Summary
Community Connect 3 Software Update to address an issue seen after applying Service Release 4. This update is included in Service Release 5.
Description
**Please note this only applies to Community Connect 3™ and RM Smart-Tools 3 networks**
Before installing any Software Update, please refer TEC90813 and DWN59018 in the 'Other Useful Articles' section below. These articles detail RM's recommendations regarding Software Update installation and support.
Any references to Community Connect 3 in this document apply equally to RM Smart-Tools 3.
This update applies to networks running Community Connect 3 Service Release 4. HFXCC3075 is included in Service Release 5 for Community Connect 3; if you have installed Service Release 5 on your network you do not need to install HFXCC3075 separately.
Issue
Community Connect 3 workstations' hard drives may be found to contain large TmpTOC.html files of several GB in size. If present, these files will be located in C:\Program Files\Research Machines\Network Management\Logfiles.
The problem is caused by an issue with a small RM system component called InstApp and only arises once a workstation has rebooted 100 times. Any workstations that have been rebuilt after installing Service Release 4 (SR4) will not experience the problem of InstApp creating large TmpTOC.html files.
Solution
Apply this Update if you are experiencing the problem noted above. The Update can be installed on to Community Connect 3 networks running Service Release 4. It is included in Service Release 5.
Important: During the installation of HFXCC3075, the Update Package List procedure and allocation of a new package must be done manually. Please ensure that you complete ALL steps in the 'How to install the Update' section of this article.
This update should be installed on all Community Connect 3 domain controllers. Servers will not need to be restarted after applying this update but workstations will need to be restarted to update them with the new package.
It is recommended that you also apply HFXCC3072 if you have not done so already as this update silently corrects the same problem with another small component, ListPkg, which would otherwise exhibit the same problem as InstApp. The ListPkg component may create large TmpTOC.html files on any updated or rebuilt SR4 workstations until HFXCC3072 is applied.
Installing HFXCC3075 and HFXCC3072 will prevent future creation of large TmpTOC.html files, however if these files already exist on workstations then they are not automatically removed. If large TmpTOC.html files exist they can be manually deleted, or will be removed the next time the workstation is rebuilt.
HFXCC3072 and HFXCC3075 are both included in Service Release 5.
What will this update change?
HFXCC3075 will deliver a new RM System Tool package, RM InstApp Hotfix 75, which itself delivers a new version of InstApp.exe to C:\RM\INSTALL to correct the problem discussed above.
Who should install this Update?
You should apply this update if you are running Service Release 4 and are experiencing the problem noted above.
HFXCC3075 should be applied to all Community Connect 3 domain controllers. It does not need to be applied to any other servers or workstations, but workstations will need to be restarted to correct the problem addressed by this update.
NOTE: You must have already installed at least Service Release 4 before installing HFXCC3075.

NOTE: If you have a multi-site network, run this update on every server in all sites and then update the package list once only for each site.
9.Allocate the new RM System Tools package (RM InstApp Hotfix 75) to all your workstations. You can choose to do this one location at a time, but it may be easier to allocate at Main Site level so you ensure all workstations receive the new package.
