Release Note Archives

This page summarizes the history of limitations resolved in previous StreamBase releases.

Limitations Resolved in 7.2.x

Fixed in 7.2.16
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.16 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.25. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑25420 The UBS Trading Components handler was not correctly parsing the tenor values submitted by the user. This has been fixed and the Tenor checking has also been updated to reflect version 1.19 of the UBS market data spec in relation to Tenor values allowed.
SB‑25146 Enabling dequeuing in sbadmin would start all output adapters regardless of their "Start with application" setting, moving them from NOT_YET_STARTED state to STARTED state when the container sent dequeue=ENABLED. Input adapters displayed the same behavior with the enqueue=ENABLED command. This has been fixed, so that these commands no longer implicitly start adapters.
Fixed in 7.2.15
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.15 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.25. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24965 The XML to Tuple Java operator was excluding empty values of any type instead of parsing them as the NULL_VALUE_REPRESENTATION property value. This has been fixed.
SB‑24947
SB‑22083
The following fixes were made to the Exegy Input adapter:
  • The TradingAction event no longer fails with a null pointer exception when the Include Adapter Latency property is enabled.

  • Instead of always reporting as a refresh, Trading Action messages now report a trading action command.

  • You can now send conflation commands to the Exegy server by setting the maximum quote rate value for the adapter as well as sending an optional maxQuoteRate value with each subscription input.

  • Instead of reporting null values, dictionary output tuples now are populated correctly.

SB‑24050 When using the StreamBaseFIX FIX engine, a FIX adapter configured to run as initiator would not automatically attempt to reconnect when a FIX connection was abnormally terminated. This has been fixed.
SB‑24891 Restarting an initiator application for a StreamBase FIX adapter failed when an alternate FIX dictionary was being used. This has been fixed.
SB‑23684 A warning message for the Morningstar Quotes Feed Input adapter was updated to display the Feed Type to help diagnose instances when it may be incorrectly set.
SB‑23528 At times the Wombat MAMA input adapter stopped responding to subscription requests for non-priced symbols. This happened after repeatedly subscribing and unsubscribing to the same set of symbols, because the expired subscriptions were not being cleared from memory. This has now been fixed. The MAMA publisher will now send out an expired message when it removes subscriptions when they time out due to inactivity.
SB‑23356 A race condition can lead to occasional null pointer exceptions that surface in the Log adapter when the adapter is configured for asynchronous logging. This has been fixed.
SB‑22686 If authentication was enabled, the StreamBase Admin operator required valid values for the Username and Password properties to execute commands on the local StreamBase server instance. This has been changed, so that a username and password are no longer required when the Remote Server property is not selected.

The Username and Password properties for this operator are now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. For remote servers running under authentication, specify the username and password as part of the Server URI.

SB‑22531 The StreamBase Admin operator would autocomplete tuple identifiers starting with input. and input1., but Studio would then typecheck with a message saying "The field 'input' (or input1) is not available from any stream." This has been fixed, so that input., input1., and no prefix are now all equally acceptable.
SB‑19808 When the Wombat input adapter tried to push incoming int and long values into a double field, the resulting values would be null. This has been fixed to promote int and long values to doubles where the schema calls for it.
Fixed in 7.2.14
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.14 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.25. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24939 The .NET Client API methods StreamBaseClient.Enqueue(String, List<Tuple>) only enqueued the first tuple in the given list rather than all tuples in the list. This was fixed.
SB‑24919 The all-in rate for spot legs was populated from the bid/ask tuple's spotRate field rather than its allInRate field. This was corrected.
SB‑24877 Limitations resolved in StreamBase 7.2.6 sometimes affected performance when Tuple fields in Java operators were accessed using Schema.Field objects. The performance problem was resolved.
Fixed in 7.2.13
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.13 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.25. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24823 The XML-to-tuple operator incurs a null pointer exception during the validation of an ATTRIBUTES field in the Edit Schema tab if the field is of type list but the list element is not of type tuple. This was fixed.
SB‑24792 The VenueTime field is now populated in top- and depth-of-book tuples by the DB Classic and Rapid FIX market data handlers.
SB‑24766 When set up to connect to alias queues, the IBM WebSphere MQ Input and Output Adapters also connect to the underlying base queue to promptly detect failed connections to the MQ server. Now, when connecting to an alias queue, the adapters still open the base queue, but with inquire access only.
SB‑24762 The VenueName field is now populated by the Deutsche Bank AutobahnFX Classic and Rapid FIX market data handlers.
SB‑24655 The 29West input and output adapters can now exchange nested pre-defined messages with non-StreamBase applications.
SB‑24485 The FXall provider adapter was upgraded to support FXall TCPI 4.0.0.1. In particular, An optional MidRate field was added to the price leg schema and FixingDate, MidRate, and USILeg fields were added to the leg schema.
SB‑24172 A .NET client that invoked Tuple.SetField("top.nested",value) when field top was null could generate a Null Pointer Exception. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.2.12
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.12 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.24. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24572 In populating tuple fields of type timestamp from XML attributes, the XMLToTuple operator's Date/Time Format property was being ignored, and the timestamp was being treated as an interval rather than an absolute time. This was fixed.
SB‑24478 In previous releases, the Log Output adapter would sometimes perform unnecessary tuple transformations, leading to worse performance. This was fixed.
SB‑24457 The Saxo Bank FIX adapter now contains a new class, SaxoQFJMessageInterceptor, to complete the adapter functionality.
Fixed in 7.2.11
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.24. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24214 The IBM WebSphere MQ input adapter was not reporting connection-down errors for some error codes. This was fixed.
SB‑24198 The format function, when it received a null, would sometimes incorrectly return a previously received non-null value. This was fixed.
SB‑24066 Query Operators lost their match settings when connected to Query Tables whose schemas were imported from Event Flow applications with typecheck errors. This was fixed.
SB‑24052 Parent fields for some imported schemas were sometimes unavailable from the Properties View tab. This was fixed.
SB‑24034 Name collisions between imported schemas' names and group names caused loading errors. The groups are now automatically renamed to prevent these errors.
SB‑23962 In certain cases, the calljava method with a null argument incorrectly errored. This was fixed.
SB‑23830 A StreamBase Studio restart would remove the Own-Thread option from an existing, saved Extension Point operator. This was fixed.
SB‑23703 Studio did not automatically add a file extension prior to checking for filename conflicts when a file had the same basename as its containing directory. This was fixed.
SB‑18565 Editing a table's secondary index field sometimes reset the Order property of the associated Query operators. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.2.11
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.24. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24129 If a marketfeed message in the Reuters adapter contained one or more invalid enumeration field values and the adapter's Send Enum Field Display Values was set, a message was incorrectly dropped. This was fixed.
SB‑24054 The StreamBase .NET API tuple-field data accessors showed poor performance when using the GetField method to get null-valued fields. This was fixed.
SB‑24033 If a user had multiple EventFlow editor windows open, and used the Add Note hotkey (/) to add a note in one open window and then switched windows without first closing the note, the note editor would remain active in the first window, rather than the active window. This means that any successive attempts to add notes in other windows would be saved to the original window, rather than the active window. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.2.10
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.10 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.12, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.23. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23933 If the Java source folder for custom Java operators, adapters, or functions was anything other than java-bin under a Studio project root (as could happen when using Maven to manage the Java files), then Studio was unable to load that operator, adapter, or function during typechecking of the project. Studio would report that the class could not be found. This was corrected.
SB‑23930 The XML-to-Tuple operator can populate tuple fields with XML attributes in one of two ways: (1) By using the special _ATTRIBUTES meta field, or (2) by creating a subfield with a name that matches the attribute name. The second technique was not working if the subfield's parent field was of type list<tuple>. This was fixed.
SB‑23912 In previous releases, the expression language's strptime() function incorrectly interpreted time strings that specified the noon hour as a timestamp 12 hours later. This was corrected.
SB‑23879 Two Unicode-handling bugs in StreamBase Studio were corrected. Even if Studio was configured to be Unicode ready with the streambase.tuple-charset=UTF-8 setting, (1) the Copy as ... options in the context menu of the Application Output view would not correctly copy Unicode characters, and (2) the New StreamBase Unit Test wizard could garble Unicode characters in Java files created from the Application Output view.
SB‑23853 For 64-bit platforms, the .NET and C++ clients would sometimes not release Windows handles after a connection was terminated, so subsequent connection attempts would increase the handle counts. This was fixed.
SB‑23739 A busy loop that caused a thread in the IBM WebSphere MQ adapter to consume 100% of CPU time was identified and fixed.
SB‑23726 On Linux systems, an unpredictability in classpath loading order was resulting in a NullPointerException for the Alpha Trading Systems adapters. The classpath loading order was updated to assure a predictable order.
SB‑23619 When using the Wombat MAMA Input adapter, subscriptions that failed with a NOT_FOUND error were correctly removed from the adapter, but the underlying Wombat subscription was not destroyed. This was fixed.
SB‑23608 When enqueuing with a C++ or Python client and specifying an input stream by stream name in the default container without its qualifying path (that is, "in" rather than "default.in"), a performance penalty was incurred because the client would repeatedly query the server for stream properties rather than using the client side cache. The workarounds were to manually cache the StreamProperties object or use full stream path name. This limitation was lifted and the workarounds are no longer necessary.
SB‑23602 An unusual race condition when starting multiple containers with synchronous container connections was fixed.
SB‑23485 In previous releases, an xi:include in a server configuration file could cause an error that referred to the Boost libraries when starting StreamBase Server as a Windows service. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑23137 Documentation for previous 7.2.x releases continued to state that only jsbc enqueue could enqueue an empty tuple to an input stream defined with an empty schema. Actually, sbc enqueue gained that capability starting with 7.2.0.
SB‑22757 The .NET Client Library was updated to behave more like the Java Client Library in one respect. Previously, when a DequeueResult.Interceptor returned null, the null was returned to its caller, which interrupted dequeuing. Now a null case no longer interrupts dequeuing.
Fixed in 7.2.9
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.9 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.11, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.22. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23770 In recent 7.2.x releases, when developing a custom Java operator or adapter, if your custom class cannot load at runtime in Studio (perhaps because it failed to build), the settings in the Properties view for your operator or adapter would be inadvertently cleared. This was corrected so that a failure-to-load error no longer clears any Properties view settings.
Fixed in 7.2.8
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.8 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.11, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.22. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23428 The format of ContainerConnectionException error messages was updated to include the source container name, connection name, and endpoint name, in cases where this information is available.
SB‑23401 The Thomson Reuters Schema Designer was updated to map Reuters type OMMTypes.UINT64 to StreamBase type long.
SB‑23355 A Query Read operation was returning an incorrect result set if the range criteria for one of the index fields had a begin-to-end specification followed by an index field having a null specification. This was fixed.
SB‑23351 When using Log4j as the logging back end with asynchronous loggers, queues log messages could get dropped on shutdown. This was fixed.
SB‑23347 When using the StreamBaseFIX FIX engine's session handling, where a pending TestRequest would still be considered pending even after a disconnection-reconnection cycle.
SB‑23206 The StreamBaseFIX FIX engine now correctly use username and password, in lowercase as shown, to fetch these settings in the StreamBaseFIX configuration file, to match the sample configuration file and the documentation.
SB‑22942 A NullPointerException error could be thrown when using the EventFlow Debugger to try to see the values of a list stored in a Query Table. The debugger supports viewing lists in tuples in an arc, but not in Query Tables. The attempt to view lists in Query Tables is now correctly blocked, and no longer throws the error.
SB‑22299 When using the EventFlow debugger, breakpoints before Error Output Streams were not hit. This was corrected.
SB‑20483 In previous releases, opening the Breakpoint Properties dialog for an arc resulted in a large, empty dialog with a few lines of unhelpful text. This dialog is now fully populated with information that applies to the selected arc, and also supports the new conditional breakpoints feature.
Fixed in 7.2.7
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.7 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.11, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.22. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23277 An otherwise valid EventFlow module with Chinese characters in an operator's Description text would fail typechecking, despite having both Server and Studio Unicode settings as described in Unicode Support. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑23252 In previous releases, under certain conditions, embedded adapters would incorrectly use the containing server's log level setting instead of the adapter's independent log level setting. The conditions were: the STREAMBASE_USE_CUSTOM_LOGGING environment variable was set to true, and the adapter was configured to log at the same or a less verbose level than the server. This was corrected.
SB‑23230 The Thomson Reuters TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter was incurring an exception in processing a market price message for each field not present in the adapter's schema, leading to less than optimal performance. This issue occurred only when the adapter's Disable Market Price View Requests was enabled (not the default), or when processing messages from a Thomson Reuters server that does not support view requests. The adapter was updated to respond correctly to these situations.
SB‑23072 Query Table updates using a large number of fields were running into the JVM's 64K size limit for methods. The generation of these methods was optimized to reduce their size and allow more fields to be present.
SB‑23047 A Query that contained a range bound, followed by an equality bound, where the equality bound was checking for nulls, always returned no results in previous 7.2.x releases. This was fixed.
SB‑22930 In 6.6.x releases, double-clicking an entry in the Problems view both opened the affected EventFlow module and selected the operator with the problem. In previous 7.x releases, the same double-click opened the affected module but failed to select the affected operator. This was corrected such that the 6.6 behavior was restored.
Fixed in 7.2.6
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.6 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.10, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.21. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23043 In previous releases, a NullPointerException could result when deleting a parent schema from the EventFlow Editor's Definitions tab. This was fixed.
SB‑23030 On Windows with release 7.2.5, StreamBase Server launched from the StreamBase Command Prompt could fail or hang under some circumstances if the server configuration file included XML comments. This was fixed.
SB‑23000 When using the EventFlow Debugger without the Debug view open, breakpoints were hit but navigation to the hit breakpoint in the EventFlow Editor could not be shown. Starting with 7.2.6, on a breakpoint hit, the Debug view is opened if not already open.
SB‑22997 After upgrading to release 7.2.5, a 7.1.x application that uses shared and placeholder Query Tables was failing to typecheck in Studio. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22976 When using the O E keyboard shortcut to place a Module Reference on the canvas, the gray data port did not initially appear if the referenced module contained only a shared Query Table. This was corrected.
SB‑22971 A RuntimeException could occur when using the readTable API to read from a Query Table configured with a capture field. This was fixed.
SB‑22958 In the .NET Client Library, DequeueResult.GetTupleCount() was returning null instead of 0 when Status==DequeueResult.TIMEOUT. This was corrected.
SB‑22837 A leak of Path resource memory from the graphics rendering code that supports Studio was corrected.
SB‑22752 The prerequisites for the RPM method of installing StreamBase on Linux were updated so that installing StreamBase does not automatically require third-party libraries.
SB‑22731 In previous 7.2.x releases, disk-based Query Tables with indexes that contained lists before the final element of the index could result in Unexpected tag messages on the Console view. This was fixed.
SB‑22706 The expression language's new_tuple() function could grow beyond the Java 64 Kbyte limit when given schemas with over 60 fields. The function was refined to allow much larger schemas.
SB‑22675 In previous 7.2.x releases, Query operators could return an unexpected result set when the table was accessed through a module reference. This was corrected.
SB‑22628 When using the EventFlow Debugger, a ClassNotLoadedException could occur when expanding a tuple variable in the Variables view. This was fixed.
SB‑22422 A race condition on startup of StreamBase Server was affecting LiveView Server startup. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22249 The error message that resulted from a failure to provide a numerical argument for the -x option of the sbfeedsim command was misleading. This was corrected with better error messages.
SB‑21839 The TableAccesor.delete() method did not provide a way to report a no-match result. This was corrected.
SB‑21487 Studio could show an Error Log view error when deleting a project that had a file open in Studio. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.2.5
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.5 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.9, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.20. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22584 Red error text in the Properties view of the Aggregate operator was not being cleared when the error condition was resolved. This was corrected.
SB‑22548 When using the EventFlow Debugger, attempts to traverse a call stack could intermittently encounter a failure with a "source not found" error and an "invalid stack frame" exception. This issue was resolved.
SB‑22530 When using the EventFlow Debugger, a DebugException with ObjectCollectedException error could appear in the Error Log View in rare cases when an internal call from the debugger to the debugged process failed because an argument in the call happened to be garbage collected before the remote call was able to start. This was fixed.
SB‑22500 When using the EventFlow Debugger, three question marks could appear for the value of a timestamp field in the Variables view, with a ThreadNotSuspendedException appearing at the same time in the Error Log view. This was corrected.
SB‑22413 StreamBase Systems discourages editing a project's server configuration file, or one of its component fragment files, in another editor outside of Studio while Studio is running. Nevertheless, if you do so, and forget to refresh the Studio project after such edits but before running Refresh Typecheck Environment, Studio no longer throws a Class Error.
SB‑22408, SB‑22364 In releases 7.2.3 and 7.2.4, Studio could lock up when attempting to edit a server configuration file with one or more <xi:include> statements. This was corrected.
SB‑22370 The Thomson Reuters TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter was updated to move its one-time initialization code to a later state of the adapter's start-up sequence. This avoids "time out on state change" errors.
SB‑22356 In previous 7.2.x releases, properties for the currently selected Query operator were sometimes observed to load slowly into the Properties view. This was corrected, providing a significant speedup in property loading.
SB‑22006 In previous 7.2.x releases, in a Query operator with Write-Update operation, set actions in the Additional Expressions grid sometimes failed to be reflected in the table fields pane on the left. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.2.4
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.4 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.8, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.19. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22346 In previous 7.2.x releases, a Query operator with Write-Insert operation and the If row exists selection Update existing row using values in Fallback, could replace table values with null. This was corrected.
SB‑22330 In previous 7.2.x releases, a Query operator with Write-Update operation upgraded from a pre-7.2 release could display an empty Action column in the Properties view Operation tab. This was fixed to show the Set action.
SB‑22327 In previous 7.2.x releases, a Query operator with Write-Update operation used in a hygienic module could emit unexpected data as output. This was fixed.
SB‑22318 EventFlow modules that use imported schemas or definitions could get flagged as needing to be saved despite having no changes in the module itself, in cases when an imported resource changed in its original location. This was corrected.
SB‑22317 In previous releases, if you copied a Module Reference and disconnected the copy, the original Module Reference could lose its table association in the Tables tab of its Properties view. This was corrected.
SB‑22315 In previous releases, using the Debug view's Terminate button would stop the debug session, then halt the running StreamBase Server instance without its usual shutdown procedures. This sequence of operations could fail to delete the disk Query Tables’ lock directory, which would then require deleting the lock directory manually before restarting the application. The Debug view's Terminate button was updated to perform the same clean shutdown of the Server as the Stop button in the top-level Studio toolbar.
SB‑22305 In previous 7.2.x releases, the server could throw a ClassCastException when a Query Table was connected through Module References to an inner module with at least two levels of capture fields with identical schemas. This was fixed.
SB‑22302 When using the StreamBase to StreamBase adapters with their Low Latency property disabled, duplicate data could be delivered in place of expected data. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22300 The error messages "missing parameter table" and "missing parameter operation" were revised to more clearly describe the problem using EventFlow terminology. In general, typecheck error messages that can be thrown by the server runtime were reviewed and updated for clarity and EventFlow relevance.
SB‑22223 In previous 7.2.x releases, the indexof() function for lists of tuples became inadvertently sensitive to field order. The behavior of the function in 7.1.x was restored.
SB‑22133 A client application built with the .NET Client Library and the .NET 4 framework could result in multiple System.IndexOutOfRangeException errors. This was corrected.
SB‑22098, SB‑22099 In the Aggregate operator, the expression used for the opening policy is evaluated in a non-aggregate context and thereby must resolve to a simple function. In previous releases, no error or warning was issued if you used an aggregate function in the opening policy expression, and the module resulted in a NullPointerException at runtime. This case now has shows a typecheck error.
SB‑22092 When the Union operator detects a schema mismatch, Studio shows a SchemaMismatchException error. The (go to error) and (compare schemas) links were moved to the beginning of the tooltip message for this error so that they are always available even for very wide schemas.
Fixed in 7.2.3
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.3 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.8, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.19. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22259 The Wombat MAMA Publishing Output adapter was updated to clarify WARN log messages from the adapter that occur when the feed dictionary changes, but the application still expects a field with a type defined in the previous dictionary.
SB‑22253 In previous releases, when processing millions of tuples, if queues become very backed up, StreamBase Server begins to manage memory growth. After emitting WARN log messages about the queue backup, under certain rare conditions, some amount of queue data could be lost or inappropriately replayed. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22234 In previous 7.2.x releases, a Query Table that used a table schema, which in turn was composed with a parent schema would show incorrect red X typecheck error icons in the table's Properties view. This was corrected.
SB‑22214 A typecheck error could occur on a Once adapter when the same module had a locally defined table schema that used a locally defined named schema. This was fixed.
SB‑22209 An IndexOutOfBoundsException error was generated when renaming a table schema without using RefactorRename. This was fixed.
SB‑22183, SB‑22178 In previous 7.2.x releases, the default setting for the Query operator's Operation tab was changed compared to release 7.1. As of 7.2.3, this tab's default for the If no rows are found selection is restored to match input with null values both for new Query operators and those upgraded to 7.2 from existing modules.
SB‑22176 In previous 7.2.x releases, the Sequence operator was missing its default values. This was corrected.
SB‑22134 In projects upgraded to 7.2, some Query operators associated with Module References were reporting an incorrect typecheck failure about undefined tables. This was fixed.
SB‑22091, SB‑21514 When using the EventFlow Debugger in previous releases, changing the value of a variable in the Variables view would fail, resulting in an error. A similar error could result from changing a dynamic variable in the Variables view. These conditions no longer generate an error.
SB‑22087 In projects upgraded to 7.2, Query operators could sometimes appear with no input grid in the Output tab; closing and reopening the module would restore the input grid, but in the wrong location in the tab. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22017 Arc bend points on the EventFlow canvas were not correctly restored when reloading a module. This was fixed.
SB‑21890 In previous 7.2.x releases, when you specified a Query operator with Delete operation, and also specified Where: All rows, the Order control was incorrectly activated. This was fixed.
SB‑21805 When you enabled an error port on operators with no output ports, an error dialog would result, even though the error port was created correctly. The appearance of the error dialog was corrected.
SB‑20398 The Copy Schema From dialog was updated to include output streams as a source of schemas to copy.
Fixed in 7.2.2
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.2 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.7, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.18. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22090 In some cases, a Map operator created in recent 7.1.x releases would show empty settings in the Properties view's Output Settings tab after importing into release 7.2. This was corrected.
SB‑22027 In previous 7.2 releases, a Query operator performing a Write operation exhibited different output behavior depending on the Fallback option selected. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.2.1
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.1 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.7, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.18. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22072 In previous releases, long-running, high-volume enqueuing clients could, in some circumstances, exhaust StreamBase Server's input queue buffer capacity, resulting in a disconnected client after the connection timed out. This was corrected.
SB‑21799 The error message caused by exceeding the maximum input packet size was clarified and improved.
SB‑21589 In previous releases, if you dragged the left side of an arc from an input stream and reconnected the arc to another component, the arc incorrectly gained a declared schema, using the schema of the input stream. This was corrected.
SB‑20656 The Wombat MAMA Output adapter was verified to work over the TIBCO Rendezvous (RV) transport. You must obtain a Wombat library version that supports RV and is at least version 5.0.4 or later.
Fixed in 7.2.0
Number Resolution
Release 7.2.0 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.1 series through 7.1.6, in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.11, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.17. See Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x, Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x, and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21768 The schema for the status port of the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter was optimized to use current StreamBase APIs.
SB‑21655 When using the optional StreamBaseFIX FIX engine, FIX tag values greater than about 33000 resulted in an error when loading the data dictionary. This was corrected.
SB‑20785 In previous releases, the Copy Schema From dialog included imported schemas when showing the available schemas from a particular module. The was corrected to show only locally defined schemas for each module.
SB‑19477 Removing a nested field from a null tuple in a Map operator now leaves the tuple as null, instead of changing it to a tuple filled with nulls. For example, if you send the tuple (top(a,b,c)) to a Map operator that drops field b, the resulting tuple is (top(a,c)). If top is null before the Map, now it is null after the Map.
SB‑17246 The Trace Debugger would sometimes leave its color highlight in place after returning to the SB Authoring perspective. This was fixed.
SB‑13271 Previous releases of the .NET Client Library did not provide a way to construct a new DequeueResult, while the Java Client Library provided SimpleDequeueResult for this purpose. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API with the addition of the DequeueResult constructors. See Migrating .NET Clients.
SB‑12662 In previous releases of the .NET Client Library, using IsNull("wrong_field_name") threw the generic SEHException instead of StreamBase.SB.NoSuchFieldException. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API as described above.

Limitations Resolved in 7.1.x

Fixed in 7.1.13
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.13 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.2x. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑24487 Previously, the QF/J options to use a JDBC message store could not be used in a FIX config file supplied to the SB FIX adapter. The message "quickfix.ConfigError: FileStorePath not defined" is symptomatic of this condition. This was corrected.
SB‑24485 The FXall provider adapter was upgraded to support FXall TCPI 4.0.0.1. In particular, An optional MidRate field was added to the price leg schema and FixingDate, MidRate, and USILeg fields were added to the leg schema.
SB‑23933 If the Java source folder for custom Java operators, adapters, or functions was anything other than java-bin under a Studio project root (as could happen when using Maven to manage the Java files), then Studio was unable to load that operator, adapter, or function during typechecking of the project. Studio would report that the class could not be found. This was corrected.
SB‑23912 In previous releases, the expression language's strptime() function incorrectly interpreted time strings that specified the noon hour as a timestamp 12 hours later. This was corrected.
SB‑23155 In previous releases, importing a 7.0.x project into 7.1.x that used JDBC query with the USE CALLABLE parameter set to FALSE, a migration step was required to force Studio to ignore the JDBC index. This step is not longer required.
Fixed in 7.1.12
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.12 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.23. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23726 On Linux systems, an unpredictability in classpath loading order was resulting in a NullPointerException for the Alpha Trading Systems adapters. The classpath loading order was updated to assure a predictable order.
SB‑23619 When using the Wombat MAMA Input adapter, subscriptions that failed with a NOT_FOUND error were correctly removed from the adapter, but the underlying Wombat subscription was not destroyed. This was fixed.
SB‑23252 In previous releases, under certain conditions, embedded adapters would incorrectly use the containing server's log level setting instead of the adapter's independent log level setting. The conditions were: the STREAMBASE_USE_CUSTOM_LOGGING environment variable was set to true, and the adapter was configured to log at the same or a less verbose level than the server. This was corrected.
SB‑23230 The Thomson Reuters TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter was incurring an exception in processing a market price message for each field not present in the adapter's schema, leading to less than optimal performance. This issue occurred only when the adapter's Disable Market Price View Requests was enabled (not the default), or when processing messages from a Reuters server that does not support view requests. The adapter was updated to respond correctly to these situations.
SB‑22757 The .NET Client Library was updated to behave more like the Java Client Library in one respect. Previously, when a DequeueResult.Interceptor returned null, the null was returned to its caller, which interrupted dequeuing. Now a null case no longer interrupts dequeuing.
Fixed in 7.1.11
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.22. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑23602 An unusual race condition when starting multiple containers with synchronous container connections was fixed.
SB‑23156, SB‑23157 When migrating a module written with release 7.0.x to 7.1, Query-JDBC operators that used explicitly set schemas in the Result Settings tab were not correctly migrated, and the Output Settings tab was incorrectly set to SQL Result Fields=None. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑23111 The IBM WebSphere MQ output adapter was updated to not attempt to read the depth of remote queues, which was causing the adapter to incorrectly report a connection-down state.
SB‑23106 The TREP-RT Publishing Output adapter could fail to service download requests for very large data dictionaries. This was fixed.
SB‑23030 On Windows, starting with release 7.1.9, StreamBase Server launched from the StreamBase Command Prompt could fail or hang under some circumstances if the server configuration file included XML comments. This was fixed.
SB‑22958 In the .NET Client Library, DequeueResult.GetTupleCount() was returning null instead of 0 when Status==DequeueResult.TIMEOUT. This was corrected.
SB‑22930 In 6.6.x releases, double-clicking an entry in the Problems view would both open the affected EventFlow module and select the operator with the problem. In previous 7.x releases, the same double-click would open the affected module but not select the affected operator. This was corrected such that the 6.6 behavior was restored.
SB‑22837 A leak of Path resource memory from the graphics rendering code that supports Studio was corrected.
SB‑22740 In previous 7.1.x releases, an error resulted when trying to store a null value of type list(tuple) into a disk-based Query Table. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.1.10
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.10 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.21. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22785 On rare occasions, client applications authored in C++ and .NET could spontaneously disconnect from StreamBase Server. The cause was isolated and corrected.
SB‑22768 The FIX data dictionary for the 360T SuperSonic TEX adapter, although in compliance with 360T's specification, was sending the QuoteCondition field out of order. The data dictionary was corrected to match actual practice.
SB‑22729 The reference page for the sbargen command (and the corresponding man page on UNIX) were corrected to remove the -d and -n options.
SB‑22728 A minor issue with Group-By expressions in Query Table Read operations that access fields in the table was found and fixed.
SB‑22708 The wording of a queue updating message was changed to more accurately reflect the condition reported. This message previously reported "Deadlock detected: queue-path, queue expanding by nn tuples." While a deadlock was very remotely possible under those conditions, the message was only meant to convey that the server had to expand this queue because the consumer side of the queue was consuming slower than the producer side was producing. The new wording for this message is:

WARN: FQ classname - Queue queue-path expanding by nnn tuples because the consumer is slower than the producer. Waited ttt milliseconds.

SB‑22682 In previous releases, when a feed simulation encountered read errors as it attempted to read an input CSV file, the error message emitted did not provide adequate information. As of this release, the error message under these conditions now includes the failing stream name and the line number in the failing file, in addition to the message text.
SB‑22627 The Wombat Publishing adapter was inadvertently truncating integers to shorts in populating I32 message fields. This was corrected.
SB‑22578 In previous releases of StreamBase Studio, in the Manual Input view, when you used command completion to fill in the current date and time in a timestamp field, the timestamp entered did not update to match current time. This was fixed.
SB‑22553 StreamBase Server could throw a StringIndexOutOfBounds exception and halt under conditions related to an unexpectedly abbreviated month specification when using the strptime() function. This was corrected with a new, more informative error message, and an error condition that is handled by the error streams system normally.
SB‑22370 The Thomson Reuters TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter was updated to move its one-time initialization code to a later state of the adapter's start-up sequence. This avoids "time out on state change" errors.
SB‑21756 In previous releases, StreamBase Studio could throw a Keybinding conflicts error. The cause was traced to an unclosed tooltip and corrected.
Fixed in 7.1.9
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.9 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.20. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22540 The Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform for Real-Time (TREP-RT) Subscribing Input adapter (formerly named the Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing adapter) was using a non-thread-safe OMM encoder and was thereby incurring random errors when initial and dynamic subscriptions were processed concurrently. This problem was corrected.
SB‑22538 The TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter previously supported the "Include Marketfeed Field_List_No Header Field" property only for the Market Feed message model. This property is now supported for Market Price model as well. The property name, as seen in the Tuple Properties tab, is now Include Field List Number Field.
SB‑22534 The TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter was inconsistent between Market Feed and Market Price with respect to the tuples it emitted when a non-existent item was subscribed to. Previously, the adapter emitted closed tuples on both the events and market data ports for Market Feed (RMDS 5) but only on the market data port for Market Price (RMDS 6). To be consistent with its Market Feed behavior, the adapter now emits closed tuples on both ports for Market Price.
SB‑22516 The TREP-RT Subscribing Input adapter was updated to emit at least one tuple per market by order or market by price refresh message.
SB‑22442 The data dictionary file for the Currenex adapter was inadvertently removed from recent releases, but is now restored.
SB‑22408, SB‑22364 In release 7.1.8, Studio could lock up when attempting to edit a server configuration file with one or more <xi:include> statements. This was corrected.
SB‑22375 A Quick Fix wizard to remove unused imports was added in release 7.1.8. However, in cases where there were multiple unused imports in the same file, the Quick Fix removed only the first instance. This was corrected.
SB‑22365 The C++ and .NET Client Libraries were updated with better queue management. Clients now pause high-rate dequeuing from the server if the internal queues back up, to prevent excessive memory consumption.
SB‑22317 In previous releases, if you copied a Module Reference and disconnected the copy, the original Module Reference could lose its table association in the Tables tab of its Properties view. This was corrected.
SB‑22302 When using the StreamBase to StreamBase adapters with their Low Latency property disabled, duplicate data could be delivered in place of expected data. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22259 The Wombat MAMA Publishing Output adapter was updated to clarify WARN log messages from the adapter that occur when the feed dictionary changes, but the application still expects a field with a type defined in the previous dictionary.
SB‑22253 In previous releases, when processing millions of tuples, if queues become very backed up, StreamBase Server begins to manage memory growth. After emitting WARN log messages about the queue backup, under certain rare conditions, some amount of queue data could be lost or inappropriately replayed. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22252, SB‑21433 When dragging an operator from the Palette view and dropping it onto an existing Group on the canvas, Studio would place the new icon outside the Group, and, for a large Group, sometimes offscreen. This was fixed.
SB‑21273 If an output arc is part of a loop in an inner module, and lacks an explicit schema declaration, previous StreamBase releases would emit an XmlParsingException error. The same conditions now produce an error message "No schema specified for stream stream-path".
SB‑22099 In the Aggregate operator, the expression used for the opening policy is evaluated in a non-aggregate context and thereby must resolve to a simple function. In previous releases, no error or warning was issued if you used an aggregate function in the opening policy expression, and the module resulted in a NullPointerException at runtime. This case now has shows a typecheck error.
SB‑22092 When the Union operator detects a schema mismatch, Studio shows a SchemaMismatchException error. The (go to error) and (compare schemas) links were moved to the beginning of the tooltip message for this error so that they are always available even for very wide schemas.
SB‑22017 Arc bend points on the EventFlow canvas were not correctly restored when reloading a module. This was fixed.
SB‑21805 When you enabled an error port on operators with no output ports, an error dialog would result, even though the error port was created correctly. The appearance of the error dialog was suppressed for these cases.
SB‑21849, SB‑21431 When you opened an EventFlow module by double-clicking its related .sblayout file, Studio did not draw the Rearrange Components and Reroute Arcs buttons in the toolbar. This was corrected.
SB‑21501 In previous releases, Notes attached to output streams were not preserved. This was fixed.
SB‑20398 The Copy Schema From dialog was updated to include output streams as a source of schemas to copy.
Fixed in 7.1.8
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.8 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.18. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22257 If all operator parameters are configured to be emitted at server startup, a null string array parameter could cause the server to not start. This was corrected.
SB‑22213 In previous releases, adding a field to a named schema could in some circumstances change the order of schema definitions in a module or interface such that a schema's dependencies were defined after the schema that required them. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑22231 When StreamBase Server starts, it keeps an internal copy of the PATH environment variable, which it uses only to locate processes requested to be run by the External Process operator. In previous releases, on 64-bit Windows, an error prevented STREAMBASE_HOME/bin64 from appearing in this internal PATH, leaving STREAMBASE_HOME/bin as the first entry in the PATH. This was corrected.
SB‑22169, SB‑22173 The parse_time() function was interpreting time zone information in the supplied time string incorrectly. This was fixed.
SB‑22152 Consider a module that defines a named schema, X. A second module imports X, then creates its own named schema Y, that has X as one of its subfields. Now a third module wants to import and use schema Y. In previous releases, the third module would have to import both schemas X and Y so that Y.X was visible. The trail of imported schemas was corrected so that the third module now only needs to import schema Y.
SB‑22135 In previous releases, a Note attached to a Query Table could result in NullPointerException error when running Layout Application (Ctrl+L). This was corrected.
SB‑22130 In the Exegy Input adapter, the cached tuples used to emit level one equities and commodity messages are now properly synchronized.
SB‑22079 If you used Studio's text search feature to look for a string known to be in a Query operator's SQL statement, Studio would instead return the associated JDBC Table data source as containing that string. This was fixed.
SB‑22059 A complex feed simulation with multiple input streams that included lists would sometimes cause a Java NumberFormatException error. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑22036 The Exegy adapter was not setting cash position, delta, and halt prices correctly when creating baskets and setting halt prices on them. This was fixed.
SB‑22031 If you used the StreamBaseClient.subscribe(stream, logical_name, predicate) API to subscribe to a stream and specified a logical_name that included a period, the unsubscribe() method would fail to recognize that stream. This was fixed.
SB‑21417 The high availability sample in sample/ha was failing to run from its start scripts on Windows. This was corrected.
Fixed in 7.1.7
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.7 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.12, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.18. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑22072 In previous releases, long-running, high-volume enqueuing clients could, in some circumstances, exhaust StreamBase Server's input queue buffer capacity, resulting in a disconnected client after the connection timed out. This was corrected.
SB‑21880 An error in the Aggregate operator was causing expressions such as firstval(input1).* to run out of code size too soon. This was corrected.
SB‑21799 The error message caused by exceeding the maximum input packet size was clarified and improved.
SB‑21768 The schema for the status port of the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter was optimized to use current StreamBase APIs.
SB‑21589 In previous releases, if you dragged the left side of an arc from an input stream and reconnected the arc to another component, the arc incorrectly gained a declared schema, using the schema of the input stream. This was corrected.
SB‑20656 The Wombat MAMA Output adapter was verified to work over the TIBCO Rendezvous (RV) transport. You must obtain a Wombat library version that supports RV and is at least version 5.0.4 or later.
Fixed in 7.1.6
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.6 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.11, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.17. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21768 The schema for the status port of the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter was optimized to use current StreamBase APIs.
SB‑21711 The JMS embedded adapters were updated to emit tuples over the error port system to report failures to connect to or reconnect with a JMS server.
SB‑21700 It is valid to create a StreamBaseClient instance as part of an sbunit test, and subscribe to an output stream or enqueue to an input stream from that client. In previous releases, if you stopped and restarted containers while this client was connected to the server under test, the client failed to reconnect. This was corrected.
SB‑21655 When using the optional StreamBaseFIX FIX engine, FIX tag values greater than about 33000 resulted in an error when loading the data dictionary. This was corrected.
SB‑21602 An exception that could occur during initial connection using the Deutsche AutobahnFX Trading System adapter was fixed.
SB‑21583 A null pointer exception that could be thrown during typechecking of SQL statements in a Query-JDBC operator was corrected.
SB‑21277 A condition where a Union operator in a module in a loop could drop tuples was identified and corrected.
Fixed in 7.1.5
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.5 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.11, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.17. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21499 When using parameters in a server configuration file to specify data source information, the JDBC Data Construct did not preserve parameter notation such as ${ds} typed in the JDBC Data Source field. This was corrected.
SB‑21493 In previous releases, a disabled output stream could still update an associated dynamic variable, or prevent the module from compiling. This was fixed such that dynamic variables that depend on a disabled output stream are not updated.
SB‑21467 When your selected the Skip this page next time option for the StreamBase Component Exchange dialog's legal panel, that panel still appeared on subsequent invocations of the dialog. This was fixed.
SB‑21438 In previous releases, a port on which to run StreamBase Server specified in a server configuration file was honored for standard uses but ignored when running the same application as an embedded server as part of the StreamBase JUnit test framework. This was corrected.
SB‑21434 If you renamed more than one canvas group in the same editing session, Studio was preserving only the last group rename, resulting in groups not appearing the next time you opened that module. The cause was found and corrected.
SB‑21398 A formatting error that exposed an unexpanded {0} format placeholder in a typecheck message string was corrected.
SB‑21321 Opening an EventFlow module from Subversion history or from the repository browser view would result in a ClassCastException error. This was corrected.
SB‑21179 After running Studio's Zoom to Fit option, some arcs became misaligned and appeared to not quite touch the input port of the following component. This was corrected.
SB‑21100 Using Studio's Layout application command could result in unexpected arc placements, sometimes taking paths far out of the way to arrive at the adjacent component. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑20577 The maximum width of schemas was approximately doubled to avoid RuntimeException errors when attempting to compile applications with very wide schemas. The maximum width is around 2000 fields, but the exact number of fields that triggers this error condition depends on many factors, including list fields (whose member count is not known until actual use) and the presence and depth of nested fields.
SB‑19956 The Trace Debugger in Studio could show doubled stream entries in the Search chooser. This was fixed.
SB‑13271 Previous releases of the .NET Client Library did not provide a way to construct a new DequeueResult, while the Java Client Library did provide SimpleDequeueResult for this purpose. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API with the addition of the DequeueResult constructors. See Migrating .NET Clients.
SB‑12662 In previous releases of the .NET Client Library, using IsNull("wrong_field_name") threw the generic SEHException instead of StreamBase.SB.NoSuchFieldException. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API as described above.
Fixed in 7.1.4
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.4 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.10, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.16. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21249 When importing multiple table schemas that used private schemas from the same file, a Query Table could pick up an incorrect schema. This was fixed.
SB‑21198 In previous releases, a Stack Overflow Error could be thrown while bundling an application contained in a project with inadvertently circular project references. The bundler was updated to better handle these conditions.
SB‑21161 The Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing Input adapter, configured to process market feed and emit thin tuples, if it encountered an enumeration field with an invalid value, it generated an exception. This was fixed.
SB‑21158 Certain applications that use large schemas that were successfully compiled by StreamBase Server 7.0.x were failing to compile with 7.1.x. This was corrected.
SB‑21116 The rfa.jar library provided by Thomson Reuters was causing a Null Pointer Exception error when the library received a STATUS_RESP message that did not contain status state for the item stream. This error was corrected by upgrading the rfa.jar version shipped with StreamBase from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1.E4.
SB‑21114 In previous releases, using the Extract as Module command in the EventFlow Editor could result in several duplicate placeholder tables in the extracted Module Reference. This was corrected.
SB‑21098 In previous releases, when using an Edit Schema tab in the Properties view, Studio could throw a Stack Overflow Error that referred to java.util.TreeMap when adding a field to a multilevel schema. This was fixed.
SB‑21096 The use of xi:include in a server configuration file was not working as expected when sbd -f sbd.sbconf ... was run from a directory with spaces in its name. This was corrected.
SB‑21087 Studio was leaking memory by leaving instances of the EventFlow Editor in the heap under certain circumstances. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑21085 A corner case for unsupported, custom-generated application XML that passed typechecking in previous releases became invalid in StreamBase 7.x. StreamBase was updated to handle these cases.
SB‑21080 When using the FIX Schema Designer, FIX fields of type UTCTimestamp, UTCDate, UTCDateOnly, UTCTimeOnly, Time, and LocalMktDate are now correctly mapped as StreamBase timestamp fields instead of int fields.
SB‑21058 The pop-up Edit Expression dialog was not available when editing a dispatch expression for a Numeric dispatch style instance in the Concurrency tab of the Properties view for any component. This was corrected.
SB‑21056 Studio could throw a Null Pointer Exception when you edited the named schema that defined a Query Table shared between parent and child modules. This was corrected.
SB‑21047 Changes in interface files defined in one project were not causing Studio to rebuild modules in projects that referenced that project. This was fixed.
SB‑21044 In previous 7.1.x releases, the interface editor would display an error when you created a new interface with a table schema that uses a private schema. This was corrected.
SB‑21020 Using the EventFlow Editor's Extract as Module command followed by Undo was resulting in a Null Pointer Exception. This was fixed.
SB‑21007 In previous releases of the EventFlow Editor, on a canvas with one Query Table and two unconnected Query operators all in vertical alignment, if the cursor passed over Query1 when dragging an association arc from the table to Query2, the arc connection would be grabbed by Query1. This was fixed.
SB‑20969 Using the Extract as Module command in the EventFlow Editor could result in duplicate module parameters, which cause the extracted module to silently fail typechecking, leaving a Null Pointer Exception in the Error Log. This was corrected.
SB‑20960 Several customer-reported Java errors thrown by Studio were corrected. These include Null Pointer Exceptions and Unhandled event loop exceptions seen while editing schemas and table schemas.
SB‑20944 In previous 7.1.x releases, when using the Query operator with a JDBC data source and setting the explicit schema for the result set expected from a call to a stored procedure, the schema setting was not preserved when the module was saved. This was corrected.
SB‑20937 An issue in the IBM WebSphere MQ adapter with parsing XML messages into tuples was corrected. Fields containing XML escape sequences such as A &amp; B were inadvertently truncated, populating the tuple field with A instead of A & B.
SB‑20889 The Gather operator was updated to accept more than 31 incoming streams.
SB‑20867 Using a Query operator configured to output no rows from the query, but also configured with a group-by clause, would halt StreamBase Server with an XmlRpcManager exception. The cause was found and fixed.
SB‑20859 There were certain cases of dragging a module from the Package Explorer view to the canvas to form a Module Reference that worked in 6.6.x releases, but not in 7.x releases. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑20856 Error messages returned from a failure of an sbadmin modifyContainer removeConnection command were updated to provide more information about the failure.
SB‑20808 When using the Query operator associated with a JDBC data source, calls to certain stored procedures would return a No result set error. The operator was updated to handle these conditions without an error return, and the Result Settings tab documentation was updated to clarify that you do not need to specify a schema for stored procedures if no result set is expected.
SB‑20804 When reading a compressed input file, the Binary File Reader adapter was throwing a spurious WARN message about a protocol version mismatch. The adapter was updated to suppress this message.
SB‑20725 CPU intensive modules with loops that were designated to run in multiple concurrent threads would exhibit unfair sharing of CPU resources on multiple CPU machines. This was corrected.
SB‑20703 In the Data File Options dialog of the Feed Simulation Editor, StreamBase disallowed selecting Timestamp builder in the Map to file column if the First row as header check box was selected. This unnecessary restriction was removed.
SB‑20598 Container connections specified in a StreamBase deployment file were not always started in the specified order, which could prevent some connections from occurring in a multiple sbd environment. This was fixed.
SB‑17816 In previous releases, a custom simple function that returns void caused a Null Pointer Exception. This condition was corrected to report a typecheck error.
Fixed in 7.1.3

Release 7.1.3 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.8, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.14. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20772 The Interactive Data PlusFeed Input adapter could produce a Java error message instead of timing out when the adapter or the containing StreamBase Server was shutting down. This condition only affected the adapter in releases 6.6.14, 7.0.7, 7.0.8, and 7.1.2, and was corrected as of this release.
SB‑20768 Under certain circumstances, Studio could unnecessarily rebuild workspace projects more than necessary on changing project properties for a given project. The underlying cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑20758 The TBF adapter was emitting a null pointer exception when its recovery session did not have a matching feed reconnect session. This was fixed.
SB‑20676 The Query operator used with a JDBC Table data source was not saving explicit schemas correctly. This was fixed.
SB‑20642 In the Java Client Library, the internals of the SBServerManager and Dequeuer interfaces in the sb.unittest package were reworked to provide faster dequeues.
SB‑20605 In previous releases, the TBF Input adapter could stop processing retransmit requests if messages arrived out of order on the multicast feed. This was fixed.
SB‑20585 The expression language's strptime() function now supports the %p format specifier, which parses an AM/PM specifier in accordance with the current locale.
SB‑20565 An internal class was producing an error when included in debug output that was run with an elevated log level. This was corrected.
SB‑20559 In previous releases, adapters that use a file resource property would re-dirty the containing module immediately after saving the containing module in Studio. This was fixed.
SB‑20521 As before, StreamBase Systems does not recommend overriding the Operator.getName() method. However, StreamBase internals are now protected from the consequences if your application requires doing so.
SB‑20517 When the Studio preference setting Use middle mouse button to scroll instead of pan was selected, clicking with the middle mouse button in the EventFlow Editor would sometimes select an arc instead of scrolling. This was corrected.
SB‑20506 In the Containers tab of the Launch Configuration dialog, Studio inadvertently allowed changing the name of the container named default, despite Studio requiring the primary application module to run in default. Changing the name of the default container is now disallowed in that dialog.
SB‑20473 The Reuters Schema Designer feature lost its ability to connect to RFA6 servers after a recent update of the Reuters libraries. The cause was found and fixed.
SB‑20408 The EventFlow Editor in Studio could flicker and redraw excessively after deleting many operators. The cause was found and fixed.
Fixed in 7.1.2
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.2 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.7, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.14. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20614 In previous releases of the FIX adapter (and all adapters based on it) when using the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, tuples with a non-null list field representing a repeating group could be converted into a FIX message where the group's NumInGroup field would have a value of zero. This was corrected.
SB‑20550 In the Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing Input adapter, OMMData values with attribute isBlank=true are now discarded.
SB‑20512 Implicit type coercion from long to double was unnecessarily strict, and was prevented in some cases by the Server runtime after Studio allowed the conversion. The rules for long to double coercion were relaxed.
SB‑20495 Table schemas using named schemas were not being correctly added to applications when implementing an interface. This was fixed.
SB‑20469 Module-scoped dynamic variables were not correctly recognized in operator expressions. This was fixed.
SB‑20466 In previous releases, when using a Query read or delete operation on a Query Table, if you specified a group-by field and then used that same field as part of an aggregate output expression, the Query operation could result in an error. This was corrected.
SB‑20397 An issue with the sorting of the names of named schemas was fixed.
SB‑20391 The feed simulation for the RTD sample included with the StreamBase Adapter for Microsoft Excel had two columns out of order. This was corrected.
SB‑20325 An earlier fix, SB-19792, uncovered a conflict between Studio and certain adapters, including the TIBCO Subscribing Input adapter, that were using older classloaders. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑20321 A StackOverflowError was sometimes generated when saving portions of the Trading System Framework as a StreamBase bundle. This was fixed.
SB‑19883 Modules that implement an interface underwent unnecessary typechecking whenever any other module or interface file was saved. This was fixed.
SB‑19875 JMS embedded adapters were incorrectly handling white space in CDATA values in their configuration files. This was corrected.
Fixed in 7.1.1
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.1 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.6, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.13. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20345 A deadlock issue in the JMS adapter was detected and fixed.
SB‑20330 The data dictionary for the Currenex adapter was updated to more accurately reflect the latest Currenex specification.
SB‑20300 In some circumstances, the static evaluation feature added in release 7.1.0 was inadvertently changing -0.0 to 0.0 in expressions. This was corrected.
SB‑20299 The StreamBaseFIX FIX engine was updated with a mechanism to specify FIX message storage policy on a per-session basis. New settings in the adapter configuration file for the FIX adapter (and all StreamBase adapters that use the StreamBaseFIX engine) are <storage-factory> and <storage-directory>. These settings supercede the similar settings in the properties file, which allows per session settings.
SB‑20287 The FIX adapter, and all StreamBase adapters that use the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, were updated to correct a problem in the engine whereby an output adapter would write out the fields of a repeating group in the order in which they appeared in the StreamBase schema instead of the order of the data dictionary.
SB‑20286 A NullPointerException error could be emitted from the StreamBaseFIX FIX engine when parsing a FIX message with repeating groups. This was corrected.
SB‑20238 In some instances, the QuickFIX/J and StreamBaseFIX FIX engines were not correctly handling the LOCALMKTDATE FIX data type. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑20210, SB‑18957 In the output of the statv2 stream, and therefore also in StreamBase profiling reports, the hyphen+greater-than symbols (->) on Queue information lines that represents the division between the two sides of a queue, was changed to two colons (::). This makes profiling report information easier to export to XML format without special handling of the > symbol.
SB‑20200 Tooltips displayed by hovering over an EventFlow canvas component sometimes remained on the screen after closing Studio. This was corrected.
SB‑20198 In 7.1.0, when designating a generation method for a stream with an empty schema, clicking the Data File Options button in the Feed Simulation Editor resulted in an IndexOutOfBounds error. Starting with 7.1.1, the Data File Options dialog now opens, which allows you to specify a single column of timestamp data in such a file, for use with the Timestamp from column feature of the same dialog. See Using Timestamp from Column with Empty Schemas.
SB‑20175 Studio selects, centers, and highlights the EventFlow component containing a search string found by Eclipse File Search, as described on Text Search in Studio. In previous releases, this feature failed to apply to Notes or text in Notes; this was corrected.
SB‑19869 In previous releases, setting an explicit schema on an arc was not undoable in Studio. This was corrected.
Fixed in 7.1.0
Number Resolution
Release 7.1.0 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 7.0 series through release 7.0.5, and in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.12. See Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20126, SB‑19909 EventFlow Debugger: the blue highlighting for the current component was sometimes lost. This was fixed.
SB‑20047 The FIX adapter, and all StreamBase adapters that use the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, were updated so that log files that store the last sequence number of received messages are now correctly closed when the adapter exits, which allows deletion and cleanup of such files without shutting down StreamBase Server.
SB‑19983 EventFlow Debugger: stepping into a Filter operator could sometimes cause previously visited (and blue-highlighted) components to lose their highlighting. This was corrected.
SB‑19626 When using RefactorMove from the Package Explorer view's context menu to move an EventFlow file to another project folder, any associated .sblayout file was sometimes not moved at the same time. This was corrected.
SB‑19592 Special treatment of a Studio project subfolder named Resources was removed in release 6.4.0. As of release 7.1.0, special treatment of a Resources subfolder was removed from the sbfeedsim command as well.
SB‑19420, SB‑19392 In trace files, any blob fields are now hex encoded strings for better display. The Trace Debugger was updated to interpret and display hex encoded strings.
SB‑19202 For Studio on Linux, the Reroute Arcs function's keyboard shortcut was changed to Shift+L. Studio's keyboard shortcut on Windows for that function is Ctrl+Alt+L, but on Linux using a Gnome-based desktop, that key combination locks the screen by default.
SB‑18943 The keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B to toggle breakpoints on and off arcs was working in sequence if you had multiple arcs selected. This was corrected to toggle all selected arcs at once.
SB‑18787 Attempting to set an explicit private schema for the result set on
SB‑18572 EventFlow Group information was moved from the XML stored in .sbapp files to .sblayout files. The content of Notes remains in the .sbapp file, since Notes are effectively comments.
SB‑17223 Precompiled archive files (.sbar) might include a JDBC connection specification in the server configuration file of the project being archived. In previous releases, an archive generated on a build machine with a JDBC connection to a test JDBC database, would fail to validate when run on a production server with a JDBC connection to a different JDBC database. Starting with release 7.1.0, the tests for JDBC configuration settings in an archive file were relaxed, which allows you to configure separate test and production JDBC servers, as long as the data-source name is the same. The archive test also looks for identical quote strings, stored procedure return type, batch size and can-reconnect specifications, but no longer tests for machine-specific settings such as username and password, or the server name in the JDBC connection string.
SB‑16983 A limitation where replicated Query Tables could not have field names that were StreamSQL reserved words was fixed.
SB‑15943 The Property view in Studio can now display error and warning messages whose text occurs over multiple lines.
SB‑13159 In previous releases, clicking the Home button in the standalone Help viewer opened a generic page on how to use Eclipse Help. This was corrected to open the home page of StreamBase documentation.
SB‑11979 In a SQL statement specified in a Query operator connected to a JDBC data source, escaped curly braces were sometimes not interpreted correctly. This was fixed.
SB‑7389 Under some circumstances, an interval() function such as interval("09:30:00") did not compile to a constant in a compiled application. This was corrected to compile to a constant when possible, with rare exceptions caused by the operating system's time zone.
SB‑2547 In previous releases of the Client Library, when buffering enqueues from more than one stream, tuples could arrive out of order. StreamBase clients now maintain tuple order the same with enqueue buffering enabled as disabled. With buffering enabled, if the enqueue buffer fills up, further writes to the server are done on a separate thread.

Limitations Resolved in 7.0.x

Fixed in 7.0.12
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.12 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.18. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21880 An error in the Aggregate operator was causing expressions such as firstval(input1).* to run out of code size too soon. This was corrected.
SB‑21768 The schema for the status port of the FXall Relationship Trading Provider adapter was optimized to use current StreamBase APIs.
SB‑21655 When using the optional StreamBaseFIX FIX engine, FIX tag values greater than about 33000 resulted in an error when loading the data dictionary. This was corrected.
SB‑21648 The error message from calling sendOutput() on the instance of a Java operator used for typechecking was improved.
SB‑21602 An exception that could occur during initial connection using the Deutsche AutobahnFX Trading System adapter was fixed.
SB‑20656 The Wombat MAMA Output adapter was verified to work over the TIBCO Rendezvous (RV) transport. You must obtain a Wombat library version that supports RV and is at least version 5.0.4 or later.
Fixed in 7.0.11
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.17. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21438 In previous releases, a port on which to run StreamBase Server specified in a server configuration file was honored for standard uses but ignored when running same application as an embedded server as part of the StreamBase JUnit test framework. This was corrected.
SB‑21249 When importing multiple table schemas that used private schemas from the same file, a Query Table could pick up an incorrect schema. This was fixed.
SB‑21161 When the Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing Input adapter was configured to process market feed and emit thin tuples, if it encountered an enumeration field with an invalid value, it generated an exception. This was fixed.
SB‑13271 Previous releases of the .NET Client Library did not provide a way to construct a new DequeueResult, while the Java Client Library did provide SimpleDequeueResult for this purpose. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API with the addition of the DequeueResult constructors. See Migrating .NET Clients.
SB‑12662 In previous releases of the .NET Client Library, using IsNull("wrong_field_name") threw the generic SEHException instead of StreamBase.SB.NoSuchFieldException. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API as described above.
Fixed in 7.0.10
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.10 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.16. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑21249 When importing multiple table schemas that used private schemas from the same file, a Query Table could pick up an incorrect schema. This was fixed.
SB‑21198 In previous releases, a Stack Overflow Error could be thrown while bundling an application contained in a project with inadvertently circular project references. The bundler was updated to better handle these conditions.
SB‑21116 The rfa.jar library provided by Thomson Reuters was causing a Null Pointer Exception error when the library received a STATUS_RESP message that did not contain status state for the item stream. This error was corrected by upgrading the rfa.jar version shipped with StreamBase from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1.E4.
SB‑21114 In previous releases, using the Extract as Module command in the EventFlow Editor could result in several duplicate placeholder tables in the extracted Module Reference. This was corrected.
SB‑21098 In previous releases, when using an Edit Schema tab in the Properties view, Studio could throw a Stack Overflow Error that referred to java.util.TreeMap when adding a field to a multilevel schema. This was fixed.
SB‑21096 The use of xi:include in a StreamBase Server configuration file was not working as expected when sbd -f sbd.sbconf ... was run from a directory with spaces in its name. This was corrected.
SB‑21087 Studio was leaking memory by leaving instances of the EventFlow Editor in the heap under certain circumstances. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑21085 A corner case for unsupported, custom-generated application XML that passed typechecking in previous releases became invalid in StreamBase 7.x. StreamBase was updated to handle these cases.
SB‑21080 When using the FIX Schema Designer, FIX fields of type UTCTimestamp, UTCDate, UTCDateOnly, UTCTimeOnly, Time, and LocalMktDate are now correctly mapped as StreamBase timestamp fields instead of int fields.
SB‑21056 Studio could throw a Null Pointer Exception when you edited the named schema that defined a Query Table shared between parent and child modules. This was corrected.
SB‑21056 Studio could throw a Null Pointer Exception when you edited the named schema that defined a Query Table shared between parent and child modules. This was corrected.
SB‑21020 Using the EventFlow Editor's Extract as Module command followed by Undo was resulting in a Null Pointer Exception. This was fixed.
SB‑21007 In previous releases of the EventFlow Editor, on a canvas with one Query Table and two unconnected Query operators all in vertical alignment, if the cursor passed over Query1 when dragging an association arc from the table to Query2, the arc connection would be grabbed by Query1. This was fixed.
SB‑20969 Using the Extract as Module command in the EventFlow Editor could result in duplicate module parameters, which cause the extracted module to fail typechecking. This was corrected.
SB‑20859 There were certain cases of dragging a module from the Package Explorer view to the canvas to form a Module Reference that working in 6.6.x releases, but not in 7.x releases. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑20804 When reading a compressed input file, the Binary File Reader adapter was throwing a spurious WARN message about a protocol version mismatch. The adapter was updated to suppress this message.
SB‑20703 In the Data File Options dialog of the Feed Simulation Editor, StreamBase disallowed selecting Timestamp builder in the Map to file column if the First row as header check box was selected. This unnecessary restriction was removed.
SB‑17816 In previous releases, a custom simple function that returns void caused a Null Pointer Exception. This condition was corrected to report a typecheck error.
Fixed in 7.0.9
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.9 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.15. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20889 The Gather operator was updated to accept more than 31 incoming streams.
SB‑20867 Using a Query operator configured to output no rows from the query, but also configured with a group-by clause, would halt StreamBase Server with an XmlRpcManager exception. The cause was found and fixed.
SB‑20772 The Interactive Data PlusFeed Input adapter could produce a Java error message instead of timing out when the adapter or the containing StreamBase Server was shutting down. This condition only affected the adapter in releases 6.6.14, 7.0.7, 7.0.8, and 7.1.2, and was corrected as of this release.
SB‑20768 Under certain circumstances, Studio could unnecessarily rebuild workspace projects more than necessary on changing project properties for a given project. The underlying cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑20758 The TBF adapter was emitting a null pointer exception when its recovery session did not have a matching feed reconnect session. This was fixed.
SB‑20725 CPU intensive modules with loops that were designated to run in multiple concurrent threads would exhibit unfair sharing of CPU resources on multiple CPU machines. This was corrected.
SB‑20598 Container connections specified in a StreamBase deployment file were not always started in the specified order, which could prevent some connections from occurring in a multiple sbd environment. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.0.8
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.8 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20642 In the Java Client Library, the internals of the SBServerManager and Dequeuer interfaces in the sb.unittest package were reworked to provide faster dequeues.
SB‑20614 In previous releases of the FIX adapter (and all adapters based on it) when using the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, tuples with a non-null list field representing a repeating group could be converted into a FIX message where the group's NumInGroup field would have a value of zero.

SB‑20521 As before, StreamBase Systems does not recommend overriding the Operator.getName() method. However, StreamBase internals are now protected from the consequences if your application requires doing so.
SB‑20517 When the Studio preference setting Use middle mouse button to scroll instead of pan was selected, clicking with the middle mouse button in the EventFlow Editor would sometimes select an arc instead of scrolling. This was corrected.
SB‑20506 In the Containers tab of the Launch Configuration dialog, Studio inadvertently allowed changing the name of the container named default, despite Studio requiring the primary application module to run in default. Changing the name of the default container is now disallowed in that dialog.
SB‑20473 The Reuters Schema Designer feature lost its ability to connect to RFA6 servers after a recent update of the Reuters libraries. The cause was found and fixed.
SB‑20469 Module-scope dynamic variables were not correctly recognized in operator expressions. This was fixed.
SB‑20408 The EventFlow Editor in Studio could flicker and redraw excessively after deleting many operators. The cause was found and fixed.

SB‑19883 Modules that implement an interface underwent unnecessary typechecking whenever any other module or interface file was saved. This was fixed.
SB‑19875 JMS embedded adapters were incorrectly handling white space in CDATA values in their configuration files. This was corrected.
Fixed in 7.0.6
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.6 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x for details.
SB‑20286 A NullPointerException error could be emitted from the StreamBaseFIX FIX engine when parsing a FIX message with repeating groups. This was corrected.
SB‑20136 The StreamBase Admin operator, when running with its asynchronous option enabled, sometimes caused a null pointer exception error. This was fixed.
SB‑20069 Errors in aggregate expressions that attempted to access nested tuple fields were not detected at typecheck time, and instead caused a runtime error in the server. This was fixed.
SB‑20047 The FIX adapter, and all StreamBase adapters that use the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, were updated so that log files that store the last sequence number of received messages are now correctly closed when the adapter exits, which allows deletion and cleanup of such files without shutting down StreamBase Server.
SB‑19970 In previous 7.0.x releases, running the Reroute components and arcs for best layout function had the inadvertent effect of expanding any collapsed Groups. This was fixed to preserve Group status.
SB‑19931 In previous 7.0.x releases, the EBS adapter could fail to start. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑19917 In the Application Input and Output views, using the Copy as CSV function from the context menu always included values from the Time column, even when that column was configured to not appear. This was corrected such that Copy as CSV now copies only the visible columns.
SB‑19899 In previous 7.0.x releases, dragging an arc to the edge of the canvas did not automatically scroll the canvas in that direction. This was corrected and the pre-7.x behavior restored.
SB‑19853 Certain erroneous configurations involving a dynamic variable in the Group Options tab of a Query operator would incorrectly pass typechecking, but then cause a runtime error in the server. This was corrected.
SB‑19841 Studio would sometimes show a typechecking error message when in the Properties view when a field's expression definition began with a module parameter in the form ${param}. Studio was corrected to allow this valid construction without showing an error.
SB‑19772 In previous 7.0.x releases, double-clicking an Input Stream or Output Stream component on the canvas failed to open and bring its Properties view to the foreground. This was corrected.
SB‑19739 When loading EventFlow modules created with an earlier release into Studio 7.x, on occasion, an arc could be rendered with a gap. The cause was found and corrected.
SB‑19653 Errors in custom resolver functions now take into account any function aliases in use when reporting the error.
SB‑19351 In previous 7.0.x releases, the X X keyboard shortcut with no operators selected acted as if all operators were selected. This was corrected to restore the documented behavior, the same as in the 6.6.x release series, that X X without a selection draws an arc on the last two items placed on the canvas.
SB‑19223 In previous 7.0.x releases, copy and paste of an entire EventFlow module failed to copy Groups or Group contents. This was corrected.
SB‑19202 For Studio on Linux, the Reroute Arcs function's keyboard shortcut was changed to Shift+L. Studio's keyboard shortcut on Windows for that function is Ctrl+Alt+L, but on Linux using a Gnome-based desktop, that key combination locks the screen by default.
SB‑19087 In previous releases, when dragging a new Query operator to the canvas, the Group Options tab in its Properties view was immediately available, but any options entered there were not saved once you connected a data construct to the operator. Starting with 7.0.6, a new Query operator's Properties view shows only the General tab until a data construct is connected.
SB‑18851 The High Availability Finite State Machine sample was updated to correct minor errors.
SB‑15779 On the EventFlow canvas, running the Reroute Arcs function on a selected arc inside a Group resulted in the arc being routed around the Group. This was fixed.
Fixed in 7.0.5
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.5 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.12, and in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19702 Typecheck error messages from the Query operator could sometimes appear twice for one error. This was fixed.
SB‑19582 A race condition dealing with adding many containers at the same time with the StreamBase Admin operator was fixed.
SB‑19557 The TIBCO Subscribing Input adapter was emitting a Notice informational log message that reported the adapter's current queue size on receipt of every Tibrv message. This was fixed.
SB‑19461 The SettlDate field was added to the data dictionary for the EBS adapter.
SB‑19454 The temporary workspace directory created by the StreamBase Manager utility was getting created in the wrong location. This was corrected.
SB‑19441 In previous 7.0.x releases, the visual debugger in Studio showed placeholders instead of field names for Query Tables. This was fixed.
SB‑19421 In previous 7.0.x releases, collapsing then moving a group on the EventFlow canvas prevented the group from being uncollapsed. This was corrected.
SB‑19398 Error messages from the sbargen command now include file names for each error line.
SB‑19293 The StreamBase .bin file installer for Solaris for Intel would sometimes fail to extract files. This was corrected.
SB‑19273 The Reuters RMDS Contribution Output adapter was reading its configuration file in a nonstandard way that prevented applications that included this adapter from being bundled. This was corrected.
SB‑19010 In previous releases on Windows, a space in a path set by the TMP environment variable was not recognized. This was fixed.
SB‑18749 In recent releases, the default value for the Java property streambase.tmpdir was used even when a customer specified a different value on the sbd command line. This was corrected, and user-specified values are once again honored.
SB‑13159 In previous releases, clicking the Home button in the standalone Help Viewer opened a generic page on using Eclipse Help. This was corrected to open the home page of StreamBase documentation.
Fixed in 7.0.4
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.4 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.11, and in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19437 Java code that implemented the FXall Trading Provider and Trading Customer adapters was assigning names to schema instances constructed by the adapters, which sometimes caused a typechecking conflict if customer code specified a named schema with the same name. These adapters were updated to not assign names in Schema() constructors.
SB‑19433 In previous releases, setting the Log Level to -1 or -2 was honored when using the streambase.log-level system property, but not when using the STREAMBASE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable. This was corrected.
SB‑19424 An internal redundancy in the Log adapter was corrected. Customers who use the Log adapter configured at DEBUG or TRACE level in performance-sensitive paths should experience a significant performance improvement.
SB‑19288 ERROR messages were enhanced to include the name of the operator in which the error occurred.
SB‑19284 In the 6.6.x release series, if a bundle file included a precompiled archive file (.sbar file), and the sbd version running the bundle did not match the sbd version that generated the .sbar file, then sbd automatically fell back to compiling the EventFlow and StreamSQL modules contained in the bundle.

In releases 7.0.0 through 7.0.3, a version mismatch with a bundle's precompiled files did not automatically fall back to compiling the source files in the bundle, and instead stopped and reported the mismatch. As of release 7.0.4, this was corrected, and the 6.6 behavior was restored.

SB‑18792 In previous releases, in a custom Java operator or adapter, running the typecheck() method would sometimes remove the Description attribute for subtuple fields in a schema that included a list of tuples. This was corrected.
SB‑17915 In previous releases, when passing string values through the StreamBase .NET Client API, characters could be lost if the value contained non-Latin or other special characters. This was corrected, and now, if you configure both StreamBase Server and your .NET client environment for Unicode support as described on Unicode Support, there is no character loss when using the .NET API.
Fixed in 7.0.3

Release 7.0.3 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.11, and in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19301 In previous releases, the RMDS Contribute adapter was responding with an error in response to certain ACK and NAK messages. The cause was determined and corrected.
SB‑19264 A problem was found with schemas in Java Operator tuples that had multiple instances of the same nested named schema. The problem caused incorrect values to be set in the duplicated nested named schema. The problem was corrected.
SB‑19260 The FXall Relationship Trading Provider was inadvertently discarding an order when a quote for the order was withdrawn. This was fixed.
SB‑19247 Since release 7.0.0, the sbargen command has been using excess memory during application compilation, with the result that applications that precompiled easily in release 6.6.x failed to precompile in 7.0.0 through 7.0.2. The cause was found and the problem corrected.
SB‑19181 The getLeadershipStatus() function in the StreamBase expression language was not correctly working when used as part of a filtered subscribe predicate in a client application. This was fixed.
SB‑19173 In previous releases, Error Streams were overwriting explicitly set action field settings in the error tuple when crossing module boundaries. This was corrected.
SB‑19024 In previous releases, invalid time and date format streams were causing hard-to-decipher error messages on startup of StreamBase Server. Such errors are now better caught at typecheck time, and if not detected during typecheck, a more informative error message is produced.
SB‑18918 In previous releases, some exceptions thrown during application startup were missing some information when the application was loaded by means of the sbadmin addContainer command. This was corrected.
Fixed in 7.0.2
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.2 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.11, and in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19118 In previous 7.0.x releases, using the pinned feature of the Palette view did not survive Studio restarts. This was corrected, and Palette view pinning was restored to the same functionality as in release 6.6, as described in Palette View Drawer Pinning.
SB‑18758 A race condition when using the get or set dynamic variable feature was corrected.
Fixed in 7.0.1
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.1 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.10, and in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.11. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19013 Some parts of the C++ Client Library were ignoring the STREAMBASE_XMLRPC_TIMEOUT variable, leaving the XML RPC timeout at zero, meaning wait forever. This was corrected.
SB‑18981 Applications in 7.0.0 that used the Query Table replication feature could not be typechecked in Studio, but still typechecked and ran when running from the command line with sbd. This was fixed.
SB‑18901 In a rare configuration where the output port of one Query write operator was shared by two arcs, one leading to a second Query write operator updating the same Query Table, "old" table rows emitted to the third operator (such as the Map operator shown here) could contain incorrect values. The data in the Query Table itself was not corrupted. The condition was not triggered when the first Query operator was followed by any single operator, such as a Split connected to the second Query and third operators. The cause of the problem was identified and corrected.
SB‑18838 Applications that specified JDBC data sources could be bundled, but the bundle would sometimes not run, reporting an error message that the data source was modified since the application was compiled. This was corrected.
SB‑18566 In previous releases, when using the Query operator for Write-Insert or Write-Update operations, if you selected Assign these values to "new" table row for the behavior-on-failure control, the default value provided for tuple fields was tuple(null), which failed to validate. This was fixed, and the default value now provided for all data types is simply null.
SB‑18305 StreamBase bundle files created with the -c option were correctly generating a precompiled archive file, and the .sbar file was included in the bundle. However, when running such a bundle, StreamBase Server would sometimes not use the .sbar file, resulting in slower startup times than expected. This was corrected.
SB‑18807 In-memory Query Tables that use secondary indices were optimized to reduce their memory overhead. Improvements on the order of 10 to 25% less overhead have been seen in real world applications.
SB‑18726 In previous releases, only selecting without changing a Module Reference that contained a placeholder table would incorrectly flag the EventFlow Editor session as needing to be saved. This was fixed.
SB‑18716 A version issue with the MarketFactory API JAR file included with StreamBase was corrected.
SB‑18713 File chooser dialogs in Studio were failing to show StreamBase interface files imported from other modules. This was fixed.
SB‑18672 In previous releases, the return type of custom Java functions was not checked for validity. This was corrected.
SB‑18669 A race condition was found and corrected that could cause a DLL crash in the Microsoft Excel external adapter when used with Excel 2010.
SB‑18661 In the EBS adapter, a Mina parsing error was corrected.
SB‑18658 The Currenex and EBS output adapters were reporting a null pointer exception when tuples were sent before the adapter's FIX connection was established. Now tuples sent to these output adapters before the connection is established are dropped and reported on the console.
SB‑18481 StreamBase JUnit tests with an external data source configured in the server configuration file could fail with the erroneous error data source is already defined. This was corrected.
SB‑18425 The Load StreamBase Component Exchange dialog could appear to be empty if you scrolled to the bottom of the dialog and then used the search feature. This was fixed.
SB‑18120 The JSONTupleMaker class in the StreamBase unit test API was enhanced to report errors on unexpected or mismatched fields in JSON strings used in test classes.
SB‑17822 In release 7.0.0, memory-based Query Tables could not be safely expanded and viewed when using the Visual Debugger in StreamBase Studio. This was corrected.
SB‑17726 In some cases, an operator parameter specified in the server configuration file was not correctly expanded when referenced with ${param} in a module parameter. This cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑17714 When using the Visual Debugger in StreamBase Studio, Studio now automatically opens the Editor tab of the associated EventFlow Editor for the active module when you click a stack frame line in the Debug view.
Fixed in 7.0.0
Number Resolution
Release 7.0.0 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.6 series through release 6.6.6, and the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.6.x and Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑16936, SB‑16975 In previous releases, running ProjectClean on a StreamBase project while EventFlow or StreamSQL Editor sessions are open could leave those editors unable to complete typechecking under some circumstances. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑15596 Using RefactorRename on a Studio project folder was failing to adjust the project's module search path and resource search path properties. This was corrected.
SB‑14436 Starting with release 7.0.0, output streams that use a declared schema now pass typechecking without a stream connected to their input port. This allows output streams with declared schemas to be used in StreamBase interfaces.
SB‑12993 The Union operator no longer requires the order of sub-fields in tuple fields to match when using the default Loose union setting. However, sub-field order must still match when using the Strict union or Declared schema options, as described in the Known Issues section.

SB‑22728 A minor issue with Group-By expressions in Query Table Read operations that access fields in the table was found and fixed.
SB‑22708 The wording of a queue updating message was changed to more accurately reflect the condition reported. This message previously reported "Deadlock detected: queue-path, queue expanding by nn tuples." While a deadlock was very remotely possible under those conditions, the message was only meant to convey that the server had to expand this queue because the consumer side of the queue was consuming slower than the producer side was producing. The new wording for this message is:

WARN: FQ classname - Queue queue-path expanding by nnn tuples because the consumer is slower than the producer. Waited ttt milliseconds.

SB‑22627 The Wombat Publishing adapter was inadvertently truncating integers to shorts in populating I32 message fields. This was corrected.

Release 6.6.19 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑22259 The Wombat MAMA Publishing Output adapter was updated to clarify WARN log messages from the adapter that occur when the feed dictionary changes, but the application still expects a field with a type defined in the previous dictionary.
SB‑22231 When StreamBase Server starts, it keeps an internal copy of the PATH environment variable, which it uses only to locate processes requested to be run by the External Process operator. In previous releases, on 64-bit Windows, an error prevented STREAMBASE_HOME/bin64 from appearing in this internal PATH, leaving STREAMBASE_HOME/bin as the first entry in the PATH. This was corrected.
SB‑21848 In previous releases, multiple Update operations from Query operators in separate threads to an in-memory Query Table showed non-atomic behavior, whereas the same case for an on-disk Query Table did not. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑21417 The high availability sample in sample/ha was failing to run from its start scripts on Windows. This was corrected.

Release 6.6.17 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑21438 In previous releases, a port specified in a server configuration file on which to run StreamBase Server was honored for standard uses but ignored when running same application as an embedded server as part of the StreamBase JUnit test framework. This was corrected.
SB‑21161 The Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing Input adapter, configured to process market feed and emit thin tuples, if it encountered an enumeration field with an invalid value, it generated an exception. This was fixed.
SB‑20273 In previous releases, certain StreamBase-provided and customer-written input adapters that emit tuples at high rates could incur timeouts when being shut down or suspended. This was corrected.
SB‑13271 Previous releases of the .NET Client Library did not provide a way to construct a new DequeueResult, while the Java Client Library provided SimpleDequeueResult for this purpose. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API with the addition of the DequeueResult constructors. See Migrating .NET Clients.
SB‑12662 In previous releases of the .NET Client Library, using IsNull("wrong_field_name") threw the generic SEHException instead of StreamBase.SB.NoSuchFieldException. This situation was corrected in the October 2011 refresh of the .NET API as described above.

Release 6.6.16 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑21116 The rfa.jar library provided by Thomson Reuters was causing a Null Pointer Exception error when the library received a STATUS_RESP message that did not contain status state for the item stream. This error was corrected by upgrading the rfa.jar version shipped with StreamBase from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1.E4.
SB‑20937 An issue in the IBM WebSphere MQ adapter with parsing XML messages into tuples was corrected. Fields containing XML escape sequences such as A &amp; B were inadvertently truncated, populating the tuple field with A instead of A & B.
SB‑17816 In previous releases, a custom simple function that returns void caused a Null Pointer Exception. This condition was corrected to report a typecheck error.

Release 6.6.15 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑20772 The Interactive Data PlusFeed Input adapter could produce a Java error message instead of timing out when the adapter or the containing StreamBase Server was shutting down. This condition only affected the adapter in releases 6.6.14, 7.0.7, 7.0.8, and 7.1.2, and was corrected as of this release.
SB‑20758 The TBF adapter was emitting a null pointer exception when its recovery session did not have a matching feed reconnect session. This was fixed.
SB‑20725 CPU intensive modules with loops that were designated to run in multiple concurrent threads would exhibit unfair sharing of CPU resources on multiple CPU machines. This was corrected.
SB‑20642 In the Java Client Library, the internals of the SBServerManager and Dequeuer interfaces in the sb.unittest package were reworked to provide faster dequeues.
SB‑20614 In previous releases of the FIX adapter (and all adapters based on it) when using the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, tuples with a non-null list field representing a repeating group could be converted into a FIX message where the group's NumInGroup field would have a value of zero. This was corrected.
SB‑20605 In previous releases, the TBF Input adapter could stop processing retransmit requests if messages arrived out of order on the multicast feed. This was fixed.
SB‑20565 An internal class was producing an error when included in debug output that was run with an elevated log level. This was corrected.
SB‑20521 As before, StreamBase Systems does not recommend overriding the Operator.getName() method. However, StreamBase internals are now protected from the consequences if your application requires doing so.
SB‑20473 The Reuters Schema Designer feature lost its ability to connect to RFA6 servers after a recent update of the Reuters libraries. The cause was found and fixed.

SB‑20550 In the Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing Input adapter, OMMData values with attribute isBlank=true are now discarded.
SB‑20499 The Wombat MAMA adapters were updated to allow configuration of their properties before the required third-party Wombat JAR file has been installed. This corrects the NoClassDefFoundError messages seen when starting Studio for Linux at the command prompt.
SB‑20469 Module-scope dynamic variables were not correctly recognized in operator expressions. This was fixed.
SB‑20391 The feed simulation for the RTD sample included with the StreamBase Adapter for Microsoft Excel had two columns out of order. This was corrected.
SB‑20345 A deadlock issue in the JMS adapter was detected and fixed.
SB‑20330 The data dictionary for the Currenex adapter was updated to more accurately reflect the latest Currenex specification.
SB‑20325 An earlier fix, SB-19792, uncovered a conflict between Studio and certain adapters, including the TIBCO Subscribe adapter, that were using older classloaders. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑20299 The StreamBaseFIX FIX engine was updated with a mechanism to specify FIX message storage policy on a per-session basis. New settings in the adapter configuration file for the FIX adapter (and all StreamBase adapters that use the StreamBaseFIX engine) are <storage-factory> and <storage-directory>. These settings supersede the similar settings in the properties file, which allows per session settings.
SB‑20287 The FIX adapter, and all StreamBase adapters that use the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, were updated to correct a problem in the engine whereby an output adapter would write out the fields of a repeating group in the order in which they appeared in the StreamBase schema instead of the order of the data dictionary.
SB‑20286 A NullPointerException error could be emitted from the StreamBaseFIX FIX engine when parsing a FIX message with repeating groups. This was corrected.
SB‑20238 In some instances, the QuickFIX/J and StreamBaseFIX FIX engines were not correctly handling the LOCALMKTDATE FIX data type. The cause was identified and corrected.

SB‑20220 The Thomson Reuters RMDS Subscribing Input adapter was updated to download its data dictionary only once per connection when using the RMDS 6 message model.
SB‑20216, SB‑18913 In interactive monitoring of a running application with StreamBase Manager or the sbmonitor command, queue size information was not being updated correctly, with the result that some queues that appeared to be empty were not. In addition, the batch processing time and batch latency values were sometimes reported as negative numbers. These issues were corrected.
SB‑20214 Using the HotspotFX adapter with a getAllTrades request resulted in an error message. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑20073, SB‑19776 When the Thomson Reuters RMDS adapter was used in a certain sequence of events (subscribe, duplicate subscribe, unsubscribe, subscribe), the duplicate subscribe would silently override the unsubscribe, resulting in two subscriptions. This was fixed.
SB‑20047 The FIX adapter, and all StreamBase adapters that use the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, were updated so that log files that store the last sequence number of received messages are now correctly closed when the adapter exits, which allows deletion and cleanup of such files without shutting down StreamBase Server.
SB‑20041 The CSV File Writer Input adapter was emitting an incorrect filename for a Closed event. This was fixed.
SB‑20039 The CSV File Writer Input adapter was updated so that its File Name property is optional if the Start Control Port property is enabled. The adapter emits a warning if a write tuple is enqueued before an output file has been opened, which can happen if no File Name is specified and a start control tuple with a file name has not yet been enqueued.
SB-19959 The Thomson Reuters RMDS Contribution Output adapter was inadvertently dividing by 10,000 when publishing or contributing a Reuters Real32 field using a StreamBase int field. This was fixed.
SB-19928 The Currenex adapter had issues dealing with non-ASCII characters in schema definitions used in Java operators. This was resolved.
SB‑19792 A PermGen memory leak in Studio was resolved. This leak would affect users whose workspaces contained projects with large numbers of libraries on the Java Build Path. The leak would manifest with Studio eventually displaying an OutOfMemoryError referring to PermGen space.
SB‑19707 The Wombat MAMA Input adapter would occasionally fail to send an Init tuple when subscribing to a symbol. This was fixed.
SB‑19702 Typecheck error messages from the Query operator could sometimes appear twice for one error. This was fixed.
SB‑19673 The CSV File Writer Input adapter no longer shuts down if the configured file cannot be opened during startup and a Start Control Port is enabled.
SB‑18791 In previous releases, in a Schema tab of the Properties view for an operator, if the schema was defined by a named schema or table schema, the entire grid was disabled including its scroll bars, which prevented read-only inspection of the full grid. Starting with this release, under the same circumstances, the scroll bars for schema grids remain enabled, which allows you to browse the read-only fields.
SB‑18790 In previous releases, when using the EventFlow Debugger, breakpoints in modules that had multiplicity enabled were never hit. This was corrected.
SB‑16223 In previous releases, a custom Java function that returns a list would cause a null pointer exception if the function returned a list(null). This was fixed, and a list(null) is now correctly returned.
SB‑13159 In previous releases, clicking the Home button in the standalone Help Viewer opened a generic page on using Eclipse Help. This was corrected to open the home page of StreamBase documentation.

Release 6.6.12 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19557 The TIBCO Subscribing Input adapter was emitting a Notice informational log message that reported the adapter's current queue size on receipt of every Tibrv message. This was fixed.
SB‑19560 A race condition in memory Query Table pooling was found and fixed. This issue could only be triggered when updating a memory Query Table from two or more different parallel regions simultaneously.
SB‑19461 The SettlDate field was added to the data dictionary for the EBS adapter.
SB‑19437 Java code that implemented the FXall Trading Provider and Trading Customer adapters was assigning names to schema instances constructed by the adapters, which sometimes caused a typechecking conflict if customer code specified a named schema with the same name. These adapters were updated to not assign names in Schema() constructors.
SB‑19433 In previous releases, setting the Log Level to -1 or -2 was honored when using the streambase.log-level system property, but not when using the STREAMBASE_LOG_LEVEL environment variable. This was corrected.
SB‑19424 An internal redundancy in the Log adapter was corrected. Customers who use the Log adapter configured at DEBUG or TRACE level in performance-sensitive paths should experience a significant performance improvement.
SB‑19398 Error messages from the sbargen command now include file names for each error line.
SB‑19301 In previous releases, the RMDS Contribute adapter was responding with an error in response to certain ACK and NAK messages. The cause was determined and corrected.
SB‑19293 The StreamBase .bin file installer for Solaris for Intel would sometimes fail to extract files. This was corrected.
SB‑19288 ERROR messages were enhanced to include the name of the operator in which the error occurred.
SB‑19273 The Reuters RMDS Contribution Output adapter was reading its configuration file in a nonstandard way that prevented applications that included this adapter from being bundled. This was corrected.
SB‑19260 The FXall Relationship Trading Provider was inadvertently discarding an order when a quote for the order was withdrawn. This was fixed.
SB‑19181 The getLeadershipStatus() function in the StreamBase expression language was not correctly working when used as part of a filtered subscribe predicate in a client application. This was fixed.
SB‑19024 In previous releases, invalid time and date format streams were causing hard-to-decipher error messages on startup of StreamBase Server. Such errors are now better caught at typecheck time, and if not detected during typecheck, a more informative error message is produced.
SB‑19010 In previous releases on Windows, a space in a path set by the TMP environment variable was not recognized. This was fixed.
SB‑18918 In previous releases, some exceptions thrown during application startup were missing some information when the application was loaded by means of the sbadmin addContainer command. This was corrected.
SB‑18792 In previous releases, in a custom Java operator or adapter, running the typecheck() method would sometimes remove the Description attribute for subtuple fields in a schema that included a list of tuples. This was corrected.
SB‑18749 In recent releases, the default value for the Java property streambase.tmpdir was used even when a customer specified a different value on the sbd command line. This was corrected, and user-specified values are once again honored.

Release 6.6.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑19110 Expressions that combined a StreamBase constant with an asterisk to indicate all fields were incorrectly failing to typecheck. This was fixed.
SB‑19137 The 29West LBM Publishing output adapter was throwing a NullPointerException when run with streambase.operator.parameters.log-level set to 3. This was corrected.
SB‑19028 In previous releases, there were cases where Studio would show a typecheck error due only to field ordering differences between two schemas, but the same module would run as expected in StreamBase Server. Studio typechecking was corrected.
SB‑19022 In previous releases, when using a valid, defined parameter in ${PARAMETER} format in the Join operator's Tuple-based Settings tab, Studio failed to substitute parameter values, resulting in a typecheck error. This was fixed.
SB‑19013 Some parts of the C++ Client Library were ignoring the STREAMBASE_XMLRPC_TIMEOUT variable, leaving the XML RPC timeout at zero, meaning wait forever. This was corrected.
SB‑18929 The FIX data dictionary used by the Currenex adapter was corrected to use data type int for field tag 460 with name "Product".
SB‑18980 Modules with complex module importation patterns were generating spurious typecheck errors. For example, let's say file A.sbint defines named schema A; file B.sbint defines schema B which has a tuple field of type A (imported from A.sbint); then file C.sbapp imports from B.sbint. In previous releases, module C.sbapp would show a typecheck error, complaining that schema A could not be found. This was corrected.
SB‑18960 The Studio Visual Debugger would sometimes miss breakpoints in complex applications that use extension points, especially those set before a Once adapter or other functionality that occurred early. The debugger was corrected for those cases.
SB‑18905 A memory leak in list handling in the C++ and .NET versions of the StreamBaseClient API was fixed.
SB‑18864 When using the Extract as Module command from the context menu in Studio, layout information was being written to the .sbapp file, even when the preference was set to use .sblayout files. This was corrected.
SB‑18838 Applications that specified JDBC data sources could be bundled, but the bundle would sometimes not run, reporting an error message that the data source was modified since the application was compiled. This was corrected.
SB‑18809 The Reuters RMDS Publishing adapter was issuing a confusing error message that reported "no subscribers" after responding to an incoming subscribe request for a RIC.

The expected usage is for the StreamBase application to always issue a REFRESH action in response to a subscribe request before issuing any updates. Accordingly, the adapter was updated to distinguish the true no-subscriber case from the case immediately after receiving a subscribe request. The WARN message for the latter case now reads "There are 0 pending snapshots and 1 pending subscriptions but no active subscriptions for item RICname. Consider publishing a REFRESH instead."

SB‑18901 In a rare configuration where the output port of one Query write operator was shared by two arcs, one leading to a second Query write operator updating the same Query Table, "old" table rows emitted to the third operator (such as the Map operator shown here) could contain incorrect values. The data in the Query Table itself was not corrupted. The condition was not triggered when the first Query operator was followed by any single operator, such as a Split connected to the second Query and third operators.

SB‑18869 Message throughput of the 29West LBM Publishing adapter was not at the expected level compared to a similar Java client. This was corrected.
SB‑18868 The 29West LBM adapters were failing to locate their configuration files on the resource search path, leading to a conflict between Studio typechecking and runtime typechecking. This was corrected.
SB‑18867 The 29West LBM Subscribing input adapter could fail to subscribe to a topic. This was fixed.
SB‑18847 The 29West LBM Publishing Output adapter was emitting the error topic already associated with a source because idle topics were inadvertently discarded after a short period of inactivity. The cause was identified and fixed.
SB‑18846 Shutting down a container that includes a FIX adapter before it has completely initialized no longer throws an exception.
SB‑18845 A custom aggregate function called by a defined alias was failing when reused with a different schema. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑18731 When running a feed simulation, using the rate slider control in the Feed Simulations view could sometimes cause the simulation to stop sending data and enter an infinite loop. This was fixed.

SB‑18305 StreamBase bundle files created with the -c option were correctly generating a precompiled archive file, and the .sbar file was included in the bundle. However, when running such a bundle, StreamBase Server would sometimes not use the .sbar file, resulting in slower startup times than expected. This was corrected.
SB‑18726 In previous releases, only selecting without changing a Module Reference that contained a placeholder table would incorrectly flag the EventFlow Editor session as needing to be saved. This was fixed.
SB‑18716 A version issue with the MarketFactory API JAR file included with StreamBase was corrected.
SB‑18713 File chooser dialogs in Studio were failing to show StreamBase interface files imported from other modules. This was fixed.
SB‑18672 In previous releases, the return type of custom Java functions was not checked for validity. This was corrected.
SB‑18669 A race condition was found and corrected that could cause a DLL crash in the Microsoft Excel external adapter when used with Excel 2010.
SB‑18661 In the EBS adapter, a Mina parsing error was corrected.
SB‑18658 The Currenex and EBS output adapters were reporting a null pointer exception when tuples were sent before the adapter's FIX connection was established. Now tuples sent to these output adapters before the connection is established are dropped and reported on the console.
SB‑18582 In previous releases, if you began a Property view edit, then switched to a non-EventFlow Editor session, then back, your edits were not preserved. This was corrected.
SB‑18481 StreamBase JUnit tests with an external data source configured in the server configuration file could fail with the erroneous error data source is already defined. This was corrected.
SB‑18425 The Load StreamBase Component Exchange dialog could appear to be empty if you scrolled to the bottom of the dialog and then used the search feature. This was fixed.
SB‑17726 In some cases, an operator parameter specified in the server configuration file was not correctly expanded when referenced with ${param} in a module parameter. This cause was identified and corrected.
Fixed in 6.6.7
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.7 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑18627 The EBS adapter was updated to not require the Username, Password, or NewPassword properties in its configuration file when the adapter runs as an acceptor.
SB‑18593 The FIX adapter, and adapters based on it, including the EBS adapter, could fail to read FIX 5.0 data dictionary files when running with the QuickFIX/J FIX engine. This was corrected.
SB‑18529 The Reuters RMDS Publishing Output adapter was publishing ASCII and UTF-8 strings incorrectly, and in a way that could not be consumed by Microsoft Excel clients. This was fixed.
SB‑18526 The Reuters D3000 adapter honored the resource search path during typechecking, but failed to honor it at runtime. This caused the adapter to fail to locate its instrument price format file if placed in a different directory that the StreamBase application file. This was corrected.
SB‑18461 The CSV File Writer adapter was failing to recover from a disk full event, and did not continue writing output when disk space was cleared. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.6.6
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.6 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑18337 An issue involving Query read operations that used complex group-by expressions was identified and fixed.
SB‑18259 In previous releases, Studio was incorrectly flagging as a duplicate action error certain expressions that used an asterisk in both Field Name and Expressions columns. This was corrected.
SB‑18165 When using multiple TIBCO Rendezvous embedded input adapters in the same StreamBase application, a race condition could result in spurious warnings and null pointer exceptions when under heavy message loads. This was fixed.
SB‑18160 The TIBCO Rendezvous embedded input adapter now allows a specific field ID to be present at multiple levels in a Tibrv message.
SB‑18045 In previous releases, if the IBM WebSphere MQ output adapter was configured to not generate XML from tuple fields, and the adapter's input schema contained both a payload (string) field and a metadata (tuple) field, then the adapter could generate an erroneous typecheck error: "Error(s) in schema of input port (1): Exactly one field (of type string) must be present when not generating XML from tuple fields". This was corrected.
SB‑17968 In previous releases, if a Query-Read operator used an imported table schema and specified match input with null values if now rows were found, the Query operator would fail typechecking after modifying the table schema; but the typechecking state was cleared just by selecting the Query operator and re-saving the module. This cause for this condition was identified and corrected.
SB‑17869 In previous releases, StreamBase JUnit tests did not set the library path for the StreamBase Server that the test invoked to run the test, which prevented any module that used disk-based Query Tables to fail to run. As of release 6.6.6, JUnit tests set the library path to STREAMBASE_HOME/lib or /lib64, as appropriate for the server version you are testing with.
SB‑17821 In previous Studio releases, for EventFlow applications with very long description text for any component, running View Source from the context menu of the canvas would create a non-resizable window the full width of the monitor. This was fixed, and the source view window is now always resizable.
SB‑17799 Threading and performance issues in the CSV Socket Writer adapter were identified and corrected.
SB‑17551 StreamBase Admin operators that specified the correct URI syntax were still not correctly connecting to remote servers. This was fixed.
SB‑17294 In StreamBase Manager, the field that reports the CPU usage of a process was not correctly showing large percentage numbers. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.6.5
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.5 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.9. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑17662 A rare deadlock situation involving parallel access to memory-based Query Tables was fixed.
SB‑17661 The ActivFeed Input adapter was updated to use the originating exchange's time zone when processing timestamp fields, as specified by Activ.
SB‑17649 In previous releases on Linux, the stop subcommand of the /etc/init.d/streambase script failed to stop a running instance of StreamBase Server. This was corrected.
SB‑17633 The Reuters RMDS Publishing Output adapter was not setting an expected flag to indicate completion in non-hierarchical refresh messages. This was corrected.
SB‑17619 Running sbd –b at the StreamBase Command Prompt was producing a crash report. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑17600 The Reuters RMDS Publishing Output adapter could lose track of subscriptions to a RIC when two clients subscribed and the second client unsubscribed. This was fixed.
SB‑17573 The Extension Point operator was failing to enforce unique reference names for modules. This was corrected.
SB‑17550 Some StreamBase adapters, including the FIX adapter and adapters that inherit from it, allow you to set a logging level independently of the hosting StreamBase Server's logging level. In previous releases, this feature worked for the Logback logging mechanism that is used by Studio and when sbd is run interactively. However, the adapter log levels did not work with the log4j logging mechanism that is used when running sbd –b or when running StreamBase Server as a Windows service. As of releases 6.5.9 and 6.6.5, adapter log level settings are honored in all contexts.
SB‑17545 When the Copy Schema From dialog prompted to save the application, and you did save, the Copy Schema dialog failed to reappear. This was corrected.
SB‑17499 A schema-bearing operator followed by a downstream operator with a declared schema was causing an EvalPluginException if the declared schema specified a different field order. This was fixed.
SB‑17443 The StreamBase Server configuration file validator failed to support custom functions that took a list of tuples as an argument. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.6.4
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.4 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.8. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑17427 A rounding error was affecting the feed simulator when using a CSV data file as input and the Timestamp from column feature, with the result that timestamps with millisecond components were batched into one second groups. This was corrected.
SB‑17425 Calling Schema.getName() in the typecheck() method for a Java operator or adapter once again returns any schema name set in the properties for that operator or adapter. This capability was present in early 6.5.x releases, was inadvertently removed, and is now restored in releases 6.5.9 and 6.6.4.
SB‑17497 In the StreamBase .NET API, running Tuple.SetList() for a list of longs was throwing an exception. This was fixed.
SB‑17417 The Studio typecheck cache was not correctly flushed when an imported table schema was modified with a new field. This was corrected.
SB‑17392 The installer for 64-bit Windows now creates the placeholder registry key sbd64.n.m for the authentication keys that can be configured for the 64-bit version of StreamBase Server, as described on StreamBase Registry Keys on Windows.
SB‑17366 Typecheck errors could be seen in a newly created EventFlow application that was created with FileNew with the Implement interfaces option selected and the selected interface used schemas that imported schema definitions. This was corrected.
SB‑17335 The combination of a Java operator with a schema and an immediately downstream operator with an explicitly declared schema could fail with an internal error if the explicit schema defined fields in a different order. The internal error condition was eliminated.
SB‑16827 The Edit Table Schema dialog was failing to draw scrollbars for very large schemas, which prevented the Add, Edit, and Remove buttons from showing. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.6.3
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.3 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.8. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑16999 If the text of a Note component on the EventFlow canvas contained a string such as ${text} that could be interpreted as a reference to a variable or parameter, the containing module gave a typecheck error. This was corrected by URL encoding such strings in the EventFlow XML.
SB‑17267, SB‑17237 In previous releases, there were issues with table references, where a Query Table in module A referenced a placeholder table in a Module Reference to module B, and module B in turn imported table schemas from module C. Symptoms included an inability to access the Query Table in module A, and the secondary index failing to appear as an index option for Query Read operations. The cause of these issues was identified and corrected.
SB‑17158 In the QuickFIX/J library used by the FIX adapter, the FIX message field OrigSendingTime, optionally included in the adapter output schema, now checks the QuickFIX/J configuration setting MillisecondsinTimeStamp, also used by the SendingTime field, to determine whether to include milliseconds. This setting is set to Y by default.
Fixed in 6.6.2
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.2 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.7. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑17170 In release 6.6.1 only, an inadvertent error prevented using the mouse to connect the second and subsequent arcs from an operator or module reference with two or more output ports to the next downstream component. In 6.6.1, keyboard shortcuts and context menu actions were unaffected and still worked normally to make the same arc connections. The mouse arc connection issue was fixed in release 6.6.2.
SB‑17124 When using the Alpha Trading Systems EMAPI Order Entry adapter, the Passive Only field was inadvertently set to null for update messages. This was corrected.
SB‑17189 A cache used in conjunction with Query Tables was causing excessive object creation during Query Table writes, which in turned caused excessive garbage collection activity. This was fixed.
SB‑17185 StreamBase Server collects statistics as it runs and emits those as tuples from the system container's stat stream. The collection of statistics for the stat stream was optimized to improve caching and to prevent allocating excessive objects. The default size of the stat stream's tuple cache was changed to dynamically grow as needed by the application. You can control the stat stream's cache size by means of the system property streambase.max-stat-tuples-cache. The default value is –1.
SB‑17165 An error with Query Table replication was fixed for cases of two tables with the same name but different schemas in the same application.
Fixed in 6.6.1
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.1 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.6. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑17080 In release 6.6.0, there were cases where the Properties view for a Module Reference could lose its connection to the underlying EventFlow Editor, which forced re-entering property settings. In release 6.6.1, the cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑17066 StreamBase client applications written with the C++ Client Library could enter a loop that consumed 100% of CPU resources, if the client application called dequeue() with a 0 timeout, and no tuples were enqueued to any stream that client subscribed to. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB‑16968 The StreamBase IBM WebSphere MQ Adapter was not emitting an Event Port tuple when it was unable to process a message. This was fixed.
SB‑16950 The Interface tab of the Interface Editor could draw with its buttons inaccessible under the right window edge if an interface or component had a very long description. Starting with 6.6.1, a horizontal scroll bar appears in these cases.
SB‑16898, SB‑17031 The Extension Point operator, introduced in release 6.6.0, was not initially compatible with the Trace Debugger. This was corrected, and you can now step through tuple traces for applications that include both Extension Points and Module References.
SB‑16766, SB‑16767 In previous releases, if you renamed a table schema, locally defined tables that used that table schema failed to be updated. Similarly, if you renamed a named schema used by a table schema, locally defined table schemas were not updated. These issues were fixed.
Fixed in 6.6.0
Number Resolution
Release 6.6.0 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.5 series through release 6.5.5. See Limitations Resolved in 6.5.x for details.
SB‑16777 In previous releases, StreamBase erroneously provided schema, schema field descriptions, and schema names at runtime. These properties are only maintained during application development and have no meaning during application runtime.
SB‑16706 The performance of paste operations in an EventFlow application when the clipboard contains many items was dramatically improved.
SB‑16004 In previous releases, typechecking in StreamBase Studio sometimes failed to ignore references to file resources in the file system outside of the Studio workspace. This applied both to EventFlow module files and resource files (such as CSV input files) on the module search path. As of release 6.6.0, Studio strictly requires referenced files to be in the Studio workspace.
SB‑11376 Previously, when intermediate stream dequeuing was enabled, it was also possible to enqueue into intermediate input streams. This was corrected so that non-public inner module streams remain private, even with ISD enabled.

Fixed in 6.5.13
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.13 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-19560 A race condition in memory Query Table pooling was found and fixed. This issue could only be triggered when updating a memory Query Table from two or more different parallel regions simultaneously.
SB-18905 A memory leak in list handling in the C++ and .NET versions of the StreamBaseClient API was fixed.
Fixed in 6.5.12
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.12 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-18961 Under certain circumstances, the TBF Input adapter in multicast mode was dropping field values and emitting NullValueException errors. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-18901

In a rare configuration where the output port of one Query write operator was shared by two arcs, one leading to a second Query write operator updating the same Query Table, "old" table rows emitted to the third operator (such as the Map operator shown here) could contain incorrect values. The data in the Query Table itself was not corrupted. The condition was not triggered when the first Query operator was followed by any single operator, such as a Split connected to the second Query and third operators. The cause of the problem was identified and corrected.

SB-18859

The JDBC external adapter was incurring a NullPointerException in response to an attempt to insert a null value into a table. This was fixed.

In previous releases, the adapter would shut down in response to SQL exceptions, such as a primary key violation. The adapter was updated to log SQL exceptions and continue processing.

Fixed in 6.5.11
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-18716 A version issue with the MarketFactory API JAR file included with StreamBase was corrected.
SB-18658 The Currenex and EBS output adapters were reporting a null pointer exception when tuples were sent before the adapter's FIX connection was established. Now tuples sent to these output adapters before the connection is established are dropped and reported on the console.
SB-18476 The performance of Query Tables with aggregate expressions was increased.
SB-18305 StreamBase bundle files created with the -c option were correctly generating a precompiled archive file, and the .sbar file was included in the bundle. However, when running such a bundle, StreamBase Server would sometimes not use the .sbar file, resulting in slower startup times than expected. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.5.10
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.10 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-18338 StreamBase authentication did not validate usernames as expected when an application used one of the StreamBase to StreamBase adapters. This was corrected.
SB-18203 In the FIX adapter using the QuickFIX/J FIX engine, sending a double field as a NaN caused a checksum failure on the counterparty. This was corrected such that StreamBase doubles that evaluate to NaN now result in the corresponding FIX field being null in the outgoing FIX message.
SB-18036 Typechecking of server configuration files was failing to detect a <page-pool param="max-client-pages"> value that exceeded the system's MAX_INT setting. This was corrected.
SB-17903 As of release 6.5.10, if a FIX input adapter and FIX output adapter are linked, the Log Level setting of the output adapter is also used by the input adapter.
SB-17792 When launching an application remotely, Studio reported a failure to launch if a custom operator requested a resource that was not present in the same directory as the top level module. This was an incorrect error, and was resolved.
SB-17778 When a Studio project's properties specified the automatic building of precompiled archive files, and the project had a project reference to another project, typechecking of applications sometimes failed. This was fixed.
SB-17662 A rare deadlock situation involving parallel access to memory-based Query Tables was fixed.
SB-17310 Custom values for the type field in error ports now propagate correctly instead of reverting to default values.
SB-17103 The FIX input adapter now fails typechecking if a message type appears more than once in the map.
SB-16117 The FIX adapter did not have the same reconnect after logoff behavior when using the CameronFIX FIX engine as when using the QuickFIX/J engine. This was corrected.
SB-14359 The visual debugger in Studio could sometimes miss its initial breakpoint. The cause was identified and corrected.
Fixed in 6.5.9
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.9 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-17649 In previous releases on Linux, the stop subcommand of the /etc/initi.d/streambase script failed to stop a running instance of StreamBase Server. This was corrected.
SB-17550 Some StreamBase adapters, including the FIX adapter and adapters that inherit from it, allow you to set a logging level independently of the hosting StreamBase Server's logging level. In previous releases, this feature worked for the Logback logging mechanism that is used by Studio and used when sbd is run interactively.

SB-17427 A rounding error was affecting the feed simulator when using a CSV data file as input and the Timestamp from column feature, with the result that timestamps with millisecond components were batched into one second groups. This was corrected.
SB-17425 Calling Schema.getName() in the typecheck() method for a Java operator or adapter once again returns any schema name set in the properties for that operator or adapter. This capability was present in early 6.5.x releases, was inadvertently removed, and is restored in release 6.5.9.
SB-17417 The Studio typecheck cache was not correctly flushed when an imported table schema was modified with a new field. This was corrected.
SB-17392 The installer for 64-bit Windows now creates the placeholder registry key sbd64.n.m for the authentication keys that can be configured for the 64-bit version of StreamBase Server, as described on StreamBase Registry Keys on Windows.
SB-17345 In the Queues view in both StreamBase Manager and sbmonitor, values for the Current Size, Latency, and Proctime columns now reset to zero if there is no activity on the queue in the previous one second.
SB-16827 The Edit Table Schema dialog was failing to draw scrollbars for very large schemas, which prevented the Add, Edit, and Remove buttons from showing. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.5.8
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.8 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.

Release 6.5.7 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.14. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-17141 The MarketFactory Trading Input adapter was updated to correct an inadvertent swap of two fields internally.
SB-17124 When using the Alpha Trading Systems EMAPI Order Entry adapter, the Passive Only field was inadvertently set to null for update messages. This was corrected.
SB-17108 A hang in Disk Query Tables was found to be caused by not properly closing the cursor when the limit was reached. This was fixed.
SB-17017 In previous releases, using the Copy Schema From dialog sometimes failed when attempting to copy a schema from a Query Table defined with a table schema. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-17066 StreamBase client applications written with the C++ Client Library could enter a loop that consumed 100% of CPU resources, if the client application called dequeue() with a 0 timeout, and no tuples were enqueued to any stream that client subscribed to. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-16938 In previous releases, when using synchronized feed simulations, the overall feed simulation would halt when the first synchronized stream completed. This was corrected, and now all feed simulations in a synchronized set run to completion.
SB-16922 The substr() function in the StreamBase expression language was updated to correct errors in Unicode string handling when StreamBase Server is set to use the UTF-8 character set. The strresizetrun(), systemenv(), and systemproperty() functions were updated to correct their use of byte lengths for Unicode strings, as documented.
Fixed in 6.5.6
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.6 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.13. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-17028 Exceptions thrown from Java operator init() methods were incorrectly dropped when the Java operator was configured to have an Error Stream. This was corrected.
SB-16977 When file looping was enabled, sbfeedsim was found to ignore the specified timestamp field on the second and subsequent iterations through a CSV file. This was fixed.
SB-16973 A race condition that could cause the loss or duplication of tuples with external dequeue clients was fixed.
SB-16968 The StreamBase IBM WebSphere MQ Adapter was not emitting an Event Port tuple when it was unable to process a message. This was fixed.
SB-16954 When the external Reuters Messaging adapter was installed, its sample was missing from the Load StreamBase Sample dialog. The sample is now included in the External Adapters category.
SB-16921 StreamBase Server now ensures that it properly shuts down in the event of a catchable signal (SIGINT, SIGHUP). This ensures that Query Table locks are released.
SB-16887 In previous releases, the Filter operator showed errors when StreamBase Studio was run on Windows with a non-English locale. The same condition affected the conversion of applications from EventFlow to StreamSQL. These issues were corrected.
SB-16800 The StreamBase Alpha Trading Systems EMAPI Order Entry Adapter had some problems with rounding and scaling. These were fixed.
SB-16799 Sometimes the CSV File Reader adapter, when operating in tail mode, could encounter a partially flushed record at the end of the file, resulting in corruption of the resulting tuple or tuples. The adapter now processes only complete records — that is, records ending in one or more CR and/or LF characters.
SB-16626 In StreamBase Studio, Query operators displayed false typecheck errors when multiple table schemas that did not use named schemas were imported from one file. This was fixed.
SB-16362 StreamBase Studio sometimes generated spurious typecheck errors for references to a field of type long in the expression editor. This was fixed.
SB-13871 The Reuters SFC Adapter on Linux had an incompatibility issue with the SFC libraries provided by Reuters. This was resolved.
Fixed in 6.5.5
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.5 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-16881 Studio could throw a NullPointerException error when typechecking an EventFlow module that included a Materialized Window, if the module imported a schema. This was corrected.
SB-16820 The compilation size was reduced for applications that perform a replacement of subtuple fields in an Aggregate operator.
SB-16778 An error was preventing the debugging of applications that included a Materialized Window data construct. The problem was identified and corrected.
SB-16743 The tuple.getField() method in the Java Client API was updated to provide better performance for nested tuple values.
SB-16709 In releases 6.5.0 through 6.5.4, in the Windows Event Viewer, events related to a background StreamBase Server instance were not correctly labeled. Starting with 6.5.5, such events are shown with a Source field populated with "StreamBase.n.m".
SB-16706 The performance of paste operations in an EventFlow application when the clipboard contains many items was dramatically improved.
SB-16413 A more robust fix was implemented for issues where the Java system property streambase.queue-flush-interval is set to 0.
Fixed in 6.5.4
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.4 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-16440 The expression language's min() and max() functions were updated to handle null values consistently.
SB-16424 In previous releases, precompiled archive files (.sbar files) generated on Windows with the sbargen command would sometimes fail to run when moved to a Linux host. This problem was identified and corrected.
SB-16413 In previous releases, setting the Java system property streambase.queue-flush-interval to 0 to minimize latency in client connections could result in dropped tuples. This was corrected.
SB-16397 In custom code using the StreamBase Client API, when performing a field lookup that involves two schema objects, a DEBUG message was emitted at runtime warning that "Tuple.resolveField had to compare schemas slowly." This was fixed.
SB-16377 The Windows installer was installing registry keys that are no longer used by StreamBase, including LogFile, LogLevel, LogToLogFile, CrashDump, CrashQuiet, and CrashPause. The installer was updated to stop installing those registry keys.
SB-16358 In previous releases, when an application module was saved and another editor contained an application referencing the saved module file, StreamBase Studio would not re-typecheck the module reference, and thus would not reflect schema changes on the module reference's output ports. This was corrected. A side effect of this fix is that you may see application editors that dirty themselves more often after a module they reference is saved. This is normal and is designed to ensure every application is up-to-date.
SB-16221 Typecheck efficiency was improved throughout StreamBase Studio for cases such as adding an arc, inserting operators onto existing arcs, and when using the Quick Connect feature.
SB-16181 In StreamBase 6.3 and 6.4, a running StreamBase Server was seen in operating system process listings as sbd-java[.exe]. This feature was inadvertently disabled in 6.5.0, but is now restored in 6.5.4.
SB-16143 In 6.5.x releases before 6.5.4, the Trace Debugger failed to display the values for the first row in the table. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.5.3
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.3 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-16182 When using the automatic table replication feature, the container designated as LEADER would send the NON-LEADER two messages (a delete, then an insert) to designate a table update, potentially leading to lost data in a failover event. This was corrected to send update messages as a single, atomic update event.
SB-16162 In previous releases, moving the downstream end of an arc exiting from a collapsed group on the EventFlow canvas could cause Java errors. Starting with release 6.5.3, you can no longer move such an arc while the group is collapsed; uncollapse the group first.
SB-16170 An error converting the Query operator from 6.4 format to 6.5 format was corrected.
SB-16150 Previous 6.5.x releases could generate a Java error when using a named schema as a declared schema for an output stream. This was fixed.
SB-16174 The CSV File Writer adapter would sometimes throw a FlushTask error when resumed from suspended state. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-16093 Studio could inadvertently double the parallel parameter in the EventFlow XML in cases where two Query operators were both marked to run in separate threads. This was fixed.
SB-16071 The previous version of the InsertInput Adapter and InsertOutput Adapter dialogs were inserting a different adapter than the one selected. This was corrected by providing new dialogs to perform these functions, as described in EventFlow Editor Keyboard Shortcuts.
SB-16065 In previous 6.5.x releases, the clientapi.jar file (the file that implements the StreamBase Client API build path library) inadvertently excluded the SLF4J classes. This caused compilation errors for custom Java code that accessed classes such as Logger. This issue was resolved.
SB-16045 In previous releases, the feed simulator, when used with a CSV input file, could incorrectly collapse adjacent columns when the delimiter was tab or space. This was corrected.
SB-15452 The Threads view in the sbmonitor application occasionally showed inaccurate CPU time statistics because operator or adapter Runnables that used the RegisterRunnable interface were registered with the same name. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.5.2
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.2 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.8. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-15962 Under certain circumstances in recent releases, StreamBase Studio could fail to load custom or third-party Java code in JAR files called by custom Java operators or adapters, even when the JAR file was installed in the Studio project folder. The cause was identified and corrected in releases 6.4.9 and 6.5.2.
SB-15933 Support for the Appia FIX engine in the StreamBase FIX adapter was adjusted to provide more flexibility in the BeginString message.
Fixed in 6.5.1
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.1 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.8. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-15898 The CSV File Reader adapter now reports a failure to open its specified CSV file on its event port, if enabled.
SB-15804 The group-by feature of the Query operator for read operations (specified in the Group Options tab in the operator's Properties view) was inadvertently disabled in release 6.5.0. This was corrected.
SB-15108 In release 6.5.0, the Trace Debugger was not correctly tracing tuples into the modules of a multiple module application. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.5.0
Number Resolution
Release 6.5.0 incorporated all fixes resolved in the release 6.4 series through release 6.4.6. See Limitations Resolved in 6.4.x for details.
SB-15498 In previous releases, if any module parameters were specified for the main application module, and that module was compiled into a precompiled archive (.sbar) file, then StreamBase Server would fail to run that .sbar file. Now, the server verifies that any parameters set with the module-parameters element in the server configuration file at compile time are the same as at .sbar load time. If so, the .sbar is loaded and run; if not, the server issues an error.
SB-15376, SB-15377 In previous Studio releases, when editing an expression in a Properties view cell using content assistance, when you clicked outside the content assistance pop-up, the pop-up would close, but the cell's editing mode would remain active. Under similar circumstances, Studio could attempt to revalidate the expression before the cell editing was complete. These issues were corrected.
SB-15307 The Javadoc for com.streambase.sb.Operator was updated to explain what happens if exceptions occur during calls to resume(), resumed(), suspend(), and suspended().
SB-14758 The format string qualifier %z for the strftime() function was corrected to adhere to the documented standard.
SB-14761 The sbargen command was ignoring certain settings in the java-vm section of the specified server configuration file, whereas StreamBase Server using the same configuration file would locate and use those settings as expected. The sbargen command was updated to read the server configuration file the same way as the server.

Release 6.4.14 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.12. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-17066 StreamBase client applications written with the C++ Client Library could enter a loop that consumed 100% of CPU resources, if the client application called dequeue() with a 0 timeout, and no tuples were enqueued to any stream that client subscribed to. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-16800 The StreamBase Alpha Trading Systems EMAPI Order Entry adapter had some problems with rounding and scaling. These were fixed.
Fixed in 6.4.13
Number Resolution
Release 6.4.13 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.11. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-16977 When file looping was enabled, sbfeedsim was found to ignore the specified timestamp field on the second and subsequent iterations through a CSV file. This was fixed.
SB-16938 In previous releases, when using synchronized feed simulations, the overall synchronized feed simulation would halt when the first synchronized stream completed. This was corrected, and now all feed simulations in synchronized set run to completion.
SB-16397 In custom code using the StreamBase Client API, when performing a field lookup that involves two schema objects, a DEBUG message was emitted at runtime warning that "Tuple.resolveField had to compare schemas slowly." This was fixed.
SB-14968 Operator-parameter values used as part of the definition of a different operator-parameter were incorrectly interpreted as environment variables. Expressions of this type were correctly interpreted in release 6.3, but were failing in 6.4. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.4.12
Number Resolution
Release 6.4.12 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-16454 In recent releases, if you specified custom icons for your custom operators and adapters, using a file name for the icon file that included a period, the icon failed to appear in the Palette view or on the canvas. This was corrected and custom icons now appear as expected.
SB-16377 The Windows installer was installing registry keys that are no longer used by StreamBase, including LogFile, LogLevel, LogToLogFile, CrashDump, CrashQuiet, and CrashPause. The installer was updated to stop installing those registry keys.
Fixed in 6.4.11
Number Resolution
Release 6.4.11 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-16261 In previous releases, if a CSV File Writer adapter was marked to not start with the application and not open the file during initialization, and the adapter was never started before the application was shut down, a spurious warning would be displayed during shutdown. If an error port was configured for the adapter, an error would be reported when attempting to shut down the application. This was fixed.
SB-15525 In previous releases, if the server configuration file contained a JDBC connect string that included two hyphens, they were interpreted as the beginning of a comment. This could cause the failure to expand module parameters in the string after the hyphens. This was corrected.

Number Resolution
Release 6.4.10 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.10. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-16105 The Wombat MAMA Input adapter was experiencing JVM crashes for unsubscribes during times of high message rates. The causes were identified and corrected.
SB-15452 The Threads view in the sbmonitor application showed inaccurate CPU time statistics because operator or adapter Runnables that used the RegisterRunnable interface were not correctly registered with the stats infrastructure. This was corrected.

Release 6.4.8 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.9. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-15855 The StreamBase Python Client library now catches all exceptions generated in C++ that derive from either std::exception or sb::StreamBaseException and properly converts them into Python exceptions.
SB-15777 In previous releases, in the Input sub-tab of the Streams tab in the Properties view, when you selected Copy Stream Qualified Field Name from the context menu for a sub-field of a tuple defined with a named schema, the result in the clipboard was incorrect for that case. This was fixed.
SB-15702 In previous releases, container connections from an application on one server to an inner module on another server were not handled correctly when specified in the server configuration file. The same case worked as expected when specified with sbadmin. The configuration file case was corrected.
SB-15354 Documentation for the expression language's length() function was updated to include the effect of null arguments.
Fixed in 6.4.7

Release 6.4.7 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.9. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-15727 As of 6.4.7, when importing schemas and constants from another module, if that module does not contain any importable resources, the Selected Named Schemas and Constants controls are dimmed and unselectable.
SB-15695 The Data File Options dialog (part of the Feed Simulation Editor) was reporting the wrong column for problem data in error messages. This was corrected.
SB-15685 The Edit Dimension dialog (part of the Aggregate Operator's Properties view) is now resizable.

Release 6.4.5 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.8. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-15280 On Windows, uninstalling the 64-bit overlay kit while leaving the 32-bit base kit in place inadvertently removed the path-setting batch file used by the StreamBase Command Prompt. This was fixed.
SB-15251, SB-15180, SB-15177 The Comstock adapter was updated to correct a race condition, to stop emitting spurious No subscription with key warnings after a restored connection, and to stop emitting Unsubscribe failed messages for unauthorized exchanges when unsubscribing from a symbol on all exchanges.
SB-15122 The New Operator Wizard no longer generates enablement stub code for each specified property, in cases where the Methods to control enablement of UI widgets check box is cleared.
SB-15092 In previous releases on Linux, StreamBase Studio showed errors in the error log from the Inforeach TMS adapter. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-15083 In previous 6.4.x releases, running sbprofile -s resulted in a NullPointerException error message. This was corrected.
SB-15050 When using the Java Client library to develop a custom adapter, if you specified a property with type Map<String,String>, any periods in the key for such a property were inadvertently stripped out. This was fixed.
SB-14943 The Wombat MAMA Input adapter was updated to correct a problem seen in the following scenario: when resubscribing after unsubscribing, data for infrequently traded symbols was not updated.
SB-14674 In previous 6.4.x releases, dynamic variables were not being recognized when used in aggregate expressions. This was corrected.

Release 6.4.4 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.7. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-15058 As of release 6.4.4, the "application running" banner is again shown across the top of a running application in the SB Test/Debug perspective.
SB-15056 When specifying an explicit result set schema in the JDBC Query operator, a standard schema editor control appears. As of release 6.4.4, you can invoke named schemas by name in this control.
SB-14996 Leading and trailing whitespace is now automatically trimmed around network settings in the properties for the TIBCO Rendezvous adapters. Inadvertent spaces were causing argument conflict errors.
SB-14922 In previous releases, the Binary File Reader adapter could show a warning on the console in cases where the Binary File Writer adapter truncated an existing output file (when set to do so), but no records were yet written. The Binary File Writer was updated to correct for these conditions.
SB-14904 The Concurrency tab in the Properties view for most operators and adapters now generates a typecheck error if the expression in the Key expression field does not evaluate to an int.
SB-14894 The JMS adapters, both embedded and external, were updated to connect to queues as well as topics on the IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1 implementation of a JMS server.
SB-14871 A difference in sorting of nulls between memory and disk Query Tables was found and fixed.
SB-14843 The sbbundle -r command could fail when replacing the configuration file into a bundle file larger than one megabyte. This was corrected.
SB-14819 Named schemas were not visible to Java operators marked to run with concurrency options. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.4.3
Number Resolution
Release 6.4.3 incorporates all fixes resolved in the release 6.3 series through release 6.3.7. See Limitations Resolved in 6.3.x for details.
SB-14726 When running an application in Studio, Studio normally ignores settings in the jar and library elements of a project's server configuration file, because Studio locates Java resources with Eclipse property settings. As of 6.4.3, Studio now also ignores settings in the dir element of the .sbconf file.
SB-14709 The row limit setting for a read query is now honored when followed by a delete query on the same Query Table.
SB-14699 The JMS external adapter could exit with an illegal argument exception when dequeuing with certain schemas. This was corrected.
SB-14657 In Studio, in an operator's Properties view, when editing an expression in one cell, the expression could sometimes be incorrectly applied to an adjacent cell. In addition, when selecting one expression cell, then a diagonally adjacent cell, the first cell's expression could be inadvertently copied to the second cell. These problems were corrected.
SB-14272 When using the StreamBase Manager utility, an error could result when reconnecting to a StreamBase Server instance that had been stopped and restarted. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.4.2
Number Resolution
SB-14680 The Hotspot FX adapter was updated to enqueue tuples asynchronously to avoid a potential deadlock circumstance.
SB-14495 In previous releases, a large number of clients rapidly connecting to and disconnecting from the server could cause memory issues. This was corrected.
SB-14489 Dynamic variables were updated from operator-scoped to module-scoped in release 6.4.0. As of release 6.4.2, module-scoped dynamic variables also work when used with aggregate functions.
SB-14437 In previous releases, calling a custom adapter from a child module could result in a null pointer exception. This was fixed.
SB-14322 In previous releases of Studio on Linux, the F9 key could sometimes fail to stop a running application, instead leaving a message in the Error Log view. This was corrected, and as a consequence of the fix, the F9 key now appears in the Key Assist list (Ctrl+Shift+L), and you can now reassign the Stop StreamBase Application action to a different key in Studio preferences.
SB-14133 On Linux distributions that provide GCC 4.3 as the system default compiler (which is not supported by StreamBase), the sbconfig --cxx command did not honor the CXX environment variable. This was corrected so that sbconfig --cxx now returns the value of CXX, if set.
Fixed in 6.4.1
Number Resolution
SB-14401 In the StreamBase Client library, the com.streambase.sb.Tuple class now fully implements the standard java.io.Serializable interface.

Note

Do not assume that the serialized form of any StreamBase class remains constant between StreamBase releases. An instance of a StreamBase class serialized in one release might not be deserializable in another release.

SB-14363 In the StreamBase Client library, there were cases where a correctly-used Operator.getResourceFile() method would fail typechecking, in places where Operator.getResourceContents() would succeed. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-14148, SB-14210 In previous releases, editing operations such as cut, copy, paste, select-all, and delete were not universally available in all controls in the Properties view. This was corrected.
SB-14127 Constants defined in the Definitions tab were not being displayed in the Outline view for StreamSQL applications. This was corrected.
SB-13929 In previous Studio releases, with EventFlow layout information set to be stored in separate .sblayout files, using RefactorRename caused the separate layout file to be out of sync. This was corrected.
SB-13428 In previous releases, disk-based Query Tables did not report old values when reporting the results of an update operation. This was corrected so that disk-based Query Tables now report old values the same way as memory-based Query Tables.
Fixed in 6.4.0
Number Resolution
SB-13570 In previous releases, using auto-completion in a dynamic variable's updating expression field could result in a null pointer exception. The cause was found and corrected.
SB-13472 The StreamBase to StreamBase Input and Output adapters were not reporting parameter errors until runtime. This was corrected to report such errors at typecheck time.
SB-13312 In previous Studio releases, when you used the keyboard shortcut XX to quickly connect the last two components added to the canvas, you could not undo that action. This was corrected and undo now works after the XX shortcut.
SB-13186 In previous releases, in the New Java Function wizard, the drop-down list of data types for return value and arguments did not list all available data types. This was corrected.
SB-11765 Previous releases failed to issue a typecheck error for an aggregate operator when two or more dimensions had the same name. This was corrected.
SB-4967 The content assistance feature added in release 6.3 sometimes displayed several entries for the same function, when that function's arguments were overloaded by type. These cases were collapsed into a single entry for each function.

SB-15660 A problem was identified when using a Metronome operator with a Query Table downstream that could result in a NullPointerException error. This was corrected.
SB-15230, SB-14140 Query operators were ignoring the Row Limit setting when the operator returned aggregate results, and when group options were set. These problems were corrected.
SB-15211 In previous releases, the JMS adapter could silently drop tuples if a message converter's schema did not exactly match the adapter's schema. A console message and error tuple were added to report this condition.
SB-14772 The FIX adapter was updated to incorporate a change in the way the CameronFIX FIX engine located its data dictionary file.
SB-12071 Two methods in the .NET Client library were producing incorrect results for Field objects whose type is DataType.TUPLE: Schema::Field::GetHashCode() and Schema::Field::Equals(). The .NET API was corrected.

SB-14996 Leading and trailing whitespace is now automatically trimmed around network settings in the properties for the TIBCO Rendezvous adapters. Inadvertent spaces were causing "argument conflict" errors.
SB-14922 In previous releases, the Binary File Reader adapter could show a warning on the console in cases where the Binary File Writer adapter truncated an existing output file (when set to do so), but no records were yet written. The Binary File Writer was updated to correct for these conditions.
SB-14871 A difference in sorting of nulls between memory and disk Query Tables was found and fixed.
SB-14851 The Deutsche Bank AutobahnFX Trading System adapter was updated such that, when building spot, forward, and swap ladders, it filters out quotes that return isValid=false.
SB-14824 StreamBase Studio was updated to flag the current canvas as changed (and thus needing to be saved) for text-only changes in the Description field for components, including Notes. Studio does not run a typechecking pass when it detects changes only in Description fields.
SB-14699 The JMS external adapter could exit with an illegal argument exception when dequeuing with certain schemas. This was corrected.
SB-14583 When the FIX adapter is disconnected from a counterparty, a tuple is generated by the FIX Input adapter on the Admin message output port with the __ExtraInfo field's value set to "Disconnect". As of 6.3.8, this tuple now also has the SenderCompID and TargetCompID fields correctly set to help identify the session that has just disconnected.

SB-14791 The Deutsche Bank Autobahn Trading System adapter would sometimes leave an orphaned process running after disconnection. This was corrected.
SB-14780 When using the Query operator with a Materialized Window data construct, the Query Settings tab could show settings for an ordered index as if it were unordered. This was fixed.
SB-14723 In previous releases, the Deutsche Bank Autobahn Trading System adapter would correctly reconnect to the Autobahn service after disconnection, but would incorrectly ignore forwards after reconnection. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-14613 The StreamBase Manager utility was updated with the ability to stop and start adapters hosted in submodules.
SB-14401 Studio could appear to hang in cases where you tried to stop a running application with a running feed simulation, but the application was blocked waiting for the feed simulation to disconnect from the server. Prior to this release, you could unblock Studio by force-stopping the sbd and sbd-java processes. As of 6.3.7, changes were implemented to allow Studio to not block if feed simulations are having trouble disconnecting from the server.
Fixed in 6.3.6

SB-14430 When using the CameronFIX engine with the FIX adapter, log files now include the full outgoing FIX message.
SB-14421 In previous releases of the Client library, using Tuple.setField() on fields of type Tuple with values of type String could cause a null pointer exception. This was fixed.
SB-14401 In the StreamBase Client library, the com.streambase.sb.Tuple class now fully implements the standard java.io.Serializable interface.

Note

Do not assume that the serialized form of any StreamBase class remains constant between StreamBase releases. An instance of a StreamBase class serialized in one release might not be deserializable in another release.

SB-14092 In the StreamBase Client API, the method Schema.Field.checkType(DataType) was deprecated in favor of Schema.Field.checkType(CompleteDataType), which correctly handles hierarchical types like list and tuple.

SB-14353 The SQL statement edit control in a Query operator associated with a JDBC Table data construct did not honor cut, copy, paste, and select-all commands and shortcuts. This was fixed.
SB-14306 In releases 6.3.0 through 6.3.4, the expression language's format() function returned an IllegalArgumentException for some test cases that worked as expected under release 6.2. The cause was found and corrected.
SB-14241 If the Limit number of output rows option is not enabled for the Query operator, the hover summary text for that operator no longer includes text describing line limits.
SB-14189 In previous releases, the sbbundle command would inadvertently include a JAR file twice in the bundle if it was listed both in the jar element of the server configuration file and was also present in a directory specified in the dir element. This was corrected.
SB-13944 When using separate layout files for your EventFlow modules, and when using a third-party version control plug-in with StreamBase Studio, the layout files by themselves were sometimes ignored when Studio generated lists of changed files ready to be checked in. This was corrected.

If you encounter this situation, open the EventFlow .sbapp file associated with the .sblayout file you want to check in. Make a simple change and save the EventFlow file. This clears the incorrect bit on the associated layout file and it is now flagged as ready to check in.

SB-13643 In previous releases, when using the Query operator with a JDBC data source connected to an Oracle database, a SQL statement encapsulated in the PL/SQL begin and end statements would return an error if the statement spanned more than one line. This was corrected, and multiline PL/SQL statements that include begin and end are now processed correctly.
SB-13602 In previous releases, when using the FIX adapter, customer-initiated resend requests resulted in the rejection of the resent messages as out of sequence. This condition was corrected.
SB-13428 In previous releases, disk-based Query Tables did not report old values when reporting the results of an update operation. This was corrected so that disk-based Query Tables now report old values the same way as memory-based Query Tables.
SB-13291 In previous releases, in the Feed Simulation Editor, when using the Data File generation method, selecting the First row as header option resulted in slower CSV file parsing as column names were matched with field names. This was corrected so that, when using a data file with a one-to-one column-to-field mapping, the CSV file is read just as fast with the First row as header option selected as without.
Fixed in 6.3.4
Number Resolution
SB-14051 In previous releases, the Schema.Field.checkType() method in the Client library always returned an exception indicating that the test failed. This method was fixed to return the exception only when the method's test actually does fail.
SB-13962 In releases 6.3.0 through 6.3.3, the samples custom-simple-function and custom-aggregate-function ran as expected at the command prompt, but failed to run when loaded in Studio. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-13760 The sbc command, when dequeuing a tuple that contained a list with zero elements, would show an error Cannot infer the element type of a zero-length list. This was fixed.
SB-13637 Windows only. The presence of a file named Program at the root of C:\ prevented StreamBase Serverfrom starting. This was corrected.
SB-13570 In previous 6.3.x releases, using auto-completion in a dynamic variable's updating expression field could result in a null pointer exception. The cause was found and corrected.
SB-13315 In previous releases, the sbargen command did not use the same algorithm to locate the StreamBase installation directory as the sbd command. This was fixed.
SB-12570 In previous releases, StreamBase Server could be seen to leak memory if many client connections were made in a short period of time. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.3.2
Number Resolution
SB-13619 For some supported databases where the JDBC connection was configured to retry when a disconnect occurred, and the SQL statement in the Query operator had field parameter substitutions, the reconnect attempt would fail. This was fixed.
SB-13617 When running StreamBase Server as a service on Windows, the Server could receive a shutdown signal when the service-owning user logged out of Windows. This was corrected.
SB-13614

When using the Reuters RMDS Subscribing adapter and the data from Reuters contains partial updates to string fields (which is a rarely encountered mechanism), update tuples were incorrectly handled and could be lost. There were two cases: when using the adapter's Send Thin Tuples property, partial string updates resulted in lost tuples. When using standard tuples and the Send Unchanged Fields as Null check box is selected, string fields in tuples were null. These conditions were corrected.

SB-13567 In the StreamBase C++ API, using TupleList's operator[] with out-of-range data could result in a segfault, instead of the documented behavior, an assert. This was corrected.
SB-13536 Studio release 6.2 added Export view as PNG to the context menu of the EventFlow Editor. However, the image files actually created by this feature were in GIF format, despite their .png extension. This was corrected, and the feature now creates PNG files.
SB-13501 Despite the removal of string lengths in release 6.3.0, typechecking in the Query operator, when connected to a JDBC data source, was still testing for string length maximums in query responses returned from connected databases such as Oracle 10. This was corrected.
SB-13472 The StreamBase to StreamBase Input and Output adapters were not reporting parameter errors until runtime. This was corrected to report such errors at typecheck time.
SB-13448 When using the Query operator to update a row in a Query Table, the presence of the expression if isnull() would inadvertently suppress the output of the old.fieldname fields. This was fixed.
SB-12604 In previous releases, when using groups in the EventFlow Editor, it could be difficult to select exactly one arc inside a group. This was corrected.
SB-11576 In previous Studio releases, if you opened a project, opened an application in the project, deleted the project, and then selected the application in the EventFlow Editor, StreamBase Studio generated duplicate File Deleted dialog boxes. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.3.1
Number Resolution
SB-13373 A 64-bit byte-swapping issue was corrected that affected communication between a Windows client and StreamBase Server on Solaris.
SB-13355 In previous Studio releases, if you opened two copies of the same EventFlow application in different projects, Studio could become confused when you closed one of the copies, and thereafter fail to show editable values in the Properties view. This was fixed.
SB-13287 In previous Studio releases, in the Properties view for a Query Table, if you specified a secondary index of type Unordered (hash), that selection was honored and saved correctly. However, the next time you entered the Properties view for the same Query Table, and opened the Edit Secondary Index dialog, the secondary index type reverted to Ordered (btree). This situation was corrected.
SB-13268 In previous Studio releases, when you used Extract as Module to create a new module from components that referenced a named schema, the named schema was not copied to the new module. This was fixed.
SB-13207 In previous Studio releases, when set to use a separate layout file for an EventFlow application, if you moved a component group as a whole, the components inside that group did not preserve their layout information when the group was next opened. This was fixed.
SB-13187 In release 6.3.0, in the C++ Client API, the CompleteDataType's operator== method was performing incomplete comparisons for lists and tuples. As of 6.3.1, CompleteDataType's operator== compares all members of lists and tuples, such that two CompleteDataTypes of type DataType::LIST are only considered equal if both have the same element CompleteDataType, and two CompleteDataTypes of type DataType::TUPLE are only considered equal if both have the same schema.
SB-13101 In previous releases, the SMTP Reader adapter required SMTP commands to be sent with uppercase letters (HELO, RCPT, and so on). This was corrected to accept lowercase and mixed case commands.
SB-12774 In previous releases, a Java bug could trigger a race condition between two instances of StreamBase Server, or between the server and certain external adapters. This release includes a workaround for the Java bug.
SB-12681 In previous releases, when using Query operators with Query Tables, an input string value longer than a string returned from a table would appear as the returned value overwriting the input value. This only occurred when input values other than the primary key were passed into the result tuple, and did not affect the actual value returned from the table. This condition was corrected.
SB-12372 In release 6.2.x, bundled JAR files were not automatically deleted after exiting from running a bundle file on Windows. This was fixed.
SB-11103 In previous releases, an EventFlow application file was marked as needing to be saved as soon as it was opened. This was corrected so that EventFlows are so marked only when the user has made interactive changes.

SB-13139 Previous StreamBase releases failed to call C++ custom aggregate functions when one of the arguments was null. This limitation was resolved.
SB-12954 In previous releases, if Studio was launching an application on a port that was currently in use by a running sbd that was launched outside of Studio, Studio would incorrectly try to use that server, and cause it to shut down when Studio was stopping the launched application. This was corrected, and Studio now avoids using a port already in use by a running StreamBase Server started outside Studio.
SB-12942 Global editing actions such as copy, cut, paste, select-all, undo, and redo, and the standard keyboard shortcuts for those actions, would affect the Editor subtab of the EventFlow Editor, even if initiated in another subtab. That is, if you copied and pasted an operator in the Editor subtab, then switched to the Parameter subtab and performed editing tasks that included pasting, the Parameter subtab paste operation also inadvertently reapplied the last paste of the Editor subtab. This was corrected.
SB-12779 On Windows, with multiple instances of StreamBase Server running as a service on the same machine, event log messages from each server instance were hard to distinguish. This was fixed by adding your assigned service name to the Source field of each event log entry that comes from the server startup code. Remember that most messages from a running Server now come from the log4j logging system. You can configure those messages with the log4j configuration file, as described in Server Background Mode and Logging.
SB-12400 In previous releases, when using Studio's Visual Debugger, the Pattern operator was failing to turn blue to show it was reached when stepping through an application. This was corrected.
SB-11341 In previous releases, the method used to start and shut down StreamBase Server prevented use of the Java method Runtime.getRuntime().addShutdownHook() in customer client code. As of release 6.3.0, this limitation is lifted and addShutdownHook() can now be used in client code.
SB-11087 In releases 6.0 through 6.2, when you clicked a Show in Help link in the Properties view's Functions pane, the Studio Help window opened to the top of the Expression Language page. As of 6.3.0, clicking Show in Help now correctly opens directly to the same function in the Help window that is currently selected in the Functions pane. This restores the Show in Help functionality of releases 3.x and 5.x.

SB-13536 Studio release 6.2.0 added Export view as PNG to the context menu of the EventFlow Editor. However, the image files actually created by this feature were in GIF format, despite their .png extension. This was corrected, and the feature now creates PNG files.
SB-13307 In previous releases of the C++ and .NET client libraries, if you specified a dequeue timeout less than the heartbeat interval (10 seconds by default), a heartbeat timeout exception could occur. The cause was identified and corrected.
SB-12604 In previous releases, when using groups in the EventFlow Editor, it could be difficult to select one arc inside a group, and only that arc. This was corrected.
SB-11576 In previous Studio releases, if you opened a project, opened an application in the project, deleted the project, and then clicked the application in the EventFlow Editor, StreamBase Studio generated duplicate File Deleted dialog boxes. This was corrected.

SB-13373 A 64-bit byte-swapping issue was corrected that affected communication between a Windows client and StreamBase Server on Solaris.
SB-13305 In previous releases, StreamBase recordings of applications that resided in a subfolder of a project sometimes resulted in an error message at the completion of a recording. The recordings were correctly made, but Studio had trouble locating them. This situation was corrected.
SB-13287 In previous Studio releases, in the Properties view for a Query Table, if you specified a secondary index of type Unordered (hash), that selection was honored and saved correctly. However, the next time you entered the Properties view for the same Query Table, and opened the Edit Secondary Index dialog, the secondary index type reverted to Ordered (btree). This situation was corrected.
SB-13226 In previous releases, the UNIX installers for the TIBCO Rendezvous external adapter presumed an installation directory in /opt/streambase. This installers were updated to allow the adapter to be relocated during installation.
SB-13207 In previous Studio releases, when set to use a separate layout file for an EventFlow application, if you moved a component group as a whole, the components inside that group did not preserve their layout information when the group was next opened. This was fixed.

SB-12779 On Windows, with multiple instances of StreamBase Server running as a service on the same machine, event log messages from each server instance were hard to distinguish. This was fixed by adding your assigned service name to the Source field of each event log entry that comes from the server startup code.

SB-11237, SB-4625

In previous releases, in some circumstances StreamBase Studio would generate a typecheck error with a message to remove a row that you could not remove because the row was not displayed in the Properties view. This could occur when you edited a data construct associated with an operator and then attempted to save the changes.

Starting in release 6.1.1, the Properties view is more proactive in determining whether changes in associated components in the EventFlow application require re-typechecking the current component. This behavior change fixes the problem described above, but may cause your EventFlow applications to be flagged more often as unsaved.

SB-11857 The flushBuffer() method in the StreamBaseClient API for Java, C++, and .NET was throwing an exception if called before enqueuing was enabled. This was fixed, and flushBuffer() now returns a helpful error message if called on an unenqueued stream.
SB-11426 In release 6.0.x, in StreamBase Manager, the Latest Size column in the Queues view always showed zero, even when running multiple-container applications with enqueues between containers. This was corrected, and the Queues view now reports the same information as sbmonitor for the same running applications.
SB-10876 In release 6.0.x, hierarchical data and the tuple data type were not supported universally throughout StreamBase Studio. As of release 6.1, hierarchical data is fully supported in feed simulations and when using the Unit Test feature.
SB-10484 You can now add properties of type timestamp when using Studio's wizards to generate Java code for custom Java operators and adapters. Fields corresponding to such properties are now correctly displayed and typechecked in the Properties view for an instance of the custom operator or adapter. In release 6.0 and earlier, you could specify properties of type timestamp directly in Java code without using the Studio wizards, but the corresponding fields did not appear in the Properties view in Studio.
SB-10468 In releases 5.0.x and 5.1.x, some SQL queries succeeded when first connecting to the database server but failed when reconnecting after an error. This problem occurred when using the JDBC operator and a JDBC data source. This problem was fixed.
SB-6974 StreamBase Studio 6.0 added the Group feature to the EventFlow Editor, which allows you to draw a visual group box around a selected set of components in the canvas.

SB-11404 In previous releases, when the CSV file reader adapter encountered a badly formed line in a CSV file, it silently discarded that record and the rest of the file. The adapter now displays a warning message under the same circumstances.
SB-11392 StreamBase Server could fail to start due to incorrectly parsed JVM arguments if the jvm-args parameter in the java-vm section of the configuration file contained any JVM path setting that contained spaces. It did not matter whether the setting was explicit or specified by means of an environment variable. This was fixed.
SB-11270 In release 6.0.0, the 64-bit Windows overlay installation kit was installed by default for the currently logged in user, whereas the 32-bit base StreamBase for Windows kit is installed for all users. If both kits were installed by one user, another username on the same Windows machine would not see the 64-bit overlay kit's additions to the Start menu. This was corrected, and the 64-bit Windows overlay kit now installs for all users like the base kit.
SB-11240, SB-11155 In release 6.0.0, the E-mail Sender output adapter could fail with an UnsupportedDataTypeException error. The cause was found and fixed.
SB-11152 When setting up an Aggregate operator with a group option, some typechecking error messages show only in the General tab, not the Group Options tab where the error occurred. This was corrected.
SB-10587 When you connect a Query operator to a JDBC table data source, you can enable concurrency options in the Concurrency tab of the Properties view. In previous releases, settings in the Run in parallel threads section of this tab were not preserved. This was corrected.
Fixed in 6.0.1

In the 6.0.0 release, if your dynamic variables do not appear to be updating correctly, it could be because StreamBase introduced a change in the way dynamic variable update expressions are specified. In version 6 and later, update expressions can reference the old value of the dynamic variable, in addition to fields on the stream. Due to new support for the tuple data type, the entire tuple on the stream can also be referenced by using the stream's name.

As a result of this new functionality, a field reference in an update expression can be ambiguous if any two of the variable name, field name on the stream, or stream name itself are the same, and that name is used in the update expression. In 6.0.0, StreamBase did not generate an error about this ambiguity, and in fact changed the default behavior. The most common result of this change in behavior is that dynamic variables would appear to not be updating.

To address this problem, release 6.0.1 and later supports two new behaviors. In the first place, if there is such a naming conflict, Studio generates a typecheck error to notify you to change the names that cause the conflict.

Secondly, you can add a prefix to the names that are in conflict to disambiguate between the fields you are trying to access:

  • Add the name of the stream followed by a period as a prefix to the field name to access the field on the stream.

  • Add old. as a prefix to the name of the dynamic variable to access the old value of the dynamic variable.

  • No prefix is needed to access the tuple on the stream, just use the stream name by itself.

The best practice to keep your programs readable is to never use the same name for a variable and the stream that updates it.

For example, suppose you defined a dynamic variable named Threshold to update from a field named Threshold, with an updating expression Threshold, and the output stream is StreamName. To resolve the error and match old behavior, change the updating expression to StreamName.Threshold. To take advantage of new behavior, and access the old value of the variable, use an update expression such as old.Threshold + StreamName.Threshold, which increments the threshold whenever a new event arrives on StreamName.

SB-11372 In release 6.0.0, if had a StreamBase application file open in StreamBase Studio, and you modified and saved the same file outside of Studio, Studio failed to issue a warning that the file was modified outside of Studio, and overwrote the external changes when it next saved the file. In release 6.0.1, this issue was corrected. Studio now determines that external file changes have occurred, and responds appropriately.
SB-11355 In release 6.0.0, fields of type tuple did not work correctly on Solaris platforms. This was corrected.
SB-11351 In release 6.0 there was a problem when you used the visual debugger to look at an arc immediately after an operator computed a value. In this situation it was possible for the debugger to display re-computed values. Subsequent arcs showed correct values, and only the display was affected by the problem. That is, the re-computation did not cause any loss of data, or any changes in the behavior of the application. This problem was corrected.
SB-11347 The Feed Simulation dialog box for specifying enumerated values has a Remove button that was not enabled in Version 6.0.0. As of release 6.0.1, this button is enabled.
SB-11339 The <jar> and <dir> elements in the StreamBase Server configuration file are used to add classes required by custom operator and embedded adapter classes. In previous releases, there were situations where the added classes were not made visible to the custom classes, resulting in customer classes that would fail to load or operate correctly. As of this release, these visibility problems were eliminated.

Users of the JDBC and EMS/JMS adapters, please note that there is a change in the way that you extend the classpath when running the sb-jdbc, sb-ems-enqueue, sb-ems-dequeue, sb-ems-publish, and sb-ems-subscribe commands.

In previous releases, on Linux and Solaris, you could use a command line option (–c classpath) to extend the classpath. This option is no longer available.

In previous releases, on Windows, you were required to edit the ini file for the script. This is no longer required.

On Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms, these programs now prepend the value of the CLASSPATH environment variable to their internal classpath entries. Editing CLASSPATH is the recommended way for users to extend the adapter's classpath.

SB-11333 In release 6.0.0, if a container connection was added while a container was suspended, the connection did not resume when the container was resumed. This was corrected.
SB-11295 In release 6.0.0, if your Studio project had a module that used a query table, and the index table for the query table was modified, Studio did not perform the required typecheck. To work around this problem, you had to run a manual typecheck. This was fixed in release 6.0.1, and the manual typecheck is no longer required.
SB-11286 In release 6.0.0, there was a problem if you attempted to launch the StreamBase Studio visual debugger on an application that was precompiled as an archive file with .sbar extension. In this situation, the debugger fails to launch. In release 6.0.1, this behavior changed as follows: instead of failing to launch the debugger, Studio issues a warning, and launches the debugger against the precompiled EventFlow or StreamSQL application instead.
SB-11275 The following Java property was added to the sbtest command: streambase.sbtest.double-compare-epsilon The default value is 0.00001. You can use this property to handle rounding issues when comparing values that are doubles.
SB-10884

This release adds a way to control the size of the internal queue used between a Java StreamBaseClient's main thread and the dequeuing thread. Previously, you could control the number of batches of tuples in the queue using the Java property streambase.max-queue-size, which has a default size of 500 batches. However, if a client gets behind in dequeuing, the server starts sending larger batches, which requires more memory usage by the client.

To remedy this situation, there is a new Java property in the StreamBaseClient API:

streambase.client.max-tuples-in-queue

The default value is 10000 tuples. This property limits the absolute number of tuples in the queue, promoting better client behavior. This new Java property also affects the StreamBase to StreamBase input adapter.

There is also a new Java property for the server:

streambase.sbd.max-tuples-in-dequeue-packet

This property limits the number of packets the server includes in any one dequeue packet. The default value is 10000, which matches the default of the new client property described above. Administrators can set both server and client with matching values to make sure client dequeues are not overwhelmed.

SB-10443 The shutdown(String containerName) method of the StreamBaseAdminClient class was previously documented to shut down the containing server if the specified container is the last container. This method now performs the same operation as removeContainer().

In releases 5.0 through 6.0.0, on the Windows platform, StreamBase Studio did not take into account the possibility that you had moved your My Documents folder when creating your workspace as a subdirectory of My Documents. This was fixed.

Note: after you install release 6.0.x, Studio can continue to use any workspace it has already created. There is no need to move the folder containing your workspace.

SB-10564 In StreamBase Studio, you could not delete values from the enumerated list for a field in a schema in a feed simulation process definition. Also, if there were more than 35 fields in the schema, Studio failed to display the dialog for creating the enumerated list for a field. This was fixed.
Fixed in 6.0

SB-11010 In previous releases, an aggregate operator configured with a group-by expression with the same output name as one of its input fields would cause Studio to display an IllegalArgumentException error dialog. This has been fixed, and the operator now reports an appropriate typecheck error instead.
SB-10899 In release 5.1, the HA sample opened in Studio with typecheck errors until you manually set up a reference to an external JAR. This was corrected in 6.0, and the sample opens in Studio ready for study.
SB-10877 In previous releases, in the Operation Settings tab of the Query operator's Properties view, if you specified an action to take if the update or insert failed, an int to string conversion was sometimes silently allowed. This conversion is no longer allowed.
SB-10828 In release 5.1, StreamBase to StreamBase connections would fail silently if the input and output streams had incompatible schemas. The same conditions in 6.0 now produce an error message.
SB-10811 In previous releases, dynamic variables could not be used in aggregate expression calculations. This was fixed.
SB-10778 Previous releases did not notify you during typechecking when a table scan is being used. Starting with 6.0, a warning is now displayed in the Console view.
SB-10629 In previous releases, the Clickstream demo application shipped with StreamBase in EventFlow form would fail to convert to StreamSQL. This was fixed.
SB-10569 The custom function wizard in StreamBase Studio now uses more appropriate names for aliases.
SB-10568 In previous releases, Studio could set an incorrect classpath if the path to the user's Studio workspace was too long. This was corrected.
SB-10519 When using the EMS/JMS adapters, it is now possible to specify a timestamp format for use with ToJMSMessageConverter.
SB-10462 In previous releases, an expression with two plus signs (such as item++item2) was interpreted as a simple add operation instead of being flagged as an error. Such expressions now correctly cause a typecheck error.
SB-10417 The min and max expression language functions now permit strings and mixed numeric data types as arguments.
SB-9156 Customers setting max-client-pages to 0 were insufficiently warned of the consequences. Now a WARNING message displays at server startup explaining that this setting can lead to server crashes from memory exhaustion.
SB-9031 In previous releases, when using the EMS/JMS embedded reader adapter and the EMS/JMS external enqueuing adapter, incoming strings too large for the corresponding StreamBase field were silently set to null. It is now possible to configure these adapters to truncate incoming messages to fit.
SB-9106 The sb-ems-enqueue command (part of the EMS/JMS adapter package) now emits log messages with connection information for every connection and disconnection from a JMS server.
SB-9006 The EMS/JMS adapter now supports the TIBCO EMS RELIABLE_DELIVERY mode. .
SB-8822 In previous releases, simple errors such as a divide-by-zero error could shut down the running sbd server. This was fixed as part of the high availability improvements in 6.0.
SB-7517 Various issues with the Extract as Module feature were fixed.
SB-7266, #62441

In general, properties for Java operators specified in the server's sbd.sbconf file are evaluated at compile time rather than at runtime. In release 5.1, this was causing confusion with precompiled applications (described in Precompiled Application Archives), because operator properties specified in the runtime sbd.sbconf were silently ignored when a precompiled application file was generated.

This was fixed. Starting with release 6.0, properties for Java operators specified in sbd.sbconf are correctly passed to StreamBase Server when it loads a precompiled application file.

SB-6977 In previous releases, if you deleted a component from the Outline view in the EventFlow editor, you were not prompted to confirm, even with preferences set to prompt on delete. This was corrected.
SB-6145 In previous releases, the filter operator would automatically check the false port option if you had more than one predicate, and the last predicate was true. The filter operator no longer does this, and preserves your predicate entries as entered.
SB-5722, #25825, SB-10608, SB-10940 In previous releases, input adapters that read data from files, such as the CSV Input Adapter, when run under StreamBase Studio, could start so quickly that their output was not caught by Studio, if they completed reading the file before Studio connected to the running server. This was fixed.
#73724 In StreamBase Reuters Edition 5.1.x, portions of the RFA/Java Configuration Wizard were disabled for RTIC servers until a workaround was put in place. In release 6.0, the workaround is automatically in place, so the wizard works normally for RTIC servers. The Test Connection button is disabled for RTIC connections, but the wizard now generates a correct configuration file for your RTC connection.
