62872 - Middle-tier and server component changes for SAS® Risk and Finance Workbench

Problem Note 62872: Middle-tier and server component changes for SAS® Risk and Finance Workbench

This SAS Note provides a summary of the changes and enhancements made for SAS Risk and Finance Workbench

Enhanced handling of hierarchies to retain hierarchy versions if a hierarchy is updated or added.
Improved handling of work groups in the Model Group Run page so that the Work Group drop-down list contains only Risk work groups (created using the script) and an RFW capability.
Added a dimension check that uses a dimension ID so that changes can be made to dimensions.
Improved processing of shock fade-in and fade-outs for scenarios and Model Sensitivity Analysis (MSA).
Added a check so that process definitions that do not have a transition to the last task are not imported.
Added an _OG function so that the "as of date" for projects can be added to report templates.
Enhanced the handling of the PUBLIC keyword for work groups to better handle various casings that might occur in API calls.
Improved the handling of work groups by middle-tier APIs.
Enhanced the reporting API to accommodate newly introduced changes (cross-module validations and validation rule changes) in European Banking Authority (EBA) 2.8.0.0.
Improved log messages for archive importation failures when the import objects are different on the machine and in the archive.
Improved security so that authorized users cannot access the project attachments unless they have access to the project.
Improved security by using Apache POI JAR file version 3.17 (or later).
Improved the hierarchy-creation functionality for reports and worksheets for Regulatory Content packages that use EBA taxonomies.

Added the model_group_run_create function to the rfw_api module so that model group runs can be created.
Improved the functioning of the model_group_run so that filed runs are managed with better error messaging.
Added "Nonexistence check"–type validation rules for Regulatory Content packages that use EBA taxonomies.
Improved the Validation Failure reporting for Regulatory Content packages that use EBA taxonomies.
Added the model_group_run_execute API to better specify model group runs by entity and scenario.
Enhanced the worksheet_data_get call so that filters are passed by using the scenarioName parameter and entity.
Enhanced Lua API functionality for project creation to support the addition of more worksheets.

Changed running multiple reports from simultaneous to serial, which avoids severe slowdowns on SASServer11 and out-of-memory exceptions.
