All variables must now always be encoded using {var:varname}. This includes all system variables like ‘<Filename>’, which should now be {var:Filename}. Older format variables will automatically be renamed to the new format!
Variable-groups are now displayed as different tabs in ‘Variables’. Note that the available groups are still managed from the ‘Configuration\Advanced\Lists’ section
Fixed problem in Hotfolder-trigger, related to ‘Single File Handling’, the trigger would not try to process the next file if the first file was not stable
The C# and VB.Net code related plugins now use the ‘Roslyn’ compiler to support higher levels of C# and VB.Net code
Added option ‘Replace Variable’ to workflow-list context-menu. With this option all occurrences of a variable(name) can be replaced with another variable(name)
Added options ‘Replace Variable’ to the toolbar of the workflow-diagram
Added option ‘Inheritable’ to workflow-variables: if this option is enabled the value of the variable is passed on to, and inherited from any child workflow(s)
Updated plugin ‘SharePointUpload’: you can now save the document-ID to a variable and fixed a problem with ‘lookup’ type
Fixed problem that copy/paste of a large number of variables was very slow
Fixed problem with duplicating ‘Subgroups’
Fixed problem that certain special characters could not be used when renaming or duplicating ‘Groups’, ‘Subgroups’ or ‘Separators’
Improved copying/moving workflows and groups to another Daemon

Selecting a variable in the ‘Used Variables’ list will select all nodes in the workflow-diagram where the selected variable is used
Added indicator ‘D’ to the statusbar of the ‘Configuration Manager’ that shows if there are unsaved changes
V9.2.0
It’s now possible to configure “Workflow Variables” (in the properties of each workflow). These variables are only valid for the workflow in which they are defined and can’t be used (or exist) in other workflows
Added alias for plugin “JSON” called “JSON2DB” in category “Database”
Updated plugin “CSV2DB”: “Input file” can now also be a string
Updated function “ExtractStringFromFile” in plugin “SetVariable”: the file is now always processed line-by-line and all matches are appended to the result

Fixed problem that the recordset created by plugin “Excel2DB” & “CSV2DB” could not be queried by “QueryDatabase”
Variables in the context popup-menu are now displayed without < >
Workflow-lists will now show if a workflow is ‘enabled’, ‘disabled’ or ‘standby’, by using the ‘Workflowlist colors’ as configured in “Advanced\Interface”
Fixed problem in “GoogleStorage Hotfolder” trigger which caused some files not to get processed
Fixed problem in “Google Storage” plugins and trigger when different workflows used different credential json files
Optimized the interface of “Manage Services”
Added new workflow plugin “WarningAction” to configure what should happen if a “Warning” occurs (similar to “ErrorAction” plugin)
V9.1.9
Fixed arrange-diagram buttons in the toolbar of the workflow-diagram
V9.1.7
Updated plugins “IMAPreceiveMail”, “POPreceiveMail” and trigger “MailOnServer” to support “Microsoft OAUTH2” authentication. The trigger and plugins can automatically request an access-token and store the access-token to a local “KeyStore”. The trigger and plugins can then use the access-token from the KeyStore to authenticate the connection. If the access-token has expired a new one will automatically be requested. Note that you will need to register an application in Azure with the correct permissions for this to work. See the help for more information on this.
Fixed problem in Hotfolder-trigger with deleting rejected files
V9.1.6
Added options to “StopDaemon” and “RestartDaemon” plugins to stop/restart “All” Daemons and to “Stop/Restart When Idle”
Added new “WellFormedXml” operator to plugins “DoWhile”, “IfThenElse”, “OnCondition” and trigger “OnCondition”. The operator will return “True” if the configured file is a well-formed xml, “False” if it is not a well-formed xml

Added options to “Configuration Manager” to map/unmap all enabled connections in the “Network Credentials” list
Experimental support for “Microsoft OAuth” authentication in “IMAPreceiveMail” plugin
Added option “Use First Seen Timestamp” option to “Hotfolder”-trigger. The “First Seen” timestamp is the date/time the Daemon first finds (“sees”) the file in the hotfolder. This timestamp is then used by the “Stable Timer” to determine if a file is stable. This can be used to only process files which have been “seen” in the hotfolder for at least the “Stable time” amount of seconds.
“Workflow Validation” now checks if a workflow that is run but another workflow is either “Enabled” or “Standby”. In all other cases the Validation will fail
Updated plugin “PDF_CreatePdfFromText” to better support empty lines and form-feeds
When new workflows are created the “Creation Date” will now be saved and shown as “Creation Date” in the “Description” of the workflow. If a workflow has no “Creation Date” (all workflows that were created before this update) the date of the first edit of the “Description” will be shown as “Date”
Added new plugin “ChangeEncoding” to “File”-category. This plugin can be used to change the encoding of a file
Fixed problem with “Landscape” setting in plugin “PDF_CreatePdfFromText”
Added new plugin to “Workflow”-group: “ResetWorkflowOverdue”. Running this plugin will reset the “WorkflowOverdue” value for all workflows
Updated plugin “rsReport” to include the following runtime information: “LastFinished” (date/time when the workflow last finished), “AverageRuntime” (average runtime in seconds), “LastOverdueTime” (the last ‘WorkflowOverdue’ value), “MaxOverdueTime” (the maximum that ‘WorkflowOverdue’ reached) “ProcessedItems” (the number of items/files that were processed)
Updated plugins “ADcreateUser”, “ADmodifyUser”, “ADcreateContact” & “ADmodifyContact”: you can now use “[clear]” in the “Value” of an ad-property to clear the property and the properties now also support empty strings to set the property to an empty string
Implemented “<WorkflowLastOverdueTime>” variable which contains the last Overdue-time (in seconds) of the current workflow
Added operator “WorkflowOverdueGreaterThan” operator to “OnCondition”-trigger and plugins “DoWhile”, “IfThenElse” and “OnCondition”
Updated “rsReport” plugin to include the “WorkflowLastOverdueTime” value for each workflow
Added option “Run at Startup” to workflow-properties. This option is only available when “Scan Interval” is an interval in seconds and when enabled, will make the workflow run immediately after startup of the daemon.
Completely re-coded the internal scheduler because of (potential) problems with the scheduling of workflows. This fixes the problem of workflows (not) running at (un)expected times
The system logging now always shows the exact time a workflow is scheduled to run and how many seconds a workflow was overdue (compared to when it was supposed to start) NOTE: because workflows run sequential and not parallel is can still happen that a workflow actually runs later then it was scheduled to run, because other workflows may not have finished execution yet!
When a workflow is using the calendar the logging now shows more info about at what time the workflow should run
V9.1.5
When the tracking/WEB database is not reachable this will no longer trigger the “ErrorAction” in workflows
Added “Skip First Line” option to plugin “ForEach – Line in File”

Updated plugin “XMLupdate” to support regular-expressions in the “Update Value(s)” and “Current Value” settings
Fixed problem with dragging a workflow-group to the top or bottom

Added “Tools\Find” option to main menu in “Configuration Manager” to search the configuration files and/or logging
Added extra options to stop/restart the current daemon/pool: you can now “Stop/restart Service ASAP” (which was the default before) and “Stop/restart Service When Idle”
Updated plugin “ExportXLS2PDF”: it is now possible to also use Microsoft Excel as the engine to create the pdf. In some cases this produces a better pdf. Ofcourse this requires MS-Excel to be installed on the system
Fixed problem with workflow schedule-calendar that the calendar end-date was august 2022. The calendar end-data is now 01/01/2050
Fixed problem in “rsOutput2File” that updated pivot table data in a worksheet was not correctly saved

Improved performance of UI of Configuration Manager
Fixed problem with RunNow
Fixed problem with “Ignore Errors” setting in plugin “MoveFile”
Fixed problem in plugin “ExportXLS2CSV”

Changed MSAL authentication option in plugin “HttpClient” to use a certificate
Added “Cancel” option to workflows-list popup-menu
Fixed problem with plugins “RunVBDotNetCode” and “Run CSharpDotNetCode” plugins

V9.1.1
The installer will now ask you if it needs to update “Omniphlex WEB” or “Companion Server” whenever there is an update available. So no need to check- and update manually
Updated HotFolder-trigger: if both the “InputFilter” and “RejectFilter” are empty then no regular-expression-match will be applied to the filenames. This means only the “Pre-filter” (DOS wildcards) will be used which results in better performance, especially when processing directories that contain a large amount of files
V9.1.0
Added “Sunrise” and “Sunset” options to workflow “Interval” options. Note that this requires “Microsoft Windows Location Services” to be enabled and available to desktop apps!
Added variables “<LocationLatitude>”, ”<LocationLongitude>”, “<Sunrise>” & “<Sunset>” to internal variables
Fixed problem in plugin “HttpClient” that the command could fail if the HttpMethod was not in uppercase
Updated plugin “Excel2DB”: password-protected xlsx files can now be processed
It is now possible to configure the following date/time formats (per daemon): short-date, long-date, short-time, long-time & full-date-time. These formats will be used whenever a date/time value (from a database-query for instance) is converted to a string. These formats will overrule the system date/time formats and can also be used by using the following built-in variables: <ShortDate>, <LongDate>, <ShortTime>, <LongTime> & <FullDateTime>
Fixed problem with (large) width of arrows and (selection)handles in the workflow-diagrams
