IMPORTANT NOTES | This release contains select important updates highlighted in red |
Configuration Database | |
ENHANCEMENT | The "Files\JBAK. Backup/Monitoring" action has been enhanced to support regular expressions: This enables customers to also exclude certain files - the following example would include all files except for *.dll, *.jvm and example.properties: ^.*(?<!\.(dll|jvm)$)(?<!example\.properties$)$ |
FIXENHANCEMENT | The "Objects\A3.2. Desktop Icon & Replica" action has been enhanced to optionally also delete a physical local replica along with restrict/exclude on the "Who" tab: |
Analyze Database | |
CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT | Together with DLL update 2.5.17 (see below for details), the analyze database has been changed / enhanced to also display optional VM detection details. The following screenshot shows how the view may change for customers without VM detection details: Note that customers with a DLL < 1.10.13 will see former "(Citrix)" display changed to "(probably Citrix - update DLL)". DLLs > 1.10.13 will now only show Citrix if a.) Citrix was detected AND b.) the client does not have any INBOUND logon sessions (e.g. inbound remote / screen sharing session). In case optional VM detection is used (see 2.5.17 DLL update details below), "[VMware]" or "[Windows Virtual PC]" are appended to any of the above categories. |
ENHANCEMENT | Added a new view "Local Databases\by Type" to determine whether local databases are a managed replica or not. Note: This new feature requires a.) updated XSL(T) documents in the view "Advanced\XSLT. Configuration" - these are applied during a normal Online Update. b.) re-auditing local database details - to accomplish this, do the following: b1.) open the view "Local Databases\by Type", select all documents, and then choose "M. Reset Checksum" from the Notes client Actions menu b2.) then, open the view "Users\by Notes-Name", select all document, and then choose "M. Remove Updated Field <> 0" from the Actions menu b3.) lastly, audit all user profiles, either manually or by waiting for the scheduled Audit agent to do the work |
.DLL Updates (Windows) | |
FIX (2.5.16) | Fixed a problem with Roaming: if the backup key changed but the converted key would not (e.g. when changing %COMPUTER% to %COMPUTER%, backup sets were not updated any more leading to corresponding roaming problems |
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.15) | Added optional support for ID Vault: By setting MC_SupportIDVault=1 in notes.ini, MarvelClient can now pull a user's id file from the vault if ALL of the following notes.ini entries are set: 1.) MC_AllowSyncDuringSetup=2 2.) KeyFileName, KeyFileName_Owner, MailServer - if any of these (2.)) settings are missing they will be obtained from (the) ConfigFile (if applicable) using the entries Username, KeyFileName, and Domino.Name NOTE: You MUST make sure that all of the above notes.ini/ConfigFile entries are set properly! You are also advised to test this first before putting it in production. |
ENHANCEMENT (2.5.17) | MarvelClient can now optionally detect whether a NotesClient is running from inside VMWare or Windows Virtual PC by using <os:virtual_machine> or <os:virtual_machine_type> from e.g. within conditions: |
