Product: CometServerProducts802.exe
Version: 8.02
Date: April 25, 2008
The 7.xx and 8.xx versions of the file server require Comet 2005.371 or higher and do not support type "S" files.
The following changes have been made in this release:
CSecSrv.exe:
No changes were made in this release.
CFileSrv:
1. Corrected a problem that may have prevented the QDIR cache refresh from working
on directories configured with UNC names.
2. Corrected a problem that was preventing ERASE and RENAME from properly detecting if the file
was open outside of Comet. As a result it was possible to end up removing a qdir entry and
then having the actual file erase fail. This could cause E99 on a subsequent CREATE.
CFAMNetServe:
1. Now correctly reports the peer address/port to the log.
Changes in previous releases:
Version 8.01
CSecSrv.exe:
No changes were made in this release.
CFileSrv:
No changes were made in this release.
CFAMNetServe:
1. Enhanced logging messages were added to help troubleshoot problems.
2. A problem in the disconnect logic introduced in version 8.00 was corrected.
Version 8.00
CSecSrv.exe:
1. Added lookahead logic for CometAnywhere licenses when doing "Update License".
If there are users currently logged in using an older version of CometAnywhere
than is licensed on the new certificate, the certificate will assign the newer
licenses to the existing users. This eliminates having to log all users off of
the host before updating the license. This is the same logic that is used when a
new certificate is loaded at startup and a user requests an older version of
Comet Anywhere than is licensed. This convenience is for subscriber certificates only.
CFileSrv:
1. Changes to support new BatchFstatEx function in CometLib which is used by the
new DataExpress.
CFAMNetServe:
1. If client will be polled every 2 minutes. If there's no response within
30 seconds the client will be logged out and disconnected. Previously this
was done after only 30 seconds of inactivity.
Version 7.05
CSecSrv.exe:
1. The license certificate may now be named using the plug number as an alternative to
"license.txt". For example it may be called "00010150.txt" for plug number 00010150.
The security server will look for the plug number file first, then for license.txt.
This may be useful if you need to store the licenses for multiple plugs on your server.
CFileSrv:
No changes were made in this release.
CFAMNetServe:
1. We believe we corrected the problem experienced by Windows 2003 Server SP2 users who
were receiving inappropriate timeouts and/or disconnects. The symptom of this problem
was E99, E61, and/or E9B.
2. Corrected a problem detecting logouts. This was causing the connection counts to be
incorrect.
Version 7.04
CSecSrv.exe:
No changes were made in this release.
CFileSrv:
1. Corrected a problem preventing a Comet directory from being accessed if
that directory was shared.
2. Added a dialog option to clear the current log file while users are active.
Click "File" then "Clear Log".
3. The log file now rotates daily for 7 days.
Version 7.03
CSecSrv.exe:
No changes were made in this release.
CFileSrv:
1. Files with the read-only attribute set can now be opened and read. Previously an
E99 was returned.
2. Additional information is now added to the log file if a CREATE fails with E99.
CFAMNetServe:
1. Changes were made to the wait mechanism for CFileServe to allow more time for functions
to complete.
2. A problem has been corrected that could have caused CFAMNetServe to crash if many
requests came in at the same time.
3. The logging has been changed to show the client IP and to rotate through log filenames
each day (as a message is logged). Also, the log window can be enabled by adding
"-ShowLog" to the command line in CometNTService.ini.
Version 7.02
CSecSrv.exe:
1. Warning message boxes will now be displayed if either the XAP license or Comet subscription
will be expiring within 30 days.
2. New CbSetup for USB dongle support on Microsoft's Vista operating system.
CFileSrv:
1. Now stores registry settings under HKEY_CURRENT_USER if the user does not have write
privileges to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
2. E54 will now be issued instead of E9A if DELETE is attempted on a non-keyed file.
Version 7.01
CSecSrv.exe:
1. Added Login message to log file that includes nodename and IP address.
2. Only products for which there is a license will be shown in the "View"
"In Use" display.
3. A production problem which prevented version 6.02 from supporting Comet 2007
products has been corrected.
CFileSrv:
1. Corrected the total number of partitions reported in "C" record of snapshot dump.
Previously it was one less than it should have been.
2. Added some additional diagnostic messages to the log file and display.
Version 7.00
CFileSrv:
1. Corrected a problem that would have prevented a user who had LOCKed a file from
OPENing it on another LUN.
2. Corrected the download URL in the About dialog.
3. Added CFileSrv.exe's pathname to the About dialog.
CFAMNetServe:
1. Eliminated unnecessary "Buffer Overrun" messages from the log.
