Quest® Archive Manager
Version 4.0
Release Notes
February 2008
Quest® Archive Manager is an archiving and management solution that enables
e-mail 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 includes the following new features:
The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Archive Manager.
| CR 1925 | The new Federated Search features have been refined to eliminate problems with incomplete and inconsistent search results. |
| CR 1970 | Upgrading from an earlier version no longer breaks seamless messages. |
| CR 1979 | Inconsistencies in the date format within search results have been eliminated. |
| CR 18487 | Space characters that occurred within the RSS URL have been replaced with "%20" to prevent line breaks when the link is copied to emails or other media. |
| CR 19475 | A Configuration Editor program crash that occurred in a particular program context has been fixed. |
|
CR 20679 CR 37503 | Processing exclusion rules now properly saves an XML copy of the message in the exclusion folder. |
| CR 21104 | The hyperlink properties of HTML links in RTF and text mail items, which sometimes did not work after using the "Send to Me" feature, have been restored. |
| CR 37077 | Date-filtered searches for attachments now return results that are correctly filtered by date. |
| CR 37286 | Correction of an HTML coding error has eliminated the problem of some HTML message bodies appearing blank in Internet Explorer. |
| CR 37503 | Processing exclusion rules now properly saves an XML copy of the message in the exclusion folder. |
| CR 37568 | A delete policy on "Deleted Items" now correctly deletes the items. (In prior releases, the items were not deleted unless the same policy was applied to Inbox.) |
| CR 38476 | Timeouts that occurred in the Retention engine process when trying to delete items older than two months have been eliminated. |
| CR 39330 | Exclusion rules now permit a single wildcard "*" character in the To or From field. |
| CR 42923 | The Archive Manager Full Text Index Service now more aggressively retries reconnection with the SQL Server database when a connection is lost. |
| CR 44334 | Legitimate zero-byte attachments are no longer omitted by the Outlook form. |
| CR 44391 | The Retention Policy Editor now supports IIS servers running only SSL/HTTPS. |
| CR 44808 | Code refinements have removed the "mixed content" error message when using the web UI to forward or reply to a message by updating the web control. |
| CR 46710 | The Active Directory Connector no longer misidentifies msExchPrivateMDBPolicy as an msExchPrivateMDB, which thereby eliminates the associated processing errors. |
| CR 47327 | GroupWise messages that are stamped with checksum and resent by the senders are now archived to the correct users. |
| CR 47353 | Archive Manager now processes Read Receipts from older Outlook clients (97-2002). |
| CR 48447 | Archive Manager now supports text-string searches and indexing of Outlook 2007 file attachments. See the corresponding item under New in this Release above for implementation details. |
| CR 48762 | Duplicate attachment filenames are now properly differentiated in the attachment store by incrementing filenames and by file types, eliminating the inadvertent retrieval of wrong attachments, and assuring the launch of the correct application for each attachment file type. |
| CR 48888 | Occasional errors in attachment retrievals via the web UI are resolved by adherence to Archive Manager System Requirements, now updated in these Release Notes, and in the Quick-Start Guide, Install Guide for Exchange and Install Guide for GroupWise. |
| CR 49649 | A website "index outside the bounds" error that had occurred when trying to display a folder containing a particular message has been eliminated. |
| CR 49762 | Re-sent Exchange items are now properly archived. |
| CR 50904 | Issues with threading under load have been resolved. |
| CR 50992 | A "Delete Item" button has been added to the Configuration Editor. |
| 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 1921 | The DataLoader Service now correctly closes handles when finished, fixing the memory leak in previous versions of Archive Manager. |
| CR 29483 | Problems in setting up message policies and data loaders for complex environments have been resolved. |
| CR 38474 | Occasional DataLoader failures on GroupWise XML files with base-64 encoded message attachments have been eliminated. |
| CR 38762 | DataLoader errors when envelope journaling was enabled in Exchange are eliminated by not transacting the processing of recipients for existing messages produced with envelope journaling. |
| CR 45011 | DataLoader errors that occurred with some XML files when exporting compliance copies of messages with embedded message attachments have been eliminated. |
| CR 48239 | DataLoader errors that occurred when processing some XML files with non-standard characters have been eliminated. |
| CR 1922 | The ESM Service now correctly closes handles when finished, fixing the memory leak in previous versions of Archive Manager. |
| CR 35655 | The ESM no longer repeatedly reports information on corrupt Office documents every time it runs. |
| CR 39468 | XML files generated for delivery reports are now generated correctly. |
| CR 40338 | The Exchange Store Manager no longer unduly burdens the Exchange server or inflates the Exchange Transaction Log. |
| CR 46555 | The remote ESM config file setting to change the log file directory now works as it should. |
| CR 47959 | Running the DataLoader at least once before running the ESM eliminates a problem where messages were doubled up and not stripped when a remote ESM was in a different timezone from the DataLoader. |
| CR 49445 | The Stub Display Message configuration item is now properly honored by the ESM. |
| CR 51070 | Daylight savings time adjustments for time zones in the southern hemisphere are now applied correctly, so the ESM now properly updates folders in user mailboxes. |
| CR 23324 | Shared folders in GroupWise no longer cause the GSM to hang. |
| CR 40210 | The GroupWise Store Manager no longer generates errors when processing large XML files. |
| CR 47354 | "Access denied" error messages in the GroupWise Directory Connector are resolved by keeping the NetWare session open between runs. |
| CR 48889 | The GroupWise Directory Connector no longer mistakenly creates a second mailbox in Archive Manager when a new GroupWise user account is associated with an existing orphan mailbox. |
| CR 49045 | The GroupWise Directory Connector now correctly updates the UID in the database, so users can send email from the Archive Manager website. |
| CR 50756 | See "Archiving Shared Folders in GroupWise" in New in this Release above. |
| CR 1901 | The Offline Client no longer hangs when presented with specific message types. The webservice has been modified to (by default) still send all three body types (HTML, RTF, text), but in the case of the Offline Client, and any new development using MessageRetrieveWithOptions or MessageRetrieveSingleBody, will return only the body type of the original message as designated in the BodyType property. |
| CR 39069 | Occasional webservices (application pool) errors that occurred under load when the Offline Client was synchronizing have been eliminated. |
| CR 48992 | Offline Client sync times have been reduced. |
| CR 22844 | The PST Importer Installer now creates a shortcut for the PST Importer. The shortcut had been inadvertently omitted in the previous release. |
| CR 39559 | PST Importer errors that occurred when the option to delete imported items was enabled have been eliminated. |
| CR 47275 | The PST Importer now supports Outlook 2007. |
| CR 30502 |
When trying to export e-mail, the Search Exporter might submit the following error: "Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks." The workaround for the issue is:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <configuration> <startup> <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" /> <requiredRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />   </startup> </configuration> |
| CR 30798 | The export processes for MIME and HTML formats have been improved to properly export attachments. |
| CR 50461 | Office attachments to items exported to a PST file are now retained as they should be. |
|
CR 18222 CR 18223 |
The problem of GroupWise folders named "Sent Items" or "Trash" or "Deleted Items" appearing as system folders in Archive Manager can be eliminated by observing a caution documented in the Archive Manager User Guide (in chapter 4, under "About Standard Mailboxes," first bullet point in pushpin note):
|
| CR 37502 | An out-of-date download link for NDAP Controls has been removed from the System Requirements that occur in the Quick-Start Guide, Installation Guide for GroupWise, and in these Release Notes. The updated link no longer appears in the documentation because it points to the most recent version of the NDAP Controls, and we cannot certify that all future new versions will be supported for use with Archive Manager. |
| CR 39322 | Two documentation errors in the User Guide, regarding search syntax (in chapter 2), have been corrected. |
| CR 41360 | The Administration Guide and corresponding on-line Help system no longer mistakenly document a procedure for deleting a mail server — which is not a valid Archive Manager feature. |
| CR 42326 |
The Installation Checklists for Exchange and GroupWise now caution:
|
| CR 42477 | Installer errors that occurred when the ArchiveMgr_ESM account resided in the parent domain have been eliminated by creating the ArchiveMgr_ESM account in the child domain instead. The System Requirements and Installation Guide now require that the ArchiveMgr_ESM account be created in the child domain. |
| CR 42837 | The Administration Guide now correctly notes that wildcard characters are permitted within exclusion rules. See, in the "Exclusion Rules" chapter, the pushpin note in step 1 of "Add an Exclusion Rule." |
| CR 47429 | Typos in the Installation Checklist for Exchange have been corrected. |
| CR 47494 | The Installation Guides for both Exchange and GroupWise, and the Release Notes, now contain complete instructions for how to upgrade Archive Manager from an earlier version. |
| CR 48888 | Occasional errors in attachment retrievals via the web UI are resolved by adherence to Archive Manager System Requirements, now updated in these Release Notes, and in the Quick-Start Guide, Install Guide for Exchange and Install Guide for GroupWise. |
The following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of this Archive Manager 4.0 release:
| CR 31832 | When a message contains embedded images, the files that contain those images are hidden from Outlook, but not from the Archive Manager website. A user sees attachments in the Archive Manager website that they do not normally see in Outlook. |
| 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 47334 | Embedded javascript in some messages causes a redirect when the URL doesn't match the expected URL, so the message cannot be opened in the Archive Manager UI — although it does open in Outlook. |
| 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 51365 |
When installing Archive Manager to a system with a Tivoli Attachment Store:
If upgrading from an earlier Archive Manager release, simply follow the documented Upgrade Procedure, which calls for using the installer.exe instead of the .msi installer. |
| 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 47352 | Performance enhancements to the Archive Manager Search Exporter remain under development. |
| 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, if an upgrade has been done, users will already have this attribute. |
| CR 49921 |
If your environment does not permit anonymous bin8:49 AM 3/6/2008d 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 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 31690 | Archive Manager Outlook Form might reconstruct original messages incorrectly if they have images in the body. |
| 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 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 Summary of Upgrade Procedure below. |
