Resolution

Required Action

We urge customers to upgrade to the latest Schemus 1.52.04 version

To check the current version, please go to:

Schemus>Help>About Schemus>Schemus Synchronizer Version

Download Latest Version

Please login to https://clients.messagelabs.com

Navigate to Tools > Downloads > Synchronization Tool

Important notes before upgrading

  1. If upgrading a 64-bit Windows application to a 32-bit application, the 64-bit version will not be uninstalled. We recommend uninstalling the 64-bit version first if re-installing or upgrading to a 32-bit version.
  2. Windows scheduled tasks will need to be recreated if installing for a different architecture (64/32 bit). 
  3. The bundled java certificate store will be replaced. Any custom certificates (e.g. for SSL communication to the directory) will be lost.
  4. Download version with JRE. If you download a version without JRE you may need to enable Java versions above 1.0 in the Java applet.

Upgrading Schemus

  1. Make a backup of the existing Schemus folder which can be found here:

Windows XP & Server 2003:
C:\Documents and Settings\ AllUsers\ApplicationData\Schemus

Windows 7, 8, Vista & Server 2008, 2012:
C:\programdata\Schemus

Linux:

      $HOME/.schemus/configurations/

      or

      ~/.schemus/configurations/

*You may need to enable the view of hidden files and folders in Windows

  1. Ensure that all other applications running on the computer are closed before you start the installation process.
  2. Download the latest version of Schemus from the ClientNet portal account : Tools > Downloads
  3. Start the installer
  4. For Windows systems, click the executable file that you downloaded from the portal

 

Synchronization Scheduler
