New Features in ADONIS 17.4

ADONIS 17.4 builds on the foundation of 17.0 and delivers quality-of-life additions across core areas such as saved queries, metamodel rights management, named user administration, corporate identity settings and the REST API. This release also expands the AI Assistant with support for OpenAI-compliant providers and AWS Bedrock IAM roles.

Read on to learn more about the new features in ADONIS 17.4.

New Features for All Users​

Saved Queries: Copy ID and REST URL to Clipboard​

We’ve added two new options to streamline work for developers and data analysts when using saved search queries:

  • Copy ID to clipboard: Quickly copy the unique identifier of a saved query to the clipboard, perfect for targeting specific queries via the ADONIS REST API.

  • Copy REST URL to clipboard: Generate a ready-to-use REST URL instantly for use in external applications like Microsoft Excel.

Wskazówka

For details, please refer to the section "Manage Saved Queries" in the User Manual.

New Features for ADONIS Administrators​

AI Assistant: Support for OpenAI-compliant Services and AWS Bedrock IAM Roles​

ADONIS 17.4 extends the capabilities of the AI Assistant with two major enhancements: support for OpenAI-compliant services and IAM Roles for Amazon Bedrock.

OpenAI-compliant Services​

You can now connect the AI Assistant to OpenAI-compliant services. This allows you to integrate any provider that implements the OpenAI API specification, including self-hosted, third-party or open-source model deployments. This gives you greater freedom to tailor the AI Assistant to your infrastructure, security requirements and preferred model landscape.

Wskazówka

For information on how to configure OpenAI-compliant services for the AI Assistant, please refer to the section "AI Assistant" in the Administration Help.

Support for IAM Roles for Amazon Bedrock​

For organisations using Amazon Bedrock, ADONIS 17.4 introduces support for authentication via IAM roles. This provides an alternative to the existing method of using long-term AWS access keys.

While the standard key-based setup remains a secure and supported option, this new method allows the AI Assistant to access Bedrock models using assumed roles and temporary security credentials. This extension is designed for customers whose internal IT policies require a keyless authentication flow.

Wskazówka

Configuring the AI Assistant to use IAM Roles for Amazon Bedrock requires specific technical configuration. Please contact your ADONIS consultant for assistance with these steps.

Remove All Named Users From Scenario​

A new feature allows administrators to remove all named users from selected application scenarios (for example, Design & Document) at once. Simply select a scenario to highlight all included users and remove their assignments in a single bulk action.

Corporate Identity: SVG Logos​

ADONIS now supports uploading corporate logos for your organisation's CI scheme in SVG format, ensuring they remain crisp at any resolution or screen size. Previously, only JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF were allowed.

Wskazówka

For details, please refer to the section "Corporate Identity" in the Administration Help.

Metamodel Rights: Show Restricted Targets​

ADONIS 17.4 introduces a new option on the Rights page of the ADONIS Administration. When working on metamodel rights with Expert Mode enabled, you can now display target classes of relations that are normally hidden due to endpoint restrictions.

Wskazówka

Endpoint restrictions define which object classes a relation class may connect to. These restrictions can only be configured by ADONIS product developers or customisers as part of the application library.

To show restricted targets, you can use the new Show restricted targets option. When enabled:

  • All target classes of a selected relation class are displayed, including those normally hidden due to endpoint restrictions.

  • Restricted target classes are clearly marked with the label (restricted).

Show restricted targets

This makes it easier for administrators to understand the full connection possibilities of a relation class, even if certain endpoints are intentionally limited in the application library.

Wskazówka

For details, please refer to the section "Manage Metamodel Rights" in the Administration Help.

REST API Improvements​

The ADONIS REST API has been significantly expanded in ADONIS 17.4 to provide more flexibility for integrations and more granular access to metamodel and repository data. Key updates include:

  • Enriched User Data: The /users endpoint now supports the ?include=groupInfo parameter, allowing you to retrieve group IDs and names directly with the user profile.

  • Unified Object Operations: Endpoints for creating and updating objects now support the full range of parameters available for object retrieval (e.g., richText, showAll, includeGroupPath).

  • New Metamodel Endpoints: Dedicated endpoints for global attributes (/metamodel/attributes) have been added, including support for retrieving technical info texts.

  • Enhanced Class Metadata: The /metamodel/classes endpoints now offer a powerful include parameter to fetch attributes, properties configurations, relations, and detailed info texts in a single request.

  • Direct Repository References: When fetching models, a new repositoryObjectId property is included for modelling instances and modelling relations of repository objects, simplifying the link between the model view and the underlying repository data.

  • Enum Language Independence: It is now possible to fetch language-independent values for ENUM attributes when retrieving relation details.

Wskazówka

For detailed technical specifications and endpoint documentation, please refer to the Swagger API Reference on the BOC Developer Portal.
