• The procedure of updating the B*Nator agents from B*Nator 2.1.x to B*Nator 2.2.8 has changed!
• Please see the installation guide of B*Nator version 2.2.8 for details of how to install the B*Nator agents.
• Please install B*Nator agents also on your mail, BES database and application servers of your BlackBerry environment! Therefore on each of these servers JAVA 1.5.0.13 or JAVA 1.6.0.6 is required.
• The configuration of BBUA in B*Nator from B*Nator 2.2.5 to B*Nator 2.2.8 has changed!
  • If you have installed the BlackBerry User Administration Service on your BES, please add the configuration once again to B*Nator in menu Administration / host: select your BES: Enter the client password and enable the BBUA on the BES for its own database.

• B*Nator Database Access: B*Nator can now use also Windows accounts to authenticate on MSSQL servers to access the B*Nator database and the BES Management Database. For details how to configure it, please see the SQL user configuration Guide. /XPl 6791

• BES Detail Page: The links to the list of pending users and users without PIN incorrectly created a user list for all BES servers instead of a list for the BES server that is displayed on the detail page. /XPl 6973
• BES Detail Page/Overview: The user count statistics for pending users, users w/o PIN and inactive users were confusing. The inactive user count is now removed, because it was the difference between all used BlackBerry licenses and the number of BlackBerry users on the BES. The criteria used to count the pending users and users w/o PIN have been modified. The number of pending users now matches the number of users showing as "Initializing" and the number of users w/o PIN now matches the number of users with "No PIN" in the BlackBerry Manager. /XPl 7184
• Message Flow: The lines for the average, average +x% and fixed were missing in the chart. /XPl 7192
• B*Nator Module Status: The module status was missing if the last module activity was more than twice the time of the module interval ago. It now is displayed as a warning. This behavior also caused the status information “unknown” (red X) overall B*Nator monitor status. /XPl 7294
• Agent Log Parser: For Domino message flow the "added date" in the log file is no longer used for the NewMail time of the message flow information. Since Domino has its own clock which can be out of synchronization with the system time, the time is not useful to calculate message runtimes. It also caused problems when the BES with the B*Nator agent and the B*Nator monitor are in a different time zone. The BES log timestamp is now used instead. /XPl 7295

• BES DB Parser: When BlackBerry users are found on a mail server which's ServerDN is not known for a mail server yet, it is now checked if a mail server without ServerDN exists on the host where the mail server should be. If a mail server is found on that host it is updated with the new ServerDN and used for the BlackBerry users. The hostname in B*Nator and the hostname extracted from the ServerDN have to match to make this work. /XPl 6433
• Desaster Recovery Report: The list of BES licenses now shows to which BES Management database the license belongs. /XPl 6429
• Notifications/Non Responsive Threads: It is now possible to configure a minimum wait count for non responsive threads that has to be reached before a notification is sent. /XPl 5933
• BES User Detail Page: The common information box now has a link to the logs page of the user's BES server with a search for the user's identifier. /XPl 6210

• Message Flow: Optimize message flow SQL statements to avoid deadlocks. /XPl 564
• Administration/Edit Host: Fixed missing hostname for BlackBerry User Administration Tool configuration when only one BlackBerry Management database was available and added the name of the database as additional information. /XPl 6212
• Domino Monitor: Fixed that Domino Task names are not case sensitive and were added to the database twice if upper and lower case changed. /XPl 6334
• Agent Log Parser: Changed the service restart database table to allow 2 service restarts within one second to avoid problems during log parsing in this case. /XPl 6425
• Administration/B*Nator modules: Fixed that a module with subtasks (current only the Domino Monitor) didn't reload it's configuration when a task was activated or deactivated. /XPl 6430
• Host merging: Fixed that a Domino BES or Domino Mail Server that was moved to a new host during merge still referred the Domino Server of the old host and made it impossible to delete that host. /XPl 6431
• BlackBerry User Administration: Fixed that users with umlauts in their user identifier could not be added using the BlackBerry User Administration of B*Nator. /XPl 6434
• Administration/Proxy Settings: Fixed that the B*Nator Web interface didn't use the proxy settings. /XPl 6547
• Administration/Groups: Fixed that the "+" and "-" links on the group edit page sometimes selected permissions for other hosts. /XPl 5933

• BES detail page: info-blocks can now be disabled in the B*Nator menu administration. /XPl 5804
• Navigation and BES detail page: Settings to show only servers with warnings or errors are now saved in browser cookies and not lost between sessions. /XPl 5939
• BlackBerry User Administration Service can now be installed on any host. /XPl 6077

If you have installed the BlackBerry User Administration Service (BBUA) on your BES, please add the configuration of the BBUA again to B*Nator! In B*Nator menu Administration/Host: select the BES, enter the BlackBerry User Administration Client password and enable the BBUA on the BES for its own database.

• BES log parsing: Fixed that service restarts did not get saved to the B*Nator database and didn't show up in the BES detail page. /XPl 6209

• User Selfservice: The login page for handhelds no longer shows the login form, if the USS login is disabled. /XPl 5615
• B*Nator Traffic Info Channel: Fixed mixed up display of traffic values. /XPl 5798
