Cumulative Updates for SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1

  SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 11 - 14.2.60653.11 (released on 04 February 2020)

This installer, named SDLTradosGroupShare2017_14.1.60653.11.exe (1,5 GB) is a full installer and can be used to install fresh as well as to update from SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1 CU10 (Build 60175). Please contact SDL Support to get access to the installer.

This version can later be upgraded to SDL Trados GroupShare 2020 CU01 or higher (upgrade from this version to SDL Trados GroupShare 2020 RTM is not supported).

This update includes the following changes:

• A new version of the Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server was added. This addresses issues with MultiTerm Server connecting to databases if TLS 1.0/1.1 is disabled (CRQ-12665).
• The „(Beta) Prepare with GroupShare task” now works with large files, and is using multiple TMs properly (only the matches from the first TM were applied previously).
• We’ve also made improvements when using TMs, positively impacting the overall TM apply and update times. To take full advantage of these improvements, it’s required to use the latest SDL Trados Studio 2019 version.

Resolved issues

General:

• The access to the interactive Swagger documentation is now resolved with the default configuration.

Projects:

• Server-based project TMs were not created when creating a project in Trados GroupShare. This is now working as expected.

MultiTerm:

• Fixed an issue that led to a crash of the application when editing a term with two languages.
• The full-text search wasn’t working as expected and not providing the complete results in all applicable cases. This is now addressed.
• Addressed an issue in the MultiTerm Online interface which rendered the concept level fields and the Add Language option unavailable for entries above id 50 (CRQ-12665).

TM:

• Choosing to export multiple server TMs at the same time from GroupShare will no longer check out an equal amount of TM Server CALs (CRQ-16776).
• In specific scenarios it was possible to update TM content without the relevant feature permissions. This is now working as expected (CRQ-12449).
• TranslationModelsContainer is now upgraded to the latest version (CRQ-13972).
• When importing a TMX with specific Japanese content (context data), the import of the TMX fails.

OE:

• When working on a project with an Asian source language, lookups in the Online Editor didn’t work. This is now addressed (CRQ-16435).
• Selected text in the source segment didn’t stay selected. This is now working as expected (CRQ-16749).
• Fixed the installation error „ContainerUpgradeScriptTest has stopped working”. The installation now further works without errors on operating systems using a system language other than English.
• It wasn’t possible to open a document in the Online Editor if it contained a specific comment (CRQ-16839).
• It is now possible to correctly accept or reject a tracked change that only affects a part of specific text part and not just the complete tracked change (CRQ-14700).
• The manual lookup wasn’t possible in specific scenarios. This is now addressed. (CRQ-14694).

  SDL Trados GroupShare 2017 SR1 Cumulative Update 8 - Build 32756 (released 3rd of September 2018)

This installer is a full installer and can be used to install fresh, upgrade from GroupShare 2014/2015 latest CUs, GroupShare 2017 (Build 5111) and GroupShare 2017 SR1 CU07 (Build 20522)

NOTE: 

• Java JRE is a new pre-requisites which will be installed automatically if necessary. If you are asked to reboot, please do so, the installer will automatically resume after reboot.
• Known issue: Translation and Feedback service are known to reserve up to 1GB of RAM each currently, we are working on reducing this footprint for a future Cumulative Update, customers not using the Online Editor can in the meantime disable these services if necessary without functional impact of the software.
• If you have changed the web.config, for example to enable HTTPS, this will be overwritten by the update. You can make a copy of the current web.config and replace it after the upgrade. We will look at improving this behavior for future updates. The default location of this file is C:\Program Files (x86)\SDL\SDL Server\Platform\web.config

This update includes the following fixes:

 New functionality: The Online Editor now displays Term recognition hits from server-based termbases that are used in the project.
 New functionality: You can now create projects that prevent project file downloads for certain users. There is a new permission called Secure Project File Download. Users assigned this permission are the only ones who can download the project files in SDL Trados GroupShare, SDL Trados Studio and SDL Online Editor. Furthermore, users in the Online Editor are prevented from copying text. This feature enforces customer data confidentiality by restricting data access to authorized personnel only.
 New functionality: The Online Editor has been updated and now provides a better user experience based on customer feedback.
 New functionality: Introduced a undo check-out mechanism to allow check-in of files when conversion from Online Editor to SDLXLIFF failed.

 Performance enhancements for SDL Trados GroupShare:

• Optimized the performance of TM lookup operations, which provide a ~20% performance increase compared to CU07 and earlier.
• Optimized the performance of TM confirm operations when confirming segments.
• Significantly overhauled the TM Maintenance search algorithm, which is now significantly faster when not using RegEx. This now also prevents the timeout that caused an "An error occurred when searching the Translation Memory. The TM may contain invalid Translation Units." error.
  Note: For this fix to apply you also need at least Studio 2019 or a future Studio 2017 CU as it involved changes on both ends.
• Opening the settings page in SDL Trados Studio is now significantly faster

• The default timeout for server farms was increased from 30 seconds to 10 minutes to avoid timeout issues with long-running operations.
• Updated the online documentation with supported browser information.

  Resolved issues for SDL Trados GroupShare:

• Removed validation from due dates fields in assignment view to allow more flexibility
• Resolved an issue where searching for TMs by name in the Web UI would throw an error
