Maximizer Exchange 7

• MaxExchange Remote stops responding if a Remote machine uses a client firewall: Previously, if a MaxExchange Remote uses a client firewall and tries to connect to the MaxExchange Server, MaxExchange Remote stops responding. This issue has been resolved.
• MaxExchange Remote terminates unexpectedly when the TIME command is mishandled by a firewall: Previously, if a MaxExchange Server was behind a firewall and the firewall doesn't support the TIME synchronization command, then when the Remote processes its first received refresh, it may terminate unexpectedly. This issue occurred whether the Remote was synchronizing its clock with the server or not. This issue has been resolved.
• MaxExchange Remote always synchronizes its clock with MaxExchange Server: Previously, MaxExchange Remote always synchronizes its clock with MaxExchange Server, whether the Remote was configured to synchronize its clock with the server or not. This issue has been resolved.

• Poor Memory Usage and Speed Performance in SQL Product: Previously, when using the SQL product, users may have experienced high memory usage and poor speed performance. This issue has been resolved through improved memory handling and enhanced speed performance (more than double the speed performance in most cases).
• Timeout Error in SQL Product: Previously, when using the SQL product, an ODBC Timeout error may have occurred on the MaxExchange Server while the server was performing a large operation causing a loss of connection to the SQL server.
• Launching Site Manager During Processing: Previously, if users launched MaxExchange Site Manager during a processing session, issues may have occurred. This may have included processing being stopped.

• Members of Security Group Disappear After Synchronization: When users were added to a security group and synchronized to a MaxExchange Remote, the group would be truncated at the ninetieth user. This was caused by a data length issue and occurred only when the length of the group name record exceeded 1080 characters.
• COUNT field incorrect or syntax error: Certain transactions would cause a "COUNT field incorrect or syntax error" to be written to the MaxExchange SPDMlog.txt file. This error was benign and is no longer written to the SPDMLog.txt file.

• Poor Memory Usage and Speed Performance in SQL Product: Previously, when using the SQL product, users may have experienced high memory usage and poor speed performance. This issue has been resolved through improved memory handling and enhanced speed performance (more than double the speed performance in most cases).
• Timeout Error in SQL Product: Previously, when using the SQL product, an ODBC Timeout error may have occurred on the MaxExchange Server while the server was performing a large operation causing a loss of the connection to the SQL server.
