Update for Velocity 3.0 (KB68) Release Notes

 

December 05, 2006

 

Update for Velocity 3.0 (KB68) Released 12/05/2006 contains file changes to address the following knowledge base articles:

 

Download and install the update by executing the EXE file on the Velocity Security Domain server which will launch the update wizard. Once the update completes, as each client re-connects to the Velocity Security Domain, updates will automatically be applied. You do not need take the update to each Velocity client and run it.

Note: Requirements & planning for a system update

 

Before applying an update to the Velocity server, you must plan for independent client down time until the the update has been applied to each client respectively, in order for each client to stay in sync with the server system to prevent application errors and possible database corruption.

 

Before you install Velocity updates, the following requirements must be met:

Applying updates to the Velocity Server:

  • You must be logged into the Velocity server computer with a Windows account that has local Administrative privileges in order to install updates. Velocity Update may install new files and register them with the local Windows environment. On a Windows member server, you must be a member of the local Administrators group. On a domain or backup controller, you must logged in as Administrator or be a member of Domain Admins.

  • You must also be logged into the Velocity server computer with a Windows account that has 'sysadmin' privileges in the Velocity SQL Server. Updates may include schema changes to the Velocity database or modifications to SQL Server system databases. In order to make those changes, 'sysadmin' privileges is required. If the SQL Server used by Velocity is located on another computer on the network, your Windows account must have local Administrative privileges as well as 'sysadmin' privileges on the remote SQL Server.

Applying updates to the Velocity Client:

  • When updates are applied to the Velocity server, you will be advised that all Velocity clients will be updated the next time they are launched. In order for the updates to be applied to the client computer, the person logged into Windows at the time Velocity is launched must have local Administrative privileges. This is required in order for Velocity Update to apply file and folder and possibly Windows Registry changes to the Windows environment. If a non Administrator launches the Velocity client after an update has been applied to the Velocity server, they will be advised that the update cannot be run without local Administrative privileges and Velocity will exit.

 

KB64 - PRB: Enrollment Manager scanning support fails for drivers license/passports and smart cards

Symptom: When the user scans a business card, drivers license or passport using the ScanShell 800/1000 scanners or a smart card using the Gemplus or Integrated Engineering readers to populate user defined fields in Enrollment Manager, they receive the following error message:

"The following unexpected application error occurred...
Function Name: frmEMScanner.CmdReadPIV_Click
FunctionSubItem: 16
Number 429
Description: ActiveX component can't create object"

Causes:

1. The problem occurs because of an incompatibility between the HirschPIV.dll and HirschEMScanner.dll.
2. The GemPlus reader drivers are absent and may be required on some Windows computers.

Solution: Install and register HirschEMScanner.dll version 1.0.0.78 dated December 04, 2006 and the GemPlus drivers. These files are available in Update for Velocity 3.0 (KB68) and will be automatically installed on each client machine once applied to the Security Domain.

After applying the update to the Security Domain, the user must launch the GemPlus reader driver installation. The file is named GemPCTwin_PC_SC_MSI_Installer_32_bits.msi on each client machine.

Symptom: When a user changes a DTLM or RQE settings in either the Door or Input window of Velocity and clicks OK, the changes are not downloaded to the DIGI*TRAC

Case: A defect in HirschDoor.dll & HirschInput.dll that track changes in the user interface fail to detect changes to DTLM, RQE and state change reporting. When the user clicks OK the window determines no changes were made and does not download the new settings.

KB66 - PRB: May not be able to delete a time zone from Velocity. Dialog states the time zone is in use when it is not

Symptom: When the user tries to delete a time zone from Velocity they receive a dialog stating the time zone is in-use and cannot be deleted. The display shows the time zone is in use by an expansion input when it is not configured that way in the controller or any input.

Case: The time zone component will display expansion relays as expansion inputs in the in-use dialog. This will cause the user to look for the time zone being in use in the wrong location.

Solution: Install HirschTimeZone.dll version 3.0.0.22 December 04, 2006 and register it with Windows. This file is available in Update for Velocity 3.0 (KB68) and will automatically be install on each client once applied to the Security Domain.

Applies To: DC4119

KB67 - PRB: Firmware versions may not display properly on the Controller and XBox windows

Symptom: The firmware version on the Controller and XBox windows may be improperly formatted when single digit firmware revisions are present, e.g. CCM 7.4.2 should read 7.4.02 and may be confused with a future firmware version 7.4.20 or 7.4.2 which would be newer than 7.4.02.

Cause: The displays are not properly formatting the version number taken from the Velocity database.

Solution: Install HirschController.dll version 3.0.0.23 December 04, 2006 and HirschXBox.dll  version 1.0.0.185 December 04, 2006 and register the files with Windows. These files are available in Update for Velocity 3.0 (KB68) and will automatically be installed on each client once applied to the Security Domain.
