New Features

Deploy and Deploy Packager Overrides for the storedLogicValidityAction Project Setting

In 6.7 a new project setting (storedLogicValidityAction) was introduced that allows the user define whether a Deploy operation should treat deployments that result in new invalid stored logic objects as failed deployments. In this release an override for this project setting has been included for Deploy & Deploy Packager operations initiated from the CLI and the GUI. This override can be set in one of two ways:

In the "Deploy with Options" and "Deploy Packager" dialogs in the GUI, you can check or uncheck the option: Fail Deployments that produce new invalid object errors
When using the CLI to perform a deploy operation or run deployPackager.groovy, you can set the --invalidsAction option to one of the values below. NOTE: Option would be applied when Stored Logic Validity Check is not disabled.
- warn: Set to either warn (default), current behavior. New invalid stored logic will cause the Deploy to flag as deployment warning.
- fail: New invalid stored logic will cause a deployment to be marked as a failure.

Known Issues

Checksum Errors when Performing Status on Deployed AddUniqueConstraints Changes

If you deploy AddUniqueConstraint changes using Datical DB v6.7 or later AND you deploy changes using an older version of Datical DB, you get errors during Status operations. The error is reported when the status command performs checksum validation. Checksum creation was changed in version 2019.2.

Starting in v6.7, the Status operation accepts "old" checksums. However, if you attempt a Status operation using an old client, it reports an error on changes deployed by a new client.

Old - before version 2019.2
New - version 2019.2 or later

	Change deployed by old (5.x)	Change deployed by new (2019.2+)
Status run using old	Works	Does not work. Upgrade required.
Status run using new	Works	Works

Datical now notes version matching for clients working on the same release pipeline. See Liquibase Enterprise Version Requirements.
