What's New Overview

New Features and Enhancements

New Features and Enhancements

    • REST Services Update - As part of our continuing update of our API services, two enhancements are included in this service pack:
      • RESTful API pagination - A system option EnableSqlPagination has been added. If this option is set to true, API pagination will use SQL pagination. If this option is set to false pagination will continue to be done in-memory. SQL pagination limits the likelihood of getting an out-of-memory issue when working with a large volume of records.
      • RESTful API schema - The RestServiceUtility.GetSchema has been updated to include a Length/Width field and use proper XML types instead of xs:string. Anything not fitting the primitive XML type list will remain xs:string.

Important! The above changes are updates to the underlying framework of our RESTful services. While we do not expect this to be a breaking change, we strongly suggest that you utilize a robust testing suite to verify that any customization taking advantage of these services continues to work as expected.
