OpenInsight 9.4 “Roll Up” Patch v5.1 released

Revelation have recently released a brand new roll up patch for OpenInsight, taking the series to version 9.4.4.

This patch includes additional fixes to RTP16 (xlate), all the patches and fixes from the previous “Roll Up” patches, as well as:

• An updated datatbl.dll and oinsight.exe to fix changes in how Windows displays forms.
• A fixed DICT_MFS_BUILD to ensure that associated group names are included when a dictionary’s %FIELDS% record is rebuilt.
• A fixed RTP16 (XLATE) to restore previous functionality when explicitly passing a null in parameter 5.
• An enhancement to OIPI (VSPRINTER1) to improve performance.

After installing this patch, your system will report that it is running version 9.4.4.

This zip file contains an updated RevelationDotNetSetup.msi, RevelationDotNetSetup.exe, revjapi.dll, OESocketServer.jar, OInsight.exe and an OpenInsight RDK, for use in OpenInsight 9.4.0 systems.

This patch replaces the original “Roll Up” Patch v1 released on March 3, 2016, the second “Roll Up” Patch v2 released on March 8, 2016, the “Roll Up” Patch v3 released on June 13, 2017, and the “Roll Up” Patch v4 (and v4_1) released on January 5, 2018, and includes all the previous fixes for OpenInsight 9.4.

Listbox Patch

Following the release of the Windows 10 Creators Update by Microsoft recently, Revelation found that OpenInsight Listboxes were affected by the update.

A Listbox Patch for OpenInsight 9.4 has therefore been released to address this issue.   The Windows 10 Creators Update has caused Listboxes to no longer display properly in OpenInsight 9.4 and this new patch resolves this issue through the replacement of the existing OInsight.exe.

OpenInsight will show the version as 9.4.2 which can be viewed in the top left corner of the IDE.  OpenInsight Works Members can download the Listbox Patch for OpenInsight 9.4 from the Works Download section of our web site.  If you are an end user, please contact your application author to obtain your application upgrade accordingly.

OpenInsight 9.4 “Roll Up” Patch v1

Several of you have recently been asking about the possibility of a patch that rolls up all of the OI 9.4 patches that have been released in recent times.  The list has grown because of the anticipated version 10 and the need to address the needs of our VARs and developers in the current version.

I am pleased to announce that Revelation have just published that “Roll Up” patch into the WORKS area on http://www.revelation.com.

Entitled ‘OpenInsight 9.4 “Roll Up” Patch’, this zip file contains an updated RevelationDotNetSetup.msi, RevelationDotNetSetup.exe, an OInsight.exe and an OpenInsight RDK, for use in OpenInsight 9.4.0 systems. This patch includes all of the previous fixes for Openinsight 9.4.

These include:

• BUTTONDOWN Event Handler Patch for OI 9.4
• SQL Connector Patch for OI 9.4 v2
• Buffer Overflow Error Patch for OI 9.4 v2
• RevelationDotNet 9.4 “Roll Up” Patch
• RTI_TASKMANAGER 9.4 Patch v2
• O4W Validation Patch for OI 9.4
• QBF Patch for OI 9.4

You will require OpenInisght version 9.4 to be pre-installed on your machine and you will require a current OpenInsight WORKS login to reach the download page.  That download page includes complete Download and Setup Information for the patch and alink to the patch zip file itself.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to repeat steps 7 through 14 (as listed on the download page) on EVERY workstation running OpenInsight.  Failure to perform the uninstall and reinstall (via clientsetup.exe) on a workstation will lead to inconsistent behaviour in the BRW and/or OIPI.NET.

OI 9.3 Dedicated and Background Indexer Patch

Revelation have identified an issue in OpenInsight 9.3 that prevents scheduled and dedicated indexing processes from starting.  The problem is limited to these scheduled index processes:

• Set_IDX function launches the dedicated indexing window but no indexing occurs.
• Launching OEngine.exe with /I command line argument launches the dedicated indexing window but no indexing occurs.
• The background indexing setting in the database manager that specifies the delay before indexing has no effect.

Routines that call Update_Index directly or run the dedicated indexing service as a Windows scheduled task are unaffected by this problem.
