Important Release Notes Update Information

Released December 18th, 2019

Highlights  

As promised on the ILLiad Roadmap, here are the main features/enhancements of ILLiad 9.1:

  • Authentication Enhancements  
  • Automatic User Creation
  • New, Fully Accessible, and Responsive Web Pages  
  • Enhanced Rapid / RapidR Integration
  • Decision Support for Request Processing    

There are over 60 bug fixes and several underlying component updates to continue supporting external systems in this release. 

Considerations Before You Update     

Review ILLiad 9.1 FAQ

For frequently asked questions and additional information regarding the 9.1 features and fixes, please see the ILLiad 9.1 FAQ. You can also view the recorded 9.1 pre-release webinars in the VTL (ILLiad in Focus 9.1 and ILLiad in Focus 9.1 Encore). For all other questions, please contact support at support@atlas-sys.com.

Updating During Normal Working Hours

Please consider running updates and installations during standard support hours 8 am - 5 pm eastern time (business days Monday - Friday) so that help is readily available if any issues are encountered.

Updating Procedures

Before you begin updating, please review the Hardware and Software Requirements for Version 9.1. For specific instructions on updating, see Updating ILLiad to the Newest Version.

Updating from Version 8.7

If you are updating from ILLiad 8.7, please review the ILLiad 9.0 Release Notes and FAQ since all the password change requirements will impact you after updating to version 9.1. You will need to update the server and the client on each machine to 9.0 prior to updating the server and clients for ILLiad 9.1. It's not required to login or change any passwords until after you've updated to 9.1.

NoteWorthy Changes in the 9.1 Update

  • The existing RemoteAuthUserVariable Customization Key will be removed and recreated as a default line in the new RemoteAuthValidation table. This change was added in support of the Authentication Enhancements feature.

Manual ISO Service Upgrade

The ISO Service requires a manual upgrade after the 9.1 update due to the new database configuration. For instructions on upgrading, see 9.1 ISO Service Upgrade.

Rapid Returnable Workflow Configuration

After updating ILLiad to v9.1, please contact Rapid staff at rapidill@exlibrisgroup.com. There is a UsesReturnableWorkflow flag that needs to be turned on. If the flag has not been configured when a lender sets a Book request to Filled via the Rapid API and the borrower utilizes the UsesReturnableWorkflow, then instead of setting the request to Filled, it sets it to Shipped.

Updating to 9.1.x

If you are on version 9.0 or a previous version, instead of updating multiple times (e.g., 9.0 to 9.1, and then 9.1 to 9.1.3), you can uninstall 9.0 and install fresh at 9.1.x

ILLiad 9.1 Features & Fixes 

Addons | Administrative | Authentication | Connection Manager | Decision Support for Request Processing | DOCLINE | Email | ISO | Odyssey | RAPID | Staff Client | Staff Customization Manager | Staff Manager | Web Interface |  Web Platform

Addons

New

Added support for addon history entries added to the Request Form using the ExecuteCommand("AddHistory", {TransactionNumber, Entry, Username}).

Administrative  

New

ILLiad 9.0 and 9.1 are now supported to run on Windows Server 2019. 
Fixed

Fixed issue where the ILLiad API was not using database defaults for creating new requests. For example, a request would not appear on the ILLiad reports even though it was in the Client if the CopyrightAlreadyPaid key is set to Null via the API since the reports are looking for the default value of No or Yes. Bug# 4093

Authentication 

New

Added Authentication Enhancements that allow ILLiad to validate patron registration through their external authentication system by verifying access and importing relevant user information. At each login, ILLiad will validate credentials and verify access as well as update any relevant identity information. For more information, see Authentication Enhancements. 
New

Through the use of Automatic User Creation, ILLiad will now create a user record automatically based on identity information provided by an external authentication system for unregistered users who login to ILLiad. This feature is supported by the Authentication Enhancements feature. For more information, see Automatic User Creation. Removed the Customization Key RemoteAuthUserVariable and replaced it with a line item in the RemoteAuthValidation table.
 New

The Account Number field is no longer included by default web pages. Instead, a new Customization key, ShowAccountsPageWithDefaultAccount, has been added to indicate if the user should be shown the UserAccounts page after registration if a default billing account is added for the user. If the key is set to no, the user will be directed to their requested page as it normally would.
 New

Sites will be able to force patrons to update their user information by Auto Expiring Users. Four new Customization Keys have been added to support auto expiration: 

  • AutoExpireUsers
  • AutoExpireUsersClearedValue 
  • RenewedUsersClearedValue
  • AutoUpdateExpiration

For more information, see Automatic Expiration of Users.
New

Added SLUserLockedOut, UserLoginAttemptsBeforeLock, and UsingUserLockout Customization Keys to temporarily block web users after a configurable number of invalid password login attempts. In support of temporarily blocking web users after exceeding the failed login limit, the two new columns have been added to the user's table (FailedLoginCount and Locked). See Temporarily Block Web User for Failed Login Attempts for more information. 
New

The DLL will now check to ensure that a user entering the system through a remote authentication endpoint matches an existing ILLiad user in both username and authentication type. In the case where a new RemoteAuth user's username has already been taken by a user created with the basic ILLiad authentication type, the RemoteAuth user will be redirected to the Error.html page upon the initial login attempt and the text configured in the new SLSingleSignInUsernameInUse Customization Key will appear. See RemoteAuth: Authentication Process for more information.

Connection Manager

Changed Removed the DevExpress MemData component that caches transaction statuses from the Connection Manager and replaced it with JSON functionality.
Fixed

Fixed issue where the updater may cause a hang-up in the Client if it receives a 404 response when trying to download the update executable. Bug# 4007
Fixed

Fixed an issue that would generate an Undo Shipped error "Received unexpected undo shipped message for transaction from [lender symbol]" when an item was Checked In from a lender with a lowercase lender symbol. Bug# 3989

Decision Support for Request Processing

New

The Decision Support Pipeline (DSP) combines the power of addons, pipelines, stages, business rules, and routing rules to gather data from external systems in an effort to help make better fulfillment decisions and automate the borrowing request process for both articles and loans. 

For more information, see the new DSP articles below: 

New addons supported by DSP:

DOCLINE

As a part of the 9.1 update, the ILLiad client installer will update the DOCLINE scripts to accommodate the URL change which will occur on January 1st, 2020. For information on this change, please see the DOCLINE FAQ.

New

Added support for handling requests placed using the "Place Requests - PMIDs" borrowing option. If the request is placed through the DOCLINE web interface, the lending library will receive a separate transaction number for each item requested. Since each DOCLINE request must be associated with a single ILLiad request, multiple borrowing requests using the Place Requests - PMID is not supported.
Changed

The DOCLINE scripts (v3.2) have been updated to use the new DOCLINE URL https://docline.gov. The DOCLINE scripts will be updated as a part of the 9.1 update. 
Changed

Removed the DOCLINE username and password customization keys since DOCLINE 6.0 no longer allows for automatic authentication into the website and requires each user to have a unique username and password.
Fixed

Fixed issue where the default shipping option value for articles in Docline is being set to the default shipping value of loans. When the lending library imports the lending request, it imports the LenderAddresses. The DefaultShippingMethodLoan value was being placed into the Transactions.ShippingOptions field instead of using the LenderAddresses.DefaultShippingMethodArticle value. Bug# 4028

Email

Fixed

Fixed issue where the email and SMS template tag processor does not properly handle parameters that have a right angle bracket. The RegEx used assumes the first right angle bracket is part of the tag instead of a bracket inside the tag parameter. Bug# 1470

ISO

Change/Fixed

The ISO Service requires a manual upgrade after the 9.1 update due to the new database configuration and the OpenJDK bundle. For instructions on upgrading, see 9.1 ISO Service Upgrade.

  • Database Configuration: The ILLiad 9.1 ISOService has been changed to connect to the ILLiad database using the SQL DBC file. 
  • OpenJDK: The ILLiad 9.1 ISOService no longer requires Java 8 to be installed on the server. The ISO Service is now bundled with the OpenJDK (an open-source implementation of the Java platform) and does not require an Oracle Java license. 

As a part of the configurations, new installs of the ISO Service Manager will be installed via a ps1 PowerShell script instead of the InstallService.bat.
Fixed

Fixed issue where the ESPNumber and InstitutionSymbol are not being set on outgoing ISO requests resulting in the error message "Could not execute JDBC batch update". Bug# 1453

Odyssey

Changed

Updated the Odyssey Client to retrieve requests by an alternative ID  (e.g., IDFormElectronicDelivery.ImportOdysseyUnmatchedRequests) instead of just the OdysseySystemID.
Changed/Fixed

Updated the Odyssey Manager to check if the lending library is a Trusted CopyrightPayer. If the lending library is a CopyrightPayer, then the CopyrightAlreadyPaid field will be checked. Bug# 4491

RAPID

New

Enhanced RAPID/RAPIDR integration with live RAPID status updates, support for variable due dates, ability to share RAPID symbols in Shared Server setups, and capability to determine if the lender has shipped an item through the RAPID API. Note: Most of these feature enhancements (e.g., live status updated) require both the lending and borrowing institutions to have updated to v9.1 to utilize. For more information, see the ILLiad 9.1 FAQ under the RAPID heading. 

Staff Client

Changed Removed the Atlas Systems and OCLC ILLiad web links from Systems ribbon.
Changed Removed the OCLC Resource Sharing Settings interface within the client (the interface used to change Custom Holdings Paths, Custom Holdings Groups, Constant Data, and Direct Request Profiles) and replaced it with a button that links out to the OCLC Interface where the updated settings are located. This allows OCLC to rapidly change the Service Config without having to maintain a duplicate interface or breaking ILLaid until an update can be released. You may need to contact OCLC to get credentials to access Service Configuration if you have not accessed previously. These credentials are different than the 9-digit authorization number and password that you used previously.
Fixed Fixed issue where the transaction status that displays in the lower left-hand corner of the Client status bar on a request form is not visible when using some skins due to the color contrast with the default black text. Bug# 4166
 Fixed Fixed issue where the Outgoing Notification grid columns reset their size whenever the Outgoing Notifications are closed or the client is restarted. Bug# 3927
 Fixed Fixed issue where closing the client after switching sites using `Login as...` caused an error pop-up and would sometimes cause a temporary crash in ILLiad client. Bug# 3980
 Fixed Removed several deprecated OCLC WsKey URLs from messages as a result of the shortened OCLC domain causing the missing WSKey prompt in the Client. Bug# 3788 
Fixed Fixed issue where the DocDel form would not save grid layout customizations in the Staff Client. Bug# 3758
Fixed Fixed issue where grouping a column row by a field (e.g., username) in Document Delivery (DD) Stacks Searching would prompt an error message in the Client. Bug# 4172
Fixed Fixed issue where the "TransactionNumber could not be determined from the OCLC request." error appears when a staff user clicks the Show button on a borrowing request that is linked to an OCLC request in the Cancelled status. Bug# 3595
Fixed Fixed the error dialog message for requests that have been resubmitted with a previous OCLC status of Cancelled. The error message will now include a more descriptive message instead of saying"Nullable object must have a value". Bug# 3594
Fixed Fixed issue where the OCLC Request form would not properly open for completed requests if they have a WorldShare ILL Status of Closed and disposition of Supplied. Bug# 3787
Fixed Fixed issue where the spaces  at the beginning or ending of a password were being trimmed off in the web but not in the client. Bug# 4490
Fixed Fixed issue where the ClientUpdateLocation Customization Key does not allow index files with names other than "ClientUpdates.xml". Bug# 4006

Staff Customization Manager

New

Added SLPasswordResetInvalidEmail, a status line customization key that displays when a invalid username attempts to reset their password with an email address that doesn't match the email ILLiad has on file.
Changed Changed the value requirements for the SLPasswordResetEmailConfirmation customization key. To ensure the privacy and security of the user account, we recommend the value for the SLPasswordResetEmailConfirmation and SLPasswordResetInvalidEmail customization keys should match. This will prevent ILLiad from revealing if an account exists for that particular email address.
Changed The ServerAddons Table has been removed from the database since it was replaced by the Addons Table in the 8.7 release and will no longer be used.
 Fixed Fixed issue where dragging the last server from the included listbox to the available servers listbox and then saving during a ZSearch with no included servers would cause an error in the Customization Manager. Bug# 1456
 Fixed Fixed issue where creating or editing a Z39.50 server would not clear the yellow highlighted indicator in the modified ISSN search field after changes are saved in the Customization Manager. Bug# 1481

Staff Manager

Fixed Fixed issue where database connection problems would result in an 'Unhandled Exception' error upon startup of the Staff Manager. Bug# 3775
Fixed Fixed issue where status messages were showing up multiple times on the bottom status bar of the Staff Manager. Bug# 3826

Web Interface

New New fully accessible and responsive web pages that adhere to WCAG 2.1 & Section 508 compliance. The new web pages are not installed automatically to prevent overwriting any customizations your institution may have created. The complete set of 9.1 webpages are available for download on the ILLiad Downloads. For more information, see ILLiad 9.1 Fully Accessible and Responsive Web Pages. 
Change

Hidden user fields are no longer required on HTML forms to preserve the values in the user record. The DLL will only update the data in the database for user fields that exist on the HTML form instead of updating al the fields. 
Fixed Fixed issue where in some cases ILLiad users can login unprompted for password change if WebAuthType=RemoteAuth and users AuthType=Default. Bug# 4214

Web Platform

Changed Changed the name of the Web Report RequestSentByHour's filename when exported. The filename prefix was being set incorrectly to 'RequestsSentbyDay' instead of 'RequestSentByHour.' Bug# 2764
Fixed Fixed issue where the ElecDelTurnaroundTime WebReport would cause an error when attempting to download the report due to a visible ungrouped date column. Bug# 2765 
Fixed

Fixed issue in Web Reports where the Article Details Grid will leave the transaction parameters blank for the Turnaround Time Reports when exported to excel. Bug# 3931
Fixed

Fixed an ILLiad and Aeon integration issue that was causing the ExternalRequestController to error out when checking for an Aeon status that had not yet been created in Aeon. The ExternalRequestController will no longer check the Aeon status if the ExternalID is set to null. Bug# 3829
 

ILLiad 9.1.x Point Release Notes

16 January 2020 (9.1.1) Client & Customization Manager Release

In conjunction with the Web DLL release, a revised set of web pages that adhere to the changes mentioned below are now available for download on the ILLiad Downloads page.

Fixed Fixed a bug that was preventing RAPID Lending requests from downloading correctly for shared server sites who share a RAPID symbol but have different branches. Bug# 4834
Fixed Fixed the document type tag to mitigate the potential risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) in the ILLiad web pages. Bug# 4766
Fixed Fixed how ILLiad handles the HTTP headers to mitigate the potential risk of cross-frame scripting (XFS) in the ILLiad web pages. The Customization Key HttpContentSecurityPolciyHeader was added to add the Content Security Policy header to responses from the webserver. The Customization key HttpXFrameOptionsHeader will add the X Frame Options header. The values for the key are deny, sameorigin, and allow-from (uri). For more information, see Web XFS Prevention.
Fixed
Fixed an issue where the ILLiad WebAlerts may contain HTML tags in both the title and the body of the message.

There are no special styling requirements for these elements; therefore, adding HTML to the WebAlert message will change the default styling. Bug# 4540
Fixed

Fixed the Automatic User Creation feature to include support for user notifications preferences. 

  • The Notification Method for all users will be set to Electronic by default unless an alternative value is passed through when a request is submitted. The default can be changed to one of the acceptable values of Phone or Mail by adding an entry to the RemoteAuthValidation table. 
  • The Account Notification Preferences (e.g., account cleared) and Request Notification Preferences (e.g., item shipped) will be set to Email by default for all new users. The default can be changed to Text/SMS by adding an entry to the RemoteAuthValidation table. Bug# 4808
NotificationPreferences.jpg

 

6 February 2020 (9.1.1) System Manager, (9.1.2) DLL & Database Components Server Release

Changed The ILLiad API now automatically truncates field lengths to fall within the appropriate character limit when making calls to the database in order to prevent the call from failing.
Changed Added the GetBuildInfoShowDetailed Customization Key to control whether HTTP Headers and Server Variables are displayed when using the GetBuildInfo in the Web DLL. If set to Yes, the HTTP headers will display once and then toggle to change the key's value to no. Note: This is a system-level setting and should not be changed by sites. 
Fixed Fixed an issue where the RemoteAuthValidation would prevent the ILLiad web DLLs from looking at IIS server variables when determining remote authentication details, such as the username. The RemoteAuthValidation was only checking for HTTP headers. Since it's more secure to retrieve the web request's special fields from the IIS server variables than from the HTTP headers, by default ILLiad will now only consider server variables when retrieving the values of RemoteFieldName from the RemoteAuthValidation table. Legacy behavior is still supported, where ILLiad will consider both server variables and HTTP headers when mapping RemoteAuth fields. The UseLegacyRemoteAuthHandling Customization key was added to retrieve RemoteAuth fields from HTTP headers and server variables in support of the legacy behavior. This key is set to No for new installations but will be set to Yes by default for all sites upgrading to v9.1.2, in order to not break existing RemoteAuth configurations. Bug# 5154
Fixed Fixed an issue that prevented fields from displaying at the correct width within the default web pages. Bug# 5062
Fixed Fixed an issue where the wrong ID was assigned to the Username field on NewUserRegistration form. Bug# 5066
Fixed Fix an issue where the Search button on the Navbar was green instead of utilizing the default blue for consistency. In addition, the size of the button was adjusted for consistency. Bug# 5071
Fixed Fixed an issue that was preventing custom queues from being added to the list of business rule targets for shared server installations when utilizing the Decision Support Pipeline feature. Bug# 4961
Fixed

Fixed an issue where custom statuses set in the DisplayStatus table (e.g., using "Ready for Pickup or Checked Out" as a display status for "Checked Out to Customer") would not display certain menu options (e.g., renew, clone, etc.) in the patron web pages because the <#MENU> tag would not read the custom statuses as a valid status. Bug# 5050
Fixed Fixed an issue where LDAP users who attempted to create a new user after coming in through an OpenURL link would be sent to the Main Menu instead of the Request Page after registration. Bug#5018
Fixed Fixed an issue where the batch Copyright Clearance processing form would check to see if the request was at the 'Awaiting Copyright Clearance' status to ensure the request wasn't being processed by someone else simultaneously. When checking for the status of the request, ILLiad should have considered the 'Awaiting Copyright Clearance - Pipeline' status to also be a valid status. Instead, this status was seen as invalid and would prevent latter requests from being processed. Bug# 4930
 Fixed

Fixed an issue where the lending returns would now refresh the OCLC or Rapid status on the batch processing form. Bug# 4867
Fixed

Fixed an issue where the change user password form would display a second time after the user had already changed their password if their previous password was expired. Bug# 4795

28 February 2020 (9.1.3) DLL Release

Fixed Fixed an issue where the RemoteAuthValidation would trigger WebValidation errors (e.g., missing daytime phone) on the NewAuthRegistration form the first time the form loads. These errors were a result of the Auto User Creation not being able to pre-populate certain fields; however, it appears misleading to patrons since they see these errors before they've had a chance to complete the registration form.

9 April 2020 Web Page Release

To implement these changes, you can either:

Changed Updated JQuery to 3.4.1 on ILLiad default web pages.
Fixed Updated ILLiad web pages to prevent a potential external link vulnerability.
Fixed On LendingGenericRequestArticle.html and EditLendingGenericRequestArticle.html, the input tag for the request type and been added. Bug# 5935
Fixed  The EditArticleRequest form name tag has been updated to EditLendingGenericRequestArticle, and the value in the input tag has been updated from WebRequest to EditLendingGenericRequestArticle in the EditLendingGenericRequestArticle.html file to stop the duplication of a request after editing the original. These changes have been mimicked in the EditLendingGenericRequestLoan.html file. Bug# 5969
 Fixed The ID's for Password and Re-enter Password divs for NewUserRegistration.html have been updated to Password1 and Password2.
 Fixed For both borrowing and lending, HTML and CSS have been updated to align the radio buttons vertically for viewing search results.
Fixed 
Removed any redundant target=_self tags from the default web pages.
 
Fixed 
In ILLiad lending pages, the atlasCookieConsent.js and the cookieconsent.min.js have been updated to resolve the returning cookie consent banner.
Fixed 
Both borrowing and lending pages, required spans have been correct to be consistently within the ERROR spans.
 Fixed
In both borrowing and lending pages for ILLiad, searches without any results will now properly show "no results" on the ViewSearchResults.html and also works with the LendingViewSearchResults.html.
Fixed
A thorough review of the pages has been performed and corrected for keywords like "special collections" in ILLiad.
Fixed
Resolved a 404 error by updating the search form to point illiad.dll to illiadlending.dll.
Fixed
Fixed the inconsistency between icons for the Lending Long and Logon2 pages.

02 June 2020 (1.3) Atlas Auth Portal Release

This release includes changes to the Atlas Auth Portal in an effort to close a potential redirect vulnerability that will require some modifications to the index.cshtml and web.config files. The Atlas Auth portal installer can be obtained from the ILLiad Downloads. For step-by-step instructions on implementing the 1.3 release, see Atlas Auth Portal 1.3 Release Configuration.

Changed  The redirectUrl parameter has been replaced with the authType parameter. The accepted authType values are AtlasAuth and RemoteAuth. For details, see the Using an Authentication Portal Landing article under Automatic Redirect Feature.
Changed The RedirectUrlCookieName setting has been removed and replaced with the AuthTypeCookieName which defaults to AtlasAuthType.

07 July 2020 (1.3.1) Atlas Auth Portal Release

The Atlas Auth Portal has been updated to support some additional redirect URL configurations for sites for who are not currently on version 1.3.0 of the Atlas Auth Portal. This change is backwards compatible with v1.3.0; therefore, there is no reason for sites who are currently on v1.3.0 to update the Atlas Auth Portal. They can just add the changes to the Web.Config file.

The Atlas Auth portal installer can be obtained from the ILLiad Downloads. 

Changed

When adding a key for an AuthType in the Web.Config file, two new specifiers ({$QueryString} and {$EncodedQueryString}) are now supported to help designate where the URL query parameters will be inserted into the target URL. For instructions on adding the target URLs in the Web.Config, see Atlas Auth Portal 1.3.x Release Configuration.

 

2 September 2020 (9.1.2) Client Release

This point release has been removed and replaced with version 9.1.3.

Those who have updated ILLiad to the 9.1.2 Client Release (the 9.0.4 update released is unaffected) today, September 2nd, 2020, may need to manually add the OCLC Status field back to the Borrowing and Lending Request Forms. This problem has occurred for users who have customized saved layouts in the Client. For users who have yet to update to v9.1.2, the release has been temporarily removed from the update server until development has pushed out an update to prevent the removal of the OCLC status. We have identified the problem and hope the push out a fix later this week or early next week. For details on adding the External Request Status (aka OCLC Status) field back to the request form, see Adding the External Request Status.

Changed
The following fields from the database have been made as optional fields to add to the Request Details form:  
TAddress
TAddress2
TAddress3
TCity
TState
TZip
TCountry
TFax
TEMailAddress
TNumber
 
For details on adding these fields to the Client, see The Borrowing Request Form.
Changes
The Decision Support Pipeline will now generate recommendations for transactions regardless of whether or not fulfillment data has been generated. Also, if a fulfillment source hasn't been identified by a DSP addon(s), a transaction can now be automatically routed to a specific DSP queue. To enable this functionality, the "Queue" business rule must be placed after any other "Addon" or "System" business rules for the pipeline.  
 
Previously, a business rule with a target type of "Queue" would only lead to a recommendation under the following circumstances:
1. The transaction matched the business rule.
2. No previous business rule in the pipeline had generated a recommendation.
3. At least one addon generated fulfillment data for the transaction. 
   

 

2 September 2020 (9.1.2) System Manager Server Release

Changes 
The ILLiad Client can now automatically update the Docline scripts as new versions become available. The scripts will be installed in the new default location: 
C:\ProgramData\ILLiad\Docline\ in addition to their typical location. To enable this functionality, set the 
DoclineAutoUpdateEnabled key to Yes. Set the DoclineAutoUpdateFieldTranslations key to Yes to automatically update the 
FieldTranslation.xml and LendingFieldTranslation.xml pages when updating the Docline scripts. For configuration instructions, see Docline Automatic Update.
Changed
The Electronic Delivery form now checks the OdysseyAltId as well as OdysseySystemId when importing requests to ensure files are being matched correctly.  
Fixed
Fixed an issue that would cause the ILLiad Client and Odyssey Manager to crash when merging and converting certain PDFs. The Odyssey Manager will now utilize a new AtlasPDF Utility to handle PDF merging and conversions. Users will not need to need to configure the Atlas PDF Utility; Odyssey Manager will continue to merge, convert, and deliver PDFs automatically.

08 September 2020 (9.1.3) Client Release

The 9.1.2 Client release has been removed and replaced with v9.1.3. The 9.1.3 Client release includes all the same features from the v9.1.2 along with an additional bug fix for an issue that occurred after the 9.1.2 update. If you have already updated to v9.1.2, you will still receive a prompt to update to the current version.

Fixed
Fixed an issue where the External Request Status (aka OCLC Status) was being removed from both the borrowing and lending forms for users who have customized saved layouts in the Client. Users were having to manually add this field back to the request forms; the 9.1.3 update prevents the removal of this field.

05 November 2020 (9.1.3) System Manager, (9.1.4) DLL & (9.1.3) Odyssey Manager Server Release

The update includes the following component updates:

  • Borrowing DLL 9.1.4
  • Odyssey Manager 9.1.3
  • System Manager 9.1.3
  • Atlas PDF 1.0.4
Fixed Released version 1.0.4 of the AtlasPDF tool to correct a bug that would prevent certain embedded fonts within PDFs from processing correctly and being converted to one of the default fonts. 
Fixed

Fixed an issue where the WebSession ID would break in the ILLiad borrowing DLL (e.g., illiad.dll) and would prevent ILLiad from blocking duplicate submissions when a RemoteAuth user refreshed a form or double-clicked the submit button. Bug# 9013
Fixed
The System Manager will now create separate database connection pools for each addon that creates database connections. This prevents addons from exhausting the shared connection pool, which could lead to the System Manager being unable to connect to the database. This value can be changed by the AddonConnectionPoolSize customization key used to set the integer value reflecting the desired pool size. Default value: 25 simultaneous database connections. 

19 November 2020 (9.1.4) Odyssey Manager Server Release

Changed
Added support for multiple Odyssey system IDs for a site. The Odyssey Manager will replace the receiver's address with the value in the OdysseySystemID customization key in both the Odyssey header file (e.g., the XML file in the odyssey\receive\received folder) and in the Receiver field of the OdysseyReceived database table.

08 April 2021 (3.2.4) DOCLINE Scripts Release

The DOCLINE LUA Scripts on the ILLiad Downloads page have been updated with the latest version (3.2.4). To implement these changes:

  • DOCLINE Automatic Updater - If you enabled the auto-updater, the client will prompt to update as soon as the new scripts become available. If you just enabled the updater keys recently, you may need to close and re-open the client to receive the prompt. 
    A known bug is causing ILLiad to load the old scripts instead of the new ones, even after the auto-updater has run. In order to run the new scripts in ILLiad, you must manually replace the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\ILLiad\Docline\ with the contents of C:\ProgramData\ILLiad\Docline after the auto-updater finishes its installation.
  • Manually replacing the scripts - Download the scripts and replace the current scripts (default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\ILLiad\Docline). Note: depending on your institution's setup, you may need administrative privileges to replace the scripts and/or may need to contact your local IT support for assistance. 
Fixed

Fixed an issue that was preventing the "Import All" button from importing requests.
Fixed

Fixed an issue that was preventing the Lending Updating form from updating requests.
Changed

When submitting a borrowing request for an open-access article or an article that appears to be a duplicate request, ILLiad will now pause on the warning message that DOCLINE displays during the automated Search and Fill and Search and Send processes so that the user can see the warning and make changes to the request before sending.

15 April 2021 (3.2.5) DOCLINE Scripts Release

The DOCLINE LUA Scripts on the ILLiad Downloads page have been updated with the latest version (3.2.5).

Due to a bug with the DOCLINE Automatic Updater, the scripts for this release must be manually updated. Please see the DOCLINE 3.2.5 Scripts community post for specific instructions on performing this update.

For complete details, including configuration information and the download link, please see ILLiad ReShare Server Addon.

31 August 2021 Default Web Release

The 9.1.x web page download on the ILLiad downloads page has been updated with the latest version of the default web pages. To implement these changes:

New

Added a blank custom.js page to the default web pages for site-specific custom JavaScript changes and a blank custom.css page to the default web pages for site-specific custom CSS changes. 
Changed

Two changes were made to all relevant default web pages in order to meet accessibility requirements:

  • Added the "required" attribute to all default required fields that will function in addition to the pre-existing '<span class="req">(required)</span>' tag on these fields to indicate that they are required.

    Adding the "required" attribute will also add some additional browser validation to your web forms. To learn more about these changes and to find information on an alternative "aria-required" attribute that you can implement instead to meet accessibility requirements, see Required Field Validation Options for Web Forms.
  • Added the "formnovalidate" attribute to all Cancel buttons.
Changed

Removed the "new-line" CSS class from the default CSS and replaced all <span> elements using the "new-line" class attribute with <div> elements. 
Changed

Added value attributes to all hardcoded dropdown options (those defined explicitly in the HTML rather than in the CustomDropDown Table) to ensure that ILLiad will remember the user's selection when editing a request or redoing a field after a failed validation.
Changed

Removed non-breaking spaces on the lendingWebAlerts.js and webAlerts.js files and added the "mr-1" class to both these files and the DataRow template files to provide a better format for spacing. 
Fixed

Updated ThesisRequest.html and EditThesisRequest.html to use the Article fields instead of Loan fields to collect request information in order to fix an issue where Thesis requests were submitted with the Article request type but would populate Loan Info fields in the ILLiad Client. Additionally, an incorrect "required" tag was removed from the Author/Editors field and the 'required' attribute was added to the Title field. Bug# 7323

After implementing this change, the default entries for ThesisRequest and EditThesisRequest in the Customization Manager's WebValidation table should be changed from validating against LoanTitle to instead validate against the PhotoJournalTitle field.  
Fixed

Fixed an issue where clicking the Cancel button on NewAuthRegistration.html would send an unregistered user back to the same page instead of exiting the ILLiad system. The Cancel button will now send the user to the location specified in the RemoteAuthWebLogoutURL customization key. Bug# 12648

Note: This change also applies to ExpiredUsers.html, but this page is not included by default in the ILLiad web pages. If your institution maintains an ExpiredUsers.html page, click here for more information.  
Fixed

Changed duplicate class attributes on the include_TransactionMenu.html Borrowing and Lending pages to use only one class attribute according to optimal HTML practice. Bug# 10147

26 October 2021 (3.2.7) DOCLINE Scripts Release

The DOCLINE LUA Scripts on the ILLiad Downloads page have been updated with the latest version (3.2.7).

Due to a bug with the DOCLINE Automatic Updater, the scripts for this release must be manually updated. Please see the DOCLINE 3.2.7 Scripts community post for specific instructions on performing this update. 
Changed

Changed the Update Docline Requests button on the Lending Ribbon to point to the updated URL for Docline Lending Updating. 

06 December 2021 (9.1.4) Client Release

Version 9.1.4 of the ILLiad Client is now available on the ILLiad Downloads page. This release will update the ILLiad Client to use the latest version of the Copyright Clearance Center's (CCC) web service in order to keep integration with this service up to date.

All default ILLiad addons will be backed up to whichever version of each addon you have installed on your workstation prior to updating and restored during the update process.

Update Required for CCC Users

As the CCC plans to phase out support for the old web service, implementing the new web service is required to continue using the CCC copyright processing functionality in ILLiad without future interruption. Please plan to update ILLiad to v9.1.4 or the forthcoming v9.2 by August 31st, 2022 to ensure that you do not experience any disruptions to copyright processing in the ILLiad Client. If you do not use the CCC searching and ordering functions in ILLiad, no update is required.
New

Updated ILLiad to use the new Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) web service in order to keep integration with this service functional. The changes made by the CCC to the APIs used in its new web service have required several changes to the CCC configuration settings in the ILLiad Customization Manager and to the copyright search and ordering process and controls in the ILLiad Client.

Please review the ILLiad Copyright Processing Changes After the CCC Web Service Update for complete information on each of these changes.

CCC Account Now Required for Searching

The CCC no longer supports anonymous searching, meaning that you will need to create a CCC Marketplace account if your institution does not have one already in order to perform CCC searches in ILLiad. If your institution does not use ILLiad to perform CCC copyright searches and orders, then you will not need to set up a CCC Marketplace account after updating. For more information on using the Process Copyright screen with a CCC account after the update, see Using ILLiad Copyright Processing Without a CCC Marketplace Account After the 9.1.4/9.2 Update.

After the account is created, you must configure it to work with ILLiad using the CCCUsername and CCCPassword keys in the ILLiad Customization Manager. Accounts can be created on the CCC's website:

  • Note that when creating an account, you will need to select to create a corporate account and not an individual account. If your existing CCC account is an individual account, you will need to create a separate corporate account to use with ILLiad.
  • After creating your account, you will need to contact the CCC to request to switch your default payment method to invoice. If your payment method is not switched, you will not be able to submit copyright orders through ILLiad. All new accounts created within the past 6 months will need to complete this step before processing copyright orders.
RightsLink accounts are not compatible with the new CCC web service. If your existing account is a RightsLink account, you will need to create a new CCC Marketplace account following the instructions above.
Before creating a new CCC account, please attempt to log into the CCC Marketplace using existing credentials or use the "Forgot your password?" option if you have forgotten your password. Please only create a new CCC account if you cannot find your username or if you have never previously registered for an account.

The following configuration settings have changed in the ILLiad Customization Manager:

  • If not already configured, the CCCUsername and CCCPassword customization keys (located under Borrowing | Copyright) will need to contain valid CCC account information for your institution. 
  • All CCC orders must now include a billing address, which is drawn from the BillingAddress fields for each ILLiad site configured in the Customization Manager's LocalInfo table. Please ensure that these fields are filled out and that they match the billing address on your CCC Marketplace account.

  • If your institution operates in multiple countries, your institutional CCC account may contain multiple Location IDs that will now need to be configured in the ILLiad Customization Manager. Please see the ILLiad Copyright Processing Changes After the CCC Web Service Update article for more information.

    If your institution only operates in a single country, you will not need to configure additional location information after the update

The following changes were made to the copyright search and ordering process in the ILLiad Client:

  • Searching now requires valid CCC account credentials to be configured in the ILLiad Customization Manager (i.e., searches cannot be performed anonymously). If your CCC credentials are invalid, you will see an error message stating "Error communicating with CCC." upon attempting a copyright search.
  • Removed the option to search by Publisher or by multiple parameters at once from the Copyright search interface.
  • Searching will now only return one rightsholder for the item selected automatically by the CCC based on the publication year.
  • Items for which it is not possible to determine permissions or copyright costs or for which a special order is required will no longer be returned in search results.
  • The Granted status previously returned in Right field for search results has been changed to Licensing Available. 
  • Copyright orders containing multiple transactions will no longer be grouped under a single invoice number contained in the Order Header field when submitted. Each transaction will only be assigned a unique Order Detail number when the copyright order is placed and these transactions will be grouped into separate invoices by the CCC for payment based on a frequency setting configured on your CCC account. Please see Copyright Order Handling Changes for more information.
  • Removed the Order Status dropdown button and the Cancel Order button from the Borrowing Request form.

  • Added new Copyright Order and Order Placed fields on the Borrowing Request form and changed the label of the CCC Number number field to CCC Publication ID for additional clarity.

    If you are using a customized layout in the Client, then you will have to rename the CCC Number field and add the Copyright Order and Order Placed fields manually to the Borrowing Request form using the layout customization feature. For more details, see the "Enabling the new fields" section of the related documentation.
