New in AM2004: Server Functionality

• The Administrator now displays a 'status' text for each vault.
  
  The normal vault status is 'Operational'. After upgrading the EDM Server machine vaults can have the status 'Upgrade Required'.
  
  
  
  
  The status text is also used to warn the Administrator when the most recent 'prepare for backup' operation has taken place too long ago.
  If the most recent 'prepare for backup operation' failed, the status will be 'Backup failed'.
  If the most recent 'prepare for backup operation' took place more than 5 days ago, the status will be 'Backup required'.
  
  The default period of 5 days can be configured in the registry of the server.
  
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cyco\<Active Product>\CurrentVersion\Installed DataStores\<Vault Name>
  "AlertNoBackup"=dword:00000005
  
  This value can be set to 0 to disable the 'Backup required' warnings.
   
• Create a Field Path Branch folder
  
  The Server now allows users to create and delete Branch folders. When creating a new branch folder the user must select a display name from the list defined in the Configurator.
   
• The document revisions dialog may show some revisions as <Invisible Revision>. This is because the Document Type of the revision no longer exists. This problem has been resolved by displaying these revisions using a special built-in document type.
   
• The EDM server no longer depends on the PDC (Primairy Domain Controller) for user validation. It will use a BDC if available.
   
• When unmapping a level in the Field Path definition the documents on the level might loose the values for the Field Path properties. This problem has been corrected.
   
• The detail of information logged by the AMFS driver has been reduced. This has resulted to a reduction of the size of the log-file.
  
  When troubleshooting, the details displayed can be increased using this registry value:
  
  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Cyco\<Active Product>\CurrentVersion\File System\Parameters
  "LogFilter"=dword:00000008
  
  The value is a bit mask of:
  0x00000001        Log Success
  0x00000002        Log Information
  0x00000004        Log Warnings
  0x00000008        Log Errors
  
  The default is '8' - this only report errors. To log Warnings as well, set a value of 8 + 4 = 0x0C (Hexadecimal). Logging Informational and Success messages is not recommended as this can seriously impact performance.
