Bug Fixes
This release notes details the information related to enhancements, improvements, and resolved issues in Suite 8.11.17.2.
Suite
Issue: We fixed minor security issues.
Tracking code: STE-30452
Issue: HotDocs in Suite were incompatible with OpenJDK17.
Description: We fixed an issue where opening HotDocs documents or trying to import templates to Suite Manager > Template Import produced errors when Suite was installed with OpenJDK17.
Tracking code: STE-30140
Suite Manager
Issue: The Accrual Notification Task stopped abruptly and didn’t send email notifications.
Description: The Accrual Notification Task wasn’t sending notifications as expected, so we changed the Accrual Notification Task workflow by incorporating logic to deal with invalid emails and inactive Entities and People. The Accrual Notification Task is run in the Scheduler module in Suite Manager, and it’s configured in Scheduler > Templates.
Tracking code: STE-30828
eCounsel
Issue: Module Matter > Player didn’t show records containing null values.
Description: When a user sorted by Primary Contractor in module Matter > Player, records that contained a null value in column Primary Contractor were removed from the results. For this reason, the option to sort by Primary Contractor in module Matter > Player was removed because sorting with combined tables is not supported in Suite.
Tracking code: STE-30432
Issue: Crystal Report had checkboxes selected by default.
Description: We restored the functionality of Crystal Report by leaving all checkboxes unchecked by default.
Tracking code: STE-30561
Issue: New Matter Wizard (NMW) template didn’t change the NeedSync flag to true.
Description: New matters created with the NMW didn’t set the NeedSync flag to true, so they weren’t synced to Corridor.
Tracking code: STE-30830
Secretariat
Issue: The Securities Ownership Report showed the word “Equity” at the top of each page of the equity details instead of the entity name.
