Upgraded PRIME to 3.8, see Upgrade Identity Manager.

The Jasper Reports framework, that is used in PRIME to create PDF documents for reporting, PIN letter, receipts, and so on, has been updated for PRIME 3.8 to version 6.5.1.

1. To create jasper report templates (.jrxml) for PRIME 3.8, make sure you use an updated report design tool, such as Jaspersoft Studio version 6.6 or later.

2. If binary data, for example photos, is used in the PDF templates, the following change needs to be done in the JRXML template:
   Change from:

   Old definition

   <field name="Person_Photo" class="net.sf.jasperreports.engine.JRRenderable"/>

   to:

   New definition

   <field name="Person_Photo" class="net.sf.jasperreports.renderers.Renderable"/>

   The change can also be done by editing the JRXML template in the updated report design tool.

   All other report functionalities will work without any further changes.

The html version of PRIME Explorer is the default front end for operators. The java webstart PRIME Explorer is still supported, but will soon become deprecated.

Customers who still want to use the PRIME Explorer java version instead of the html Version, must change the style settings on the PRIME Explorer server:

1. Open the file \prime_explorer\eclntjsfserver\config\sessiondefaults.xml for editing.

2. Change from:

   Old definition

   <sessiondefaults style="act3_risc"/>

   to:

   New definition

   
   
   

New settings were added in PRIME Explorer to avoid failure of JPKIEncoder download or CA connector calls during card production, if https client authentication is used.

If you use client authentication to log in to PRIME Explorer or User Self-Service Portal (USSP), such as browser-based smart card or soft token login, do the following:

1. Open the file \webapps\prime_explorer\WEB-INF\classes\system.properties for editing.

2. Make sure to specify https ports without client authentication for both JPKIEncoder download or CA connector calls:

   JPKIEncoder download

   
   
   

Server-side card production was revised with this release to overcome a couple of limitations in the old implementation.

Specifically, the task serverSideProductionPreviewTask.jsp was removed and service tasks for server-side production were changed. This means, custom processes using this feature need to be adapted accordingly.

Contact Nexus for further details, if you are using this feature.

All standard processes and custom processes using client-side card production, which is the default approach, will not be affected and can be used with PRIME 3.8 without any changes.
