TIF 2016.3.0 Release Information

03 February 2017

1. General

1.1. Java 8 Required

As of this release, TIF now requires Java 8.

The ENOVIA client JAR is still compiled for Java 6 meaning that you can connect TIF with an older ENOVIA version.

2. New features

Below are the new features as of this release.

2.1. Configurable Create/Update Integration - Input Format Support

The create/update integration now supports other input formats that just XML.

You can for example use a ZIP file, containing the create/update information along with files that will be checked-in to objects in ENOVIA.

There is also support for using JSON and CSV data directly. Such data will automatically be transformed into XML.

E.g. the supported formats are

  • XML

  • JSON

  • CSV

  • ZIP, which contains data in any of these formats

    • XML

    • JSON

    • CSV

For XML data, you may also use an additional transformation step to convert the data into a different XML format.

Note also that the ZIP format allows including additional files that may for example be used for checkin during processing of the data.

2.2. File / Directory Listener

The file/directory listener can be configured to either delete the file(s) after processing completes, or, move the file(s) to a configured done or error folder.

Also, some improvements has been made under the hood, for example allow processing any existing files in the directories being watched during startup of TIF and process the events in a separate thread in order to prevent overflow events to occur due to slow processing.
