LABEL
ARCHIVE 3.0 includes an enhanced reporting tool which allows all kind of data
and history reporting for a given label. This reinforces the compliance of the
software with the different guidelines and requirements relative to electronic
traceability, such as Title 21
CFR Part 11 of the US FDA.
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE 3.0 handles Microsoft’s Active Directory users. Active Directory is a
Microsoft centralized and standardized system that automates network management
of user data. It is now possible in UMSS to import entire lists of users from a
given Active Directory instance with only one click. Thus UMSS can contain
users of “umss” native type, i.e created manually like in previous LABEL
ARCHIVE versions, and users of “windows” type, which are directly imported from
Active Directory. Upcoming versions of Teklynx Label Designers will include
enhanced mechanisms to handle connection through windows users.
·
Windows
7 has been added to the list of supported Operating Systems.
2.07.00
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE 2.07 adds performance improvements in handling large volumes of data.
Windows that display lists of records now use the paging mechanism. This applies
to the following lists: check-in, check-out, history, reprint and versions.
2.05.00
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE 2.05 is now compatible with Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows XP
Service Pack 3.
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE Server can be configured to store documents and historical data in a
compressed format inside the database.
This option can be used in certain cases to increase LABEL ARCHIVE
performance, reduce network traffic, and increase the communication speed
between the LABEL ARCHIVE Server and the database system. This option also greatly reduces the amount
of storage space used within the database.
To activate data compression between LABEL ARCHIVE Server and the
database system:
1.
Stop
the LABEL ARCHIVE service.
2.
Open
the <InstallDir>\Label Archive
Server\ TkxArv.server.config file in a text editor.
3.
Search
for the useZipCompression attribute
and set the option to True.
4.
Restart
the LABEL ARCHIVE service.
·
The
LABEL ARCHIVE Client can be configured to exchange documents and historical
data with the LABEL ARCHIVE Server in a compressed format. This option can be used in certain cases to
increase LABEL ARCHIVE performance, reduce network traffic, and increase the
communication speed between the LABEL ARCHIVE Client and the LABEL ARCHIVE
Server. To activate data compression
between the LABEL ARCHIVE Client and LABEL ARCHIVE Server:
1.
Close
all applications that could be connected to the LABEL ARCHIVE Server (for
example, CODESOFT, SENTINEL, LABEL ARCHIVE MMC console).
2.
Open
the C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Teklynx\Label Archive Client\ TkxArv.client.config file in a text editor.
3.
Search
for the useZipCompression attribute
and set the option to True.
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE history records now show who approved or denied a label (#9258).
·
The
information about the quantity of printed labels is now available in the LABEL
ARCHIVE print history records (#7294).

UMSS
MSGS Administration does not show messages regarding label approval. |
|
|
23430 - 13872 20073 - 13145 |
After
installing Windows XP SP3, the Administration console for the LABEL ARCHIVE
Client and LABEL ARCHIVE Server could not be opened. |
|
|
24818 - 14208 |
It was
possible to be prompted to approve a label twice. |
|
|
7677 - 11492 |
It was
not possible to delete an approval rule, even after having removed all
documents that had been validated with it along with all references to that
rule in the categories defined in LABEL ARCHIVE. |
|
2.04.00 |
|
|
|
|
14512 - 12270 |
Comments
entered during the approval process and for the validation of a label were
not visible to other users involved in the approval loop or at the end of the
process for the designer that submitted the label. |
|

Variable
values used at print time within the label could not be seen later in the
Print History records. |

It was not
possible to save on the local disk the validated version of the labels stored
in the LABEL ARCHIVE database from CODESOFT.
This limitation was designed for security reasons, but could cause
issues in instances where a backup solution was required for label printing
while the database system is down. An
external tool has been created that allows you to back up the full label
archive database on the local disk.
This tool must be copied into the LABEL ARCHIVE Server installation
directory to use the feature. |
|
|
19201 -
12966 |
It was possible to type in forbidden characters for file names when
checking a label in to LABEL ARCHIVE.
Forbidden characters include / \ : * ? "
< > |. This would cause CODESOFT
to crash when opening the label from the recent file list. |

After an automatic reboot of the Oracle after a backup, the LABEL
ARCHIVE Server became unresponsive and required a manual restart. This problem is now fixed, but it is
important to avoid any connection with the LABEL ARCHIVE Server while the
database is shut down. Note: Typically in server environments, when maintenance operations are done
on databases, it is important that all applications and ERPs which rely on
these databases are properly stopped and then properly restarted in
accordance and in coordination with the Application Managers. If IT is not well coordinated with
Application Managers, an incident may occur, such as a client performing label
check-in or printing when the database is stopped by IT. This could cause data integrity loss. In some cases, an ERP or application may be
automatically restarted by IT before the Application Manager could check that
the production data is restored and approve the application restart, and a
user on the other side of the factory resumed working with LABEL ARCHIVE
without permission from the Application Manager. This causes integrity risks because the
application could contain invalid data. |
·
E-mail
notifications can be sent to individual users only. Group notifications are not allowed by
e-mail.
·
When
working with an SQL server database that is located on a different PC than the LABEL
ARCHIVE Server, only the SQL authentication mode can be used during
installation. If the Windows
authentication mode is chosen, the LABEL ARCHIVE Server cannot connect to the
distant database and the application installation fails.
·
When
working with the reprint feature, it is possible to observe differences between
the original printout and the reprinted copy when working with multiple labels
across that have a defined Start At Label parameter
set to greater than 1 for the printout.
·
There
is no official Oracle support for Windows Server 2008 systems. Applications could be unstable on this
configuration.
This version of LABEL ARCHIVE is compatible
with the following TEKLYNX software packages:
·
CODESOFT
9.0
·
LABELVIEW
8.20.04
·
SENTINEL
