General Changes for 4.33

The following changes have been made to the installer:

• Client installers are no longer added into the server payload (currently located in \ebs4\TribalTech.EBS.Web\Clients). Customers using auto-upgrade are now required to manually copy the client installers into the correct location.

  Note: This functionality will be de-supported in 4.35.

• The installer now sets up an IIS website as a reverse proxy to replace the existing ISAPI filter redirection, to bring the ebs setup in line with PanIntelligence's latest guidance on configuring the ebs: intel site for safe public access. This also functions with Windows Authentication.

  Note: This only applies to ebs: intel and not the ontrack modules or REST services.

• The Port can now be selected for SQL Server so that it can be correctly set in the ebs: intel connection string.

Filters that are based on drop-downs or Boolean filters can now only be added to the Condition Builder once. Once a drop-down or Boolean filter has been added to the condition, the field is removed from the list of available fields.

The Agent 4 Designer option (accessed by clicking the Designer drop-down menu on the System ribbon) is now only displayed with a valid EBS4Agent licence.

The following changes have been made:

• The following institution settings have been added.

This field	Holds this information...
Send Applicants to Engage (on the Engage screen)	Whether to send applicant information to Engage. Note: This defaults to 'N'.
Notes topic for learner support needs (on the Ontrack Learner screen)	This field is currently unused but is intended for future use.
