Readme for: IBM Daeja ViewONE
Product or component release: Version 5.0.4
Update name: iFix 5
You must have IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.4 installed.
Before you install IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.4 iFix 5:
IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.4 iFix 5 is provided as a compressed file containing the files that are needed to update Version 5.0.4 for all supported platforms.
To install this package:
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:
Make a backup of the Daeja ViewONE 5.0.4 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.
Note: To upgrade to iFix 5, please ensure that both the client and the server are updated.
If you want to remove the iFix 5 from your installation and revert back to the original 5.0.4 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 5.0.4 uninstallation program to remove IBM Daeja ViewONE 5.0.4 and the iFix 5 from your system, then some of the files may be left on your file system and you will need to remove them manually.
IBM Daeja ViewONE comes with a Toolkit rich in capabilities that enables advanced integration and customization of the viewer by using HTML parameters and JavaScript API methods. For more information on the developer’s guide refer to:

** Memory usage on the server increased
The document expiry time for server side document rendering is configured using the wrong parameter name and default value. The default value should be 120 seconds, but was modified to be 30 minutes. This could potentially cause memory issues for some users due to the document being retained in memory for the longer period than is necessary. The ability to customise the value is also compromised as the name used to retrieve a custom value is incorrect.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users of release 5.0.4 iFix 4 only
Recommended actions: Upgrade to 5.0.4 iFix 5
IO26074 ANNOTATION SAVE BUTTON IS NOT CORRECTLY ENABLED ON TEXT ANNOTATION CREATION WHEN ANNOTATIONS ARE ALREADY PRESENT ON THE DOCUMENT
If a text annotation is added to a document, the annotation save button should be enabled as soon as the first text character has been entered into the annotation bounding box. However, if there are already annotations present on the document, the behavior changes and depending on the value of the HTML parameter allowTextRubberband you will see that the save button either gets enabled directly before any text has been entered or does not get enabled until you complete text entry and click on the document away from the annotation.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users
** ANNOTATION TOOLBAR DISABLED AFTER PASTE TO EMPTY DOCUMENT
The annotation toolbar may not become enabled when pasting a page in to an empty document. This occurs in Document Builder mode with the HTML parameter 'annotateEdit' set to true.

** New setPageSelection API Call for Document Builder Mode
New API call, setPageSelection allows for the ability to select multiple pages via JavaScript Call.
setPageSelection(activePage, pageSelection)
will select the pages specified by pageSelection
and will set the active page to activePage
.
pageSelection
is a JSON input in the form;
{"selectedPages":[1,3,5,10]}
For example;
setPageSelection(3,{"selectedPages":[1,3,5,10]})
will result in pages 1,3,5 and 10 being selected with page 3 being the active page.
If setPageSelection(3,{"selectedPages":[1,3,"5-10"]})
is called then;
pages 1,3,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 would be selected with page 3 being the active page.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users of Document Builder
IO26356 MEMORY LEAK CAUSED BY CONFIGURATION REGISTRATIONS NOT BEING CLEARED

New API call that allows multipage deletions in one operation.
deleteDocumentPages(firstPageToBeDeleted, lastPageToBeDeleted)
will delete the pages between and including, those specified by firstPageToBeDeleted
lastPageToBeDeleted
.
Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users of Document Builder
** Page selection updated event (87) now contains pages selected in a JSON payload.
The page selection updated event (87) now contains a JSON payload listing the pages currently selected and whether
the pipe is selected. If the pipe is true then any insertions will occur prior to the page number of the selection.
For example, if pages 1,3 and 10 are selected in the viewer, event 87 would contain the following JSON;
{"selectedPages":[{"page":{"pageNumber":1, "pipe":false}},{"page":{"pageNumber":3, "pipe":false}},{"page":{"pageNumber":10, "pipe":false}}]}
If the pipe before page 1 is selected in the viewer, the event payload would be;
{"selectedPages":[{"page":{"pageNumber":1, "pipe":true}}]}
If a page was added with this selection, the new page would be number 1, if the pipe was false, it would be page number 2.

The Invert feature is to be deprecated from the next release. This includes all associated parameters, GUI features and API methods. The invert feature is defined in the following articles: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/search/invert?scope=SSTPHR_5.0.4
As of this release of IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual, the jiburner API is deprecated. Details of the API can be found in: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTPHR_5.0.4/com.ibm.viewone.developing/dvodv000.htm and https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTPHR_5.0.4/com.ibm.viewone.developing/permredact/ji/burn/package-summary.html
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:
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.
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.
When in document builder mode, the option to restore annotations is not supported. The following scenario explains the effects of this behavior:
Scenario 1:
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:
When running Daeja ViewONE 5.0.4 as a component inside IBM Content Navigator, the minumum supported version of ICN is 3.0.3
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.
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 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.
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.
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:
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.
DocN documents are not supported in conjunction with document builder mode. The combination of these features may result in unusual and/or unexpected behavior.
Document builder is able to support TIFF and PDF files with the exception of email attachments. TIFF and PDF files that are attached to emails cannot be used as source files for a new document.
PDF files with access control flags set by the owner of the document cannot be used as a source document for document building where they require a password to view the document or where the owner has indicated that the content may not be copied.
Annotations that have the semi-transparent property set to true, the transparent property set to true and a fill color set can appear to blend the line and fill colors near the edges.
Annotations that have the transparent property set to true and a fill color set to black are not printed transparent .
