Bug Fixes
IXIA CCMS Web
- This Service Pack contains Oxygen Web 26.0.
- [DEV-24415] If a bookmap title was defined using booktitle > mainbooktitle, title was not displayed when the map was checked out. This issue has been fixed.

When there is a reference to a CCMS object, either a map, a topic, an image or a resource, the title of the object is displayed.
- [DEV-23980] Sometimes the revision history for a map showed an entry with the system comment “Map has been forked”. Since maps cannot be forked, this action has now been blocked.
- [DEV-23934] When inserting a content reference into a topic, searches were only based on the body of the referable content topic. This issue has been fixed, and the search now includes the referable content topic title.
- [DEV-23897] Sometimes navtitle elements did not display in collaborative reviews. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23893] A “Sorry, create snapshot didn’t work” error sometimes appeared when trying to create a snapshot. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23881] In a DRM installation, a “Sorry, could not create map” error appeared when the containerparts contained exactly 998 elements. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23842] A “Sorry, could not load the outputs” error appeared when trying to open approvals created from localized content. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23726] After upgrading CCMS Web on Windows, sometimes the frameworks did not work, and topics were showing without any formatting. This issue has been fixed.

- [DEV-23338] The CCMS Web push feature sometimes had slow performance with the automatic merge. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23258] In the Taxonomy Terms panel, terms with the forward slash character / were displayed in red and crossed out. This issue has been fixed and IXIA CCMS Web now shows a warning in the Taxonomy Terms panel.
- [DEV-23149] Icons for new templates sometimes did not appear correctly, they displayed as a question mark. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23141] The reuse content dialog only showed first-level elements from referable content topics. This issue has been fixed and all elements with an ID element in a referable content are displayed.
- [DEV-23140] Previously, it was not easily possible to configure which roles could create a new resource. The CreateResource access right is now present in accessrights.xml and can be configured as needed.
- [DEV-23046] In Structure view, a “Cannot read properties” error appeared when trying to expand a submap that contained an empty keydef. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23041] CCMS Web 7.0 now allows the selection of multiple profiling attributes for an element.
- [DEV-23005] Previously, small images such as icons were upsized to create their thumbnails, resulting in distortion. Small images are no longer upsized and appear at their actual size in their thumbnails.

- [DEV-22615] Pushing a map sometimes pushed the DRM container reference as well. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22459] When adding assignees to an existing Collaborative Review using the Move action, a “Sorry, could not move” error appeared. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22457] A “Sorry, could not move” error message sometimes appeared when changing the status of a collaborative review. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22453] The Push action only allowed an object to be pushed to another branch that was in the same release. This issue has been fixed and objects can now be pushed to branches in other releases.

- [DEV-22076] In CCMS Web 6.7 SP3, values set in system/conf/conditionaltext.xml did not appear when editing topics. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22073] In previous releases, a floating keyref toolbar appeared for images in DRM systems. This toolbar has been removed.
- [DEV-22047] The reuse content action only listed topic types that were referable content. Administrators can edit their indexdefinition configuration file to show other topic types. See the Configuring IXIASOFT CCMS Web section of the Administrator Guide for more information.
- [DEV-22005] When changing the status of a map, sometimes a Dependencies Preventing the Move dialog box appeared. This was caused by the system/conf/triggerswebplatform.xml configuration file not parsing the change status trigger by document type. The file assumed the same status definition for all document types. This issue has been fixed and the system no longer errors when the status for a dependency does not match what is defined in triggerswebplatform.xml.
- [DEV-21999] The push or move actions sometimes failed if there was an orphaned containerpart. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-21914] CCMS Web did not recognize custom defined approver roles even when given the same access rights as the default approver role. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-21859] A “Sorry, could not move” error sometimes appeared when changing a topic status from Authoring:done to Authoring:work. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-21785] Previously, it was necessary to make a change to the title index to display the key name in topic titles that include a keyref in Structure view. This change has been incorporated into the default index, so these key names display automatically, surrounded by square brackets.
- [DEV-21126] Users in CCMS Web wanted element tags to use the XML names, such as <p>, by default instead of simplified names, such as <paragraph>. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-20858] CCMS Web did not recognize keyword taxonomy terms. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-20402] The reuse content action only listed topic types that were referable content. Administrators can edit their indexdefinition configuration file to show other topic types. See the Configuring IXIASOFT CCMS Web section of the Administrator Guide for more information.
- [DEV-19774] The dates displayed in the Web banner were in UTC time instead of the user’s local time. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-19493] Topics sometimes did not display the correct image because the browser cache was using a previous context map. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-17310] In a DRM installation, the Oxygen Image Map Editor did not appear when right-clicking on an image and selecting Apply Image Map. This issue has been fixed.
IXIA CCMS Desktop
- [DEV-23825] When importing a map with a reference to a PNG image using the format=”png” attribute, the image was imported as a resource. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23746] Sometimes, bulk changing status on topics in CCMS Desktop caused a “stack overflow” error. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23257] This fix is related to DEV-23208 which defines the keys for a localized map within the map. Performing a retranslate from source would overwrite the localized map with the authoring map and would lose the defined keys. This issue has been fixed and the localized map keys remain.
- [DEV-23208] Localized maps used to use the authoring DRM container to resolve keys. When a topic in the authoring cycle was then forked, the localized map showed an unresolved topicref because the newly forked topic did not exist yet in the localization cycle. There is a configuration change that can be added so that the localized maps in DRM have the keys defined directly in the map instead of using the authoring container. Contact IXIASOFT Support for further information.
- [DEV-23031] User comments that were entered in CCMS Desktop and contained special characters such as quote, apostrophe, and ampersand, did not display correctly in the CCMS Web Revision History. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22959] A “java.lang.NullPointerException” error sometimes appeared when trying to rename a DRM version. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22656] Some DRM actions such as Rename, failed due to a missing primary version. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22356] If a language was hidden via the system/conf/languages.xml configuration file with the authoring=”false” attribute set, the Show/Edit Image dialog displayed the default system language instead of the correct image language. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22182] Performance has been improved in Desktop when saving queries. Queries are now only saved when exiting Desktop and they can be loaded in the query history with the double-click action.
- [DEV-22089] Importing a map with a ditaval sometimes created the ditaval as a resource object. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-21624] Importing and releasing content failed if a topic contained two elements with the same ID. This issue has been fixed since this is considered valid DITA and the content is filtered at the time of output using ditavals.
IXIA Output Generator
- [DEV-23506] Creating a collaborative review sometimes failed on very large maps due to the OT processing the move-meta-entries. This issue has been fixed and the collaborative review plugin no longer processes these.
- [DEV-23486] In 6.8, sometimes a collaborative review with redline failed and the logs showed a “The Output Generator failed to process the request for the output (JOBID_NOT_FOUND)” error message. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-23324] Creating a collaborative review failed when a bookmap chapter contained a keyref. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22060] Related links added via CCMS Web were not being processed by the OT. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-22030] Videos were not visible in Collaborative Reviews. This issue has been fixed by making a configuration change in the system/conf/allreferences.xml file supplied on our Downloads site. Contact IXIASOFT Support for further information.
- [DEV-21453] The Output Generator sometimes incorrectly gave “Key is not defined” errors in the output log for keys that were defined. This issue has been fixed.
IXIA Scheduler
- [DEV-22462] The conf/classpath.conf had batik file references for 1.13 instead of 1.16. This issue has been fixed.
- [DEV-21933] [DEV-21879] Scheduler sent emails to users set to inactive in system/conf/users.xml. This issue has been fixed.
