CentralPark 1.8.2644.5566 is available

You can download it here.

Release note:

Features:
- Added support for ODBC data sources to the Import Definitions. 

Improvements:
- CATS SSVS plugin improvements to cater for 
 - Altering the file date
 - Setting either the Account Details or "Creditor or Debtor Code" not both at the same time.

Bug Fixes:
- When importing transactions with 4 decimal places hashes were failing, since CP uses 2 decimal places. (This will only occur if your import definition query returns amounts to more than 2 decimal places.)

NOTES:
- When using the ODBC data sources one should choose the option in the "Query Type" field. The query that one generates will need to specify the key field parameter as a '?' as shown in the sample screenshot below.



Monday, 10 November 2014

CentralPark 1.8.2637.5550 is available

You can download it here.

Release note:

Improvements:
- Added an extra config to map Creditor or Debtor code in CATS SSVS
- Downgrade .Net Framework to 4.0 so that CP will work on Windows Server 2003

- Updated WebHelp link. 
Update to the OMNI Payments plugin to not drop off leading 0's on BeneficiaryAccountNumber and Debit Account.

Bug Fixes:
- Critical bug fix dealing with Consolidated Instruction hashes. When consolidated instructions exceeded the Transaction Payments Limit or Transactions Collection Limit on a bank account the split instructions did not have correct hashes. 
- Fixed bug on Run Process screen when filters were applied to Doc Gen Process Definitions.

- Fixed icon on Run Process screen that was showing "disabled" when the checkboxes were actually enabled. 

NOTES:

With this build we have fixed a critical bug with the hashing during consolidation. 

We have also had to downgrade to .Net Framework 4.0. This was due to the fact that .Net Framework 4.5 is not supported on Windows server 2003. In case there are any issues when upgrading here are samples of the web config and service config. Values for <SERVER>, <DATABASE>, <USERNAME> and <PASSWORD> must be set.
