Fixes to known issues

The contents of bulleted lists in some messages were not visible when displaying previews of the messages in the Review pane of the Compliance Accelerator client [Ref 14753, E2745187, R14104, E2674357]

When you displayed a preview of a message in the Review pane of the Compliance Accelerator client, the contents of any bulleted lists in the message were not visible if all the following conditions applied:

• The message was an HTML-formatted message.
• In the criteria of the search with which you found the message, you chose to look for a search term in the subject line or contents of the message.
• In the Review Preferences dialog box of the Compliance Accelerator client, you selected the option Highlight search terms in the reading pane.

This has been fixed.

"XML file is invalid" error messages when importing configuration data into a customer database from an XML file [Ref 14877, E2647196]

You may have received the following error message when you tried to import configuration data into your customer database from an XML file:

Error: System.ArgumentException: The value does not conform to the validation regex string
'^([a-zA-Z]\:)(\\?|((\\{1})([^/\\\]\[:;|><"+=,?*]+))+)$|^(\ \\\[^/\\\]\[:;|><"+=,?*]+\\
[^/\\\]\[:;|><"+=,?*]+)((?:\\[^\\/:*?><"|]+)*\\?)$' .
at System.Configuration.RegexStringValidator.Validate(Object value) at
KVS.Accelerator.ImportExport.AcceleratorImportExport.Validate(String

Finished with errors: The XML file is invalid. Correct the validation errors and try again

This issue could affect XML files that you generated with the ImportExport command-line utility as well as XML files that you manually generated. The issue would arise if the XML file contained an ExportOutputDirectory attribute value with a backslash character at the end. For example:

<Department ... ExportOutputDirectory="D:\Compliance_Export\" ... >

However, the issue did not arise if you specified a UNC folder path with a trailing backslash; only direct folder paths like the one above would cause the issue.

This has been fixed.

Compliance Accelerator allowed you to specify an invalid search term when you defined the criteria for a search [Ref 15667, E2685005]

When you defined the criteria for a search, you could specify a search term that consisted only of an excluded word or phrase (that is, a word or phrase preceded by a minus sign to indicate that it must not appear in the search results). This should not have been permitted, as you can only specify such words or phrases in conjunction with a positive word or phrase that must appear in the search results.

This has been fixed. Compliance Accelerator now displays an error message if you try to specify a search term that consists only of an excluded word or phrase.

Unable to modify search schedules after you configured their SQL Server Agent jobs to send notification emails [Ref 15696, E2178633]

If you set up a Compliance Accelerator search schedule and then configured its SQL Server Agent job to send a notification email whenever the job completed, you could not subsequently modify the schedule. The following error event was recorded in the event log when you tried to save any changes that you made to the schedule:

Event Type:   Error
Event Source: Accelerator Service Processor
Event ID:     147
Description:
APP AS - Customer ID: 2 - An error occurred updating a schedule.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The specified '@notify_level_email' is
invalid (valid values are: 1, 2, 3).

This has been fixed.
