Thanks Pam, just found out that the rebranded 4.0.8.4 version is available a month ago..Will turn the wiki notifications on.

Have updated the current VIBE demo setup at our customer site.

Claude - my post was a direct copy / paste from the engineering team on the release.  I will check with them on the build numbers.  As for the rest of the issues - client errors / access - please opne cases for each different issue so that we can check into them for you.  -  Pam

Hello Greiner Claude - I cannot comment on your findings, but asked Pam to comment here. If there has been an error, I would like to apologize on behalf of the company. Pam is also doing her best to assist our customers in using our products. You can certainly see this in her many responses and contributions in the community. If there is an issue in this specific article, she can certainly explain it.

Hi Seloro,

do the clients give the error message that the server is not a vibe server? If so, then the issue is a ReST endpoint. If you go to the URL

<your vibe server>/rest/release_info/ 

you can see an XML element "product_name". This will show "OpenText Vibe". The Desktop client expects "Micro Focus Vibe" or "Novell Vibe".

I have done some code digging and found taht the server until 4.0.8.3 supports older Desktop Clients by using the property "product.name.legacy" given in ssf-additional.properties. Since 4.0.8.4 the rest-lib uses "product.name", which does not match the expectations of the desktop client.

So to fight the symptom if you positively have to (at your own risk, of course ) you can go to ssf-ext.properties (the admin documentation shows you how to find it) and change the "product.name" property back to "Micro Focus Vibe". We have done some quick testing and have not seen issues coming from that change, but that does by no means say there can be none.

I think preferrably we should either get a new desktop client (there are other issues I have with the current one, so that would be good), or the release-info endpoint should use the legacy-property again.

HTH!
Christian

Thanks, can you send me a private message with your email. You had in Austrai a super groupwise, vibe, filr specialist that even publish his experience here! I am in Germany near the old capitol Bonn, 40km under Köln

Thanks Claude, I was already a little desperate.That makes me feel a little better, even though it's not a solution, but admins will understand me. By the way, my name is Ufuk Serbest from the University of Art and Design Linz.I have to edit my profile. 

Best regards and thanks again

Hi Seloro, i can confirm, the old desktop clients don't work and i don't have found new desktop client for mac, linux or window.

Access with the internet explorer works fine.

For this, i had open a case by OT-Support since 2 weeks and they mean that mariadb database will not run, but this is not so, the status from the database is good and runs (see access over explorer)

we had not only a software trouble, but also a support big problem

Hello, we have problems with the client connections since the update 4.0.8.4. Have you found a new client for win/osx in the package?

When you call the help from admin console you become the help from version 4.0.6 and not for version 4.0.8

OT do you need help for the end control?

Is this version 4.0.8.4 a downgrade?
Version 4.0.8.3 had build 5597, now version 4.0.8.4 Build 5593
