Upgrade Notes if You are Upgrading From Version 8.0

• Sun Identity Manager 8.0 changed the display method of charts and graphs in reports. Reports created prior to version 8.0 display as expected in the version 8.0 release. These reports, however, will not display properly in Sun Identity Manager 8.1. A deprecation notice regarding this issue appeared in the Sun Identity Manager Release Notes, Version 8.0 May 2008. (ID-17636)

• Forms and workflows that use the SaveNoValidate action will need to be added to the new saveNoValidateAllowedFormsAndWorkflows list. (ID-19115)

  Whitelist functionality added in Sun Identity Manager 8.1 checks forms and workflows that use the SaveNoValidate action against a list of IDs of form names. The saveNoValidateAllowedFormsAndWorkflows list is located in the security attribute in the System Configuration object. With this update, if the form name or owner ID is on the whitelist, the form or workflow can use the SaveNoValidate action. If the form name or the owner ID is not on the list, the form or workflow is processed using a Save action.

  To obtain the IDs or form names for forms and workflows that use the SaveNoValidate action, check the system log or turn on trace level 4 for com.waveset.ui.util.GenericEditForm and submit any custom forms or workflows that use SaveNoValidate. A warning including the ID will be logged.

  Note –

  If you add a form name to the whitelist, be sure that the name attribute for the form is set, otherwise you will see the following error message:

  SaveNoValidate on null processed as Save because it is not
   in the saveNoValidateAllowedFormsAndWorkflows list.
