Readme for: IBM Daeja ViewONE

Product or component release: Version 5.0.4

Update name: iFix 5

Prerequisites before installing IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.4 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:

Installing IBM Daeja ViewONE, 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:

  1. Unzip the compressed file into the directory where IBM Daeja ViewONE, Version 5.0.4 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 5.0.4 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.

  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 5.0.4 iFix 5 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 12631. The Image Properties dialog can be displayed by pressing Shift-i.

Note: To upgrade to iFix 5, please ensure that both the client and the server are updated.

Removing IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.4 iFix 5

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.

Fixes included in IBM Daeja ViewONE, 5.0.4 iFix 5

The following APARs are fixed in this product release for customers who have direct entitlement to IBM Daeja ViewONE. If you are using IBM Daeja ViewONE made available to you as part of another IBM product, these fixes might not be available immediately. Contact IBM Support for information about IBM products that integrate IBM Daeja ViewONE.

See release notes for more information:


** 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


Fixes released in previous versions



IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual 5.0.4 iFix 4


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.

Affected users: IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual users


** 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

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.

Additional Release Notes

Deprecation of INVERT feature

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

jiBurner API Deprecation notice

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

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 annotations 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 5.0.4 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.

Document Builder supported file type limitations

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.

Rendering of the semi transparency appears to blend between the outline and the fill

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.

Annotation with fill color set to black and set to transparent are not printed transparent

Annotations that have the transparent property set to true and a fill color set to black are not printed transparent .
