This Readme document contains information about the installation of this package and about restrictions in support of IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.3 iFix 6

Readme for: IBM Daeja ViewONE

Product or component release: Version 5.0.3

Update name: iFix 6

Prerequisites before installing IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.3 iFix 6

You must have IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.3 installed.

Before you install IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.3 iFix 6:

Installing IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.3 iFix 6

IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.3 iFix 6 is provided as a compressed file containing the files that are needed to update Version 5.0.3 for all supported platforms.

To install this package:

  1. Unzip the compressed file into the directory where IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.3 was installed. This action overwrites all the files that need updates in the client/v1files directory and the server/WEB-INF/lib directory.

  2. As this package contains all the files required for all platforms, you can remove the files that are included for platforms that are not relevant to your environment. Change to the server/WEB-INF/lib directory under the Daeja ViewONE installation directory and delete the platform specific jars that are not relevant.

    There are platform specific jar files:

  3. Make a backup of the Daeja ViewONE 5.0.3 files in the relevant locations in your web application server. For the server files that will be the web application's WEB-INF/lib directory. For the client, it will be where the package client files were copied to. For example v1files directory in the web application.

  4. Copy the client and server files into the relevant places in your web application and ensure that the application is deployed as per your web app server specific requirements.
  5. Verify that the correct version of IBM Daeja ViewONE is deployed to the web application server. This can be done by displaying the About Box in Daeja ViewONE (Standard, Professional and Virtual) by clicking on the ViewONE logo in the bottom right corner. Verify that the version number 5.0.3 iFix 6 is listed at the bottom of the About Box. To check the version of the Server Module, display the Image Properties dialog in Daeja ViewONE Professional when displaying a PDF or TIFF image and the Server property should be 10081. The Image Properties dialog can be displayed by pressing Shift-i.

Note: To upgrade to iFix 6, please ensure that both the client and the server are updated.

Removing IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.3 iFix 6

If you want to remove the iFix 6 from your installation and revert back to the original 5.0.3 version, you need to replace the files in you installation directories with the backed up files, then copy the files into the correct places in your web application server.

If you use the IBM Daeja ViewONE Version 5.0.3 uninstallation program to remove IBM Daeja ViewONE 5.0.3 and the iFix 6 from your system, then some of the files may be left on your file system and you will need to remove them manually.

IO25405 SOME PDF DOCUMENTS CONTAINING LARGE QUANTITIES OF VECTOR GRAPHICS HAVE A HIGH LOAD TIME

Some PDF documents that contain a large number of vector graphics may take an excessively long time to load.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** The payload of the Document Changed Event contains actions in the incorrect order for movePage

The JSON payload returned with event 84, Document Changed, contained the actions for RemovePage and CopyPage in the incorrect order. The correct order is a CopyPage action before the RemovePage action.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO25419 PDF DOCUMENT RENDERS WITH INCORRECT CHARACTERS ON AIX6.1

Some PDF documents render with incorrect characters when viewed on AIX servers. This is caused by the required font data being missing or unable to be found on the system.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** Low resolution display at the bottom of a page after scrolling

When changing from a thumbs only view to full page the document is displayed in high resolution at the top of the page, but when the user scrolls down, using the cursor key or the mouse wheel, the bottom of the page is displayed in a low resolution.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO26174 SOME PDF DOCUMENTS CONTAINING INVALID EXTRA ENTRIES RESULTS IN A FORMAT EXCEPTION

IO25112 CERTAIN IMAGE VIEWING MODES ARE NOT STICKY BETWEEN PAGES OF A DOCUMENT

Zoom to 100% and enhance modes are not maintained on changing page. When a user selects 'Zoom to 100%' or an enhance mode setting and changes page the setting reverts to the default value for pages not yet viewed.
'Zoom to 100%' will now be maintained across all pages viewed whilst it is selected.

When an image enhancement setting is selected, it will be used on all pages that have not previously been viewed. Pages that have already been viewed will be displayed with the enhancement setting that they were last viewed at (the settings are lost on closing the document).

As a result of the two interface improvements the JavaScript API also has the following enhancements:
setScale(int scale) will now accept a value of 3, meaning 'Zoom to 100%'.
getEnhanceMode() has been added and will return the current enhance mode set on the viewer.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO25516 WORD DOCUMENT FOOTER IS OVERLAPPING AND MISALIGNED

Using Microsoft Office module the Word document footer is overlapping and misaligned.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO25490 TIF IMAGE DISPLAYS INCORRECTLY WITH PORTION OF IMAGE DUPLICATED OR SWAPPED

When viewing some tiff files the image displayed shows part of the image repeated or swapped with an adjacent part of the image. This will only occur at the end of a page.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO26061 VIEWER CACHE FOLDER GETS FILLED UP WITH OPEN FILE HANDLES FOR LANGUAGE RESOURCE FILES

If there is a mixture of languages in use across browser setting and viewer setting, multiple instances of the language files are downloaded into the v1files/viewone/rep folder (such as en.dat or he.dat) and not closed out correctly resulting in server running out of open file handles.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** DOCUMENTS CAN BE SAVED LOCALLY.

This feature improves the user experience by providing a button to perform the save action.
The availability of this feature in the UI is controlled by using the fileButtonSave parameter. Setting this parameter to 'true' enables this feature, while setting a value of 'false' disables it. The default value is 'true'.
Note: If the browser is configured for 'auto download' or 'disable download prompt', then the user will not be presented with a save dialog.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO26143 TEXT RENDERING OF PDF DOCUMENTS IN LOW ZOOM LEVEL IS NOT CRISP

In certain situations the page size calculation might be slightly incorrect which results in a blurry effect on rendered text when the zoom level is low.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** Page scale buttons do not stay synchronized with the displayed view

The page scale buttons, 'fit to window width', 'fit to window height' and 'fit to window' control the size of the page displayed. When the page scale is changed and then the user views another page the selected scale is maintained, but the page scale button does not always show the same setting. For example, the page may be displayed at 'fit to window width', but the 'fit to window' button is selected.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO26095 CHANGE OF PAGE NUMBER FORMAT IS NOT HONORED WHEN RENDERING WORD DOCUMENT

When a Word document has two distinct numbered sections, for example, pages i,ii,iii,iv,v followed by (in same document) pages 1,2,3,4,5, the pages are displayed with a single numerical format, for example, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** New JavaScript API call, getModeState(), retrieves the current state during Document Building.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** The Document Changed Event, now contains a Json payload that specifies the action that caused the document change.

This feature allows integrators to track changes made to a document as they are made rather than just at build time. The Document Changed event, 84, now includes a Json payload that contains the action(s) that caused that particular change in the document. For example, movePage(1, 5) will cause a Document Changed event that includes a Json payload containing two actions; A Remove pages action for page 1 and a copy pages action for page 1 to move to position 5.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** EML DOCUMENTS ARE DISPLAYING EXTENDED LINE BEYOND LEFT MARGIN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** Unable to view client logging

When clicking the 'Log Console' button the user receives a browser alert stating that there is an 'XML request error: Not Found (404)', instead of displaying the client log output.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual 5.0.3 iFix003 users

** New move page JavaScript API

This feature allows integrators to move a page via a JavaScript API. The move page API is structured as follows movePage(int pageFrom, int pageTo) where pageFrom is the page we are going to move and pageTo is the destination point for this page. For example, movePage(1, 5) will start with a page list of '1, 2, 3, 4, 5'; and end with a page list of '2, 3, 4, 5, 1'. Once a move operation is complete, a single DOCUMENT_CHANGED event (84) will be fired. Annotations are moved with the page. This API is only available when the viewer is in Document Builder mode.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO25610 DAEJA VIRTUAL: CANNOT HIDE "SHOW ANNOTATIONS" BUTTON ON STATUS BAR.

Setting <param name="annotationHideButtons" value="show" /> does not hide 'Hide annotations' button.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual 5.0.3 iFix 3

** HTML parameter annotateEdit blocks the JavaScript API method addAnnotation

The annotateEdit parameter should only prevent user interaction with the annotations. A separate parameter, annotationJavascriptExtensions is used to allow the use of the API method addAnnotation(String).

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** When the keepScroll parameter is set to true large documents may cause the viewer to become inoperable

The keepScroll parameter enables the scroll position to be maintained on page changes, but when it used with large documents the viewer can become inoperable, and may cause an Out of memory error rendering the browser window inoperable.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

Work around: Remove the keepScroll parameter from the viewer configuration.

IO26024 SCRIPT SRC AND HOSTING PAGE LOCATION MISMATCH PREVENTS VIEWER STARTUP

If the <script> tag pointing to the viewer code location (viewone.js) references a host, port, or path that differs from the location of the hosting HTML page (ie. the location in the browser URL) then the viewer will fail to start. This is due to further viewer code being loaded via path calculated on the server rather than a relative path calculated on the client.
Note: Loading viewer code, which is JavaScript based, from a different location to the hosting page may be subject to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

Navigation User Interface enhancement Toolbar page information label includes the total page count

The page information label in the top toolbar clearly shows at a glance the current page number and the total page count of the document that the user is currently viewing.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

** Changes to the color of arrow annotations are not reflected in the User Interface

Changing the color of an arrow annotation using the color dialog picker from the annotation context menu toolbar does not reflect the change in the rendering of the annotation in the User Interface. The color information is saved correctly.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

IO25796 PRINT DIALOG "ALL" OPTION IS GREYED OUT

The print dialog 'All' option under the 'Pages to print' section is greyed out and cannot be selected. If the user chooses the 'Current', or 'Pages' options before pressing 'Prepare File', they will be unable to select the 'All' option for the same or subsequent documents.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users

Work around: Clearing local storage will clear the previously selected print option and allow the viewer to default back to the 'All' option

Version information in build.txt

The Build Number associated with this package is contained in build.txt, which is located in the client/v1files directory. Historically this contained the full product version number but now it only contains the ViewONE internal build number.

jiBurner API Deprecation notice

As per the next MOD release of IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual, the jiburner API is going to be deprecated. Details of the API can be found in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTPHR_5.0.3/com.ibm.viewone.developing/dvodv000.htm and https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTPHR_5.0.3/com.ibm.viewone.developing/permredact/ji/burn/package-summary.html

Document Builder

Document Builder uses repository-document and repository-annotations when the document is created

The document will be built with the source document as it is saved in the repository. The document is also built by using the annotations that are saved in the repository, unless annotations have been edited. The following scenarios explain the effects of this behavior:

Scenario 1:
  1. Two instances of the viewer are opened in document builder mode
  2. A document is loaded from a repository into each viewer window
  3. The document builder user copies a page from the document in viewer window 1 and pastes the page in to the document in viewer window 2
  4. While the document builder user is working on the documents, another user or system process alters one or both of the master documents
  5. The document builder user builds the modified document
  6. Because one or both of the master documents were altered during the document builder session, the built document contains the pages from the latest saved version of the master documents

Result: The document currently displayed in the viewer differs from the newly built document in the system. To prevent this issue occurring, the master document should be locked or checked out when it is retrieved for document builder.

Note Versioned documents will not be affected by this issue. This will only affect situations where the document that a url refers to has changed.

Scenario 2:
  1. Two instances of the viewer are opened in document builder mode
  2. A document with annotations is loaded from a repository into each viewer window
  3. The document builder user copies a page from the document in viewer window 1 and pastes the page in to the document in viewer window 2
  4. While the document builder user is working on the document, another user or system process alters one or more of the annotations used in one or both master documents
  5. The document builder user builds the modified document
  6. The built document contains the pages from the latest saved version of the master documents. For pages where the document builder user has not modified annotations in the viewer, the annotations for those pages comes from the latest saved annatations version. For pages that the user has modified the annotations in the viewer, those pages will contain annotations as seen in the viewer which may not contain the latest changes

Result: The document currently displayed in the viewer differs from the newly built document in the system. To prevent this issue occurring, the master document should be locked or checked out when it is retrieved for document builder.

Restore annotations is not supported in document builder mode

When in document builder mode, the option to restore annotations is not supported. The following scenario explains the effects of this behavior:

Scenario 1:

  1. Viewer is loaded in document builder mode
  2. A document is loaded from a repository
  3. Annotations are created by the user
  4. Restore annotations button is disabled
  5. Javascript API reloadAnnotations() is disabled

Result: The user cannot reload the annotations from the server. Newly created annotations and edited annotation edits remain.

To restore any newly created annotations, the user must take the following steps:

  1. Remove the page on which annotations are present that you want to restore
  2. Put the page with the original annotations on the clipboard (cut/copy)
  3. Paste the page into the new document location

Daeja ViewONE as an Integrated solution

When running Daeja ViewONE 5.0.3 as a component inside IBM Content Navigator, the minumum supported version of ICN is 3.0.3

Known problems, issues, and limitations

As problems are discovered and resolved, the IBM Support team updates the Support site. By searching the Support site, you can quickly find workarounds or solutions to problems.

The following links open queries for IBM Daeja ViewONE documents on the IBM Support site:

Any restrictions and/or limitations of the base or fix pack release and any subsequent ifixes, still apply to this release unless stated otherwise.

Comparison with native renderers

IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual is designed to support as many file types as possible. However, the product is not able to render every type of file with the same accuracy as native applications, such as Microsoft Word. The flexibility of the viewer can lead to differences in the way that the documents are displayed between the native application and the viewer. The severity of the differences varies depending on the complexity of the file type. In particular, PDF files and Microsoft Office files are difficult to render with complete accuracy in a universal viewer.

Excel spreadsheet load times

Excel spreadsheet load times are impacted based on the size and complexity of the Excel document. In order to improve load times, IBM Daeja ViewONE does support tuning capabilities, such as breaking up the Excel document presentation into multiple pages. Please be aware, as this behaviour may not be optimal for your end user viewing experience.

Prompt to save redacted documents uses hexidecimal filename

After a document is permenantly redacted and the user selects Download, they are normally prompted to save the document with a file name based on the original un-redacted document. For instance mypresentation.ppt will default to mypresentation.tif. In this version the user might be prompted with a filename such as 41f96b20b97f431ebd4efd85245f1f72.tif instead. The user can still change the name to something more meaningful.

No pageN support in document builder mode

If a pageN document is open in the viewer, the user cannot switch to document builder mode. The user remains in the edit mode in which the document was opened. The following scenario explains the effects of this behavior:

Scenario 1:

  1. Viewer is loaded in either annotation or redaction mode
  2. A pageN document is loaded from a repository
  3. A user attempts to switch to document builder mode
  4. The user receives a message and remains in annotation or redaction mode

Result: This switch is not permitted and the user will stay in their current mode.

To enter document builder mode, the user must close the pageN document and then switch to document builder mode.

No docN support in document builder mode

DocN documents are not supported in conjunction with document builder mode. The combination of these features may result in unusual and/or unexpected behavior.
