1 Available Service Packs for Hyperwave Information Portal 1.0

1.1 Service Pack #1

Patch status:
required.
Applicable to:
Hyperwave Information Portal 1.0
Solved problems:
  • Annotations to generic documents are no longer possible. Instead of adding the annotation to the generic document the annotation is added to the parent collection.
  • The current news fetch does not respect the HTTP1.0 and HTTP1.1 standards in the correct way. The HTTP requests that are sent to the news provider are not valid HTTP requests. The Moreover server also accepts these incorrect requests.
  • The list of all checked out documents also includes locked documents.
  • If the package for an actively used track is removed, the tab where those tracks are used will not accept new tracks of any type.
  • If more than one browser is open, it is possible that a selected link in the Configuration Management dialogs will open in the 'wrong' browser window.
  • While installing the first package using IE 4.01 the progress bar shows 0 %. Then after finishing the first package the progress bar jumps to 100% for the rest of all packages.
  • The search result of "Similar documents" shows always "No similar documents found" when using the native search engine. In the case of a native search engine the menu entry is not deactivated.
  • Under some circumstances a click on a link in the Configurations dialogs (for viewing the content of the choosen configuration) leads to a looping browser. The browser reloads the content of the configuration but the frames stay empty.
  • The browse button in the "New Note" dialog will fail if the user doesn't have a home collection and the user doesn't have write access to the current collection and their parent collections. A click on the browse button results in an "Invalid URL syntax" error message.
  • A click on the left search navigation arrow (back) in the search result dialog results in an outdated page if one of the serverpool servers - which is in the search scope - is down.
  • Installation of Tracks will not work if more than approx.16 or 17 packages are available. If more than 16/17 packages are selected in the IE the installation aborts with a JavaScript runtime error.
  • When updating old packages some "undefined" information is written into the status.log of all uninstalled package.
  • User block buttons are not accessible if the description attribute of the identified user is too long (longer than approx. 40 characters). The description will be displayed in the user block but the buttons (e.g. Home, Login,...) are no longer visible - they are moved far right. This is true especially for all non-3D styles. For 3D styles, only the Authoring button is moved too far to the right.
  • CustomIndex attributes cannot be entered using the attributes dialog. No CustomIndex attributes were added to the document after pressing OK. Only CustomIndex attributes of type "Time" were added - but with a wrong attribute name.
  • Extended Search doesn't find anything if looking for a custom attribute, Keyword or Name. Esp. CustomIndex search doesn't return any result. When performing an extended search where only CustomIndex is selected "no documents found" will be always be returned after pressing OK. The CustomIndex attributes are not displayed correctly under section "In Attributes:".
  • Super constructor ignores required attributes for document classes derived from Object and Collection when using the Web interface to insert a document class. All attribute specifications with a prefix (e.g. HW_DC_RCA) are handled incorrectly.
  • Download of documents via clicking the right mouse button and selecting "Save Target As..." doesn't work. The browser status bar doesn't show the correct URL of the object the mouse pointer is on.
  • A click on "List all documents" in the Find Expert dialog does not show all files.
  • A fulltext search with "Owner=..." returns too many hits. The search result dialog will show all documents the entered user owns, no matter if the search term is part of those documents or not.
  • When a custom indexed attribute also is used as a Required Child Attribute the attribute is shown twice if the "more.." part of the dialog is open. If only one of the two instances is filled with a value, then - in case the attribute is a "required one" - the RCA-mechanism insists on having the second instance also be filled with a value - which would lead to two inctances of the same attribute in the resulting object.

2 Patch installation

2.1 Windows

Note: If the service pack is started in the servers home directory, it automatically overwrites files in the patches directory (no backup copy of the old files is created). To prevent any unwanted loss of files see instructions below.

All patches in the win32 directory are selfextracting archives. To apply the update:

  1. Download the patch into the servers home directory.
  2. Doubleclick on the patch file.
  3. Press the "Run Winzip" or the "Unzip" to extract all files from the service pack.
  4. Read the patches readme file and follow the installation/update instructions listed there.

    NOTE: The service pack specific readme file could be found in the directory patches\<patchID>. The <patchID> is a patch specific subdirectory of $HOME\patches - e.g. hip10sp1.

2.2 UNIX

  1. Download the patch into a temporary directory.
  2. Change to the Hyperwave Information Server home directory.
  3. Call "gzip -cd <patchfile> | tar xf -" in the Hyperwave Information Server home directory.
