You can now move attachments from Outlook to SharePoint.

Support connecting to Office Connect Online Manager for Office Connect clients.

Object links can now be converted to Secure Share links before sending the e-mail using the Insert Secure Share Link function.

Known Issues

The object links in the Quick Share notification e-mail cannot be opened when the objects shared with external users are libraries, folders, or files are in a subsite. Workaround: You can apply a Perimeter hotfix to resolve this issue.

Only the System Account can activate Office Connect Content Type Customization Feature successfully.

When you double-click the Setup.exe file in the Office Connect Agent installation package to

install or upgrade Office Connect Agent, the message that informs that the installation or

upgrade was successful appears when the installation or upgrade fails.

When you configure the versioning settings of a l ibrary to create major and minor (draft)

versions in SharePoint and then upload a file to the library using Office Connect, the wo minor

versions of the file are created after one upload.

When you configure the Perimeter integration settings in the Manager Configuration Tool and

then share a folder with an external user using Quick Share, when you upload a file to the

shared folder using Office Connect, the number of notification e-mails that the external user

receives is two times more than the number they are supposed to receive.

On the Office Connect Agent server where Outlook 2013 or 2016 is installed, when you deselect

the Open replies and forwards in a new window checkbox in the Outlook Options interface,

and then you reply or forward an existing e-mail and add an attachment to the e-mail, the pop-

up window appears asking whether to save the attachment to SharePoint does not appear.

When you customize the message that will be displayed at the bottom of the secure share links'

table and configure an image with the .ico extension to be displayed in the message, after you

insert secure share links in an e-mail and send the e-mail, the image in the e-mail received by

users is displayed incorrectly.

4


When installing the Office Connect Agent using the MSI package, some extra DLL files will

appear in the installation directory. You will need to manually delete the DLL files from the

installation directory.

When you modify the Office Connect Service port in the OCTManagerEnv.config file on the

Manager server or in the OCTAgentEnv.config file on the Agent servers, the Office Connect

Manager and Agents cannot communicate with each other after restarting the Office Connect

Manager. This issue also occurs when you change the log in account of the Office Connect

Service in the Server Manager.

Workaround: On the Office Connect Manager server, execute the following commands in the

Command Prompt:

cd "\OCT Manager\OCT\Manager\bin"

OCTManagerPostInstall.exe -i domain\userName

When you open the Microsoft Word Document type object that is inserted to a Microsoft Word

Document, click Save to SharePoint in the Office Connect group on the ribbon. In the pop-up

Office Connect interface, select a SharePoint library or folder, and click Upload, it fails to upload

the object and there is no error message.

Root Cause: The current version of Office Connect does not support uploading such objects to

SharePoint.

When you enable the FIPS security setting on a server, and install Office Connect Manager on

this server, in the E-mail Configuration step, enter smtp.office365.com in the Outgoing e-mail

server (SMTP) text box, and enter other information. The validation test fails.

When you rename a file in a library where version settings are enabled using Office Connect, no

new version is created for the file.

Root Cause: No new version will be created when renaming a file using the SharePoint API.

When you enable versioning settings for a list and configure to keep one major version, then

you edit an item in the list by adding attachments to the item using Office Connect, two major

versions are created for the item.

Bug Fixes

When you drag an e-mail with attachments and a read receipt and drop it into a node under the SharePoint Favorites node in Outlook, and in the Office Connect pop-up message you select the Upload attachments only option, the read receipt is uploaded as an attachment to the node and deleted from Outlook.

When you double-click the Setup.exe file in the Office Connect Agent installation package to upgrade the Agent, and then click Finish in the Office Connect Agent Upgrade Wizard after the upgrade, a message prompts informing that the program may not have installed correctly.

When a file fails to be added as an item's attachment using Office Connect, an error message does not appear. When editing the item to view its attachments, the file does not exist.

5


Root Cause: The PageStartIndexChanged method is triggered when refreshing the list content,

which deletes the error message.

When you set the true value for the LoadFileInfoMeta parameter in the

OCTManagerAdminSettings.xml file and upload a file to SharePoint using Office Connect, the

original value of the file's Modified By property is not kept.

When you open the Manager Configuration Tool on the Office Connect Manager server, and

then disconnect the server, when you connect to the server again, the Manager Configuration

Tool interface is blank. The same issue occurs for the Office Connect Manager Installation

Wizard.
