The user right-clicks on EaInfoportT3_Delivery.zip and calls up the properties. In the “General” > Security tab then click on the “Unblock”  button and unzip the corresponding .zip again – the error should be resolved.
 

  • Another error is related to the EaInfoportT3 database language – it must be created in utf8_general_ci

If it is created in a wrong language, an error containing the following characters is displayed in the console: Incorrect string value: '\xC5\x98\xC3\xA1de...'

  • FIPSPolicy error

Error form: [ERR] An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.

at System.Security.Cryptography.MD5CryptoServiceProvider..ctor()

Fix: The following lines must be added to EaInfoportT3.exe.config.

<configuration>                                                           
    <runtime>
        <!-- below tag will disable security policy checking for FIPS -->
        <enforceFIPSPolicy enabled="false"/>
    </runtime>
</configuration>

Settings of the scopes

EaInfoportT3 has a new functionality that allows globally filtering the tree based on „proprety Scope“.

It is possible to determine the visibility of attributes, operations or elements.

The repository manager will find the settings below in the "Repository Management" section → "Repository Detail“

Here is a newly added section of filters in which you can set the visibility of artifacts in the repository tree.
