Centralpoint Update 8.4.2


Date of Update: Monday, August 6, 2012  
  • The database maintenance routine has been updated to more efficiently shrink and re-index both SQL Server 2005 and 2008 databases. The process log has also been updated to store the size of the database before and after the maintenance stored procedure runs. This routine can be scheduled or executed via Master > Development > Utilities > Database Maintenance on Selected Site(s).
  • Master > Content > Web Sites > Properties has been updated to properly display the properties of the selected web site.
  • Master > Web Sites > [WEB_SITE] > Properties has been updated to replace file upload controls with standard text boxes and remove validators. This change supports web site root relative paths in the User, Audience, Taxonomy, Ecommerce, and Resource Properties attributes to be submitted and updated from the master console.
  • New records created in the Site Architecture > Administrators now have both checkboxes checked next to Accessible Audiences > All Audiences. This prevents a problem which prevented administrators from easily selecting only the Main audience for these records.
  • Centralpoint has been updated to gracefully remove duplicates in data relationships like Audiences, Taxonomy, and Roles. In the past, an error would be returned when the same taxonomy was associated with one record more than once. Centralpoint now automatically removes the duplicates and successfully creates the desired relationships. This problem typically occurred when data was created using an outside source via Forms and Data Transfer.
  • The System.ServiceProcess assembly will be automatically added to the master web.config file so that the Centralpoint Agent windows service can be managed by future updates.
  • Scheduled tasks have been updated to more gracefully recover from database connection problems.
  • The scheduled Clean Up process has been updated to ignore file deletion errors while cleaning the Temp directory, and to check that directories exist before cleaning them.
  • The Select Command Builder has been updated to prevent ambiguous column errors by prefixing column names.
  • The DataSource CpScript has been updated to support in the Empty String option of the Empty Item attribute for the Raw HTML Formatting option.
