MarvelClient Everywhere

As with HCL Notes/Domino 10, 11 and 12, MarvelClient is also included in V14:

  • MarvelClient Essentials is included with all Windows and Mac clients, there's nothing you have to install!
  • MarvelClient is included with all versions of HCL Nomad: iOS, Android, and Web
  • The MarvelClient template installer can be found on the Domino server

And just like Domino 12, your Domino 14 server has MarvelClient Essentials activation built-in to the Domino Directory. Go to the new MarvelClient view in the Directory and activate MC Essentials on all your Notes 12 clients by simply creating a few documents and flipping a switch in the Directory Profile. No client configuration required! See About MarvelClient and Notes/Domino >= V12 for details.


What's new?

An overview of some of the more prominent changes; for more in-depth information consult the other sections further down, especially the detailed release notes.


Windows 64-Bit Client Support

HCL released the Windows 64-bit Notes client starting with version 12.0.2, and with Notes 14 your only choice for Notes clients on Windows is 64-bit. MarvelClient Essentials was bundled with that release, and the full MarvelClient binary is ready to work with 64-bit clients from day one. We have also overhauled the Config and Analyze templates to fully support 64-bit API calls. For more information, please see MarvelClient Support for HCL Notes 64-Bit Windows Clients.


Background Replication Now Supported

Creating new local replicas of databases at startup is now even easier. In previous versions of MarvelClient, you were required to create a "stub" replica and enable replication at startup to create local replicas. Starting with MarvelClient 14, we added an option to tie in to the standard Notes replication process to trigger the creation+replication directly in the background, just like the Notes client does.


Update Your User's Mail Templates When You Update The Client

MarvelClient now offers two ways to automate replacing the design of a user’s mail database if the mail template version is not up to date:

  1. With MarvelClient Upgrade you can initiate replacing the design of the user’s mail database immediately after a Notes client is upgraded, using the "success" email generated by the upgrade process.
  2. Based on user data (Notes version and current mail template name) in the MarvelClient Analyze database, you can replace the design of a user’s mail database using a scheduled agent.

This can be useful for updating a user's mail template to the latest version after the Notes client is upgraded to a new client version. It can also be used to deploy a customized mail template to specific users.





Attention - Action Required

These are changes that might require you to pay attention, and/or do something after updating to this version.

You'll find all these in the detailed release notes as well.


HCL Notes 14 support

MarvelClient versions older than 14 will not work on Notes 14, so make sure to update MarvelClient before upgrading Notes.
