VC/m 2.1 Release Notes |

Right software, right time, right place™
What's new?
Release 2.1 contains a number of bug fixes in various areas.
It also includes the following new functionality:
Manipulation
of read-only flag on text and binary components
VC/m can now be configured to manipulate the read-only flag on
text and binary components. By default, new installations of VC/m
will write all files as read-only, except for the master copy which will
be read-write. Existing VC/m installations can enable this feature
after upgrading by executing the following command:
>set ^%vcvc("setReadOnly")=1
On UNIX platforms the default mode settings for all files is 666 for read/write
and 444 for read-only. This can be changed by entering the following
commands:
>set ^%vcvc("unixReadOnly")="mode"
>set ^%vcvc("unixReadWrite")="mode"
where mode is the appropriate UNIX file mode specification.
Automatic creation
of sub-directories
For a component specification which contains a partial file path
(eg /myDocuments/inProgress/reports/customer.doc), if these sub-directories
do not exist in the destination location, VC/m will automatically create
them whenever a transfer is performed.
Port to Caché
on OpenVMS
VC/m 2.1 now runs with Caché 3.2 or later on OpenVMS platforms.
Port to HBOM
on UNIX
VC/m 2.1 now runs with HBOM on UNIX platforms.
serverLink
A new web-server interface is now supplied as an alternative
to the WebLink interface. ServerLink provides the interface between
the web-server and the database engine. The WebLink interface is still
usable for those database engines that have WebLink support. The following
table summarises the currently supported configurations:
Database engine | Web-server | WebLink | serverLink |
Caché | IIS, PWS or Apache | Yes | Yes |
MSM | IIS, PWS or Apache | Yes | Future |
DSM | IIS, PWS or Apache | Yes | Future |
HBOM | IIS, PWS or Apache | No | Yes |
GT.M | IIS, PWS or Apache | No | Future |
Apache Web-server
VC/m 2.1 now runs with the Apache web-server in addition to the
Windows-based web-servers IIS and PWS.
