 Important Notes on SOLIDserver
v5.0.3

IPAM
Default behaviors
The default behaviors configuration wizard was edited at subnet level. The Edit the subnet
gateway IP address is now called Display the Gateway field. If you do not want to activate the
automatic gateway calculation, empty the Offset gateway field.

Administration
Rules
The rules 114 & 115 have been removed. They used to send an alert if the server is in timeout
respectively for the DHCP and the DNS. Now you need to manually add an alert on the All
servers page of each module to receive an email whenever the server status changes to Timeout.

Class Studio
The following useless class objects were removed from the available Predefined variable list:

• WORKFLOW_REQUEST_HIDE_OBJECT_NAME.
• WORKFLOW_REQUEST_HIDE_NAME.
• WORKFLOW_REQUEST_HIDE_SOURCE.
• IS_DEVICE_MANAGER_DEVICE.
• IS_DEVICE_MANAGER_INTERFACE.

GUI
Homepage Welcome banner
With the new edition options available on the welcome banner, we strongly recommend that
you edit the title from the banner itself rather than from the registry database as formerly de-
tailed in the guide.

Development
Custom DB
Custom DB services were rewritten. Four new services were introduced to replace deprecated
ones.
