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.Release 2021-08-16 - 20210816160000 Anchor2021081616000020210816160000

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.

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 whyCHANGEThe 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 replicasFIXFixed the computed link to the Config database in the navigator, if the Analyze database is from a MarvelClient Essentials installFIXFixed a potential "Error 165 External function not found" when using the "Run Cleanup/Automailer once now" button on the Cleanup documentRelease 2021-05-25 - 20210525132900 Anchor2021052513290020210525132900

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.

Config DB - General

FIXFixed a problem where the mail-based installer would only check the first binary in the list, if multiple binaries (e.g. Windows, Windows64, Mac) were attached to the mail-based install document

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

ENHANCEMENTMCUpgrade Config Wizard now has an option to deploy a custom logo for messageboxes
ENHANCEMENTWhen changing the full client package and/or addon instructions and/or CITRIX=1 in the MarvelClient Upgrade Configuration wizard, the admin is now prompted whether (Un)Install Instructions should be updated accordingly
ENHANCEMENTWhen selecting which MC DLL to deploy, the MarvelClient Upgrade Configuration Wizard requires an MC.DLL >= 14 if the full client package is >= 14
ENHANCEMENT

In the MarvelClient Upgrade Configuration Wizard, previous versions allowed you to disable "Install Service" in combination with "Use Service exclusively" - which makes no sense, since the service cannot be used unless it's already installed.

Now, "Install service" can no longer be disabled if "use service exclusively" is selected.

ENHANCEMENT

To avoid potential client crashes, the Compact Templates option can no longer be enabled when selecting a full client package >= 12.0.2

FIX

Fixed a class conflict error for the "Image" class in the Windows 64-bit client

FIX

Fixed an issue where after clicking on "Launch KeyfileEditor" and closing the KeyfileEditor, Notes would run into a "subscript out of range" error in the latest template. 

Analyze DB

ENHANCEMENT

New option in the Users/Upload views: Audit All Updated documents. This will automatically run the Audit agent on the server against all new and updated upload documents, so you don't have to wait for the scheduled agent to run.

Image Removed

ENHANCEMENT

The DXLRAWImport and DXLRAWExport agents used for roaming have been enhanced to also roam the Display As List/Display As Workspace bookmark option for Basic clients. If you want to use this new feature for Basic client roaming, you will need to do the following after updating to this version of the Analyze template:

  • Open the actions in the Config DB that run the DXLImport/Export agents, put them in Edit mode, and click the "Check For Update" button in the Source Agent section of the form
  • Make sure the DXLImport action has a runtype of "After Write"; this is necessary to prevent the bookmarks database from overwriting our changes

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

ENHANCEMENTMCUpgrade now deploys the 64-bit MarvelClient DLL as (p)mc64.dll instead of (p)mc.dllFIXFixed a problem where importing installers or publishing packages would fail if Online Update had been performed using a 32-bit client, but the import/publish action was performed with a 64-bit client (or vice versa)

Analyze DB

ENHANCEMENT

Automailer now allows the use of non-email Notes accounts.

Previously it excluded any person documents where MailSystem was different from "1" (Notes), or MailServer or MailFile were empty. These can now be optionally included. If this option is enabled (default is disabled), and Automailer is processed on each mail server, a new field is displayed to choose on which mail server to include the non-email accounts.

FIX

Fixed a problem where the HW/SW Inventory agent would be missing data if Online Update had been performed using a 32-bit client, but the agent was run on a 64-bit client (or vice versa)

Config DB - General

ENHANCEMENT

Changed the text on the Mailbased Installer form to say "Windows/Notes 64 Bit" instead of "Windows 64 Bit" to better indicate that this refers to a 64-bit Notes client, not a 64-bit version of Windows

FIXRemoved a "Lotus" reference on the Location action formFIXThe Bookmark example actions were missing the Target Type (this was a regression introduced in template version 20230420)FIXChanged the runtype for the example action "Roam latest backup from mc:network_directory (if newer) limited replica" to BL InitFIXRemoved the example action "Activate Roaming enhancements in MC namespace". The "Set mc:DXL Export/Import Roaming..." example action should be used instead.

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

ENHANCEMENTMCUpgrade now also applies notes.ini and data exclude filters if old and new folders are the sameFIXRemoved some "Lotus" references in the Mailbased Installer code

Analyze DB

NEW

MarvelClient now offers two ways to automate replacing the design of a user’s mail database if the mail template version is not up to date:

  1. With MarvelClient Upgrade you can initiate replacing the design of the user’s mail database immediately after a Notes client is upgraded, using the "success" email generated by the upgrade process.
  2. Based on user data (Notes version and current mail template name) in the MarvelClient Analyze database, you can replace the design of a user’s mail database using a scheduled agent.

This can be useful for updating a user's mail template to the latest version after the Notes client is upgraded to a new client version. It can also be used to deploy a customized mail template to specific users.

ENHANCEMENTThe "Audit Selected" button now also runs Cleanup and/or Post-Processing agents, if they are active in the Configuration document (previously these agents were only run by the scheduled "Audit" agent, but not by "Audit Selected")ENHANCEMENTThe Cleanup action now also cleans up Nomad Roaming documents, based on the "Number of days after which a document is to be considered outdated" setting in the Configuration documentENHANCEMENTThe Cleanup action now also cleans up Nomad Upload documents, based on the "Limit the number of profiles" setting in the Configuration documentENHANCEMENTThe Addon HW/SW Inventory agent now only creates new Inventory Overflow documents if needed, and deletes outdated inventory documents when it's doneENHANCEMENT

The Users by State & Upload Key view now has a "(64)" suffix in the MarvelClient version column if the client is using a 64-bit version of MarvelClient

Config DB - General

NEW

The "Generate PostOpen Script" dialog on the Mailbased Installer form (in the Administration – Installation view) now has a new option: Deploy code to a standard mail template

Image Removed

This option displays a dialog that allows you to make a copy of an existing mail template, with the Mailbox PostOpen Script code already copied to the proper design elements in the new template. This will make it much easier to get started testing in your environment, if you choose to use this deployment method.

ENHANCEMENT

INI Management actions of type "XML", "JSON", and "Custom .ini file" can now be enabled for Nomad platforms

ENHANCEMENT

Updated the "Delete all entries in ECL" example action to also preserve the "Domino Template Development" ECL entry introduced in Notes 12

FIX

If there is a license update, OnlineUpdate now disables all old active licenses, not just the most current one

FIX

Config DB - General

NEWBeginning 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.

ENHANCEMENT

Previously, the "import installer"dialog always opened "C:\Users\Public" as default location to import installers from. Now, the "import installer" dialog will open the following folder as default:

  • if opened from the installer view, it will use the folder of the currently highlighted/first selected installer, if the folder exists (from the viewpoint of the user launching the dialog)
  • if not used from the installer view, or the folder of the highlighted/first selected installer does not exist, it will use notes.ini:$MCU_LastInstallerPath, if the corresponding entry and folder exist
  • if no folder was resolved from the above, "C:\Users\Public\MCUpgrade\Installers" is used, if it exists
  • if no folder was resolved from the above, "C:\Users\Public" is used

After importing an installer, notes.ini:$MCU_LastInstallerPath is set to the folder of the first imported installer, if it is different from "C:\Users\Public" and "C:\Users\Public\MCUpgrade\Installers".

ENHANCEMENT

The tabs in the desktop browser preview are now clickable in their entirety. Previously, only the text was clickable.

CHANGE

Changed the "Roam latest backup" example actions so they default to a runtime of Before Login instead of BL Init.

FIXFixed a problem in the Bookmark action form that could cause a new or resaved action to fail with the error "could not find mapping for '' in <partialmatch>". This was caused by a change in the 20230323 template.
FIX

Several changes to allow various pieces of code to work properly with the 64-bit 12.0.2 FP2 client, including:

  • Online Update using the LotusScript connect option
  • Reading the clipboard (Application/Mailfile action, Profile document action)
  • Getting the list of servers (Agent action, Recent Apps action)
  • Reading the low-resolution database icon (Application/Mailfile action)

Note that these things worked properly on previous 64-bit clients, but changes were required with 12.0.2 FP2. These will also be needed for Notes 14.

FIX

Release notes URL generation code has been updated to properly detect templates tagged as Notes 14.

FIX

Fixed a problem where Online Update using a Java connection option and proxy server settings would fail on Notes 14.

FIX

Fixed a problem where the GetLicenseInfo.xml file generated by Online Update is sometimes empty after a failed connection, and cannot be deleted or modified until the Notes client restarts.

FIX

Fixed a problem on the Application/Mailfile action form where the validation display shows the wrong text if 'Variable' is selected as a Local Replica option and the 'Variable' field is empty.

Config DB - MC Upgrade UI

ENHANCEMENTIndexing of installers for MarvelClient Upgrade now also detects bitness of the selected file itself. This can come in handy to detect the bitness of executables like notes.exe or similar (after which the indexer document should be deleted )
FIXThe default German text displayed in the MessageBox at the end of a failed upgrade lacks a character. This is now fixed.
FIXThe text ini:Userinterface on the Language tab was linked to a no longer available IBM page. The link has now been removed.
FIXFixed an issue where the AUT manifest version was not displayed in all cases where possible.

NEW

The Application/Mailfile action has a new "Background" option on the Local Replica tab when creating a new local replica.

This new functionality requires MarvelClient 14.0.1 or higher.

ENHANCEMENT

OnlineUpdate now works properly on the Windows 64-bit client when using the "LotusScript" connection option

NOTE: the 64-bit version of Notes 12.0.2, up to and including FP2, OnlineUpdate will not work properly with a connection option of "LotusScript" and a proxy option "Use System Settings". This is due to a bug in the Notes client that was fixed in 12.0.2 FP3 and Notes 14.0.0. If you are using an affected version of 12.0.2, please choose a different connection option, or use the menu option Actions – O. Online Update – 1. Perform Full Online Update instead of using the OnlineUpdate form.

ENHANCEMENT

The example INI filters used by backup and roaming actions now include EXTMGR_ADDINS, AddinMenus, and NSF_HOOKS to make sure those settings don't roam (they can cause issues roaming between 32-bit and 64-bit clients, or between Mac and Windows clients).

FIX

Fixed a problem where the GetLicenseInfo.xml file generated by OnlineUpdate could be locked as a zero byte file if incorrect connection options were used, requiring a restart of the Notes client before the file could be deleted or overwritten.

FIX

If "Variable" is selected as the Local Replica option on an Application/Mailfile action and the Variable field is empty, the validation display shows the wrong text.
