Page level anonymous access was introduced in 8.7.1. In this release, such access moves to the App level. This is a breaking change for anyone who uses it at the Page level, as the settings are not preserved on upgrade, and must be implemented again. In Product Admin, on the Apps tab, each App now includes an Allow Anonymous Access setting.

Allow Anonymous Access can be set to:

• None. The user must provide a valid username and password.
• Preset User Context. All access to the App is as the user given in the User Context dropdown. If you previously implemented such access at the Page level, this is how you reimplement it at the App level.
• HubCapp Page to Page. The App runs with the user context supplied in the initialization of Page to Page communications using HubCapp. Note that the Page to Page communications protocol via HubCapp is not documented on this site. If you have been given access to this capability and have implemented it, note the following:
  • The interface to Page to Page communications via HubCapp has not changed. This means that no changes are required on the parent site.
  • The Restriction.xml file is no longer used. Instead, use the embedded App's Only Allow These Hosts setting to restrict access.

There is a new Transtream Setup (3.8.0) and a new HubCapp server (1.4.0). In Transtream Setup, use Help > Check For Updates. The new version is also available from Downloads.

Download, Import or Add Apps includes details on the various App level settings available on the Apps tab in Product Admin.

• HubCapp Server Uri
• HubCapp Server License Key
• HubCapp Server Timeout

See HubCapp - Blackbox printing. It includes details of the Pierbridge schemas that support Blackbox printing requests in their Output nodes.

There is a new HubCapp server (1.4.0) and a new HubCapp Peripheral Agent (2.3.0).

• GlobalPost Economy
• GlobalPost Priority
• GlobalPost SmartSaver Economy
• GlobalPost SmartSaver Priority

• Domestic. The Ship From address is set to the return address elements in the Request sent to the carrier, and the InductionPostalCode field is set to the sender’s zip code.
• International. The Ship From address remains mapped to the sender's address, and the Return address is mapped to the AltReturnAddress field in the Request to the carrier. This allows for the correct display of sender and return-to details on international documents.

• Updated date handling so that the transaction does not perform offsetting when passing the start and end dates to SQL Server. Previously, these values were affected by the timezone of the user submitting the request, even though they are stored in the database without a timestamp potentially causing the records to be filtered.
• The default value for NumberOfDays is now 7 rather than 1 since this allows better usage at the start of the week when no closeouts had been performed over the weekend.

• Standard Mail (Custom) is now Marketing Mail
• Standard Mail (DBMC) is now Marketing Mail (DBMC)

• The Select Carrier dropdown shows only onboarded carriers that the user has permissions to use.
• The Select Account dropdown filters the content per carrier selected.
