Release Notes


Version 10.8 Build 1658, Dec 23 2011

Major changes

  1. Office 365 Connector (new): The Office 365 environment is supported with a set of dedicated UMRA actions (1654, 06/December/2011)

Fixes and enhancements

  1. Action: New MoveRequest (Exchange 2010) (enhancement). Added support for the "AcceptLargeDataLoss" parameter.(1656, 12/dec/2011)
  2. Action: Edit Mailbox (Exchange 2010) (enhancement). Added support for the "RoleAssignmentPolicy" parameter.(1656, 12/dec/2011)
  3. Action: List MoveRequests (Exchange 2010) (fix). The 'RequestStyle' property is now returned in the table instead of the obsolete 'MoveType' property.(1656, 12/dec/2011)
  4. Action: Load Ldap modification data (enhancement). The resulting LDAP stucture is no longer unconditionally logged in the Umra log files. This logging is now optional, and is off by default (1654,30/nov/2011).
  5. RPC Communication Layer (Fix): Fixed an issue in the use of the memory manager for the RPC layer, as for example used by the UMRA Com object. This could cause the calling application to crash if a UMRA com method "execute project" was executed concurrently with another RPC using the same memory manager .This has been fixed. It most notably solves an issue for the SSRPM service when executing UMRA projects on password resets. (1656, 12/dec/2011).
  6. Action: Copy directory (fix): When the input for this action is invalid such that the specified destination directory itself is within the source scope, an endless recursion can occur. Basic validity checks to prevent this have been added. (1650,12/october/2011)
  7. Action: Send HTML mail message (fix): Unicode Characters in the mail body text that are not in the standard ascii set, are now encoded as e.g. ´. This ensures that the mail client program can display them properly. (1650,10/october/2011)
  8. Action: Google Get users (advanced) (fix): When retrieving the users, the column names from column 8 are incorrect. The name of column 9 was overwritten with the name of number 10. Number 10 with the name of 11 etc. Therefor only 63 column names where shown. The contents of the table where correct. Now the column names are correct. If a join is used on columnname of one of the columns above number 8 make sure the join is working as intented. (1650,5/oktober/2011)
  9. Action: Manage table (fix): When creating a new table, or adding a new column, now each column will automatically get a default column name. This is because some other operations may depend in specific circumstances on the availability of a column name. (1650,4/october/2011)
  10. Action: Format variable value (enhancement): The function "Remove diacritical marks" wil now also convert unicode caracters 0x1E20 en 0x1E21 to 'G' and 'g' respectively. (1650,28/september/2011)
  11. Service Installation (Enhancement): Increased minimum delay threshold in any query for the servicesatatus. This should prevent initial connection issues after upgrade of UMRA service (1650, 29/september/2011)
  12. RPC Communication Layer (Enhancement): Communication between different UMRA components has been modified to support ip6 networks.(1649,28/september/2011)
  13. Action: Convert to multi value variable (fix): Some of the memory resources used in this action where not correctly released. This could cause a growth of the memory used by the Umra service when this action was used frequently. This has been fixed. (1648,22/september/2011)
  14. TeleTOP (enhancement): Added a option to set the maximum number of worker threads.(1648,22/september/2011)
