Support News

Product Terminology Update In an effort to provide a more consistent, easy-to-understand reference to our various product releases, Global 360 has made some updates to terminology usage. It is hoped that these changes provide a common understanding of the types of releases for all Global 360 products.

Below is a list of common terminology definitions used by Global 360:

• Bug—a problem with the product not working as designed.

• New Feature Suggestion or NFS—something that the product doesn't do and wasn't designed to do but has been requested.

• Hotfix—a code change for a specific issue or issues that is delivered to customers outside of a planned maintenance or development cycle.

NOTE: Going forward, “hotfix” replaces “patch,” a term that has been used for some products. However, if you are looking for an older item on the Global 360 Support Portal, it will still be labeled as a patch.

• Service Pack—a roll up of Hotfixes and software changes that may include new functionality.

• Minor release—a release that generally includes hotfixes and new product features on the existing product architecture and function.

• Major release—a release that generally includes architecture changes and significant new product functions.

• Certified—a configuration of Global 360 software that has been tested in our labs and is confirmed to work. Bugs will be fixed if found in a certified configuration.

• Supported—a configuration of Global 360 software that is supported regardless of testing. Bugs will be fixed if found in a supported configuration.

• Controlled Release—a release available to limited customers. A controlled release typically occurs during the initial release of a major product release.

• General Availability —a release available to all customers.

• Version—a numbered configuration of a product (what you see in Help About).

• Release—the distribution of a product version. (Version typically deals with “numbering” while release deals with “process”.)

July/August 2008 page 7

Route statistics support enables Prism to track data on the frequency with which work flows along the various branches in a process map. New fields have been added that enable MDX queries to be constructed that can slice by previous activity to get branch weighting statistics. This data can be extracted by Studio Process Designer for use in simulation setup.

Page 8: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

Key Features

• Ability to analyze branching

• Routing data available for import into simulation.

Value

• Provides insight into the routing characteristics of production behavior – enabling answers to questions such as how frequently are exceptions made?

• Enables simulations that more accurately reflect the flow of work in the process.

KPI Enhancements

A number of enhancements were made to KPI definition.

Key Features

• A new KPI Status option has been added called Closer is better. This allows you to define KPIs where the status range degrades the further away from the target value regardless of direction away from the target.

• Relative time slice support enables static or dynamic periods to be defined that can be

used for evaluation of KPIs.

• Named sets of dimension filters can be used to define KPIs. These named sets can be a combination of more than one dimension filter. These named sets are usable in multiple KPIs.

Value

• New KPI options and new ways of defining time periods for analysis improve your ability to measure and analyze performance.

• Named sets simplify KPI definition when commonly used dimensions can be identified.

Dynamic Timed Sequence Support

Timed sequences can now be created dynamically. Previously, if you needed to measure performance within a specific time period, you were required to define and send specific Begin and End timed sequence events as part of the process event stream.

Key Features

• Dynamic Timed Sequences can be created in Prism Administration. These timed sequences can be defined after a process map has been created and is in production.

July/August 2008 page 8

• Dynamic Timed Sequences are identified by name. You specify at least one activity that triggers the start of the timed sequence and at least one activity that will trigger the end of the timed sequence.

Page 9: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

• Dynamic Timed Sequences are represented as if the events were sent by the source BPM system.

Value

• You have greater flexibility in how you analyze performance data.

• You no longer need to modify a process map in order to analyze performance within a sequence of activities. You may not always know in advance what sequences users want to measure. Circumstances may change such that sequences that you may not have anticipated become more important.

• Timed sequences are no longer required to be defined on a process map, simplifying the map display.

Enterprise Administration and Management

Significant advancements have been made to the administration and management of Prism data. Most of these improvements can be categorized as Partition Management or Event Management.

Partition Management

Partitions provide a mechanism to separate data into physical units. Effective use of partitions can improve query and processing performance and facilitate data management.

Key Features

• You can create a partition plan that specifies how data should be distributed between various partitions based upon time periods.

• You can specify that a new partition is created daily.

Value

• Greater flexibility in partition management enhances system and data management and helps to optimize cube processing performance.

• Good processing performance ensures that data presented for analysis reflects the most current data.

Event Management

When data anomalies occur, you can use event management features to investigate.

July/August 2008 page 9

Page 10: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

Key Features

• You can browse events and query for specific events or event types, such as Quarantined Events, Events by Date, Status, or by Instance.

• Detailed status on events is available, for instance, if an event has been quarantined, viewing of the event quarantine details will show why the event was quarantined. Event detail includes all relevant field data and event timestamps. Events can be also be examined in “raw” XML.

• Quarantined events can be selected and deleted, or reset so that they can be retried for publication.

• You can search for and force termination or force completion of activities that are unreasonably long.

Value

• Administrators are well-equipped to investigate and remedy data anomalies.

• Data can more easily be kept “clean” to ensure accurate reporting.

Dimension and Measure Extensions

A number of new dimensions and measures have been introduced in this release

Key Features

• Predefined dimensions now include: Global Queue, Global Participant and Global Process Activity

• The Calendar dimension now has a Quarter level and two new hierarchies: Day of Week and Week of Year.

July/August 2008 page 10

• System measures can be created with a “min” and/or “max” aggregation.

Page 11: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

Value

• You have greater flexibility in your analysis and reporting.

Insight360 Studio New Features Import of Decision Weights from Prism Data

With Release 2.1, you can acquire “weights” for decision activity routing from Prism. Acquisition of decision weights are controlled at Decision Activity setup.

Key Features

• A wizard is invoked when the user chooses “Acquire” for decision activity routing.

• The wizard queries the user for a timeframe to analyze and then extracts data from the OLAP cubes and displays the routes taken from the specified activity by work processed during the that timeframe.

Value

• Provides insight into the routing characteristics of production behavior – enabling answers to questions such as how frequently are exceptions made?

• Enables simulations that more accurately reflect the flow of work in the process.

Process Definition and Exchange Framework

The architecture of Process Designer now includes a Process Definition and Exchange Foundation that manages how XPDL formatted models are interpreted by Process Designer and how Process Designer constructs XPDL for model export.

Key Features

• Preserves the XPDL extensions in a process model imported into Process Designer or exported from Process Designer. Many vendors add extra process information.

• Participants and Roles are included in the XPDL exported from Process Designer.

• Provides an extensible framework to enable support of vendor-specific transformations.

Value

• When process models are interchanged between one modeling environment and Designer and then returned back to the original modeling environment, the “fidelity” of the original process model is better preserved.

July/August 2008 page 11

• Where there are differences in interpretation of the XPDL standard, the framework enables creation of custom adapters to ensure appropriate interpretation of the model.

Page 12: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

Reports and Process Properties

Beginning with Release 2.1, Process Designer now includes a reports feature.

Key Features

• You can associate text descriptions with Processes and Maps. These are set by a Properties menu item. Using Properties, you can set Name, Author, and Description for the item.

• The Reports Manager feature enables generation and display of reports. It also includes generation of export of Simulation setup and Simulation results.

• A default Process Description report creates a simple HTML-based report that merges properties information with map graphics. Three report templates are provided as HTML documents that can be further customized.

Value

• You have more flexibility in how to report on your Studio process.

Simulation Enhancements – Statistics Extensions

Enhancements to Simulation have been developed to enable finer analysis of process performance.

Key Features

• Event logging allows you to log when work reaches a certain point. This allows you to track and report milestones.

• Setup of Timed Sequences allow you to focus in on a specific set of activities for tighter performance analysis

• Simulation of Service Level Agreement (SLA) enables you to monitor performance based upon a completion time target.

o SLAs may be set up on the process, on timed sequences or on activities

o The SLA result tab shows counts of the items that completed within the target completion time and counts of those that did not complete within that target.

July/August 2008 page 12

Page 13: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

o For those that completed within target, you can see the ratio of those that completed within target to the total.

Value

• Statistical extensions provide you better focus and visibility into the projected performance of the process.

Simulation Enhancements – Work Handling Extensions Key Features

• When a human activity can take a significant period of time, you need to consider how work should be handled when it is still in process at the time that a simulated user/participant is at the end of a work period. With Release 2.1, you can specify a number of ways that the simulation should handle this (suspended) work. Work in process when a resource is no longer available (on break or at end-of-day) can be specified to be:

o suspended and continued by the same performer when he or she is available again

o picked up by the next available resource

o Work can be forced to be suspended in order to simulate being put on hold for some time, for instance, to simulate pending outside communications. You can specify a probability that work will be suspended.

Value

• More modeling flexibility enables you to model the simulation to better reflect existing or projected production behavior.

Optimization Enhancements

The optimizer was introduced in Release 2.0 of Insight360 Process Designer. These capabilities have been enhanced in Release 2.1.

Key Features

• Besides optimization on Waiting Time (default), optimization now includes Completion Time. Completion time is factored in the processing time for activity. This allows the optimizer to prioritize activities with a high completion time.

• You can now focus on parts of the process to optimize. You can limit your scope to a timed sequence, SLA or the whole process.

• Express Optimization continues to work as before, optimizing on wait time, and including the entire process in its scope.

Value

• You have more flexibility in how to optimize your process.

• You can look at the process in more sophisticated ways – with better ability to focus on where and why to optimize.

Process360 9.5.1 Updates Global 360 continues to build upon the SharePoint Application Framework available for Release 9.5.1. Additional web parts and an associated web service have recently been released as hotfixes (Rapid Improvements). The Framework now includes

• Caselist

• Locators

Upcoming Releases

Case360 10.2 Target release: mid-August 2008

Case360 10.2 continues to add significant new functionality, customer requests and strategic integrations to the Case360 product. At the time of writing, the release process is into deep QA, with a planned release in mid-August. The general availability (GA) will be announced on the Global 360 Support Portal: http://support.global360.com.

The main themes for the Case360 10.2 are:

• Simplify application design to speed up application development and deployment

• Reduce the need to write custom code and Java classes, improving reliability and flexibility

• Improve the appearance and responsiveness of end-user interfaces

• Provide a new Content Broker / Repository interface mechanism

• Provide improved visibility into Casefolder usage and workload

• Incorporate feedback from customers

• Enhanced recognition service for full-page OCR, zonal OCR and barcodes

Platform support remains largely the same, with the addition of support for DB2 UDB 9 for Linux UNIX and Windows.

Layout Designer Phase 1: End-User Forms Design It is the intention of many organizations to allow business and process analysts, and other users without software development skills to get more involved in the design of Case360 applications. A significant area of application development for applications is in the user interface, especially where data contained and updated in the system must be represented as UI forms. In Case360, forms are core to providing data-entry, queries and results for Casefolder, Process, Filestore and Formdata objects. Although incredibly flexible, the need to write JSP pages limits this area of application to skilled developers, so there is a need to provide a more configurable approach to forms design.

July/August 2008 page 14

The Case360 R&D team has been working for a considerable amount of time on providing an end-user forms designer. The forms designer will be completely browser-based and integrated into the Case360 Toolbox, enabling designers to create forms and associated fields from a central location. The WYSIWYG forms designer will enable the drag and drop of fields and UI elements from the palette onto the main form canvas, with placement options such as alignment making designs more consistent. Most of the major forms capabilities currently available only through JSP design will be made available, including selection of fields and field formatters, labels, buttons and relations. In addition the form designer will provide field grouping that enables multiple fields to be associated and displayed or hidden based on the change of value of another field, providing the potential for highly dynamic forms to be designed.

Page 15: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

The output of the forms designer will be an XML forms definition that will be version controlled, as well as a JSP page that will be the used for forms display at runtime, ensuring that the responsiveness of forms currently experienced is not degraded. For highly complex requirements, forms designer can be used as a prototyping tool, with JSP development extending the result if required.

The forms designer will provide a new mechanism for table definition, within the form design palette, effectively bringing the design of data models and their presentation more closely together for a designer. The form designer provides the ability to add columns and relations to the table definition as well as to specify how they are to be presented to the user. If desired, the table definition may be modified without using the form designer, using the current table definition admin tool.

The forms designer component will continue to be extended over time, as well as being supplemented by further UI design tools.

Named Scripts

The Case360 script engine / expressions package is an extremely powerful component of the product, which not only enables developers to represent complex logic for capture and process activities, but also reduces the amount of custom Java code that must be written and integrated to meet complex business requirements. To make scripting capabilities more reusable across the system, and to enable script-based event handlers to be developed, a complete new Named Scripts capability is being built into the Case360 Toolbox.

There are three categories of named scripts:

1. General named scripts, organized into a hierarchy of packages.

2. Methods on object types, including the ability to define dynamic subclasses.

3. Event handler scripts, implementing an event interface.

A new toolbox Scripts tool is included to create and manage named scripts.

• Application designers can call a named script or method from within any expression or script.

July/August 2008 page 15

• Named scripts may be invoked via Ajax calls.

Page 16: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

• A given script may provide multiple overloaded implementations.

• Scripts now support inheritance and polymorphism.

• Scripts automatically participate in the scripting language's list processing features.

• All binding is done at runtime, allowing the application designer to modify a script and have their changes take effect immediately with no need to restart the application server.

• Access to scripts is controlled using an ACL.

Scripts are imported and exported as part of an application.

An additional advantage of the new scripting features is that scripts utilized in Process models can now be edited independently, enabling more rapid development of process logic and operations.

With the ability to import and export scripts within applications, it is expected that Global 360 PSO and Partners will be able to build an extensive reusable library of scripts that can supplement many Process, Casefolder and Capture features. The administration of these scripts is expected to make named scripts extremely accessible and reusable by application designers.

Enhanced Web Service Client With the release of the Service Broker as an edition of Case360 10.1 and the continued need to extend Service Oriented Architecture capabilities within Case360, the use of web services in applications has been gaining attention again. This need is being addressed for Case360 as a consumer of services and a producer or host of services.

Case360 has been able to consume web services for several releases, both through process activities and in script expressions. As web services have evolved, so too have the many issues around interoperability, meaning that the current capabilities available in the product are insufficient to address the different web services standards that have been widely implemented. A common deficiency experienced by developers using the Case360 web service client is the ability to connect to and call web services with operations containing complex types.

July/August 2008 page 16

In the Case360 10.2 release, a new web service consumer will be provided that is able to connect to and call any standard web service.

Page 17: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

It will leverage the Case360 XML capabilities to retrieve and compose complex types, according to their WSDL specifications, as well as providing access to native types. Special care has been taken to ensure that the new functionality operates effectively across our supported application server platforms, something that is not available with many available web service platforms.

New Field Formatters Some new field formatters are included in this version:

Currency – The currency formatter may be used with Decimal fields to display monetary values. The specified currency formatting rules are applied when the field is displayed. When the user tabs into the field, the redundant currency formatting symbols are removed, allowing the user to modify the value. When the user tabs out of the field, the currency formatting symbols are added back to the displayed value.

Calendar – The calendar formatter may be used with Timestamp fields to display a calendar control, making it easier to select a date. The application designer can choose to have the calendar displayed in-line in the form, or have the calendar control appear under the input field when the user tabs into the field and disappear when the user tabs out of the field.

Embed Object – The embed object formatter may be used with repository key fields to display the object referenced by a repository key in a layout. This formatter is particularly useful when used to display the content of a Filestore document in a form.

Mail Input Driver

July/August 2008 page 17

The Capture Broker supports the use of e-mail messages as a source of content. The mail input driver accepts input from a specified e-mail mailbox. As with other Capture Input Drivers, the Message Input driver can capture e-mail messages that include XML buddy files.

Page 18: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

The capture Mail Input driver has been enhanced and added into the core product (it was formerly available as sample code). This driver enables the application designer to accept new content from an e-mail mailbox.

AJAX (XML/HTTP API) framework Users are made aware of the capabilities of modern web applications through a range of common websites, and the perception of usability that comes from dynamic user interfaces has been raised. For this reason Case360 has the requirement to offer more dynamic UI functions in its out of the box UI, and AJAX is the obvious choice.

An AJAX framework was introduced in Case360 10.1.01, as an enabling technology for the new User Selection dialog, as well as to support the development of the upcoming Layout Designer. This framework has been refined to enable Case360 10.2 to offer a limited AJAX API of commonly requested functions, as well as associated browser components. These functions will include features such as batch operations to be performed against query results (e.g. select multiple and delete all checked items). Case360 configured menus and buttons can now take advantage of AJAX functions to make calls to the server. In addition, third-party applications and portals may use Case360 published AJAX methods for access to data and functionality in a Case360 system.

As our customers have come to expect from Case360, this new capability will be extremely extensible. The AJAX API can be extended by customers to respond to new requests through the typical Java event handlers. In addition, the Named Scripts capability will enable new functions to be published without the need to write Java, leveraging the XML capabilities of Case360. Several mechanisms for delivering the UI components and making them customizable are being explored. A Javascript library will be provided that provides the out of the box capabilities, and will be accessible to use as patterns for creating further UI components.

Multiple Select Query

July/August 2008 page 18

An application designer can now define a query output that displays a tool bar menu in the query results with a variety of standard and user defined actions that can be performed on one or more objects in a query result set.

Page 19: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

The menu editor now supports actions that are implemented as Ajax calls and significant enhancements in usability are expected through the use of multiple select queries and custom Ajax functions. The product is released with several standard Multiple Select Toolbars, for manipulating Process, Casefolder, Formdata and Filestore objects in query results.

Application Import/Export Enhancements – for Team Development Case360 is a unique platform for building human-centric process, case, content and data management applications and many customers have told us that they believe that the open and extensible nature of the product are what they most appreciate in it. A major capability to support this is the application import and export functionality, which allows a completely functional application to be exported to a single XML package for import into another system. This provides complete application version capability, and guaranteed consistency of configuration.

Based on examining customer experience using import / export, Global 360 has observed that the current capability requires significant extension to enable it to work effectively in a development team environment, where multiple developers are working on different components of a single application on separate (often VM-based) servers. To facilitate the need to be able to export complete applications from different servers and consolidate the results onto a single central server (for example for promotion from development to test environments, or for nightly centralized development builds), import / export will be significantly revised.

To solve the project merging problem, all exportable objects will have a unique ID (GUID) and a modification timestamp. The timestamp will be used during import, comparing the timestamp on the object existing on the target server with the timestamp on the object being imported. Objects will only be overwritten on the target system if the version being imported is newer than the existing version.

Content Brokers - Repository Provider interface

July/August 2008 page 19

A new repository interface RepositoryProvider has been defined. This new API replaces the existing RepositoryInterface interface (which is still supported, but is now deprecated). This new interface greatly extends the ability to access and manipulate objects in external repositories. Over time the packaged Global 360 Content Brokers will be extended to take advantage of this new interface.

Page 20: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

Casefolder Event Stream for Insight360 Prism Casefolder has been updated to generate Prism events to allow users to use Prism for analytics, monitoring, and reporting of CaseFolder activity. Prism events are generated when CaseFolder instances are created and when task or contents are started and completed. The Prism events can contain CaseFolder fields that can be exposed as dimensions and measures and user participant information. The events allow Prism to monitor and report how much work was completed, how long did it take and how users are being utilized. In Prism terminology the WORKFLOW events are generated when CaseFolder instances are created, completed, or deleted and ACTIVITY events are generated when a Task or Content status changes to “In Progress” and “Completed”.

Casefolder Dashboard The unique Case360 Casefolder is routinely used by many customers to organize and manage the complex sets of tasks that knowledge workers must perform in complex operations, as well as providing some structured “state-based” processes that can be rapidly deployed. Although the Casefolder is the focal point for a large amount of user activity, very little visibility into the workload or performance of users has been available out of the box.

In Case360 10.2, a Casefolder Dashboard is planned, to reflect that currently available for processes. This will provide several new tabs in the template window:

• Charts – use predefined queries to report on the status of the casefolders

• Queries – enable the application designer to automatically define a "standard" set of queries for a casefolder template

• Statistics – run the system statistics tool automatically displaying any statistics related to this casefolder

New Feature Suggestions (NFS) and minor enhancements This list represents a small set of the customer requested enhancements also included in 10.2. Additional information can be found in the release notes and Case360 10.2 Help Guide.

• The Logout function now properly invalidates the user's session with the application server.

• New configuration parameters in the context adapter now allow configuring Filestore background processing on a server by server basis.

July/August 2008 page 20

• The license manager will now send an alert message to the e-mail address set in the new LICENSEMAILALERT configuration property if the license key has expired.

Page 21: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

• Added the ability for the casefolder and table event handlers to specify the name of a JSP file for custom framesets/forms.

• A new menu tab style named "Simple" has been added to offer a simpler, cleaner look for the tab menus. The system menu tab style is set in the General page of the Configuration tool.

• All JavaScript files have been (lightly) compressed to improve network efficiency; customer customization of these files should no longer be done.

Optional Component: Recognition Service (for Full-Page OCR, Zonal OCR and Barcoding) Case360 10.2 will integrate with an enhanced version of the full-page OCR Recognition Service. The new version will allow customers to define types of documents to recognize and the positions and sizes of fields or “zones” to apply OCR to. Recognition is performed within a business process at defined Recognition Activities, allowing it to be used with any capture mechanism that imports image documents.

As an example use case, the Recognition Service will enable customers to define paper forms that can be automatically indexed without keying information, and enable QA and rekeying to be defined within a “capture, OCR and index” process defined within the process engine. Sources of capture may include Scan Manager, Fax Servers, TIFF files and I4Web distributed scanning.

Global 360 capture mechanisms including Scan Manager alongside the Recognition Service together will provide very competitively priced OCR functionality compared to a customer paying a per-click charge associated with some 3rd-party engines, especially for customers with very large and ongoing capture requirements. When customers are using Global 360 business process management engines already for their broader business processes this has the added advantage that they do not also need to learn to develop 3rd-party capture processes, which many customers believe represents additional complex.

The Recognition Service has the following features:

• Full page OCR

• Define zones for forms OCR

• Map text recognized in specific zones to fields in Case360

• Barcode recognition (a range of barcode types is available) in specific zones

• Process activity for triggering recognition

• Runs on dedicated Windows server – scalable through the addition of servers

• Embeds the best of breed Nuance OCR engine

• May be used in workflows capturing documents with Global 360 Scan Manager, Imaging for Windows, Imaging for the Web, Fax Servers, file capture and third-party capture tools

Updates and hotfixes (patches) for File360 (formerly KoVIS)

July/August 2008 page 28

Download type Description

Cumulative update v5.0.8 Contains all KoVIS v5.0.0 client patches from SP8 until 11-Jul-2008.

Cumulative update v5.2.1 Contains all KoVIS v5.2.0 client patches from SP1 until 11-Jul-2008.

Hotfixes 24356 & 24632 NOTE: The KoVIS 11-Jul-08 Cumulative Update v5.2.1 must be installed before these patches. PN24356 – After Make Suffix was selected, the ImageViewer window cleared and just displayed grey instead of the document image. PN24632 – Microfilm Roll and frame information from the IDX.DAT file was not being written to the database when batches were indexed using InBasket or Data Entry. It was working correctly using Database Engine.

KoVIS v5.0.8 PN24871 Enhancement Hotfix

The KoVIS 11-Jul-08 Cumulative Update v5.0.8 must be installed before this patch. When dbEngine has a problem processing a document, it creates an Error Batch and adds the problem document to it. In dbEngine, the User Exits are called before the checking of the template fields for things like Required Fields and such that would cause a problem. This means that a User Exit that passes information out to an external database would not have recorded that the document was not in fact indexed. This enhancement adds the Master ID information to what is already recorded in the dbEngine log. The Master ID can then be used to find the records that need to be purged.

KoVIS v5.2.1 PN24871 Enhancement Patch

The KoVIS 11-Jul-08 Cumulative Update v5.2.1 must be installed before this patch. When dbEngine has a problem processing a document, it creates an Error Batch and adds the problem document to it. In dbEngine, the User Exits are called before the checking of the template fields for things like Required Fields and such that would cause a problem. This means that a User Exit that passes information out to an external database would not have recorded that the document was not in fact indexed. This enhancement adds the Master ID information to what is already recorded in the dbEngine log. The Master ID can then be used to find the records that need to be purged.

Hotfixes for Keyflow No updates since the last Newsletter

Hotfixes for Scan Manager The following hotfixes all apply to Scan Manager 1.0.4.

Hotfix # Synopsis of issues resolved

2 Intermittent use of incorrect default data was caused by premature enabling of and clicking on the Scan button (or menu pick) while initializing the selected batch definition. These buttons/items have been disabled until initialization is complete.

3 Inability to Import large .DAT files caused by 32K Windows function limitation has been corrected. Incorrect enabling/disabling of fields on the New Destination form for Process360 has been corrected.

4 Error messages for greater-than-50-character DocType, Destination and BatchDef names is now consistent and occurs at UI time, i.e. unexpected database error messages will no longer occur. Batch/Open dialog user interface is now more consistent with other Windows dialogs, using "Open" instead of "OK" and correctly enabling and disabling buttons based on batch status. No longer displaying folder info for non-folder Execute360 batches (consistent with Case360 UI). Eliminated unexpected reset of the FileScan Simulation/File Import setting to "INI File", which was happening whenever a non-disk Kofax scanner was selected and its settings changed. Scan Manager now supports all of the hook script functions listed below, corresponding to either right-click or menu/button functions in the Scan Manager application. A separate .DOC file has been included with this hotfix containing documentation of the new script functions.

5 New INI file SCAN section value "ResetScannerOnScan" (true/false) has been added in order to force reset of problem scanners such as the IL500 after each Batch Scan operation is performed.

6 Image Processing settings (barcode, deskew, etc.) for the default batch definition and scanner source were not being loaded properly at Scan Manager startup time. This has been corrected.

7 Modified Hotfix 5 to disable display of the Kofax "reset" dialog box, and also moved the reset operation to before the Batch Scan, to avoid user processing delay at scan completion.

8 A new INI file SCAN section setting, “ResetScannerOnSettingsChange", will issue a reset of the current scanner whenever a new set of scanner settings is loaded or when the settings are explicitly changed by the user (Scanner/Settings).

NOTE: All service packs, hotfixes and patches are available through the Download section of our Global 360 Support Portal. If you have any questions, please contact your local support team. (Contact Information is listed on page 41.)

Case360 Support Statement Case360 10.1.01 (soon to be 10.2) is the most recent version of the Case360/Case Manager product line. Global 360's policy is to support the current major version and the "one back" major version. Version 9.2 is the "one back" version.

The lifecycle for Case Manager 9.1 ended on December 31, 2007, at which point support terminated. Customers still running version 9.1 should contact Global 360 Support immediately to evaluate options for moving to supported versions of the product.

Should customers move to to 10.1.01 or directly to 10.2? Case360 10.2 was labeled as a minor release update to 10.x, to reflect the level of new capabilities that are included. For current Case360 10.x customers an upgrade to 10.1.01 or 10.2 is identical to a Service Pack upgrade. No production data schema changes have been made and no alterations have been made to current APIs or published UI integration points.

Case360 10.2 incorporates significant upgrades and quality feedback from the customers that have upgraded to previous 10.x versions. Therefore it is highly recommended that customers move directly to Case360 10.2 from earlier versions. Customers that have deployed Case360 10.0 should consider planning upgrades to 10.2 to ensure that they have access to the most current management and support enhancements and the many new capabilities that are valuable for new applications.

Case360 10.1.01 and above - All Upgrades Require New License Keys In the release of Case360 10.1.01 in November 2007, the mechanism for distributing and enabling the use of Content Brokers and Storage Managers (also known as Data Managers) changed to simplify distribution and improve software reliability. Since every Case360 instance uses at least one form of storage, typically Magnetic, any upgrades to Case360 10.1.01 require customers to request new license keys.

Storage Manager / Data Manager Since version 10.1.01, all Case360 Storage Manager (also known as Data Manager) components are built into the Case360 product and are delivered preinstalled in the core product. For version 10.1.01 and above, customers running Case360 should request new software license keys, selecting the appropriate Storage Manager / Data Manager options to enable the software on the server. No additional software installation is required, and previous versions of Storage Manager / Data Manager media should not be installed on Case360 versions 10.1.01 and above.

For versions prior to Case360 10.1.01, the Case360 Storage Manager for EMC Centera, Case360 Storage Manager for NetApp Snaplock and Case360 Storage Manager for Optical products are delivered on separate media for installation. Customers running earlier versions of Case360 with these components should continue to use the appropriate installation media for their version. If necessary, Storage Manager media for earlier versions of Case360 can still be ordered separately.

Content Broker Since version 10.1.01, Case360 Content Broker components are built into the Case360 and Service Broker products and are delivered preinstalled in the core product. Custom implemented Content Broker implementations continue to be installed separately. For version 10.1.01 and above, customers who have ordered Content Broker products should request new software license keys, selecting the appropriate Content Broker options, to enable the software on the server. No additional software installation is required, and previous versions of Content Broker media should not be installed on Case360 and Service Broker versions 10.1.01 and above.

July/August 2008 page 31

Prior to version 10.1.01, the Case360 Content Broker products are delivered on separate media for installation. Customers running earlier versions of Case360 should continue to use the appropriate installation media their version. If necessary, Content Broker media for earlier versions of Case360 can still be ordered separately.

Support of Case Manager 9.1 Support for Case Manager 9.1 ended on December 31, 2007.

Customers still running Case Manager 9.1 are strongly recommended to work with Global 360 Support and PSO to complete upgrades as soon as possible. As stated above, Case Manager 9.1 applications may require some custom development and custom user interfaces to be reworked. New Case360 documentation contains a significant amount of new information on product ‘Significant Changes' that can help with upgrade planning for 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0 deployments. This information is available in the Case360 documentation and Support can provide it separately if required. Case360 customers still waiting to upgrade from 9.1 should consult Global 360 Support immediately to evaluate options for moving to supported versions of the product.

Execute360 Support Policy The Global 360 product support policy provides support for the current major version and the "one back" major version. The current major version of Execute360 is 10.0; G360 Enterprise EX 9.21 is the "one back" version. Global 360 has an extensive roadmap planned for Execute360 10.0 and continues to maintain Enterprise EX 9.21

The following support statements are defined here:

• VMWare Support

• Microsoft Vista Support

• Execute360 10.0

• Supported Components

• Other Retiring Components and Platforms

• Server Localization

VMWare Support Execute360 Server 10.0 has been certified to operate at high volumes on VMWare ESX 3.5 Server. Testing results showed no performance issues, and each virtual machine performed as if it were installed on a native host with a similar configuration.

Global 360 now supports Execute360 10.0 Server and Enterprise EX 9.21 Server and Archive Manager 9.21 on VMWare ESX 3.5 and above.

Global 360 supports Enterprise EX 9.21 Client, Server and Archive Manager, and Execute360 10.0 Server on VMWare Workstation 6 under moderate loads.

Global 360 is able to support to customers running in a VMWare environment, with the caveat that administration, configuration or sizing advice cannot be offered for this environment. Customers deploying Execute360 in a VMWare environment are expected to be skilled in deploying, configuring and troubleshooting VMWare based systems.

Customers are entitled to run EX 6.0 in a virtualized environment such as VMWare if they have the skills and experience to do so. Global 360 is unable to support customers in the configuration of this environment or in issues encountered. For EX 6.0, all software issues need to be replicated in a supported native Windows environment before reporting to Global 360 Support.

Microsoft Vista Support Execute360 (EX) Client 9.21 (including all APIs and components) is now supported with Microsoft Vista and customers are entitled to use it in production. The use of the MSI Installer for client installations should be used for a fully certified Vista installation.

July/August 2008 page 32

Certification was completed with ServicePack 13. No patches are required for the Client Components and Imaging for Windows (embedded version 2.7), however, updates to Workdesk were required to achieve certification; WorkDesk was corrected to utilize unsecured temporary storage locations for transient information.

Page 33: Global 360 Newsletter: VMware, Inc. · Global 360 Information Outsourcing Services (IOS) provides high-volume, highly confidential and secure conversion services to companies with

Note that certification of Execute360 Client with Vista does not imply certification for Imaging for Windows (2.7 or 2.8) in an environment outside of the Execute360 9.21 client environment.

The future release of Execute360 client 10.0 will also be certified with Vista.

Execute360 Release 10.0 - General Availability The June 2008 release for General Availability (GA) of Execute360 Server 10.0 means that the lifecycle for G360 Enterprise EX Server 6.0/6.1 is drawing to a close. Support for EX Server 6.0/6.1, first introduced in Q4 2002, will continue through December 31, 2008, at which point support will be terminated.

Customers and partners who have been running the Execute360 10.0 Limited Availability version are encouraged to upgrade their installations to Execute360 10.0 SP1, according to the installation instructions in the 10.0 GA release readme document.

• Insight360 Release 2.0 Summary – BPM technology is rapidly evolving into mainstream status. However, there are still two barriers blocking the wholesale adoption of BPM software that must be addressed: the mitigation of risk traditionally associated with adopting new technology, and the assurance that actual results of process automation or change will meet expectations for operational improvement. To address these industry challenges, Global 360 introduces Release 2.0 of Insight360…

• Process360 Release 9.5 Summary – The Process360 9.5 release is characterized by a number of new features and enhancements designed to further Process360’s BPM reach within the enterprise. Highlighting this release is Process360’s integration with Microsoft BizTalk. By combining the advanced automation and connectivity capabilities of BizTalk with Process360, Global 360 is able to extend BPM from the desktop to enterprise systems, and to customers, partners, and suppliers…

• Process360 Scalability – Global 360 Process360 is a highly scalable document and process management application built on the Microsoft platform. While a system can run entirely within a single Windows server, a full enterprise system has additional processing units to support the required storage capacity and transaction rates. As large-scale implementations have needs specific to the application, the Process360 configuration can be optimized with specific processing units that provide the required processing power and capacity…

• Case360 Release 10.1 Summary – As customers advance beyond traditional content and workflow applications into mainstream BPM, seamless integration of data and content becomes critical. Traditional document workflow platforms are ill equipped to support the customer’s evolution to BPM.
