role for the Organization AND the organization itself has been granted the delegation flag
  • The Get Profiles node can also return, on demand:
    • the profile attributes as they are returned by the Profiles Administration API.
    • the tag Cloud of the user

Changes in V1.5.0

  • The Get Community node has been completely redesigned to return full details of the Community/ies.
    See the node help for more details.
    Note that some of the incoming input attributes may have been renamed.
  • A new Create/Update Community node has been created which allows you to either create or modify a new/existing Community (or Sub-Community). This node allows you to manage the Community Membership, as well as the list of widgets/applications that are part of the Community. It is also possible to set/update the Community Logo image.
    See the node help for more details.
  • The Get Profiles node has been completely redesigned to return full details of the retrieved profiles.
    See the node help for more details.
    Note that some of the incoming input attributes may have been renamed.
  • The previously mentioned nodes, Get Profile, Get Community and Create/Update Community, introduce a new Error Handling approach that makes use of the standard NodeRed Catch Node.
    See the node help for more details.
  • Support for Delegation (X_LCONN_RUNAS) for Cloud POST and PUT operations. This is an experimental feature. In order to enable it, you need to set a global context variable (X_CONN_RUNAS) in the following way: global.set("X_CONN_RUNAS", "node_id:user_id") where node_id is the id of the Login node which performs the delegation and user_id is the id of the user who gets delegated

Changes in V1.4.1

  • The Get Files node now returns also folders (optionally in a recursive way)
  • We added an Upload File node that enables uploading files to HCL Connections. The node supports uploading a file into the user's library and into a community's library.
  • The Get AS node has been limited to returning 20 entries by default. For this reason we added the parameter count for specifying the maximum number of returned entries.
