These are the detailed release notes for the parts of MarvelClient that live in databases, such as the Config DB and the Analyze DB.


For a high-level overview of all changes, please take a look the main document for this release: MarvelClient 14.5



Releases in reverse chronological order:



Release 2026-03-16 - 20260316140700 

Config DB - General

NEW

New MarvelClient Roaming Wizard – allows you to configure your entire Roaming setup from a single document, dramatically reducing setup and maintenance effort, and removing the need to hand-build and hand-maintain individual Roaming Actions.

Available in the view General → Roaming Wizards, this single configuration document drives the complete Roaming experience, configured across clearly structured tabs:  

  • Source/Target – enable Windows, Mac and Nomad, and define each platform's source/target directory and create/overwrite behaviour 
  • Scope – Personal Address Book (replicate or zip), Notebook, user dictionary, Eclipse workspace metadata, Sametime palettes, *.id file backup/roaming, automatic backup cleanup, plus dedicated Nomad scope 
  • Extended (Windows/Mac) – unread marks, last selected view / search bar / print settings, custom toolbars, homepage layouts, column orders, image resources and bookmark history, with a configurable minimum Notes client version 
  • Unroaming – cleanly unroam existing IBM/HCL roaming users 
  • User Experience – shutdown progress bar and MCShutdown.exe handling to safeguard the backup at client shutdown 

Make a change at any time in the Wizard, then run "(Re)Publish Roaming Configuration" – all underlying Actions are created or updated automatically to match.

ENHANCEMENTWhen a database icon image is imported into an Application/Mailfile action, it is now resized to a maximum of 64x64 pixels and a maximum base64 encoded size of 10k characters
FIXFixed a problem where using the button on a Mailbased Install email didn't work on MacOS
FIXFixed a problem in the Mailbased Install code where if you initially used an explicit servername to point to the MarvelClient Config DB, and you change it to use the user's homeserver instead, the script would still try to use the original explicit servername
FIXFixed a problem where the Mailbased Install PostOpen script doesn't contain a pmc64.dll reference if pmc dlls are used
FIXFixed a problem where the runtype selection was broken for the action Advanced\Refresh User Info
FIXFixed a problem where the +/- buttons in JFD. File Deployment Actions did not work

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

FIX
Fixed language issues in the MCUpgrade Config Wizard: French language file was broken, added Polish language

Analyze DB

FIX

Fixed an error "TypeError: e is undefined" that appeared in the Notes client statusbar when a stacked column on the Charts page was clicked.

FIX

After clicking a stacked column on the Charts page to go to a page with the stacked values separated into individual columns, clicking on an individual column will now open the view corresponding to the data instead of bringing you back to the stacked column chart. You can still use the "back to..." button at the top right of the individual column chart to return to the stacked chart.


Release 2025-12-08 - 20251208170400 

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

NEW
Added a new optional background agent (MarvelClient Upgrade: Process Unprocessed) to automatically process any unprocessed upgrade tracking emails on a scheduled basis. Default schedule is daily at 4 am, but can be adjusted to any schedule of choice (e.g., hourly)
FIX / ENHANCEMENT
MCUpgrade security resource documents now also include role [Server] in the readers field. The additional role is automatically added to newly created documents and when re-saving existing documents. In line with this enhancement, make sure that Administrators do not have role [Server], but servers only.
FIX
Added the following notes.ini entries to the example notes.ini filter for roaming, to ensure that SmartUpgrade context is not roamed onto other machines:
SU_IN_PROGRESS, SU_NEXT_UPDATE, SU_DELAY_DAYS, SU_FILE_CLEANUP, SUT_NEXT_UPDATE
Customers using SmartUpgrade are advised to also add the above entries to their existing notes.ini roaming filters.
CHANGEThe default state to add CITRIX=1 to install instructions is now disabled for new upgrade configurations

Analyze DB

ENHANCEMENT

The DXLExport agent now sets <mc:mc_exporter_db_filename> to name of file used for export for recommended use in backup actions as follows:

  • Set source filename to
<mc:mc_exporter_db_filename=mc_exporter.nsf>
  • Disable "Keep source filename"
  • Specify the target filename as "mc_exporter.nsf"

Roaming actions can then simply reference mc_exporter.nsf, as backup actions adjusted in line with the above will always zip mc_exporter.ns7/ns9/nsf into mc_exporter.nsf.zip.

ENHANCEMENTThe DXLExport agent now also support bmroam_ODS52 and bmroam_ODS43 - either overrides bmroam_no_ODS43, and bmroam_ODS52 overrides bmroam_ODS43.
NOTE: there is no setting bmroam_no_ODS52
ENHANCEMENTThe DXLImport agent now also supports importing mc_exporter.ns9 (ODS52)
CHANGEThe version number of the DXLExport and DXLImport agent have been updated to 14.5.0
FIXFixed a problem in the DXLExport agent that could cause old servers to still show up in the Open Replica list of a database icon after a mass change action runs
FIXFixed an error in the Analyze Cleanup agent: Field is too large (32K) or View's column & selection formulas are too large


Release 2025-09-08 - 20250908145200 

Config DB - General

NEWNew action (Nomad → N1.6. User Dictionary) to add or remove specific words or phrases in the local user spellcheck dictionary on Nomad Web. Requires Nomad Web version 1.0.17 or higher, and a MarvelClient Manage license.
FIXFixed a problem where Generic actions would not save properly when edited using Nomad Web (NOTE: Windows is currently the only supported platform for creating/modifying actions in the MarvelClient Config DB).


Release 2025-08-19 - 20250819094700 

Config DB - General

NEWNew action (Advanced → CMVS. Mail View Settings) to globally enable or disable the "Group By Date" option in a user's mail file. This changes both the default setting for newly opened folders/views, and also the behavior of folders/views that have already been opened. Requires MarvelClient binary version 14.5.5 or higher.


Release 2025-07-17 - 20250717134800 

Config DB - General

FIXFixed a problem on the Online Update page where the release notes link for MarvelClient 14.5 Win64 binaries pointed to the 14.0 release notes page

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

FIX
Fixed an issue introduced in Template 20250604 where installing ConnectionsPlugins (or .zip files in general) stopped working. The install instruction no longer added setup.exe for .zip file installation components, leading to an attempt to execute a folder, instead of the executable from within the zip file. When upgrading as SYSTEM, this also caused the UpgradeDirectory folder to inherit the DACL of the safe folder location, leading it to be inaccessible by end users.
FIX
Fixed an issue where indexing installers failed for Notes 14.5 Language/MUI Packs and Cascaded Installers
ENHANCEMENT
Updated nice.exe to 12.0.2 and nice64.exe to 14.5.0


Release 2025-06-04 - 20250604101000 

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

NEW
Added a new option to MCUpgrade Configurations on the Data Migration tab, allowing to configure duplicate plugin cleanup
FIX
Fixed an issue where custom static progress labels were ignored (instead both static labels always had the same value as progress bar title)
FIX
Fixed an issue where publishing an Upgrade unnecessarily asked whether files should be copied even if latest publishing is enabled (in which case all files are always copied to the publish folder as a prerequisite for distribution to the latest folder and change documentation)
FIX

Fixed an issue where the default values in the field "Old Notes Data Exclude(s)" on the Data Migration tab were missing backslashes (
network:workspacelogs* instead of network:workspace\logs* and network:(IBM|HCL)_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT* instead of network:(IBM|HCL)_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT*.

Note: The (IBM|HCL)_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT* exclude require MarvelClient Upgrade >= 14.5 - alternatively, you can split it in two excludes IBM_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT* and HCL_TECHNICAL_SUPPORT*. Also note that existing upgrade configurations will automatically fix the wrong values when re-saving or re-publishing.

FIX

Fixed an issue where install instructions with custom install folders were computed wrong for cascaded installers - values were passed with ~...\ instead of \"...\". Since MarvelClient Upgrade unzips the cascaded installer automatically, the encapsulation of arguments using ~...\ is wrong.

FIX

Fixed a MarvelClient Upgrade Configuration issue where install instructions were updated and validated in the middle of publishing and not always picked up if changed. Install Instructions are now validated and updated very early when previewing and publishing.

Analyze DB

NEW

Added the ability to create custom charts in the Analyze DB using notes.ini entries of the format:

MC_AnalyzeCustomChart#=My Custom View|view_name_or_alias^2^Chart Title

where MC_AnalyzeCustomChart can have a suffix of 0-99 (i.e. MC_AnalyzeCustomChart0, MC_AnalyzeCustomChart1, etc.), and the entries are added in order. The required elements of the string above are:

exampledescription
My Custom ViewThe name of the chart, as displayed in the drop down list of available charts
view_name_or_aliasThe name or alias of the view that contains the chart data
2Number of categories to display, the only options are 1 = top category only and 2 = top category and subcategory (there is no 3, 4, etc.)
Chart TitleThe title of the chart, displayed in bold letters above the chart
