GoldMine Corporate 7.5 Now Available

Posted by Deborah on July 7, 2008

This is a FREE update for:

1.  Those on Corporate Version 6.7 and current on maintenance. Contact Deborah to obtain new licenses for this upgrade.

2.  Those running Corporate Edition 7.0 and current on maintenance you can obtain this update through the NetUpdate feature in GoldMine. 

WHAT’S ENHANCED IN GOLDMINE CORPORATE EDITION 7.5

Support for Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007 enables integration with the latest versions of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Outlook. Also, the Word and Excel links now are optional components of the main GoldMine installation, rather than being installed separately.

Support for Windows Vista as an end-user operating system.

Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Support for Windows Server 2003 R2, Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Secure SSL connections now are supported in the E-mail Center. To configure an SSL connection, go to Edit > Preferences > E-mail.

The IMAP protocol now is supported in the E-mail Center, providing more security and better interoperability with other e-mail clients. To configure an IMAP e-mail account, go to Edit > Preferences > E-mail.

The E-mail Center now supports integrated Windows authentication using NTLM. With this feature, e-mail access can be set up without entering or updating the password in GoldMine. To configure this option, go to Edit > Preferences > E-Mail.

E-mail Center performance can be configured with the following settings:

1. (New) When messages are deleted in the E-mail Center, they are not immediately deleted from the server until the connection is closed. This behavior provides the fastest performance but can cause deleted messages to reappear as duplicates in some scenarios. If this problem appears, the following <UserName>.INI setting can be used:

[Internet]

PopImmediateDelete=1 (closes server connection after each message is deleted)

The default value for this setting is 0, which keeps the connection open after deleting a message.

2. (New) GoldMine automatically sends periodic messages (“no-ops”) to the e-mail server to keep the connection open for fast response time. By default these messages occur every 10 seconds. Some e-mail servers require more frequent messages to maintain the connection. To change the frequency of these messages, use the following <UserName>.INI setting:

[Internet]

PopNoopTimer=nnnn (where nnnn is the number of seconds between messages)

3. GoldMine automatically disconnects from the e-mail server if it has no related activity for 10 minutes, by default. This is useful, for example, when using both the Online and Auto-retrieve options with an e-mail server that permits only one connection. To change the time delay before automatically disconnecting, use the following <UserName>.INI setting:

[Internet]

PopIdle= nnnn (where nnnn is the number of minutes until disconnect)

Synchronization and database rehosting performance has been enhanced, especially when using the Firebird database.

The 2 GB size limit has been removed for synchronization transfer sets and installation files for one-button synchronization.

Concurrent GoldSync connections are queued to improve reliability. As users connect to a GoldSync server, they automatically are placed in a queue, up to the number of users established in the Number of Connections screen within GoldSync configuration. If simultaneous processing of concurrent connections is required instead of queuing, please contact your Solutions Partner or FrontRange Support Services for recommendations and instructions.

An updated ZIP code database for the United States is available though the QuickStart Wizard.

    What is the latest corporate version right now, and what is the best source to buy it from?

    • Deborah said

      The lastest Corporate Edition of GoldMine is still 7.5.81009. I haven’t heard of anything new in the works for the Corporate Edition. I would suggest buying or upgrading to the Premium Edition which is 8.5. There is great pricing for upgrades through 4/30/09. Contact us at Solutus or any GoldMine Partner to place an order or for more information.
