===============================================================================

IMPORTANT NOTICES

 

·        The following software versions are supported:

o   Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and later

o   Any Oracle version supported by eDOCS 10.0 or later

o   Windows 10

o   eDOCS version 10.0 and later. We no longer officially support eDOCS 5.3.1.

 

·        You must enable the DM system parameter Allow SQL Pass Through in order to run WincTools and the add-on modules.

 

·        If WincTools or any WGSL application fails to start on a 64-bit operating system, you may need to change the default DEP behavior on your computer. For Windows 10, this is set in Windows’ Computer Properties – System Protection – Advanced – Performance Settings – Data Execution Protection – Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only

 

·        Functions that process documents will perform better if unused and duplicate columns are removed from profile forms. This is also true for overall performance in eDOCS.

 

·        Before running TBLCOMP, you should always first disable all triggers, and then enable them after the upgrade is complete.

 

·        When selecting documents by a date range, if the language on the WincTools computer is different than the language of the database, the query to identify documents may fail. The workaround would be to use the No Date button on the date selection screen.

 

·        To improve performance of many WincTools functions, including Move User, Transfer Documents, Missing Document Files and Missing Document Profiles, you should map the share of the target document server(s) before running these functions, and disable shadowing.

 

·        You must manually refresh a list if you no longer wish to have deleted items appear.

 

·        You must exit and restart WincTools if you add or remove tables, or if you change the Setup options to List Validation Tables Only or Load Domains at startup.

 

·        There may be a slight delay when the cancel button is pressed during lengthy operations.

 

·        If you minimize WincTools while it is performing an operation, you may not be able to restore the form back to its normal size until the operation is completed.

 

 

WINCWALL:

 

·        If you are running WincWall and a Network Security Service (DSSS or DSSA),, you will need to stop and restart the service after setting up WincWall on each library for the changes to take effect.

 

 

NOTICE TO EVALUATION USERS:

 

·        You are allowed to use WincTools for evaluation purposes for a period of 60 days from the program date, or 30 days from the date of installation, or a total of 15 times, whichever comes first. Unless you purchase and register this program, WincTools will cease to function after the expiration of the evaluation period.

 

·        In addition, the evaluation copy of WincTools is limited to copying 10 rows (including documents) per session.
