2022.2 adds more support for administrators to better manage code values used in the database. It introduces Virtual Dataviews and adds support to generate inventories for material sent for regeneration.

New features and API updates:

• Generate "withdrawn Inventories" from OrderRequest
• Virtual Dataviews and Lookups
• CodeValue statistics API

Improvements and bug fixes:

• Added missing @CodeValueField annotations to the model
• Refuse deletion of used code values
• Replace and remove a code value with another code
• Fixed incorrect role check when accessing API with OAuth Client authentication
• Use Lax HTTP ATiC cookie setting when not on https://
• MCPD: Accession availability is based on current inventory data

Database changes:

• Added withdrawn_inventory_id column to order_request_item (as foreign key to inventory table) to hold the optional reference to the withdrawn inventory.

Tracking withdrawn material

Distribution of germplasm generally does not require the genebank to maintain the same level of detail for the sample as for the material in the collection (meaning that we do not register a new Inventory record because we don't expect to monitor it in the future). Samples sent for viability or health testing may be tracked using the order_request_item_id since the test results will be applied back to the source inventory.

Select cases however require the genebank to manage the information about the withdrawn material. Samples sent for safety duplication should be handled as if they are just in a different room: you want to know the quantity, location, dates, etc. about everything that is backed up. Similarly, material sent for regeneration will (hopefully) come back to the genebank and the database should be ready to receive the fresh material when it arrives.

GGCE now allows you to generate Inventory records for such cases and will link each record with its source inventory and populate the necessary fields.

Managing Code Values

GGCE now protects code values from being removed from the database if they are currently in use. At the same time, it allows for removing unused codes and for merging two codes with the same meaning into one code. It is also able to detect any codes that are used in the database, but are missing definitions as Code Values (and translations).

Virtual Dataviews and Lookups

MSSQL database engine is primarily used for full compatibility with the Dataviews included with GG. We are making progress towards removing the dependency on MSSQL for GGCE server and the important first step is to avoid using sql_dataview and related tables.

GGCE introduces virtual dataviews and lookups that are generated from the object model and do not require manual updating of the sys_* data with the GG Admin Tool. Virtual dataviews and lookups still allow for using the Curator & Search Tools with GGCE for bulk data manipulation.
