Vantage Update 2.2.0.48 – New Loaders, Features and Fixes

We’ve just released an update to the Vantage range of application, including the Web Module.

This release will be welcomed with open arms by many customers for the following reasons:

  • General usability improvements in the Web Module
    Multi-select / delete options, Ajax progress indicators to avoid page refreshes, export from Dynamics Report tab and more (see below)
  • Fixes to the Microsoft Forefront TMG loader
    See my other post: Microsoft Forefront TMG logs size fields the wrong way around. Also fixed ‘value cannot be null’ error when importing SQL logs.
  • Fixes to storage corruption issues
    This build should prevent ‘Normalization Index’ storage corruption issues from occurring. This often occurred after importing data, editing some log inputs and reimporting.
  • New loaders and more fixes
    See below for the full list
