12.1, Copy Structure Perfomance Adjustment

In the 12.1 release we made some performance adjustments for copy structure.

  • Used faster functionality to copy files
  • Did not update the tree after the past is finished
  • Validate Documents in the dialog does not check every cell

A copy that took 30 seconds now took 15 seconds on a small main folder. We think the performance gains will be higher on larger structures.

Oracle Database Driver Changes…again

In 12.1.1 we introduced a new Oracle driver, there was a problem with this causing the requirement to be a bit too narrow and we needed the exact version of Oracle that the application was built against.

This has now been rectified and the requirement is as specified for 12.1.2:
– Oracle Data Provider for .NET (.NET 4)
– Oracle Provider for OLE DB

This means that any Oracle Client is supported as long as these components are included, the main limitation posed by this is that Oracle Data Provider for .NET is only included as a .NET 4 version from Oracle Client (or ODAC) 11.2.0.3 making this is the lowest version that we can support.

Lowest possible version for Oracle Client is 11.2.0.3.

Don’t hesitate to contact support if there are any questions regarding this driver change.

12.1.1 Changed Database Driver

The used Oracle driver has been changed, in 12.1 there was a requirement for “Oracle Managed Data Provider for .NET”. This requirement has been lifted and we no longer install this client with the installation program. Instead we use “Oracle Data Provider for .NET” which is a separate prerequisite install which replaces the need for any other Oracle client.

The components needed from the “Oracle Data Provider for .NET” installation are
– Oracle Data Provider for .NET
– Oracle Provider for OLE DB
