Export and Import Issues Resolved in 2022.01

The following issue related to the Data Export and Import functionality was resolved in the 2022.01 release.

Unrestricted Data Upload for an Import Now Addressed

Previously, FlexNet Operations would allow almost any file type to be uploaded from the Import Data Objects window, including file types not supported by the import. Although FlexNet Operations would throw an error for the unsupported file type when the actual import of the uploaded file was attempted, the fact that any file could be uploaded to a web root folder was a security issue.

To address this issue, FlexNet Operations now shows only supported file types (Unicode text and executable jar) for an import at the time the user selects the file from the Import Data Objects window. If the selected file type is unsupported for the type of upload requested, an error is thrown, telling the user to select a file type corresponding to the upload type.
