·
Users
can import a group of existing CODESOFT label templates into the LABEL ARCHIVE
database. Server and Client snap-ins use this feature on the Category screen.
·
A
new setting allows users to configure LABEL ARCHIVE to only print the most
recently approved version of a label. This feature can be controlled through
the UMSS snap-in.
·
An
external application can now query label variable data from printed labels.
3.00.00
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE 3.0 includes an enhanced reporting tool which allows all kinds 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 21 CFR Part 11 of the US FDA.
·
LABEL
ARCHIVE 3.0 handles Microsofts 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 labelling software 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).

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. |

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. |

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. |

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.
·
UMSS Service does not start automatically if UMSS is
installed on Windows Server 2008 R2
