The version on the splash screen of Corsa shows this release 2021. This Long Term (LT) release is supported by BCT for up to three years. See https://support.bctsoftware.com/hc/nl/articles/224645928-Releasedata-BCT-software for further information.

tg2.

This release contains database changes from the Corsa 2019 release and earlier. The changes apply to the Corsa and Audit database.

Information about the number of tables and indexes of the various databases for this release:

By "previous" we mean the Corsa 2019 release.

tg3.

When starting Corsa for the first time after the upgrade, the Automatic Database Upgrade is started. In case of Progress OpenEdge and Oracle database this requires that the release prior to the upgrade is not lower than the Corsa 2010-4 release. If the release is lower and an upgrade is taking place, then in the case of Oracle the alter SQL scripts (.sql) must be used for the database upgrade and in the case of Progress OpenEdge the .DF files.

If the database platform is Microsoft SQL Server, starting with the Corsa 2017 release the Automatic Database Upgrade is no longer available and only the alter SQL scripts (.sql) can be used.

tg4.

Transition to Progress OpenEdge 11.7 Service Pack 8 (32-bit for Corsa Desktop / Runbatch and 64-bit for the server).

This solves a number of issues, such as:

•Oracle cursor issue (OCTA-12919): An incorrect Oracle statement was sometimes sent to the database if the statement was reused: https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Knowledge/multiple-random-oracle-errors-occur-during-cursor-reuse-operations.

•File operations with diacritics at Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PASOE) (OCTA-21623).

For more information about resolved issues in Service Pack 8, see the next page: https://docs.progress.com/bundle/openedge-product-notes/page/Issues-fixed-in-OpenEdge-11.7.8.html.

For this Service Pack 8, BCT has created a hotfix (001) containing the following additions:

•Update from Java 8 update 101 to Java 8 update 202.

•New _mproapsv.exe.config - issue CRS-11497 (saving documents on the Corsa Document Storage goes wrong when objects contain a "/" or "\" in the ID. Also requires OE 11.7.8.001_WIN_32-bit (prowin32.exe.config) for the 32-bit OpenEdge installation.

•New prowin32.exe.config - issue CRS-11497 (saving documents on the Corsa Document Storage goes wrong when objects contain a "/" or "\" in the ID. Also requires OE 11.7.8.001_WIN_64-bit (_mproapsv.exe.config) for the 64-bit OpenEdge installation.

•New prowin32.exe.manifest - issue 'PROGRESS RETURNS WRONG DPI INFORMATION' (https://knowledgebase.progress.com/articles/Article/000042519).

tg5.

Starting with this release, Corsa Desktop can only run 'over AppServer' (PASOE in this case). This means that in the Corsa INI file, the following line under '[CORSA/AppServer]' has to be added:

asCorsa=LOCAL

To be replaced by:

asCorsa=-URL https://<HOSTNAME>/apsv/

The Corsa INI file for runbatch on the PASOE server may still contain 'asCorsa=LOCAL' as it is always used on the server itself.

Attention! To configure Corsa over AppServer / PASOE, additional steps are required such as generating and placing a certificate. See the installation guide or alternatively the abbreviated instruction 'Configure Corsa over AppServer (PASOE).txt' in the directory tree for more information.

tg6.

The webnxt.pl has been  added to the Corsa INI file (corsa.ini) for Corsa Desktop . This has also been done for the runbatch INI file (corsa_runbatch.ini).

tg7.

In the next section 'Corsa Connector' you can read that all TDSAPI-related components have been removed, including the TDSAPI.INI. The locations / URLs of various Corsa components are now stored in Corsa parameters.

The following parameters are new, because of the disappearance of TDSAPI(.INI).

•crosvrurl (Corsa Rendition Orchestrator URL, example: http://<HOSTNAME>:35147)

•idcsvrurl (Identity Server URL, example: https://<HOSTNAME>/adfs)

oThis also requires credentials (client id + secret) which are set with the Corsa programme 'std/w-vconfig.r' tab 'Toolbox' | 'Set user/password for CDS'. See the Corsa Document Server 2021 installation manual for more information.

•strsvrurl (Corsa Document Storage URL, example: https://<HOSTNAME>:30000)

•passvrurl (Progress Application Server for OpenEdge (PASOE) URL for REST API, example: https://<HOSTNAME>/Corsa/web/rest)

oSimilar to the former 'pasurl' in the old TDSAPI.INI. However, this parameter points to the REST API of PASOE.

See Corsa Document Server for more information. See also the Corsa Document Server 2021 installation manual for more information.

See Corsa Connector for more information about the disappearance of TDSAPI(.INI).

The following parameters have been removed:

•dshost

•dsport

•dsssl

oThis parameter was used to make DS available over SSL. This has now been replaced by an https connection for PASOE.
