Release Notes
[Return to the Enterprise 3.2r page.]

Important Note: Due to the issues recorded in the #Known Issues section, this release has now been withdrawn in favor of Release 3.2 SP1.9.

This release rolls up a number of maintenance fixes to the Alfresco Enterprise Edition 3.2r release. This release replaces Release 3.2 SP1 and resolves a potential data loss issue (ALF-2719) that was found in the earlier 3.2 SP1 release.


Installation


If upgrading from 3.2 SP1, please perform the checks documented in the Known Issues section of the 3.2 SP1 release notes to ensure no data loss has occurred before continuing.

Please back up your database and content store before attempting to upgrade from a previous release.

For instructions on how to install Alfresco Enterprise 3.2 SP1.2, refer to the Alfresco Administering a Production Environment guide, available via the Alfresco Network.


Prerequisites


This release requires the jTDS driver version 1.2.5 for compatibility with SQL Server, unlike version 3.2 Enterprise, which was certified with the Microsoft driver. We plan to certify future versions with jTDS.

Updated installation instructions are in the sample alfresco-global.properties and on the Wiki
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Database_Configuration#MS-SQL_Databases


Known Issues


The following known issues are associated with this release:

Content Purging

v3.2.r introduced a new content storage model that allows orphaned content to be detected more efficiently. Due to the possibility of data loss reported in ALF-2719, migration of data to this new model has been temporarily disabled. As a result, the problems reported in ALF-726 still apply to upgraded systems and the purging of unused content from the content store has been temporarily disabled. If upgrading an existing installation, it is important that this remains disabled and the values of the following properties should not be editied.

system.content.eagerOrphanCleanup
system.content.orphanCleanup.cronExpression

If upgrading from 3.2 SP1, please perform the checks documented in the Known Issues section of the 3.2 SP1 release notes to ensure no data loss has occurred before continuing.

This problem has been rectified in Release 3.2 SP1.9.

Email Templates

When there are existing email templates in Alfresco 3.1.1 and then an upgrade is performed  the templates are still present and in the same place as they were but can no longer be selected when specifying a template to use when creating a 'Send email to specified user' action in a rule.
This problem does not occur on a clean installation of Alfresco, only an upgrade one.

A fix ALF-1816 is provided for this in 3.3 Community release, but please 'cut' and 'paste all' actions to move all custom templates from their 'Email Templates' folder to either the 'Invite Email Templates' sub-folder (if they are templates for site invitations) or the 'Notify Email Templates' sub-folder (if they are templates for notifications of new content). The standard product ones will have been moved automatically.

Edit online via CIFS is not supported in Internet Explorer 7+/Firefox 3.x browsers

cifs link type no longer works due to heightened security in recent browser versions. We have removed cifs as a 'supported' value from web-client-config.xml and made following change,

                <edit-link-type>http</edit-link-type>, the value can be http or webdav.
