Known issues in IDM 4.0.3 Fix pack 1

Installer GUI might take time to appear after double-clicking IDMWebSerivces403-001.exe: Since, the IDM Web Services installable file size is big, that is why the Install shield wizard might take time to be displayed. (ecmdb00972697)

Sorting documents: In IDM Desktop explorer on Windows 64-bit, in IS library, documents or folders can be sorted by "Document ID" and in CS library, documents or folders can be sorted by document names. (ecmdb00970435)

Junk appears in IE9: While using IE9, Web Services pages show junk letters - "RSProxy CTL" if the global.asa setting is done on the server. (ecmdb00980110)

Known issues in IDM 4.0.3 Fix pack 2

OutsideIn viewer does not render: In Microsoft Excel, OutsideIn viewer does not render form control, for example, radio button option, list box etc. (ecmdb01120430)

Known issues in IDM 4.0.3 Fix pack 3

High memory consumption after upgrade to ISTK version: After upgrading to ISTK 4.2 FP4, the memory consumption is increased by 100MB. (ecmdb01154266)

Known issues in IDM 4.0.3 Fix pack 5

Workaround for eProcess Applets hanging issue:

The Paste option is disabled in Find application while copying document from CS library on Windows 2012 64-bit operating system, so you will be unable to copy and paste documents from Find application to explorer.

As a limitation in the operating system, and based on the slots available, the system image icons and custom icons will occupy the slots. Hence, the overlay icons are not displayed in some systems, for published and compound documents. This behavior varies from system to system based on the number of system icons occupying the slots for system image icons.

You may be prompted to enable 16-bit application support or NTVDM enablement during IDM 403 installation on Windows 8.1 32-bit operating system. The reason, Windows 8 onwards in x86 architecture, 16-bit application support is disabled by default. This can be enabled prior to installation to suppress this prompt during installation. To enable this, do the following steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. Click Turn Windows feature on/off
  3. Under Legacy components check mark NTVDM component
  4. Click OK.

You may face intermittent Office crashes while using Microsoft Office 2010 on Windows 8.1. To overcome this issue, follow the workaround:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. In the search box, type Indexing
  3. Click Indexing options
  4. Click Modify
  5. From the Summary of selected options, select Users
  6. Uncheck the Users who may be using Office Addins
  7. Alternately, you can also unselect certain locations (example c:\checkout) which is commonly used for IDM AppInt operations

    Note: This will be reflected in the Summary of selected locations.

  8. Click OK and Close.

This setting does not impact the functionality of IDM operations.

While upgrading Viewer at thin client from GA or previous fix packs, you may see an error: This program might not have installed correctly. This error occurs intermittently on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and higher operating systems. This does not mean that the installation is corrupt. You can proceed by clicking This program Installed Correctly.

This error comes from the Program compatibility assistant (PCA) of the Windows operating system. For more details on PCA, refer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/program-compatibility-assistant-faq#1TC=windows-7

Known issues in IDM 4.0.3 Fix pack 6

When you use Application Integration of IDM DT, a smart card prompt might be seen while starting Microsoft Word. This is due to latest signature algorithm used for renewal of digital certificates. Older versions of Office do not recognize the SHA2 signed macros and as a result of that, the issue arises. To solve this issue, perform the following:

1. Open Microsoft Word
2. Cancel the smart card prompt
3. Click on the signature details
4. Add to trusted publishers
5. Go to File>Options>Trust Center>Trust Center settings>Trusted Locations>Add new location
6. Browse and add the startup folder of Word (For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office 14\Startup)
7. Check mark on Sub folders are also trusted
8. Click OK
9. Restart Microsoft Word.

You can now see the Addins in place.

Known issues in Open Client 4.0.3 Fix pack 2

Enable Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 on the server side to browse Open Client with Internet Explorer 11 browser.

The entry criteria Dates works only with Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, so use the tab key to enter the dates.

Known issues in IDM 4.0.3 Fix pack 7

Issue on color image quality of tiff file (ecmdb01202284)

To rectify this issue, set the Registry:
1. Open regedit.exe
2. Under HKLM->Software->FileNet-IDM-DisplayOCX
3. Create a registry key of DWORD type with the name "EnableColorImagesSmooting" and set its value to "1".
