Config DB - General

NEW

The Devices and Platform selector now supports the selection of Nomad Web. The selector for Linux has been removed.

Except for Location and Connection actions, any existing non-restricted action will automatically run on HCL Nomad Web, too.

Any existing Location and Connection actions, and any existing actions that are restricted to any number of devices and/or platforms, must be specifically edited and enabled for Nomad Web.

NOTE: You are advised to not enable existing Location and Connection actions for Nomad Web, but to create new, dedicated actions for Nomad Web. The simple reason is that Nomad Web requires the WSS port, whereas rich clients usually make use of the TCP(IP) port. See below for details regarding the new Nomad Location action.

NEW

A new "Nomad Location" action is now available. This should be used for management of the Location document on Nomad clients instead of the standard Location action.

Note that existing Location actions will not run on the latest Nomad client builds unless you explicitly resave them and specify the Nomad clients they should run on. We strongly encourage you to use the new Nomad Location action instead of activating old Location actions for Nomad.

NEW/CHANGE

Nomad App Restrictions also run on Nomad Web.

The Nomad Web platform only supports a specific subset of App Restrictions. The action form in the Config DB has icons that indicate which App Restrictions are available on the different Nomad platforms.

ENHANCEMENTAdded a high resolution database icon for Notes 12.0.1.
FIXOn the Location document, 'Type-ahead shows server contacts before local' now properly shows the setting in read mode.
FIXFixed an "image cannot be found" error that could happen on Workspace Background action forms.
FIXFixed a problem where high color icons could be missing in the DesktopIcon action.
FIXFixed a "CollectionScheduledAgents" error that could occur in specific versions of Online Update.
FIXAdded a few missing Dutch translation strings.

Config DB - General

FIXThe desktop icon (application/mailfile) action now properly removes an associated bookmark action after selecting and later de-selecting a bookmark action template on the Bookmark tab.
FIX

The config file XSLT document did not include config_user_* values for GreenLight customers.

ENHANCEMENTCustomers can now also choose the WSS port in Connection actions.

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

FIXFixed an issue where excluding Admin&|Designer clients did not work due to a wrongly computed condition.
ENHANCEMENT

When downloading the MCUpgradeService files from the upgrade config wizard (Elevation tab with Service type upgrade selected), customers had to merge their public key file into the zip file manually.
Downloading now prompts for a public key file and merges it into the resulting zip file automatically.

ENHANCEMENTAdded CREATE_R12_Databases to coptim notes.ini

FIXFixed the Spanish translation for ProgressSuffix
FIXFixed a problem where the whitelist parameters from the wizard might not be published properly if they weren't in quotes

Analyze DB

ENHANCEMENT / FIX

Workaround for a problem where the Audit agent would not fully process large batches of upload documents, but it would set all the upload documents to processed anyway. This is due to a Java bug specific to Domino 11.0.1FP3 and Domino 12. Some details are in this HCL technote: https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=a614d6191bf0f010a67e9759bc4bcbe6 

ENHANCEMENTIf the Audit agent fails to process files correctly, the log now has better information about which files failed to process and why
CHANGEThe config.xsl file will now clear the notes_userdetails_mailfile_local_is_managed_replica field if it hasn't been set by the config.xml file in an upload document, for more accurate reporting on clients with and without managed mail replicas
FIXFixed the computed link to the Config database in the navigator, if the Analyze database is from a MarvelClient Essentials install
FIXFixed a potential "Error 165 External function not found" when using the "Run Cleanup/Automailer once now" button on the Cleanup document

Config DB - General

ENHANCEMENTNew section in the Sametime Autostatus action form for meetings found in calendar. Requires Plugin version 12.0.0 or higher.
ENHANCEMENT / FIX

Better calculation of release notes links for new dlls, plugins, and templates downloaded by OnlineUpdate (some of the new MC 12 links were being calculated incorrectly).

FIXFixed a problem where setting all fields in a Location action to "only if new" still left a few fields set to "always". This didn't cause any reported problems, but it shouldn't have happened.

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

ENHANCEMENTMCUpgrade now supports 64-bit installers.
ENHANCEMENTAdded a confirmation prompt if someone tries to delete an upgrade configuration.
FIXFixed a problem where MCUpgrade emails were sometimes delivered in a different order than expected.
FIXFixed a problem where the Upgrade Config Wizard could fail silently if there are multiple installers with the same name.

Analyze DB

ENHANCEMENT / FIX

Better processing of documents in the Cleanup handler, to avoid problems where usernames have been modified by the Admin process. This includes:

  • new option to remove documents that have been renamed by the Admin process and now have obsolete upload keys
  • new option to remove documents that are not the latest version of Notes on that computer (i.e. if there are multiple upload documents for a single machine representing multiple Notes client versions, only keep the upload document for the highest version found)
  • fixed a problem where Cleanup didn't work properly for users who had multiple shortnames defined
FIXBetter logging for situations where the Audit agent fails to process an upload document because it has missing required fields.
