Summary
Update to RM Type Manager to prevent extraneous copies of hash rule executable files being copied to the server's hard disk drive.
Description
Note: Any references to Community Connect� 3 in this document apply equally to RM Smart-Tools 3.
Before installing any software update, please refer to TEC90813 and DWN59018 on the RM Support Web site (see 'Other Useful Articles' below). These articles detail RM's recommendations regarding software update installation and support.
HFXCC3153 fully supersedes HFXCC3137 and HFXCC3115.
Platforms
Community Connect 3 networks with RM Type Manager.
Symptoms
HFXCC3153 updates RM Type Manager to correct the following issue:
�Whenever a hash rule for an executable file is created, a copy of the target executable is created in the root of the RM Type Manager folder structure on the server (D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\Type Manager). This copy of the executable file is not required and will mean there is redundant data on the server's hard disk drive structure. If several large executable files are treated in this way, significant disk space may be used.
Cause
HFXCC3153 corrects the problem described above by installing an updated version of RM Type Manager and deleting any redundant files from D:\RMNetwork\RMManage\Type Manager.
Requirements
You should apply this Update if you are affected by the problem noted above.
The Update can be applied to any Community Connect 3 network with RM Type Manager installed.
Impact on your network
This Update should be installed on all Community Connect 3 domain controllers (beginning with the Forest Root).
Servers and workstations will not need to be restarted after applying this Update.
