After installing the patch 1017-2.256, the LiveCycle server is stable under heavy load but each individual execute script task is processed slower. 

Note: This patch removes configuration parameters, Pool Size and Recycle Thread Count, added with patch 1017-2.256. 

Adobe LiveCycle ES2 SP2 (9.0.0.2)

This patch installs gemfire version 6.5.1.35 and updates default TCP locator directory. If you are using TCP locator from a non-default directory, update the version of gemfire in the directory.

(Microsoft SQL Server only) LiveCycle fails to purge processes and the following exception occurs:

“Caused By: javax.ejb.TransactionRolled
backLocalException: EJB Exception:
; nested exception is: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.
SQLServerException: The incoming tabular data stream (TDS) remote procedure call (RPC) protocol stream is incorrect. Too many parameters were provided in this RPC request. The maximum is 2100.”

In addition, the ExecuteScript service's performs sluggishly resulting in higher than expected invocation time. This QF adds the following configuration parameters to tune the performance of the ExecuteScript service.

• Pool Size: Defines the number of BSH Interpreter objects for pooling.
• Recycle Thread Count: Defines the number of threads to be used to recycle the BSH Interpreter objects.

• Added API, getAllVersionsList(), to enable users to get all the versions associated with a document inside FileNet.
• Added API, createOrUpdateContent(), to enable users to:
  • Create a new document (even if a document with the same name already exists in the specified folder)
  • Update an existing document by passing the GUID (to uniquely identify the document to update, because now there can be multiple documents with the same name)
• The API getAllItemsList() returns map with an additional field ‘GUID’.
• An API searchDocumentsByProperty() to search documents inside IBM FileNet.
• The API storeContent() is updated with following new functionality to:
  • Create a new document if no document with the same name exists in the specified folder.
  • Update the existing document if only one document with the same name exists in the specified folder.

Quick Fix #2.38

Note: QF 9500.38 is non-cumulative and doesn't include issues fixed in previous Workbench QFs for LiveCycle ES2 SP2 (9.0.0.2).

• The users of the localApplicationVersion filter code can also see the local versions.
• Even though the show local applications checkbox is not selected, all the users with access to local applications are also listed in the get applications window.

After installing the patch, follow the section adding a flag.
