Oxcyon provides support throughout our agreement, including Evergreen Updates, SDK access, and ongoing training.

Developer Support

Oxcyon supports your development team by granting them full customization control over Centralpoint. We offer an SDK, Class Library, and database diagrams upon request. Additionally, we provide tailored training for your team based on their internal development requirements. Our goal is to ensure your developers receive high-level expertise so they can work independently, minimizing our intervention. We view ourselves as a trusted ally, maintaining a partnership through our Evergreen Updates. We also learn from your developers, gaining valuable insights and ideas for future development.

Oxcyon collaborates closely with your development team to integrate with their back-office initiatives. Whether it's authenticating against your AD/LDAP or exchanging credentials through a web service, we manage the User Experience cohesively. This applies within Centralpoint or even in other applications via Centralpoint-To-Go. We can expose web services and APIs on a per-client basis, including examples of SOAP and RESTful Web Services in our SDK.

Hosting: On-Premise or SaaS

Centralpoint is versatile in its installation options: on-premise, in the Cloud, or through hybrid, FedRAMP-compliant, and Private Cloud configurations. It's compatible with Azure, AWS, Google, and other platforms. For managed cloud hosting, Rackspace is the typical choice, although we can support AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud environments. Oxcyon offers managed services for Dedicated and Cloud hosting, including Security services. Your organization might have instances of Centralpoint both in the cloud and on-premise (e.g., for an Intranet). We provide managed SaaS hosted solutions or on-premise installations, even behind firewalls.

Oxcyon ensures all clients are up-to-date through our alliance with Rackspace, which recently acquired DataPipe. This partnership offers Compliant hosting services (HIPAA, PCI, etc.). Our bi-weekly Evergreen Updates, facilitated by the Rackspace partnership, maintain your environment's relevance. These updates are optional, testable locally before activation. Regardless of your hosting choice, Centralpoint requires a Microsoft Windows Operating System and Microsoft SQL (Standard or Enterprise).

Centralpoint can be installed on premise (within your environment), hosted for you by Oxcyon, or in the Cloud (including Hybrid cloud). No matter where you host, you are guaranteed to never become obsolete due to our unique, evergreen updates. These (pull) updates, provide you with the latest, greatest version of Centralpoint at all times, including all of our out of the box modules, which we release bi-weekly.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.68

Tuesday, September 5, 2023

Feature	Summary
Admin > Natural Language Search	An early and only partially documented release of the new natural language search module. It is has been tested with Algolia and Custom search services. Once indexes have been created and populated it can be set up in Data Sources and Module Designers: Generic, Generic Plus, Generic Enhanced, Template, and Template AJAX. Web site searches (System Pages > Search) will be released next. A new Natural Language Search scheduled task has also been released to keep the remote indexes in sync. Before beginning you must create an Algolia account and configure the Application ID and App Keys in the Natural Language Search module properties. Normal module submissions should be reflected in the remote index within 15 minutes, but larger updates like data transfers occur overnight using the scheduled task.
Procedure Manuals > Policies	The Content Block Extractor module property from generic enhanced has been added.
All Generic Enhanced Modules	The recently released Generate Synonyms module property has been removed. Server-side automation of Office was discovered to cause unpredictable server behavior. If this feature was previously enabled, it will no longer generate synonyms.
Module Configuration > Grid Searchable Fields	This attribute now allows the grid view to support Roles searches which can be leveraged from PagedListBox controls that use the module view. A listItem tag as shown here is required: <listItem value="Roles:{Name OR RoleId}:{tableName}.DataId">Roles Search</listItem> The parameter variables are shown in {} notation. The search will return records which are assigned to the Roles attribute which manages the system's cpsys_DataCurrentInRoles table.
PdfViewer CpScript	The DFlip JavaScript plugin that is used with this CpScript has been upgraded from version 1.2.7 to version 1.7.35. This resolved issues with the plugin rendering problematic PDF files.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.67

Monday, August 21, 2023

Feature	Summary
DataTransfer ShortGuid script.	This method takes GUID (DataId or UserId) and generates a Base64 string which is more readable. GUID: c18736de-d8e2-4f8a-8fe8-faf287a90815 Base64 String: 3jaHweLYik-P6Pryh6kIFQ
Module Properties > Resource Content	The purpose of this feature is to extract the text from files within defined attributes and insert the file text into a system attribute named ResourceContent. This allows the file text to be indexed in the site's Full-Text Index searches. We've found it is common that the same attribute is defined in the "Word Document Content Attributes" module property. When this case occurs, the problem is that the system was extracting the contents of the file twice, inserting the same contents in two attributes, and bloating the Attributes XML. The change made to this feature is that the system will prevent the dupe file text in Resource Content when the same attribute system name is defined in the Document Content Attributes and holds a supported file extension between both methods.
CpScript ColumnSearchCriteriaInValue	A new property named IsExecutingCpScripts is supported. When enabled, the following CpScripts found within the content are replaced: AudienceInfo, UserInfo. All other CpScripts will be replaced with an empty string. The supported scripts listed above are safe from creating errors and performance issues. Please use the help file to apply to the site and review additional notes on this feature.

Feature	Summary
Console Data Transfer Try Abort process in the Pop up	In the console Try the Abort link in the Data transfer Pop up to Abort Data Transfer Process
CpScript FormAutoSave	This method has been rewritten. It should be entirely backward compatible. If there are issues that this behaves differently, please report them immediately to the Oxcyon programming team. Afterwards add the property isLegacyMode="true" to the CpScript to use the old version. The purpose of these changes is to allow console administrators with working JavaScript skills a means to call the web-service a single time without the checkbox. We've identified custom setups with this CpScript that are executing unnecessary database writes.
Module Properties > Content Block Extractor	Performance enhancements have been made to this feature to only update the source document's blocks when attributes in the block have changed. Additionally, a custom attribute named "IsContentBlockExtractorDisabled" can be added to your module. When a record is submitted with this attribute holding a value of "1", the content block extractor will not execute at all. Detailed instructions on how to add the attribute have been added in the header text of module properties.
CpScript PdfViewer	Many errors are recorded from the PDF Handler which is the code that manages this CpScript. The errors are from corrupt files and often state "Incorrect file format" or "This file's format is not supported or you don't specify a correct format.". There is no programmatic solution to resolve these problems. The PDF Handler will now return a valid PDF document in these instances informing the user that there was an error and to notify the website administrator. The PDF will show the path to the problem source file and include the error message.
Search Suggestions Report was created	To display on the website create Navigation with Page Type = URL. Enter /Pages/SearchSuggestions.aspx into the URL attribute. It will only be available for the administrators.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.65

Monday, July 24, 2023

Feature	Summary
CpScript ColumnModuleAlias	This CpScript is used to return the module alias. When a module alias does not exist, it will return the system's name from the cpsys_Modules.[Name] table. This script must be executed in a method that evaluates DataTable rows. The table must contain a ModuleId column that contains a GUID/UNIQUEIDENTIFER data type. This script was written to be used in the "Excel" option within "Search Results Output". It will also work in results views or any Data Source that contains a ModuleId column.
Module Properties > Content Block Extractor	The Content Block Extractor trigger method is creating performance issues in sites when a document contains a significant amount of headings. The system now restricts the amount of records created or updated to 100 by default. If problems persist, console admins may lower this number with a new module property named "Content Block Extractor Max Upserts".
Data Transform > Search Results Output	This is a new configuration module that is used to convert search results into various file formats. It is currently supported at System Pages > Search (tab) > Search Results Output Controls. This allows users to execute a search and download the search results into the output of the selected configuration record. Please review the help file for more details and setup assistance.
Data Transfer ReadXml	Add support to read source files from the URL in addition to the file system.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.64

Monday, July 10, 2023

Feature	Summary
SamlAttribute add support for FormatValues	DataType, emptyValue, removeMarkup,replaceText, replaceWith, ...
New DataTrasfer ReadXml Source	ReadXml will convert the XML file into the dataset

CpScript ColumnSearchCriteriaInValue	This script will now execute in UIs that are generated from AJAX methods. Additionally, a new hasTruncateOverride property is supported. When this is enabled, console admins may define the number of characters that show before and after the first found word that exists in the page's search criteria. If search criteria does not exist or is not found in the value, the "Truncate" value is used to determine the length of the text returned.
Ecommerce > CartInfo > CartDiscount	New property CartDiscount added to calculate the total Cart Discount.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.62

Monday, June 12, 2023

Feature	Summary
All Generic Enhanced Modules	A new Generate Synonyms module property has been added. When enabled it will generate synonyms for all key phrases upon document submission. Do not enable if the semantic search feature has not been manually installed in your database by a server administrator. An error message will be written to the trace if the semantic search is not enabled. Do not enable if Microsoft Office is not installed on the web server. You will receive the following error when submitting records in the client console if Office is not installed. Could not load file or assembly 'office, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Here are some considerations for server-side automation of Office. This feature may cause inserts and updates to take much longer depending upon the number of key phrases generated.
Script Generator > Script > Data Diffs	The client-side cpDataDiffs.init object now supports a hasDefaultControls property which is set to a value of false. This property can be set to true which will allow users to generate a custom UI by creating their own controls and event handlers. A new web-service method is available to be called from cpDataDiffs.getDiffHtmlFromDiffIds(sourceDiffId, compareDiffId) which allows comparison of two cpsys_DataDiff records that are not in sequence. Please read the help file for more information on and guidance on plugin properties and available methods.
Script Generator > Script > AutoComplete	This CpScript outputs JS which binds a text input HTML element to a plugin. The plugin calls a method that returns Full-Text Index search results from the system's cprel_WebSiteSearch table. It then renders the results through jQueryUi's Autocomplete Widget. The plugin has several callback functions which are used to pass data to the web-services. The callback functions are configurable to work with specific result sets and produce various UIs.

One method that returns results form cprel_WebSiteSearch and another that creates rows in cpsys_Logging. The plugin has several callback functions which are used to pass data to the web-services. The callback functions are completely configurable to work with and produce various UIs.

Centralpoint Update 8.11.60

A single server setup, accommodating both SQL and Centralpoint, serves as the minimum requirement, Windows 2019. Concurrently, Microsoft SQL, available in Standard or Enterprise versions, must be installed. While clients often opt for separate servers for Centralpoint and SQL, this is not obligatory.
