STP Documents On-Premise 8.6

New and Enhanced Features

  • Starting task lists in the Pro Client is now available if you have enabled the preview feature in your personal settings. (63276)
  • Viewing and creating notes in the document preview in the Pro Client now also works in offline mode. (70077)
  • When creating tasks and starting task lists in the Pro Client, it is now ensured that all assigned editors have the necessary access to the selected documents. If an editor does not have access, you will be informed to avoid creating tasks that the editor cannot view later. (77464)

Tip
Please refer to the new handout on "Checking Document Access When Creating Tasks" in the Standard DESK and in the Controls.

Known Issues

If there are inconsistencies with the STP standard document list layouts, please delete the folder of local personal layouts. The corresponding path in the user's roaming profile for your personal layouts is: %AppData%\STP AG\LEXolution.Office...

Note: Deleting the folder will delete your personalized layouts, and they will need to be recreated.

When using Citrix environments, issues may arise where the log states, for example:

"Not enough quota available to process this command."

In this case, the temporary files under Windows should be cleaned up (cleanmgr).

  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server 2016
  • Windows 10
  • Windows 11
  • MS SQL Server 2022 (From version 8.2)
  • MS SQL Server 2019

  • Office 2016
  • Office 365 (See restrictions below)
  • TOCR Version 5
  • STP Common Services 1.5.0
  • STP User Management 1.6.512

The release for Office 32 Bit is only valid with the additional agreement from STP.

In the 32-bit version, it is important that the compatibility mode is enabled in all Office products. Without using compatibility mode, various errors may occur in Outlook DESK and Office Integration.

It is important to set the compatibility mode before installing Outlook DESK and Office Integration, as errors may occur at the first start otherwise.

We generally recommend using the 64-bit version of Office if possible. The 32-bit version is known to quickly run into memory shortages, leading to errors and crashes.

The release for Office 365 includes restrictions and is only valid for local installations of already released Office products (Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise). The release explicitly does not apply to the cloud version of Office.

We release Office 365 with the restriction that we cannot rule out that an update to the Office 365 desktop applications may jeopardize the functionality of the STP add-ins.

Documents On-Premise is tested and released for use with Exchange Online (Office 365) in the current version.

We will continue to test future versions against the current version. However, updates to the Exchange Online environment may cause malfunctions that need to be analyzed promptly.

This release is only valid for using Exchange Online as a backend system and not for using Outlook Web Access (OWA). Using the Documents On-Premise Outlook DESK in OWA is not possible.

Restrictions:

  • For client operating systems, it is explicitly noted that Home, Starter, and RT Editions are NOT supported.
  • In the Office Editions Starter, Home & Student, Home & Business, and Office RT, incompatibilities may occur.
  • Under Windows 10, users without administrative rights cannot directly save files to C:. All settings in Documents On-Premise that lead to files being saved directly to C: must therefore be changed.

Additional Notes:

  • Documents On-Premise requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 on both the server and client sides. Please install the .NET Framework 4.8 in advance (e.g., during a planned maintenance window) on the DMS server and clients so that the Documents On-Premise update runs smoothly and without interruption. Installing the .NET Framework requires a system restart.
  • Documents On-Premise requires the central STP User Management (UM) in version 1.6.512 or higher and STP common services in version 1.5.0 or higher. You can find the downloads for these components on the STP website under Software Downloads. When updating from version LEXolution.DMS 7.0, please first perform the DMS update and then update the STP User Management and STP common services.
  • For use with winsolvenz, at least winsolvenz.p4 10.12 or higher is required. winsolvenz.p4 is not supported.
  • For use with LEXolution, at least LEXolution 6.1.132 or higher is required.
  • For newer SQL Server versions, it is essential to set the compatibility mode to SQL Server 2008, otherwise updating the Documents On-Premise database is not possible.
  • When using DMS with load-balanced terminal servers or user profile synchronizations, configuring the central editing directory is absolutely necessary.
  • From Documents On-Premise 8.0.213, the Standard DESK for document editing requires the LCAS installation and Office Integration.
  • Please restart the DMS server machine once after a successful update to this version of Documents On-Premise.
