Dualog Drive - Changelog

INTRODUCTION

This page lists every changelog to Dualog® Drive since its first release.

DRIVE VERSION 9.3 - 5 MARCH 2024

NEW FEATURES:

• Sync - Supports Malware Scanning
  • Sync tasks can now be configured for malware scanning
• Sync - Error detection added for Sync tasks
  
  • A feature has been added to report errors detected on task configurations
• System folders and Drive installation folders disallowed as task source or destination
  • To improve cybersecurity, if tasks are configured with either system or Dualog Drive folders as a source or destination, the task will be suspended and this will be reported to the cloud.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Logging
  • Logging has been added on startup to detect version number information etc.
• Move - Improved file size reporting to the cloud
  
  • File sizes are now reporting together with other package information. Previously, this was reported only when files began sending
• Adjusted timeout for acknowledgement on packages
  
  • When packages are successfully downloaded and unpacked at the destination client, an acknowledgement is returned. The timeout value for waiting for a response on the acknowledgement has been adjusted from 2 minutes to 10 seconds

BUG FIXES:

• Sync client - Removed unhandled exceptions
  • Several unhandled  exceptions in the Sync client have been removed
• Move - Fixed potential misreporting of file sizes to the cloud
  • A potential error on reading metadata for a file has been eliminated - metadata is now read when a file is copied to the temp folder instead of when the file is detected in the source folder
• Move - Fixed potential hash error
  • Hash value is now calculated after the fille has been moved to the temp folder and an exclusive file lock has been set
• Move -  Fixed issues where the client reports that a folder already exists
  • Two issues have been fixes where the client reports that a folder already exists. These are edge cases which may happen if:
    • A client is restarted just after an upload has finished
    • An upload has failed and files are moved to the error folder as a new package is about to be uploaded 

PORTAL UPDATES - 04 JANUARY 2024

BUG FIXES:

• Some minor fixes to multipage/pagination for the Move status page

PORTAL UPDATES - 21 DECEMBER 2023

BUG FIXES:

• Move details page, when new packages arrive already selected package is deselected
• If multiple pages of files in a package, the pagination jumps to page 1 on refresh

PORTAL UPDATES - 19 DECEMBER 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Search/filter for task.  Many customer have configured a lot of tasks. To find a specific task you might have to scroll through multiple pages. Now you can simply start typing the name of a task to see the relevant tasks
• Instead of scrolling through multiple pages, type the page number to jump to that specific page

PORTAL UPDATES - 29 NOVEMBER 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

• New status page for the Drive Malware scanning
• In the config overview for Drive tasks, we now show whether bandwidth control is disabled or not. If it is enabled, it can be disabled from the rightmost menu
• Several performance improvements in the Drive Status page

DRIVE VERSION 9.2 - 21 NOVEMBER 2023

NEW FEATURE:

• Malware Scanning - Applicable for Move tasks only

PORTAL UPDATES- 01 NOVEMBER 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Move - The progress cards are now visible even when the package list is large and you scroll down.

BUG FIXES

• Move - Fixed some issues with filtering when multipage.
• Sync - Fixed issue with folder structure not refreshing when changing source vessel (many-one sync tasks)

PORTAL UPDATES- 23 OCTOBER 2023

BUG FIXES

• Move - Fixed bug where search is cleared on refresh and new package is added.
• Configuration - Fixed filter errors when multiple pages.

DRIVE VERSION 9.0 - 18 SEPTEMBER 2023

BUG FIXES

• Fixed an issue when Bandwidth Control is active for a relocation task, and none of the ships in the task are assigned the selected carrier/communication type, transmission failures may occur.

• Eliminated extraneous error logging to enhance the user experience.

PORTAL UPDATES- 12 OCTOBER 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Status Page
  • Column width adjustments in file list to improve readability (Move)
  •  Fixed file list search to only search in selected package (Move)
  • Fixed multipage issue when switching between Completed and ongoing (Selects same multiage)

BUG FIXES

• Fixed bug - not showing paused tasks

PORTAL UPDATES- 02 OCTOBER 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Status Page - Timestamp of the last update is now reflected for Sync cards.

PORTAL UPDATES- 20 SEPTEMBER 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

Previously, we encountered sluggish response times on the folder structure within the Sync status page, especially when it contained numerous files and folders. This was due to requesting the entire structure at once.

• We've implemented a significant change: Instead of fetching the full structure in a single request, we now initially request only the root folder. Sub folders are fetched on-demand when clicked.
• This adjustment has resulted in a remarkable improvement in response times.
• Additionally, we've discontinued the practice of requesting the folder structure upon refresh. This operation has been deemed unnecessary, as the folder structure for a single revision remains unchanged.

DRIVE VERSION 9.0 - 18 SEPTEMBER 2023

NEW FEATURES:

• Move – Max file size
  
  • Max file size has been possible to set in the portal for a while. A new Drive client is required for this limit to be respected.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Upgraded to .NET 6
  • The primary objective of this release is to update the dependencies in our services, transitioning from .NET Core 3.0 to .NET 6.
  • With the migration from .NET Core 3.0 to .NET 6, we discontinue support for over-the-air (OTA) updates on operating systems (OS) that are not compatible with .NET 6.
  • The affected OS include:
    • Windows 7
    • Windows Server 2008
• SMB Error Handling
  
  • We have seen several situations where error messages related to connection with file servers (using SMB) is misleading or wrong. In this version of Drive the error handling has been improved.

PORTAL UPDATES - 05 SEPTEMBER 2023

BUG FIXES

• Updated our back end service responsible for configuring SharePoint.

• System Optimization

14 MARCH 2023

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Added max file size for Move task
  
  This option, which can be found under advanced settings, functions as a filter, ignoring files that are larger than the maximum size selected. There won't be any warnings at this point.
• Updated to use the latest version of Angular and the new design system
  
   it is important to clear web browser caches for this to work.

BUG FIXES:

8.16 - 02 JANUARY 2023

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed a bug where when destination folders were empty (ex: a new task was created), Dualog Drive interpreted it as an error (no response), and files were not synced to SharePoint.
  • Workaround: To add a file to the folder to kickstart the downloads again.

8.16 - 21 DECEMBER 2022

NEW FEATURES:

• Clients can start four concurrent move uploads to the cloud (four different tasks).

20 DECEMBER 2022

  This will allow customers to select S3 as a destination for Move tasks. As this is still in the pilot phase, please contact Dualog support if you would like to gain access.

• SharePoint as a destination for Move tasks
  

   Customers can now configure SharePoint as a destination for Move tasks.

• Removed the 3 GB limitation for Move tasks
  

  As this is still in the pilot phase, please contact Dualog support if you would like to gain access.

• Extended use of Ship Codes in Drive configs

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Cleanup in the integration config

  It is now removed from the Drive Config and only available from the integrations menu (Inside the Drive landing page). Included here are stricter rules for changing tasks, new icons, and minor design improvements.

• Added configuration options for Amazon S3 as part of the integrations config.

BUG FIXES:

• Drive - Integrations: Removed the option to delete SharePoint drives in use by tasks.

29 NOVEMBER 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• SharePoint Integration service on the Drive Cloud has been upgraded
  

  The main improvement is the handling of large file/folder structures, which has been a problem when it exceeds 10 000 items.

15 NOVEMBER 2022

NEW FEATURES:

• Added a separate page for configuring SharePoint integrations. 
  

  Integrations for the upcoming Amazon S3 integration will be included in the same list.
  The only location to add and edit integrations in the future will be here.
  A new feature is an ability to store an integration as a draft, for example, if you are missing certain details or the verification fails.

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Updated the backend services for SharePoint Integration
  

  handling of instances in which SharePoint throttles us, as well as a complete overhaul of how we request updates from SharePoint. The destination tasks in SharePoint now provide better progress reporting.

• Added status information on the drive card
• Highlighting of selected revisions disappear
• Erroneous mouseover

04 OCTOBER 2022

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed an issue where newly created ship groups are not available for use when configuring drive tasks.
• Fixed a bug where the cancel button is not visible when creating a new Drive task.
• Fixed pagination issue in Drive task overview.
• Fixed bug in Drive task config for the graphical presentation of the folder structure when using separate folders per ship (ship codes, ship name, IMO number, etc)

DRIVE VERSION 8.15 - 16 SEPTEMBER 2022

BUG FIXES:

• Config file (appsettings.json) is recovered correctly

DRIVE VERSION 8.14 - 06 SEPTEMBER 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Move: Changed behavior of Move backup
  

  In previous versions, Drive is creating a subfolder for each transmission (one or multiple files). This makes it difficult for users to find specific files. In Drive 8.14 we have changed this to store all files in the configured backup folder. If a filename already exists in the backup folder, the timestamp is added to the filename.

DRIVE VERSION 8.12 - 06 JULY 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Move: New Client introduced

BUG FIXES:

• Minor bug fixes implemented

8.11 - 06 JUNE 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Sync: Set the max number of changes in one revision
  

  We've had timeout issues when a sync revision contains a large number of changes (seen on revisions with more than 10 000 deleted files).
  The client initially attempts to send metadata for changes.
  The connection times out due to so many changes, and the client retries sending the data.

  We have set a hard limit of 500 updates per revision to avoid this situation.
  If there are 15000 changes, they will be distributed in 30 revisions.

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: On startup, the client does not always scan the folder for changes
  

  Fixed an issue where the Sync client was not scanning folders for changes on start-up.
  Happens when a revision is stored in the local database, but not registered in the cloud.
  A typical case is a situation described in the improvement described above
  (Timeout due to many changes in revision)

 

DRIVE VERSION 8.9 - 25 MAY 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Adjustments to utilize the new sync protocol
  Several improvements have been made in the sync protocol (part of the Link Platform). To utilize these changes, changes have been made to the Sync client

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: Cleanup when a sync task is deleted
  When a task is deleted, some cleanup is required. A housekeeping routine is now implemented to clean up database tables holding information on ongoing transmissions for the deleted task(s). Without this cleanup, the sync task will try to complete the download forever and keep logging error messages. This only applies to situations where a task is deleted while it still has data to up/download.

 

DRIVE VERSION - 8.4 - 21 MARCH 2022

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: BlobTransfer protocol
  Fixed issues with the BlobTransfer protocol on the Link Platform.

DRIVE VERSION - 8.3 - 14 MARCH 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• HTTP Header now includes a Correlation ID

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: Sync protocol
  Fixed an issue with the Sync protocol.

DRIVE VERSION - 8.2 - 21 FEBRUARY 2022

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Improved logging
  Added logging when failing to filter files, build number, and detailed logging on the version number

BUG FIXES:

• Migration Issue from Drive 7.x to 8
  The destination might end in an infinite loop if the next operation is "delete".
• Move: High memory usage
  Fixed an issue where the memory usage on the Move client is high.
• Sync: High memory usage
  Reduced memory usage by upgrading SDK's and other minor patches
• Sync: BlobTransfer protocol
  Fixed an issue with the BlobTransfer protocol.

DRIVE VERSION 8.1 - 02 DECEMBER 2021

After upgrading, Drive will automatically migrate certain parts of the databases for better performance. Depending on the size of this database, this might take some time.

NEW FEATURES:

• Sync: New Transfer Protocol
  The sync transfer protocol has been redesigned and is now added as a Link Platform service. Drive now uses this protocol for Sync transmissions. The new protocol uses multiple IP channels for transmissions, improving throughput. In addition, protocol overhead has been reduced.
• Sync: Error messages appear in apps.dualog.com
  Added functionality to transfer errors from client to cloud. Errors will be displayed as Detected errors on the Drive status page

  IMPROVEMENTS:

• Sync & Move: hidden files and folders not being transferred.
  Hidden files will now not be sent. Normally such files are system files or temp files. We have experienced files like thumbs.db being transferred, causing problems at the destination.
• Move: improved SQLite database performance
  Improved by removing the encryption layer.
• Move: Error messages transferred to the Drive cloud
  Some critical error messages are now being transferred to the cloud. Apps.dualog.com will soon show these error messages on the Drive status page.
• Move: Improved behavior when downloading packages having permanent failure
  If a package is not possible to download, the Move client moves on to the next package instead of failing out and then retrying the failed package. This avoids a long queue of pending downloads when such errors occur.
• Move: Improved performance
  Improve performance with multiple destination tasks by doing parallel unpack and download.
• Move: Changed folder tree access rights requirements
  Previous versions of Move required full access to the whole folder tree structure, instead of only the task root folder. This has caused some head-scratching when troubleshooting access rights issues.

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: Stop syncing blobs when the configuration is disabled
  Fixed an error where Sync tasks being disabled were still syncing blobs.
• Move: Fixed bug causing the transfer to hang after service restart
  Fixed issue where transfer status may be wrong when the service is restarted during transfer.
• Move: Double gzip encoding
  In some rare instances, the files sent can be compressed twice.

DRIVE VERSION - 7.11 - 21 JUNE 2021

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: Destination client fails to download an update
  Fixed a protocol bug that prevented the destination client from downloading an update for the sync task. (This fix would only prevent the error message from being logged, but will not help with the corrupted transmission itself)

[ERR] Failed to download blob; aborting this run; Error Message: Hash Control Error on incoming chunk(0)

WORKAROUND:

1. Determine which file(s) are stuck in the logs.
2. At the source, copy this file to another synced folder (or create a subfolder to copy the file to)
3. Drive will then sync this file to the cloud, and the chunk will be added to the database.
4. The chunk will then be delivered to the destination folder, allowing you to proceed.

5. As there could be more than one file stuck, you may need to repeat the operation on more files.

6. When the task has finished successfully syncing, remember to clean up by deleting the copy of the file (s)

DRIVE VERSION - 7.10 - 27 MAY 2021

BUG FIXES:

• Move: Failure to resume on download
  If a package download is aborted, the client will throw an exception the next time it tries to download the package before sending an acknowledgment to the server.
• Sync: Multiple instances of the client can be started
  Prevented instances where multiple instances of the Sync client launch.

7.9 - 12 May 2021

BUG FIXES:

• Move: Files being sent multiple times
  If the Move service is not able to delete a file after transmitting it, it will be sent multiple times.
• Sync: Destination folder(s) not being updated
  Fixed a bug where the sync folder(s) at a destination is/are not updated. When this happens, the following error message can be found in the log file:
  

  [ERR] An unhandled exception occurred; Unable to resolve parent folder

• Failed transmission whenever a carrier failover
  In situations where a carrier failover occurs during a transfer, the ongoing transmission will cease and fail to resume.
• Encountered an error when updating configurations
  In situations where the configured path is unavailable or accessible, alongside rare occurrences, any configuration change(s) is/are not detected by the client.

   IMPROVEMENTS:

• Improved logging on exceptions
  Added task information on certain exceptions to improve traceability.

DRIVE VERSION - 7.8 - 09 MARCH 2021

BUG FIXES:

• Invalid file size reported to the cloud
  Due to a visual problem on the Activity Monitor, a Move task may report and reflect as 0 bytes. This can happen when the source folder is a file share and the file is not received in one complete chunk from Samba.

   IMPROVEMENTS:

• Support for Samba 3.0 
  Samba 3.0 is now officially supported for File Share.

DRIVE VERSION - 7.7 - 4 DECEMBER 2020

BUG FIXES:

• Move: Set Max Transmission per file/package size to 3GB
  The Move protocol has problems when transmitting multiple GB of data, where the 3GB limitation has now been set in place. If the package is more than 3GB, it will be divided into multiple transmissions

• Windows Share: Fixed a Samba issue when many files are to be stored concurrently

DRIVE VERSION - 7.6 - 7 SEPTEMBER 2020

BUG FIXES:

• Sync and Move: Storing data to file share fails
  The Samba server has a maximum size for data to send or receive. This maximum size was not checked and respected by the Drive client, causing potential rejection from the file share. The client has now been redesigned to check the maximum size before sending data.

DRIVE VERSION - 7.5 - 28 AUGUST 2020

IMPORTANT:

•  Window Share has been redesigned 
  SMB 2.1 must now be enabled on the client machines, where the files would be synced or moved to

          Click on the following for detailed instructions on how to detect and enable SMB 2.1                  protocol:

• • Microsoft - Local
  • Linux - AWS (Under Setting a security level for your gateway - Security level has to be Enforce signing)

     BUG FIXES:

•  Sync: High CPU usage 
  Fixed problem where the Sync client gradually increases its CPU usage 

•  Sync: the transfer is not resuming until after one hour 
  If a transmission fails, it will take one hour until transmission resumes. 

• Sync: Downloads not completing  
  Some sync downloads are hanging forever. The reason is a bug in the sync client, not being able to create the files from the received blobs. Reading of metadata failed.

  IMPROVEMENTS:

• Move & Sync: Improved writing data to file shares 
  Redesigned writing to file shares to avoid the potential problems when many tasks access the same file share 

•  Sync: Location of temp files 
  Currently, Sync is using the Windows temp folder. This may have unwanted consequences if other applications are using the same temp, and not cleaning up temp files.  

  We will now create and use a temp folder on the location of the installation. 

•  Move: Changed download order to avoid heavy delay for some downloads 
  When the heavy load on downloads, we have experienced downloads for some tasks to be pending for a long time. Changed communication between cloud and destination to contain all pending downloads instead of one task at a time. 

DRIVE VERSION - 7.4 - 29 JUNE 2020

BUG FIXES:

•  Sync: Client stops transferring data
  All transfers stop until the client is restarted. The reason is an error in exception handling, causing the client not to return from a function.

DRIVE VERSION 7.3 - 10 JUNE 2020

BUG FIXES:

• Sync: Error situation at destination when a file is deleted at the source 
  When a file is deleted, it may occur that file info is not sent from the server. This was not properly handled by the client, causing the update to not complete 

• Sync: Handling of error situations when a temp file is not possible to be created 
  This is related to situations where the Windows temp folder is not cleaned by other applications. Temp files will have 8.3 namings, and when the namespace is “full”, the application will crash when not able to find an available file name. This is now handled, but for a future release, we will redesign the service to use a separate temp folder. 

• Sync: Client hanging on source task operation 
  Fixed a problem where the client is not able to send folder updates. 
  Log error: The state is out of sync with the file system. Suspending operation for 30 seconds. 

• Sync: Error situation when config changes 
  When the sync client receives a configuration change and there are many sync tasks configured, it is possible to end in a situation where there are several instances of a task running.  

• Sync: Failure on the destination when an update has no metadata 
  When an update only contains file deletion, meaning that no metadata is included, the sync client might end up reporting the following error: 

  The required feature DestinationStateChangeFeature was not set in the context.

• Sync: The client stops transferring data

  All transfers stop until the client is restarted. The reason is an error in exception handling, causing the client not to return from a function.

DRIVE VERSION 7.1 - 04 MAY 2020

• The protocol handling authentication now supports the use of WebSockets. We have eliminated the limitations in some operating systems like Windows® 7 and Windows® Server 2012.
• We have improved the efficiency of file download by simplifying database operations.
• Drive now has a new and streamlined metadata format. We have also improved the compression of metadata to reduce transfer size.
• The service now performs disk space checks to verify sufficient disk space before initiating up-and-download.
• Bug fix: We have made several stability improvements in the sync protocol. In the move protocol, an error where resumes on large files failed is now fixed.

7.0 - 19 MARCH 2020

• The Smart Folder™ feature now includes the option of using custom ship codes to automate folder creation on either source or destination. This dramatically improves the flexibility to manage file locations to correspond with company-specific requirements.
• For move tasks, there is now the option of having the service copy files automatically to a local backup folder without interfering with the transfer. This can be a useful feature in case a transmission fails, or if having a rollback option available is a requirement
• There is now an option to enable or disable tasks. This feature makes it easy to stop all activities on a task temporarily or to delay startup until the installation on all your clients is complete.
• Super-admins can now receive logs from clients automatically for complete traceability into data transfer tasks.

6.3 - 04 FEBRUARY 2020

• BUG FIX: The destination folder scanning does not work for UNC paths. This bug was introduced in Drive 6.0.
  
  

6.2 - 14 JANUARY 2020

• Fixed a bug where temporary zero-byte files were not deleted from the disk when not needed anymore
• Resolved an error situation when bandwidth control is enabled but not configured

 

6.1 - 08 JANUARY 2020

• Sync: Fixed a potential crash situation
• Sync: Improved handling of token renewal upon expiry
• Move: Last modified time of files is no longer taken into consideration unless the task is configured to have a delay. This allows for files with a last modification in the future to still be sent.
• Move: Improved handling of token renewal upon expiry

6.0 - 06 JANUARY 2020

• Scan sync files on the destination
  • If files or folders are added, modified, or deleted, Drive will alter the changes making sure destinations are an exact mirror of the source. Previously, destination folders would be scanned for changes on an hourly basis
• Proactive data import
  • In cases where a large amount of data is to be synchronized to the ships, data might be delivered on a USB stick or similar to destinations. For this purpose, a feature called Proactive Data Import is created.
    By copying files into this folder
    <install folder>DualogDrive\DualogDrive.Sync.Client\DataImport
    they will be imported to the storage for the deduplication transfer protocol. After adding data to the storage, files will be deleted from the DataImport folder.
    When this data is to be downloaded, the protocol will recognize this data as already available and create the files without having to download them.
    Any data can be stored in this folder and help the system to reduce bandwidth usage.
    Be aware that subfolders will not be imported, so make sure all files are copied to the DataImport root folder.

5.0 - 05 JANUARY 2019

• Platform: Carrier detection
  • Allows you to configure carrier detection for ships to identify which internet carrier is currently in use for the platform
• Drive: Bandwidth control
  • Set rules in Drive tasks to tell which carriers they are allowed to send data over
• Platform: now reports carrier changes to the cloud
• Sync: added support for Windows 7
