Resolved Issues and Enhancements

The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Archive Manager.

Bridgehead

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST73106

The FTIAttachment worker gets a NullReferenceException with Bridgehead.


BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES)

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST72506

Attachments were not retrieved from the BlackBerry server when Exchange returned the MessageClass string as ANSI rather than Unicode. As a result, Archive Retrieve could not restore the original attachment data when these messages were stubbed.


Database

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70727

Two SQL jobs — Assign Security to New Messages and Assign Security to All Messages — run slowly and generate errors, and these jobs also generate duplicate-key errors, for example:

Server: Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Procedure PopulateMailBoxMessage, Line 91

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_MailBoxMessage'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'MailBoxMessage'. The statement has been terminated.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70769

The SQL jobs Assign Security to New Messages and Assign Security to All Messages fail to start on SQL 2000, because their stored procedures PopulateMailBoxMessageNew and PopulateMailBoxMessageAll are incompatible with SQL 2000. (The procedures call a table, sys.dm_db_file_space_usage, that does not exist in SQL 2000.)


Data Loader

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST71357

The Data Loader is unable to load XML files exported by Archive Manager 4.1.0 and earlier versions that contain embedded Contact items.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70486

Code enhancements to application checksumming inadvertently introduce errors in processing .xml attachment files:

  • An application exception that occurs when an attachment has a type of message/rfc822, but is not an embedded message.
  • An application exception that occurs when a recipient has no DisplayName.
  • A checksum validation error.

Exchange Store Manager (ESM)


Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST72340

The ESM is unable to process mail message in user mailboxes if they were tagged with a property that is normally used by the Exchange 2007 Server to identify envelope journal reports.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70586

The ESM is sometimes unable to identify messages that were eligible for exporting, stubbing, and/or deletion.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST69372

The ESM is unable to export calendar items that have attached messages with null content.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST55884

A known issue in Exchange makes the ESM unable to fetch the properties of certain "soft-deleted" items.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST69428

The ESM is unable to process messages with large numbers of attachments that have been stubbed and reconstructed and exceed the Archive Manager @Attachments property limit of 8k.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST71216

The Journal Dataloader's ESM worker crashes when it encounters a MIME journal report that is malformed instead of logging an error, bypassing the malformed report, and completing the process run.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST72525

The ESM may calculate incorrect checksums for messages if they had internet headers with no distinguishing fields, (i.e, From, To, CC, Subject and Date), and a message with no distinguishing fields already exists in the database with an earlier checksum algorithm (pre 4.1.1).

Archive Manager

4.1

ST71163

The Journal Data Loader mistakes valid TNEF for invalid in some envelope journal reports with MIME (.eml) attachments that contained TNEF (winmail.dat), causing it to crash.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST74433

When a message is stubbed, and the message has an embedded message that was archived with a pre-4.1.1 checksum, the ESM sets the @CheckSum property of the embedded message to the 4.1.1 checksum instead of the correct, pre-4.1.1 checksum. The 4.1.1 checksum is not in the database, so the Outlook form cannot reconstruct the embedded message and the stubs are broken.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST74527

When messages that were archived with a pre-4.1.1 checksum are stubbed using Archive Manager version 4.1.1.436, they are incorrectly stamped and need to be reprocessed via the ESM to be automatically repaired.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70405

A Tnefreadser.dll bug was discovered involving .eml processing errors.


Exchange Utility

Several of the Exchange Utility issues listed below were resolved by improvements to Exchange Store Manager processing. For all of the issues listed to be completely resolved, you will need to let the Exchange Store Manager complete one full pass through all user mailboxes in Exchange.

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST73110

Archive Manager

4.1

ST71354

The Restamp Stub operation of the Exchange Utility is too slow.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST67427

The Exchange Utility doesn't find and reconstruct all stubbed messages in a mailbox.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST66650

There are exceptions in the Archive Manager Event Log at reconstruction of messages with several attachments by Exchange Utility.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST74692

The Exchange Utility can't restamp stubs with large internet headers.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST66847

Sometimes after the Exchange Utility reconstructs messages, a message may remain stubbed.


Full Text Index Service (FTI)

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST80878

When the Archive Full Text Index Service process memory usage reaches the threshold value set by the Full Text Index Service Max Memory configuration file parameter, the service process is terminated abnormally. The indexing threads that are running when the process is terminated do not close the Lucene index properly, which can lead to a corrupted index.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST80847

Using the -optimize command to optimize the Full Text Index can cause index loss or corruption if the optimize operation fails.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST75048

Archive Manager

4.1

ST74992

Attachments with more than 10,000 search terms are not being loaded into the index.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70931

Insufficient memory error when optimizing the full text index (-optimize).

Archive Manager

4.1

ST76229

When a write.lock file is present in the Index message folder, restarting the FTI does not remove the lock and the write.lock file is left behind. This results in FTI errors.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST75747

The Full Text Index Service process that monitors FTIAttachmentWorker threads receives an exception that causes the FTIAttachmentworker to end abruptly.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST75539

A write.lock file is abandoned by the FTIAttachmentWorker and generates an unexpected failure.


GroupWise Store Manager (GSM)

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST71461

The GSM filters by the Modified Time date field when scanning mailboxes with a message policy that specifies an export delay. This could cause some messages that were eligible for archiving not to be archived.

Archive Manager

4.1

The GSM sets the LastRetentionDate property on the GroupWise account, even if some messages were not successfully processed.

Archive Manager

4.1

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST70063

The Search Exporter fails to export a message with an HTML message body that contains unblocked externally referenced images. The Search Exporter application log reports a "Failed to retrieve message" error.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST73893

When exporting searches with multiple instances of the Search Exporter against the same web server/web services, some attachments are mismatched. (The actual files are different than the filename/message indicates.) Archive Manager does require that concurrent exports are done from separate workstations.


Website

Product Name

Product Version

Defect ID

Problem Description

Archive Manager

4.1

ST67863

When a user is not given the Add/Edit Custom Mailbox security role on the Archive Manager Website and then performs a search that returns multiple pages of results, errors occur with the Context menu when navigating through pages of search results.

Archive Manager

4.1

ST64877

When a user is not given the Add/Edit Custom Mailbox security role on the Archive Manager Website and then performs a search that returns multiple pages of results, an error may be generated when you navigate through the search results pages multiple times. This typically occurs after navigating through 5 pages.

Archive Manager

Known Issues

The following issues are known to exist in this release of Archive Manager:


Upgrade Process

The upgrade process does not recognize prior installations of the PST Import Wizard and Search Exporter components of Archive Manager. You must manually uninstall these components before performing an upgrade..


PST Import Wizard

The PST Import Wizard does not support importing .pst files into Archive Manager mailboxes in a GroupWise environment where the owner’s username is not unique because another user exists in the same domain, with the same username, but in a different context. For example, in the following domain structure, Archive Manager will not be able to determine the correct mailbox:



Third Party Known Issues

The following is a list of third party issues known to exist at the time of this release.

Adobe IFilters

Feature

Issue

Defect ID

Adobe iFilters versions 6-8

Some PDF files cannot be indexed due to an issue with the Adobe iFilters, versions 6-8.

ST76473

The Full Text Index (FTI) reports IFilter errors because some PDF and/or XPS files cannot be indexed.

Errors associated with XPS files: These errors are typically caused by a missing XPS file viewer. Microsoft offers this one as a free download (link was current as of release date).

Errors associated with PDF files: PDF indexing errors sometimes occur when using Adobe IFilters versions 6-8 with recently enhanced FTI/FTS versions. These errors can usually be eliminated by either of these two remedies (cited download links are current as of the release date):

Quest recommends that you make sure that Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 is running. This process will install newer versions of the native Office IFilters. It is also recommended that you download and install the 2007 Office System Converter: Microsoft Filter Pack.

BlackBerry

Feature

Issue

Defect ID

Archive Retrieve

Due to an issue with BlackBerry, BlackBerry users cannot view embedded items using Archive Retrieve.
