Diplomat Managed File Transfer
Release Notes v8.2.1
*************** IMPORTANT ****************
1. All product documentation is now available at http://knowledgebase.coviantsoftware.com/.
2. All Diplomat Cloud Connector sites MUST BE UPGRADED when upgrading to Diplomat MFT v8.x from versions earlier than Diplomat v7.1.
3. If you are upgrading from any Diplomat MFT v5.x or v6.x EARLIER than v6.2:
- BEFORE STARTING THE UPGRADE, be sure you know the domain, username and password for the network account associated with the Diplomat MFT Service. On Windows systems, this account is referenced in the Log On tab of the Properties page associated with the Diplomat MFT Service.
- IF YOU ARE USING CUSTOM PORTS, you must update the server.xml file typically located at C:\Program Files\Coviant Software\Diplomat-j\tomcatWebserver\conf. See http://knowledgebase.coviantsoftware.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1557024-changing-diplomat-services-port-numbers-v6-0 for details on how to change port numbers.
4. Upgrading directly from v4.x or earlier of Diplomat Transaction Manager to Diplomat MFT v6.0 or later is not supported, please contact Coviant Software Support before proceeding.
5. The web.xml file is replaced during the Diplomat v5.x installation. The current web.xml file is renamed web.xml.old. If you believe that you have made changes to any settings in the web.xml file, please contact Coviant Software Support before proceeding.
6. The web.xml file is NOT replaced during an upgrade from Diplomat v5.x to Diplomat v6.x, v7.x or v8.x.
7. In Diplomat MFT Standard and Enterprise Editions v6.2 through v7.0, jobs using File Monitoring can stop monitoring unexpectedly. No notifications are sent when the monitoring stops, so the Diplomat administrator is unaware of the problem. At this time, we strongly recommend that you DO NOT USE the File Monitoring feature for critical file transfer jobs, if you are still using Diplomat MFT v6.2 through v7.0.
