PLOSSYS 5.7.0

New Features

  • As of version 5.7.0, PLOSSYS 5 supports document streams. Document streams are the Output Engine way to ensure that a series of individual documents can be printed without being interrupted by other documents. The new service key DOCUMENT_STREAM_TIMEOUT specifies the inactivity timeout of a printer after processing the last job of a document stream. For more information, refer to Using Document Streams. (PLS-1822, PLS-1848)

  • PLOSSYS 5 can be monitored by Prometheus. For available metrics, refer to Metrics. (PLS-1872)

  • Internal communication has been changed to NATS methods. Thus the service keys MONGO_ACTIONS_URL and MONGO_ACTIONS_AGE are no longer needed or available. (PLS-1579)

  • The new environment variable TLS_MIN_VERSION allows to define the minimum TLS protocol version to be used. (PLS-1771)

  • PLOSSYS CLI can be used to check if a printer supports the IPP or LPR protocol. The output will display the tested connection instead of the printer name. If a test file is specified, it will be transmitted using the requested protocol. For more information, refer to Check Printer Connections. (PLS-137, PLS-138)

  • The new environment key NOTIFICATION_CALLBACKS specifies callback actions for particular events like task or document updates. For more information on the usage of callback actions, refer to Create Callback Actions (PLS-1856)

  • Log messages about attempted client connections to the ipp-checkin service have been added to the seal-ipp-checkin.log. (PLS-1894)

  • In PLOSSYS Administrator, the following features have been implemented:

    • Job log files can be downloaded using the meatballs menu at a job. SEAL Elastic Stack as of version 7.17.0 has to be installed for it. (PLS-1820, PLS-1895)

Bug-Fixes

  • Log data of the services has been unified. metadata.printer is now used in all instances where metadata.printername has been used previously. (PLS-1539)

  • The firewall.sh script will not start the firewall anymore. (PLS-1628)

  • Base of the timeout for JOB_LIFETIME_PROCESSED_ACCOUNTING, JOB_LIFETIME_PROCESSED_CANCELED, JOB_LIFETIME_PROCESSED_ERROR and JOB_LIFETIME_PROCESSED_PROCESSED of a job is now the time when the respective state got reached. (PLS-1526)

  • The bug has been fixed, where repeating jobs in virtual queues took too long. (PLS-1901)

  • The bug with unprocessed notifications from the seal-notifier and seal-co-notifier services has been fixed. (PLS-1852)

  • The bug has been fixed, that caused jobs being stuck in waiting for preprocessing forever if all queues have been stopped for some time. (PLS-1921)

  • The time seal-housekeeper service needs to sweep old jobs has been improved. (PLS-302)

  • In PLOSSYS Administrator, the following bugs have been fixed:

    • The bug has been fixed, where some timestamps were not displayed in human readable form. (PLS-1823, PLS-1834)
