NSM 2.0 Update History

eDirectory Platform

2.00.35 — April 11, 2008 The following issues were address since version 2.00.08

Fix to dumpconfig for very large sets of vault rules
Abend fix in engine for large vault rules
Timing fix for -663 error when loading fsfengine.nlm
Fix for rename issue where CN of user does not match the directory specified in the catalog for the user. Instead of always using the CN of the user, we use the directory specified in the catalog.

Enhancements from 2.00.08

Improved cluster handling and searching
Dumpconfig component options added
Improved caching to speed startup time. First time loading engine will take longer, but subsequent times will be faster
Server list rebuild set to 30 minutes past midnight instead of every 12 hours to avoid rebuild in peak hours
Secondary check added for logged in users or open files when wait for available sentinel is required
Debug info saved into fsfengine.txt instead of separate file
Moves where the source and destination are on the same volume use rename rather than copy and delete
A file created but not copied due to insufficient space is deleted and the event retried until successful
Additional handling in the engine to clear unwanted events

Multi-select of servers to add to Event or Sentinel list only adds first server in the list Servers with Sentinels (FSFEvent.NLM) always show up in the Event Server list even if not configured as an Event listener User move stuck during SetPolicy Removed server from proxy list if Sentinel service added to that server Backfill results shows opposite value for subcontainer analysis flag Multiple policies incorrectly associated to same object or container Added multiple delegated CopyDir for Sentinel delegation Added User Move schedules to Dump Config listings User policy modifications may not save due to incorrect FDN syntax Enhancements from 2.00 Unloading FSFEngine during a CopyDir process will now allow the NLM to unload without waiting for the copy process to finish Storage Analysis now shows kilobyte precision in file sizes Health Check operation is much quicker Added Sentinels to the Dump Config listings
