Can anyone provide me a link to developer documentation for the SOAP API in English please?

In particular the UserService.updateUser(...) method has changed and we no longer know exactly what parameters we need to be passing in. Annoyingly the UserBean object we had been using to pass in parameters previously in v3.5 (via its properties) no longer has some properties it used to have! Whats going on?

Thanks

Yes, actually current JavaDoc russian comments is just translation parameter/method name to russian, so don't worry about it.

Congradulations!

I see a quite bit of new features were added in this new version.
i.e. new report module BIRT replaced Jasper engine which allow more columns in report.
The GUI looks more intuitive and more user friendly.

Great job and keep up this good work!

I have a question about some changes in this version.

This version has removed the control of visibility of task and UDFs based on their state.

Unfortunately our part of workflow is build on this feature and removing this will break what we've done before.
This could be a real problem for us.

Do you have any work-aronds for this?


many thanks,

Yes, this feature has been removed, because configuration in 3.5 was too cumbersome and it's difficult to fix it.

Please explain your problem in detail ? What is the business reason ? Do you like to disable edition or UDF view too ?

i.e. some UDF, we only want it be visible to certain user group at certain state.

Yes, I understand, but why ? Can you describe your use case ?

OK, we had an asset purchase process workflow which go through multiple state(approval) and approved by by differenty gorup of people.

i.e. let us say we had a UDF named "Work Order Number" which only need to be shown at final accounting review stage to our accounting.
We do not want to other group of user to view/access this field before this state.

As a workaround, you can try to allow view this UDF for people with "accounting" role only. So, try to control visibility by allowed user role, not task state.
