Congratulations Support.

A few questions regarding setting memory for Aware running as service under 64-bit.

a) In "awareim.conf" file, can we now set "wrapper.java.initmemory" to more than 1024?
b) In "AwareIM/bin/ClientStarter.bat" file, can we set "–Xmx1024m" to more than 1024 if we need to?
c) For Tomact running as service, how do we give it more memory?
d) What else do we need to change to give more memory to Aware running as service?

Thanks!

If you want to use more than 1024M of memory when running as a service you need to update to the 64-bit version of the Tanuki wrapper software. It's not free and you will need to pay for the license.

Aware IM 7.1 Release Notes

Aware IM 7.1 contains a number of new features and improvements.
The list of the new features and improvements is shown below:

Java 8 64-bit
Windows version of Aware IM now includes the latest 64-bit of Java by default
Aware IM can now automatically "discover" foreign keys when connecting to existing database tables.
This essentially means that users working with business objects persisted in external database tables can now
use "references" in much the same way they use them for "native" business objects:
- Existing foreign key constraints are automatically detected and "reference" attributes are automatically
  created to represent the corresponding relationships
- "Foreign key" constrains can be specified "on the fly" when discovering attributes of external tables
- "Matching" attributes can be defined for relationships discovered during this process
- One-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one relationships are automatically supported through matching relationships
  created when discovering foreign key constraints. Many-to-many relationships are not supported.
- Shortcut attributes can now be added to business objects persisted in an external database.
- Primary keys defined in external tables are now automatically detected.
Support for some new capabilities of native mobile applications:
a) Take photo from camera -
Use the MOBILE CAMERA SNAP INTO Object.PictureAttribute [WITH ...] action in your process
This will automatically start the mobile camera and write the photo taken into the specified picture attribute
of an object in Context
b) Take photo from a photo library
Use the MOBILE CAMERA GET INTO Object.PictureAttribute [WITH ...] action in your process
This will automatically show the library of photos and let the user select one. The result will be written
into the specified picture attribute of an object in Context
c) Get the current geo location of the user
- You need to add the predefined "MobileGeoLocation" object to your business space version
  - Then use the MOBILE GET LOCATION TO MobileGeoLocation action in your process. The result will be written into
    the instance of the MobileGeoLocation object in Context
  - Google Maps can now work with the MobileGeoLocation object
  - Show current location option for Google Maps didn't work in 7.0 but now works in 7.1
  - Support for watching changes of the current location of the user
    Use the MOBILE START LOCATION WATCH INTO MobileGeoLocation and
    MOBILE STOP LOCATION WATCH FROM MobileGeoLocation actions in your process
  - The above support for geo location is also available for non-native mobile and desktop applications
    d) Push notifications (iOS devices not tested yet):
- Use the special "Push Notifications" command in the Config. Tool to enable push notifications
- Use MOBILE SUBSCRIBE action in your process to register a phone for push notifications
- Use MOBILE PUSH MobilePushNotification TO MobilePhone - send push notifications
Configuration Tool improvements
a) Support for form and grid styles. This allows developers to store their "defaults" when defining forms and grids.
- Manage Styles command
- Set current style (drop downs) in the Config. Tool toolbar
- The current style is automatically applied to a new form or query
- The new command (in the burger menu of the form or query) to apply the specified style to an existing form or query
  b) Quick Test command - put version under test without any dialogs
  c) Context Assistant now provides more information about processes and queries used in a business space version
  d) CTRL mouse click on an element(object, process or query) in rule and query editors goes to the definition of the element
  e) SHFT mouse click on an element(object, process or query) in a rule brings up quick view of the element
  f) GoTo button in a visual perspective menu and in the Operations Dialog - goes to the definition of the element
  g) Formatting of the text rule is preserved when switching from standard rule form
  h) Ability to disable/enable a rule
  i) Find Element command - allows finding an element (object, query, process) by name
  j) Expand buttons for HTML cell and Advanced Script dialogs
Support for Tomcat session persistence
Allows to configure Tomcat to use persistent sessions. This can be useful for load balancing and scaling
Support for ReplyTo field in the Outgoing Email notification
Delete font command in report designer
Aware IM 7.1 now uses the latest version of the Kendo UI Library
- Number formatting problems with the thousand separator fixed
LIST_TABLE_START, LIST_LINE AND LIST_TABLE functions support list ordering
10.Syncronization with Google calendars supports "per-user" mode, so each user can sync with his own calendars.
11.NATIVE_MOBILE_MODE function to return whether the system is running in the native mobile mode

BUGS:

Drag and drop didn't work in the TreeList widget
It was not possible to use DISPLAY LAYOUT in a popup window

Support, are the website samples running on 7.1?

Someone was asking me, "Will a converted 6.0 application run faster on 7.1, in general?"

aware_support

Samples are still running on 7.0 but will be changed to 7.1 soon.

7.0/7.1 should be quite a bit faster on average than 6.0

Thanks, I'll tell him.

I am running a verison of AwareIM on a 32-bit machine.

Since upgrading to versiion 7.1 i cant start up AwareIM because I am assuming is because 7.1 now defaults to 64-bit.

How do i change the Java to run in 32-bit not 64bit ?

Great news!!!
Thank you support for this great release.

Excellent work!!!

Why can't you start it up? Are you using 32-bit Windows?

Hi Aware-Support,

Yes i am running 32bit windows

Support: Have you considered updating the MySql connector that comes with each new AwareIM build?

I see that 7.1 still includes mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin in the AwareIM/Tomcat/lib sub directory. For a while now, I'm been replacing that with 5.1.38 as suggested by someone else on the forums. It's not a hard process, but it would be GREAT if you could update the install process to include the latest connector to save a manual step.

Thanks!

I test it on XP in my school computer laboratory. I cannot run after install the AwareIM v7.1 and the error like the below

But after I downgrade the JDK from 64-bit to 32-bit and with the Tomcat too, I can enjoy new AwareIM v7.1 again

aware_support

For those running 32-bit Windows.

Download Java 8 32-bit JDK from the Oracle site.

Replace the AwareIM/JDK folder in 7.1 with the downloaded JDK.

Put the file tools.jar from the downloaded JDK to AwareIM/Tomcat/lib
