Quest® Archive Manager
Version 4.0.5
Release Notes
August 2008
Quest® Archive Manager is an archiving and management solution that enables
email and file data to become a true asset for the organization by capturing,
indexing, and storing it for mailbox management, compliance, and knowledge
sharing.
Archive Manager 4.0.5 includes the following new features:
The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Archive Manager.
| CR 54688 | When an HTML body message sent in GroupWise containing the £ character is viewed in Archive Manager, the Red Shield was displayed, but not the £. The £ is now displayed, and the Green Shield is displayed if the message is compliant . |
| CR 31832 | An image embedded within a message is now displayed inline in the Archive Manager web site. |
| CR 40865 | Inline images in particular messages now display correctly in the Archive Manager web interface. |
| CR 47334 | The Archive Manager web service now removes all javascript from any email displayed in a web browser, to permit opening of the email in Archive Manager and also to preclude the possibility of a malicious cross-site scripting attack. |
| CR 49793 | The SQL script has been updated so that the reindex function will no longer try to insert Null in AttachmentToIndex. |
| CR 51111 | For email arriving in Exchange 2007 with envelope journaling, the journal now reports with a MAPI message rather than an attached .eml file. |
| CR 49832 | The Archive Manager web site now loads much more quickly, even when a user's mailbox contains thousands of folders. |
| CR 54428 | The 4.1.2 database upgrade script now creates a non-unique index on the checksum column in the Exclusion table, which prevents duplicate checksum values in the column in an environment where exclusion rules have already been applied. |
| CR 52854 | A stubbed message with an embedded OLE object, opened in the Outlook Form, now appears with the OLE object in the message body rather than replaced by an attachment with the .ole extension. |
| CR 53619 | Messages with embedded OLE objects that were reconstructed in the Outlook Form can now be restripped. In some cases this requires the configuration setting Exchange Store Manager Force Strip to be set to a value of True. |
| CR 55607 | A saved search that includes a date range no longer loses the date range when the search is recalled. |
| CR 16388 | The Print button in an open message in Archive Manager, viewed in FireFox 1.5.0.x or 2.0.x, now prints correctly. |
| CR 15657 |
The page size of a user's search screen can now be increased beyond the actual screen size, and a scroll bar will appear to permit scrolling up and down through the overall list. To specify a new page size (number of lines to display):
|
| CR 43959 | ASCII control codes in attachment filenames no longer cause "invalid character" errors. |
| CR 39470 | The GSM no longer returns a "filter" error when there are no messages to process from a GroupWise mailbox. |
| CR 47455 | The Exchange utility.exe now correctly updates all messages when run to update URLs. |
| CR 51536 | Message Tag lists are now sorted alphabetically rather than chronologically. |
| CR 57600 | ESMWorker.exe exits if it encounters a non-delivery report without a Sent header. The ESMWorker.exe no longer exits if it encounters a non-delivery report with a missing Sent header. |
| CR 55325 | When a policy is applied to a specific folder, such as the Deleted Items folder, it is applied to all folders processed after that folder when no other higher-level policies are in place. This issue with the Exchange Store Manager has been fixed. |
| CR 53283 | ESM workers are no longer stalled by a buildup of locks created by other ESM worker processes. |
| CR 25577 | The ESM service now will retry to import messages that could not be processed in a previous run due to MAPI errors. |
| CR 53680 | A code enhancement has eliminated a rare ESM checksum error that prevented a delete policy or strip policy from acting on a message with a non-US-ASCII character in the Subject. |
| CR 57298 | The Offline Client generates the following error when synchronizing to attachments stored in TSM: “The sequence of calls in invalid.” The cause of this error has been fixed. |
|
CR 53712 CR 53713 CR 53714 CR 53715 | Improved handling when processing messages with corrupt Office attachments. |
| CR 50329 | The data loader now checks for sufficient disk space before trying to create compliance XML files. |
| CR 57297 | The Full Text Index Service generated the following error message after approximately an hour of indexing attachments from TSM: “Session Rejected. All server sessions are currently in use.” The cause of this error has been fixed. |
| CR 57309 | FTI indexing attachment from EMC Centera is causing a buildup of temp files. Temp files are now cleaned up. |
| CR 54150 | The Full Text Index Service no longer times-out when processing Excel file attachments it cannot fully parse. In such cases the attachments now are indexed up to the point in the file where the error occurs. |
| CR 54365 | The Full Text Index Service performance in reindexing attachments has been significantly improved. |
| CR 31690 | The Outlook Form now correctly reconstructs messages that contain images in the body. |
| CR 46733 | The Outlook form now correctly reconstructs messages in an Exchange environment that supports only plain text. |
| CR 43498 | The Offline Client Outlook form no longer causes an Outlook crash due to inconsistent version numbers when the form has been upgraded from an earlier version. |
| CR 56849 |
Improved process methods have significantly improved the accuracy and performance of date-range searches. Two particularly noteworthy changes:
|
| CR 47352 | Architectural and code refinements have significantly improved the performance of the Archive Manager Search Exporter. | ||||
| CR 53798 | The Search Exporter no longer leaks resources during an export to a pst file. | ||||
| CR 56878 | The Search Exporter now exports already-run search results directly to a PST file, rather than repeating the search as part of the export process. | ||||
| CR 56872 |
Two aspects of Search Exporter runs can now be configured by an admin to suit the organization's needs. These parameters are configured per user, on the client workstation, in:
|
| CR 56018 | The web service now correctly detects the Blackberry browser and correctly directs users to the Archive Manager User web site for mobile users. |
| CR 51365 | The Setup program no longer generates an error in the Tivoli store setup. |
The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this Archive Manager 4.0.5 release:
| CR 32006 | Archive Manager Services should be stopped prior to upgrade. This has the potential to reduce upgrade times. |
| CR 35828 | When a strip policy is applied to a user mailbox and a message is modified after Export to Archive Manager but before it is stripped, data may be lost when the message is stripped, as the stubbing shell may be linked to the original message. |
| CR 48446 | When applying a Strip Policy with the "Delete Message Shells" option, this actually applies a delete policy. It applies to all messages of the specified age, whether or not they are stubbed. |
| CR 48703 | Program Event logs fail to note an error if an invalid User ID is entered for the MAPI Data Loader, even though the Data Loader run is interrupted. |
| CR 56968 | When the Search Exporter is installed, the SearchExporter.exe.config file is not created. |
| CR 55724 | Adobe PDF IFilter v6.0 is the recommended IFilter version that should be installed on the machine running the Full Text Index Service. (Adobe PDF IFilter v6.0 is available as a separate download from Adobe Reader v6.0.) Adobe Reader versions 7 and 8 should not be installed on the machine running the Full Text Index Service if it already contains Adobe PDF IFilter v6.0 because those versions of Reader contain IFilters that are incompatible with Adobe PDF IFilter v6.0. |
| CR 55489 | The FTI invokes only a single IFilter when indexing message attachments, so (for example) the contents of a PDF nested within a zip file are not indexed and are therefore invisible to a search. For a zip file the FTI uses only the zip IFilter, which does support indexing some simpler file formats (txt, doc, etc.), but not a nested PDF. |
| CR 29307 | If a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile device user does a reply, reply all, or forwards a message using the Archive Manager Web site for mobile users, and the recipient views the message in Outlook, any text that was entered on the mobile device is missing from the Outlook recipeint's message. |
| CR 30532 | By default, on a clean installation, the user won't be able to browse for contacts unless they have been assigned the "Person Search" security attribute. However, users will already have this attribute if an upgrade has been done from an earlier Archive Manager version in which this security attribute was granted. |
| CR 57028 |
If you have a remote instance of the Archive Manager Web Site, in order to open messages containing Rich Text Format in the body you must complete these steps on the remote server:
|
| CR 49045 | Archive Manager generates a duplicate mailbox when a user object is renamed but the GroupWise account is unchanged. Users associated with such accounts therefore cannot send emails via the Archive Manager web interface. |
| CR 49921 |
If your environment does not permit anonymous bind to authenticate with eDirectory, a third authentication parameter is required in addition to the NDS User and NDS Password parameters. Use the Config Editor to add the NDS User LDAP Name parameter. The format of the NDS User LDAP Name could be a Distinguished Name (e.g., cn=user,ou=organizationalunit,o=context), or an NDS Full Name (NDS:\\TreeName\Context\ObjectName), depending upon the implementation of eDirectory. |
| CR 56874 |
Shared folders are not processed correctly with the GroupWise Client version 7.0.3. When this client version is used, only the owner of the shared folder can see messages in the shared folder in Archive Manager. |
| CR 51191 |
To avoid caching old data, which in turn causes unexpected behavior in the Archive Retrieve Configuration Editor, change a setting in Internet Explorer (while logged into the BES system as the same user as the "service account" user):
|
| CR 32504 |
When reconstructing a stripped message with Archive Manager Outlook form, users may see: "This item contains active content that cannot be displayed in the Reading Pane. Open the item to read its contents." Follow the instructions to see the message. The workaround for the issue is:
|
| CR 41186 | Please use the Archive Manager web interface to view attachments whose total path length when downloaded to disk exceeds 264 characters. |
| CR 35703 | Archive Manager Outlook form cannot reconstruct messages (i.e. neither body nor attachments are returned) if a message has a zero byte attachment that is in the database more than once. You can open these types of messages using the Archive Manager Web Interface. |
| CR 41249 | The Archive Manager Outlook form cannot determine when a stubbed message has been deleted by a retention policy, so will display a "Message not found" error message. |
| CR 57136 | The Outlook form may not display attachments in messages forwarded after message reconstruction. This applies to messages containing a single attachment that has been stripped, then reconstructed by the Outlook form, forwarded within the organization, and then stripped in the recipient's mailbox. To avoid this issue, open the affected messages using the Archive Manager Web Site. |
| CR 50519 | The upgrade process does not recognize prior installations of the PST Importer, Search Exporter, and Retention Policy Editor components of Archive Manager. You must manually uninstall these components before performing an upgrade. A step for this has been added to the upgrade instructions in the Planning and Installation Guide. |
| CR 31471 | The standard Archive Manager upgrade procedure for systems serving a dual GW/Exchange configuration will disable Exchange services in the upgraded environment. A work-around process has been devised and is published at Quest's SupportLink as Solution SOL31789. |
