2 Installation and Update Notes

2.1 General Notes

+ Profile Manager/Default Search (System Form)

You can no longer configure or deactivate the default search in the profile management. The default

search is only visible to administrators.

+ Results List

With Service Pack 1, the icon for the default action in the results list is no longer displayed, for

performance reasons. It is however possible to reactivate it by configuring "web.xml".

+ 64-Bit Server

It is not possible to update to a 64-bit version from a 32-bit server version, since various components

are not included in the installation.

+ Compilation of DLLs

The handling of strings in UBI has changed for version 7.1 SP1. .NET applications should be

recompiled after the new SaUbiNet.dll is added.

+ ELM Webservice and SaUbiNet.dll

The SAPERION ELM web service--the main interface between the Metalogix software and the

SAPERION core server/Java core server--is connected to SAPERION via UBI.NET. With the

deployment of v7.1 SP1, it is imperative that the most recent web service be used, since it contains a

current version of the SaUbiNet.dll. The latest version of the ELM web service is downloadable here:

ftp://ftp.saperion.com/partners/releases/components/ELM/ELM%204.4/

SAPERION%20ELM%20WebService/Saperion%207.1.1/SAPERION%20ELM%20WebService.msi

2.2 Update/Upgrade Notes

Upgrades done on version 6 or earlier must be done via a project, since a number of modifications must

be made. As well, the user interface has been changed considerably. Users receive the corresponding

training. More information and a Best Practice „Update Guideline 7.1“ can be found in the SAPERION

documentation portal.

3 Bug Fixes

A list of bug fixes can be found in the download area of our partner portal (https://portal.saperion.com).

4 New Features and Components

The following components and integrations have been released with version 7.1:

4.1 Snowbound Virtual Viewer (Integration)

The Snowbound Virtual Viewer is integrated with the SAPERION ECM Web Client to enable viewing in

the web.

4.2 Web Services (Integration)

Open source-based web services are an integral part of the product development process. They offer a

quality-assured interface, for example as part of the SharePoint integration.

4.3 SAP Web Viewer

In SAP-based installations, the SAP web viewer can be used to display SAPERION documents in SAP.

The SAP web viewer is based on the SAPERION web client. Access to SAPERION is made possible via

a technical User.

4.4 Signavio Process Viewer

There is an integrated Signavio Process Viewer in the workflow inbox, for scenarios which contain

processes that are modeled in the SAPERION ECM Process Modeler. With this enhancement, the user

gains an overview of his tasks in the overall context of the process.

4.5 iSAPERION for iPhone and iPad

With the new app, users are now able to access their data and documents in the SAPERION ECM Solution

via iPhone or iPad. With iSAPERION, annotating documents, starting business processes, delegating

4.6 SAPERION ECM Web Content Archive

5

documents in the context of release processes, or searching in files or in a complete set of documents

are now all possible.

4.6 SAPERION ECM Web Content Archive

Selected web content such as terms and conditions, blog posts, and RSS feeds can be automatically

collected, stored away, and restored. The content remains revision-proof.

SAPERION ECM Web Content Archive can archive and reproduce web pages exactly as they were

presented when the user first called them up.

4.7 SAPERION ECM Data Archiving for SAP ILM

SAP ILM builds upon standard SAP data archiving and has enhancements in the SAP Retention

Management (RM) functions.

Data from the data archiving can be managed in SAP based on the RM viewpoint. (This functionality is

not offered in the normal SAP data archiving via the AL-interface.)

It is also possible to place documents which were archived via ArchiveLink under the management of

ILM in such a way that RM rules can be applied to these documents.

A further feature from ILM is the so-called system decommissioning: SAP ILM makes it possible to pull

snapshots out of old SAP systems and archive them via SAP ILM. This aids in reporting that must follow

GDPdU and GoBS guidelines.

4.8 SAPERION ECM R/ Indexer für SAP

Documents linked with SAP objects are assigned index values to the corresponding SAP objects

via R/ Indexer. After archiving via R/ Indexer, these metadata are loaded from SAP and archived in

SAPERION. This makes a quick and easy search outside of SAP possible.

4.9 SAPERION ECM Compliance Box

All emails sent to or from a business are archived revision-proof in the SAPERION ECM System. This

occurs without affecting the users, who continue to work in their accustomed email system.

Access to emails archived in the compliance archive is only intended for the case where the sending and

receiving of email, as well as its unchanged content, must be proven without a doubt, for example in

the context of a law suit. To meet data privacy requirements, it is possible to arrange research in the

compliance archive by for example including a member of the work council.

4 New Features and Components

6

The archiving of the email is then effected via the journaling function of your email system, which

functions as an intermediate station for email on its way to the compliance archive, and is emptied after

successful archiving.

4.10 Compliance Box Integration

Should you need support when installing the SAPERION ECM Compliance Box, contact us at

contact@helpdesk.saperion.com.

4.11 SAPERION Multi-format Viewer

With the SAPERION Multi-format Viewer, documents such as PDF and Office application files (MSWord,

Excel, MSG) can be opened in the SAPERION Rich Client without having to install the original application

(Adobe Reader or Microsoft Word, e.g.).

i MS PowerPoint PPTX files are not supported at the moment.

The original document is maintained in the structure and can be edited in the external application upon

demand.

With the SAPERION viewer, it is possible to add annotations such as notes and black markers to

documents, in order to leave information for users working on the documents at another time.

The multi-format viewer is included in the standard install and can be activated by editing the SAPERION

configuration files.

4.12 New Sample Scenario “Project File”

7

We recommend using the "DocLoadOriginal" configuration in order to be able to work in both the

original application file and the rendered document. For more information, see the Adminstration Guide

for the SAPERION Rich Client.

4.12 New Sample Scenario “Project File”

The sample scenario "Project File" is included in the standard install. This sample scenario helps

demonstrate the functional application and practical use of files.

4.13 DB2-Database Support for SAPERION (without full

text)

With Service Pack 1, it is now possible to operate SAPERION ECM with a DB2 database without the

option of full text. In addition there are several special configurations that need to be executed, including

the DB2 installation with UTF-8.

4.14 Support for Multiple Database Connections

With this new feature it is now possible to include and use master data tables from other databases

in SAPERION scenarios. For example, one could use an ORACLE database for the index tables and a

SQLServer database for the lookup tables.

4.15 Improved Security

Security has been improved in the Web Client through SQL Injections, ID Strength, and Encrypted

Cookies.

4.16 Release Function for Documents in the Web Client

With this function, releases of certain documents can be made accessible to a group of users (read-only).

4.17 Client-specific Forms

Application-related forms are only shown where wished. In the Form Designer, you can choose from the

following options:

+ display exclusively in Web Client

+ display exclusively in Rich Client or

4 New Features and Components

8

+ display in both clients.

4.18 Duplicate Write

With this new function it is possible, in the case of a failover, to write documents to two Centera or

NetApp storage systems simultaneously.

Further implementations of the supported storage can be found in the compatibility list.

4.19 Consolidation of Configuration Files for the Web Client

It was previously necessary to set certain keys or settings in multiple different places in the configuration

files. With the new SAPERION ECM version, the configuration has been simplified.

Further information can be found in the SAPERION documentation portal (Administration Web Client).
