Release 2022-07-01 - 20220701145300 
Config DB - General | |
|---|---|
| NEW | Beginning with HCL Nomad Web 1.0.4, MarvelClient has Restrict functionality available for the Nomad Web platform, for customers with a valid Realtime license. This allows you to prevent Nomad Web users from accessing, replicating, or deleting specific databases either locally or on a server. The most common use-case is if you have databases on your server that you don't want Nomad Web users to open (maybe because they use Java or clientside XPages), you can easily prevent them from being used by Nomad Web users with a simple MarvelClient action. |
| NEW | Beginning with HCL Nomad Web 1.0.4, select MarvelClient actions can run in the background after the client has started. This can be used to optimize the startup time for Nomad Web, potentially reducing the amount of time between when a user logs in and when their workspace is ready to use. |
| CHANGE | Added a warning to the Application/Mailfile action that "remaining free space" is not supported on Nomad Web |
| CHANGE | Removed the Bookmark option for the Recent Apps action |

| FIX | Fixed a problem where the action condition regex could be incorrect if only some platforms were selected, and the selection included Nomad Web |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where the action condition regex could become incorrect if only Nomad platforms were selected, and you used the En/Disable menu in the actions view to toggle the enabled or disabled state of the action |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where the Recent Apps options were not available on the Application/Mailfile action if Nomad Web was the only platform selected |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where a local mail database could incorrectly display that it was open on the server the first time the PostOpen install script ran |
| FIX | The "Modify Device & Platform" agent now includes Nomad Web as a selectable option |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where the Smart File Downloader action did not display properly when Japanese language was selected |

| FIX | Fixed a problem where the mail server specified in the "When" field of the MCUpgrade Wizard was not transferred to the resulting actions created by the wizard. |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where ExtMgr_Addins might not be updated properly by the MarvelClient install scripts if a Notes 12 client is automatically provisioned with pmc.dll using the Domino Directory profile option to auto-install MarvelClient. |
Analyze DB | |
|---|---|
| ENHANCEMENT | Users that have been assigned the ACL role [DoNotOpenThisDB] will see the message "You are not allowed to access this database" when they attempt to open the Analyze DB in the Notes client UI, and the database will automatically close. |

| CHANGE | Enhanced roaming DXLExport/Import now restricts the number of URL documents that are roamed to bookmark.nsf. |

| CHANGE / FIX | The Cleanup action now tries to keep at least one desktop backup and one backup for each backup key, if they are within the "outdated" time frame. Previously the cleanup was based only on username and backup date. |

Release 2021-09-16 - 20210916084300 
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. |
| ENHANCEMENT | Added a high resolution database icon for Notes 12.0.1. |
| FIX | On the Location document, 'Type-ahead shows server contacts before local' now properly shows the setting in read mode. |
| FIX | Fixed an "image cannot be found" error that could happen on Workspace Background action forms. |
| FIX | Fixed a problem where high color icons could be missing in the DesktopIcon action. |
| FIX | Fixed a "CollectionScheduledAgents" error that could occur in specific versions of Online Update. |
| FIX | Added a few missing Dutch translation strings. |
Release 2021-08-16 - 20210816160000

Release 2021-08-06 - 20210806114200

|---|---|

| FIX | The config file XSLT document did not include config_user_* values for GreenLight customers. |
| ENHANCEMENT | Customers can now also choose the WSS port in Connection actions. |

|---|---|
| FIX | Fixed 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. |
Release 2021-07-12 - 20210708163400
Config DB - General | |
|---|---|
| ENHANCEMENT | New languages available! Our templates now have translations for these additional languages:
After you run OnlineUpdate to upgrade to the latest template, you can close and reopen the database and run OnlineUpdate again to download one, some, or all of the new languages. |
| ENHANCEMENT | Location and Connection actions are now disabled for Nomad platforms by default. This also applies to existing actions. Administrators can manually override this, but be aware that some Location and Connection settings can be harmful to your Nomad clients. |
| CHANGE | Location action now has a WSS port option for Nomad/SafeLinx support, and the legacy TCP port has been removed (the TCPIP port is still available, of course). |
Config DB - MC Upgrade UI | |
|---|---|

|
| ENHANCEMENT | Added CREATE_R12_Databases to coptim notes.ini |
| ENHANCEMENT | Updated nice.exe for Notes 12 |
| ENHANCEMENT | Upgrade packages are now published to publish\packagename (instead of just the publish folder) to make sure older packages don't get overwritten, and to make sure packages are easier to identify |
| ENHANCEMENT | The MCUpgradeService executable and DLL files available for download from the config database have been updated with an EV certificate |
| FIX | Fixed the Spanish translation for ProgressSuffix |
| FIX | Fixed 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 |
| ENHANCEMENT | If the Audit agent fails to process files correctly, the log now has better information about which files failed to process and why |

| FIX | Fixed the computed link to the Config database in the navigator, if the Analyze database is from a MarvelClient Essentials install |
| FIX | Fixed a potential "Error 165 External function not found" when using the "Run Cleanup/Automailer once now" button on the Cleanup document |

| 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). |
| FIX | Fixed 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 | |
|---|---|
| ENHANCEMENT | MCUpgrade now supports 64-bit installers. |
| ENHANCEMENT | Added a confirmation prompt if someone tries to delete an upgrade configuration. |
