Machine data arrives as a Maximo asset export (validated against the WINC
site) that must update existing machines in place, not create canonical
per-table rows, so it does not fit the ShopDB-native/Azure/Thor CSV adapter
path. Bulk edits to live machines also need an escape hatch, so the whole
commit is journaled and can be undone as one batch.
Add a dedicated dry-run analyzer, approval packet, resolver/suggest helpers,
and a reversible writer/undo backed by a new importbatches/importjournalentries
schema (with migration). Expose preview/commit/batches/undo settings routes and
a matching frontend source card and panel, and surface the batch/journal
contract through shopdb.api for plugins.
AppVersion gains sha256 and silentargs so the endpoint update_app push can pin exact installer bytes and carry per-version silent switches; Application gains installersha256 for the app-level install source. New ShopDB-hosted script library (Script model plus scripts API) backs run_script delivery, with the body fetched by digest on push rather than pre-staged or sent over the command wire. Two idempotent migrations with real downgrades. Script added to the shopdb.api contract surface for plugin use.
Assign printers to a MACHINE and let whichever PC controls it install them, with
the observed half kept strictly apart from the assigned half: a collector report
can never write an assignment row. Adoption is explicit. Adds a singular
relationship type so defaultprinter can mean exactly one, client scripts that
converge a bay's queues and correct a drifted one in place, and a wave gate so a
fleet-wide driver rollout cannot stampede its own share.
On the container side: the compose stack never persisted the instance directory,
so a rebuild discarded plugins.json and every upload. It is a volume now, the
image ships instance/ owned by the app user so the mountpoint is writable, and
the database moves to MySQL 8.4 LTS, which the Windows runbook has recommended
since 8.0 went end of life. The image also could not build at all: the frontend
stage never copied the plugin staging script it runs.
Adds a topology migration guide covering IIS to Docker and back.
Flask + Vue rewrite of the classic-ASP shopdb, built as a plugin
framework so sister GE Aerospace sites can adopt it. Product version
