System Requirement Changes Simplifier 10 LTS

Currently, there are no new system requirements.

See also our General Server Requirements.

As our new features like Workflows or the new Monitoring do not support Oracle and Oracle support will be deprecated in the future, we recommend to switch to MySQL completely

General Upgrade Instructions for Simplifier 10 LTS

To increase security on the default setup, the standard password of the user ‘admin’ now has to be set as an environmental variable. For all details, see your upgrade/installation guide.

Will be published with release of Simplifier 10.

Manual Changes that should already be done before upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS

Allow *.simplifier.cloud in firewall

Simplifier requires access to *.simplifier.cloud domains to make all features available. Please allow access to *.simplifier.cloud in your firewall settings. (Read more)

Replace Captcha Plugin

Our Captcha Plugin is deprecated and will be removed with Simplifier 10 from the plugin list in our default installation/upgrade guides. If you are using the Plugin, you should start replacing it now so you do not have to change your applications under time pressure.

AI and similar techniques can already solve captchas. So check if other solutions like rate limits fit your use case better. If you want to stick to captchas, check our Knowledge Base on ‘How to use Google reCAPTCHA v3 Essentials‘ for an alternative solution (Read more).

Activate enhanced security (optional)

Activate enhanced security for Business Objects, Templates, and Plugins, if you have deactivated them. (See documentation)

Please check if your roles are set up accordingly and contain execution permission for all required Server-side Business Objects, read permission for all the necessary Templates as well as the relevant Plugin Permissions. Take care that you explicitly use your app-relevant/project roles during testing (and not Standard-Roles like SF_Developer or SF_Administrator).

Manual Changes to be done after upgrading to Simplifier 10 LTS

Update Standard Content

Update Standard Content to ensure you have all current fixes and features available on your instances. (Download for Simplifier 9 here; Download for Simplifier 10 will be published with Simplifier 10)

Please check the endpoint of AppWizard Connector, Standard Workflow Connectors, Login, and Captcha Connector. (Read more)

Deprecated Features Simplifier 10 LTS

[Integration] Simplifier Mobile Client for Android on Windows

Unfortunately, Microsoft has announced the end of support for Windows Subsystem for Android on March 5th 2025. With the end of support, our Simplifier Mobile Client for Android won’t work on Windows anymore. If you have already installed the Simplifier Mobile Client in Windows Subsystem for Android before March 5th 2024 you will continue to have access to the Simplifier Mobile Client until the end of support. (Read more on microsoft.com)

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 2; Removal March 5th 2025

[Integration] Javascript execution in PDFs created by PDF Plugin

Currently, it is possible to add Javascript to PDFs created by PDF Plugin. This is a potential risk for Server Side XSS (PDF Injection) and Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The option to add Javascript to PDFs in PDF Plugin is now deactivated but can be activated at its own risk. The activation is subject to be removed in later Releases.

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 3; Removal tbd

[System requirements] Support of Oracle for Simplifier databases

Oracle support for your Simplifier instances has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

Removed Features Simplifier 10 LTS

[Interaction] Event tab in UI Designer

Our UI designer still has the legacy feature to add scripts to events directly in the Event tab. As we want to provide a consistent App Building we will remove this feature with Simplifier 10. Simply use our Process Designer instead.

Deprecated since Simplifier 8 EHP 3

[Integration] Final removal of Logging Connector

With Simplifier 7.0 we have dropped the Support for the Logging Connector. Existing Connectors could still be executed. As a replacement, you can use the Simplifier.Logging Object within Business Objects. (Read more)

Migration Notes

System Requirement Changes Simplifier 10 LTS

Currently, there are no new system requirements.

See also our General Server Requirements.

As our new features like Workflows or the new Monitoring do not support Oracle and Oracle support will be deprecated in the future, we recommend to switch to MySQL completely

General Upgrade Instructions for Simplifier 10 LTS

To increase security on the default setup, the standard password of the user ‘admin’ now has to be set as an environmental variable. For all details, see your upgrade/installation guide.

Will be published with release of Simplifier 10.
