MarvelClient Help | |
| UPDATE | Updated release notes |
MarvelClient Upgrade | |
| GENERAL NOTES | Unless otherwise instructed or confirmed by panagenda, please ensure that all MCUpgrade components have the same version number |
| SURunAs.au3 (5.3.2) | Added option to use InstallFailedText/Exec and InstallFinishedText/Exec params for different execution paths at end of installation via: InstallFailedText, InstallFailedExec, InstallFailedCMD - used in case one or more errors occured InstallFinishedText, InstallFinishedExec, InstallFinishedCMD - used in case no errors occured. |
| SURunAs.au3 (5.3.3) | Fix for 5.3.2: Moved option to use InstallFailedText/Exec and InstallFinishedText/Exec params for different execution paths at end of installation to MCUpgrade.exe as SuRunAs executed them with user credentials instead of Admin. |
| SURunAs.au3 (5.3.3) | Removed all #pragma statements from SuRuAs source due to compile issues with newer versions of AutoIt/SCITE |
| SURunAs.au3 (5.4.0) | Added support for ini:NotesDataDirectoryOldExclude when calling MCDeltaCopy.exe |
| SURunAs.au3 (5.4.0) | Remapping now unmaps a drive before mapping it - if the mapped drive is already mapped to the desired share remapping is skipped |
| SURunAs.au3 (5.4.0) | The whole html log file is now also written to the same path as $MC_UPGRADELOGFILE.html for easier reading of the results at the end of an upgrade |
| MCUpgrade (5.3.3) | Fix for 5.3.2: Moved option to use InstallFailedText/Exec and InstallFinishedText/Exec params for different execution paths at end of installation to MCUpgrade.exe as SuRunAs executed them with user credentials instead of Admin. |
| MCUpgrade (5.3.4) | Fixed an issue where removedirectory was reported to have failed although it worked just fine |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Hardened ProcessClose to also work in case WMI fails (WMI approach also searches for parent processes) |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Improved scanning and sorting of large directories |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Multiuser directory is now no longer case sensitive |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added option to exclude files from copy/move process for old/new data and shared directory NotesDataDirectoryOldExclude and MultiUserSharedDataOldExclude e.g., NotesDataDirectoryOldExclude=*.ntf|*.log|as_*.nsf|*.dsk|cache.ndk |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added option to specify NotesDataDirectoryOldExcludeAction and MultiUserSharedDataOldExcludeAction; defaults to DELETE, can be set to DEL, DELETE (default) or SKIP |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added copying over of mc.dll from NotesProgramDirectoryOld to MCUpgrade directory (if not there yet) to then copy over into SharedData\Common (if applicable): New ini entry NotesProgramDirectoryOldCopy, defaults to "mc.dll" without quotes and copies anything matching the specified regexp relative(!) to notesprogram dir to CopyToProgramNew IF a file doesn't already exist therein. Supports wildcard, multiple entries seperated with | For Regexp (much for powerful, e.g., for excludes etc.) set NotesProgramDirectoryOldCopyRegExp=1 Also added support of the following new optional directories in MCUpgrade dir: CopyToProgramNew - Any files copied from this directory to ini:NotesProgramDirectoryNew are skipped if they already exist in either NotesDataDirectoryNew or MultiUserSharedDataNew\Common - this means it's a good idea to ALSO set MultiUserSharedDataNew when doing a migration from (whatever) to multiuser CopyToMultiUserSharedDataNew (this is in fact not the \shared dir, but one level up!) For any files in CopyToProgramNew and CopyToMultiUserSharedDataNew: Any files OTHER than *.txt, *.properties and *.ini will ONLY be copied if they do NOT already exist *.txt, *.ini and *.properties are MERGED into the target, if they are of the same type. Same type meaning both files do not have any sections, or both files have one or multiple sections. Merging meaning that missing entries are merged into target AND existing entries with different values across source and target are updated! |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added option to also restart services at end of upgrade via StartService001-999 |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Improved new MCIniMerge functionality to also perform updates, not only merge/add |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Improved multipath license check, also added new MCUpgrade.ini option to specify full(!) path to old notes.ini via NotesIniFileOld, e.g., set to <notes:notes_ini_path> via config db |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added display of "Licensed to " Customer Name according to license, can be disabled by setting ini:LicensingLabelHide=1 |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Improved logging for ini merge component |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added parsing of old notes.ini file (NotesIniFileOld) for EXTMGR_ADDINS, NSF_HOOKS and AddinMenus - any relative entries are added to NotesProgramDirectoryOldCopy pattern list |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added NotesIniFileOldExclude, defaults to [Directory|SharedDataDirectory|NotesProgram|Cache|KitType|InstallMode|InstallType|AUTO_SAVE_USER*|DYNINFOCR_*|NewMailSeqNum*|UseBasicNotes|ENABLE_EARLY_AUTHENTICATION|MC_LastActionUpdate|MC_LastBackupDate] |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added NotesIniFileOldExcludeRegExp, defaults to not set |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added NotesProgramDirectoryOldCopyRegExp, defaults to not set - see above 2016-07-15 |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added NotesDataDirectoryOldExcludeRegExp and MultiUserSharedDataOldExcludeRegExp |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added NotesIniFileOldAutoDetect, defaults to 1, set to 0 to disable auto-detection - it is advisable to nevertheless always set NotesIniFileOld via config db (think shortcuts to ini file outside data/program dir ...) |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Fixed an issue where changing multiuser notes.ini files first processed program dir replacements before data using StringInString, hence c:\lotus\notes was replaced before c:\lotus\notes\data, for example - this most probably never was an issue because in a multiuser scenario, Notes data would not be underneath Notes program |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Also added change of notes.ini entries for single to multiuser |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added "roaming" of all notes.ini files for multiuser installs |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Added "roaming" for single user to single user upgrade (root notes.ini is then in program directory after install) |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.0) | Ensured that notes.ini is also roams in conjunction with DeltaCopyNotesDataIfOnNWDrive=1 NOTE: if DeltaCopyNotesDataIfOnNWDrive=1 is used, then only the upgrading user's respective network drive is migrated. Other user's network drives who would log into notes on an already upgraded machine would naturally not be migrated ... This is a definite case for MC Roaming and MCBatch. |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.1) | Fixed an issue with Process Termination, where a no longer existing process could be reported as failed to terminate on rare occasions |
| MCUpgrade (5.4.2) | Ensured that the iniexclude filter is computed whenever source and target directory are specified in MCUpgrade.ini |
| MCShutdown (5.4.1) | Hardened and improved closing of processes |
| MCUpgradeProgress (5.3.3) | Ensured that the splash screen is not displayed centered but +200 pixels for both x and y coordinates in case messageboxes are displayed at any point in time. |
| MCUpgradeProgress (5.4.2) | Ensured that the splash screen also renders properly with 16 bit color depth; transparency color is now 00FF00 = green, just like in movies ;-) Includes change of top label above pbars from bold to normal to remove ugly shadow |
| MCDeltaCopy (5.4.0) | Added support for ini:NotesDataDirectoryOldExclude |
Eclipse Plugin | |
| MC Eclipse Plugin (2.9.2) | Improved the approach used by the Startup Tabs action so closing the Replicator Tab works better. |
| MC Eclipse Plugin (2.9.2) | Added support for SAML authentication in the Sametime Community action. |
.DLL Updates (Windows) | |
| FIX (5.0.9) | Fixed a bug in zip where zipping of whole folders did not work any more for drag&drop. |
| FIX (5.0.10) | Fixed the log message for user name change (it was displaying the same user as before and after). |
| FIX (5.0.10) | Fixed a bug where in some cases relocation actions would not be evaluated. |
| FIX (5.0.10) | Fixed a bug in zip where disallowing the user to select encryption strength did not work. |
| FIX (5.0.11) | Fixed a bug where the ID-File action didn't work properly for Notes releases < 9. |
| FIX (5.0.12) | Added a fixed for situations where <ini:PromptForLocation> is turned on in combination with SSO. In that scenario, if the location switch lead to an user ID switch as well, MarvelClient would synchronize with the old user ID. Set <ini:MC_SSO_ForceSwitch> to 1 to enable this fix. |
| FIX (5.0.12) | Fixed a bug in Smart File Download actions where a whole file checksum that started with a slash caused the action not to work. |
| FIX (5.0.12) | Fixed several minor UI issues regarding encryption options in Zip dialogs. |
| FIX / CHANGE (5.0.9) | The zip/encryption dialog will no longer be shown if all files are excluded from zipping or blocked. |
| FIX / CHANGE (5.0.12) | The shutdown progress bar now works better with high DPI resolutions. |
| CHANGE / ENHANCEMENT (5.0.12) | The list of lookup servers for namelookup has been extended by <notes:location_mail_server> and <ini:MailServer>. This has been done to reduce the likelihood of the lookup to fail, especially during initial starts or on misconfigured clients. The list of servers for the namelookup now is created from the following sources (in order): <mc:userdetails_lookup_server_override> <mc:configdb_server> <notes:um_server> <notes:homeserver> <notes:location_mail_server> <ini:MailServer> <mc:userdetails_lookup_server_fallback> A server is of course only tried once, no matter how often it is in the list. As soon as the lookup works, no other server is tried. Additionally, if above list is empty, also try to find a server from the <mc:configdb_fb_*> variables and do the lookup there. |
| ENHANCEMENT / NEW (5.0.11) | The replica scanner now can be disabled entirely by setting <mc:db_scan_disable> to 1. |
| ENHANCEMENT / NEW (5.0.11) | The exclude filters for the replica scanner can now be customized. <mc:db_scan_exclude_fullpath> ... must be a regular expression - all folders whose absolute paths match will be excluded from scan <mc:db_scan_exclude_name> ... must be a regular expression - all folders whose name match will be excluded from scan |
