New and Noteworthy in TD/OMS V10.1
| 01029 - Show normally ended remote transfers in a separate node | Besides the abnormally (*TERM) transfers the normally (*NORM) ended transfers are now shown in their own node.

|---|
| T00108 - Xref Integration | Xref is a fast and usable source code search and cross reference engine. Xref helps with searching, cross-referencing and navigating project sources. It understands more than 35 program file formats (C#, PHP, Java, Scala, JavaScript, HTML, SQL etc.) and can index files not recognized by their extension as plain text files, allowing (free) text search on these files also (for example .rpgle). Xref Guide.

New and Noteworthy in TD/OMS V10 Milestone 3
| T00139 - LXR ReST Provider Generator | This milestone we will ship with the first version of the TD/OMS OpenAPI specification. You are able to generate OpenAPI specifications from your database definitions. The real power comes in combination with the LXR ReST Provider Generator by ReST4i. This module enables you to expose your data through a ReST interface and create the OpenAPI specification contract and RPGLE API in one fluent interface. To generate a provider API, select a file or table from the components view and open the "New" menu to select the LXR Provider API generator.
Explore all the possibilities in our OpenAPI Generation Manual.

This filter will always bring the tasks within that range without having to come back to specify which date is 1 month ago and 1 week after today. It is also possible to choose a date as the middle date that is not today or even specify the number of days instead of choosing one of the available periods.

If both buttons are selected then only the terminated detailed components of the selected task will be displayed.
|
|---|
| I00889 - TimeFlash interface can handle copying of an existing data file and creation of a new file without data copy in the same transfer. | The TD/OMS interface TimeFlash has been based on a series of Action and Action Group definitions. The procedure has been always enabled to support file transfers with and without a data copy at the same time. There is no need for supplemantary Actions and Action groups to control a file transfer, that should not take part of the Promoter data copy.
Some improvements of TimeFlash interface have been made to add a more robust control of exceptional error situations. The TimeFlash interface will automatically switch to the standard file transfer process, when a source data file is not found at the location according to the definitions. |

| Hour Registration upgrade merged in kernel upgrade | As of TD/OMS version V10.0 the Hour Registration module upgrade is included in the kernel upgrade, therefore a separate upgrade for the UR module is no longer needed.
|
|---|
| New User Exit program for automatically processing Connection lists outside the current TD/OMS application. | If your objects have been registered in more than one TD/OMS Application, a common result of a Connection rule that processes one or more object relationships, will be a number of connection lists containing objects in different applications.
In a common way those connection lists can only be processed one by one. Also before manually starting that connection list process you have to verify a Task is ready in the Application of interest to accept the object content of the connection list. Starting from V10.0 this Solution maintenance activity of multiple steps can be automated by adding user exit program OMUSCNLST in your TD/OMS server installation. To activate this function copy or rename program OMUSCNLSTR in your TD/OMS library to program OMUSCNLST. If connection list processing will find that program in your library list, the process will proceed with the following steps:
Remind that any connection list is always related to one single user which is its creator user profile. This optional mechanism of connection list processing requires some strict conditional settings:
|
|---|
| New substitution variables related to IFS file objects, when used in definitions of Actions or definitions of Compile Type code commands | When working with objects, TD/OMS supports use of variables that substitutes name code, property or attribute values of the current object in command strings or program parameters. In case of IFS file objects the newly added substitution codes are the following:
From now a total number of 21 substitution variables are available for building user defined procedures to process IFS file objects. Because the actual code list of variables in our WIKI documentation has been very incomplete, the full list of substitution elements applicable for IFS file objects, has been updated. The list is presented under Substitution variables The new variable definitions together with existing, 'quoted' variables enable you to compile ILE module or program objects or to build SQL type objects with use of a source in a IFS file object.
|
|---|
| Provide a Git Interface | This release further embeds the Git Integration started in V9.1. The TD/OMS Git Integration is based on the Git Feature Branch Workflow model. All task related development is performed in a dedicated branch allowing multiple programmers to work on a particular (or even the same) feature or change without disturbing the master branch.

If the field in question is a 'Search for text' term and the text to search is the same and the logical operator different then only the operator will be overwritten otherwise its not allowed to be added because its the same condition. If the text is different then a new entry is added because its a new condition.
