Fixes

12.0.0 Fixes:

Downloads

Your existing FileWave Server must be version 10.x or higher before you can upgrade to FileWave 12.x.
Please take a moment to run the Migration Check tool ( http://mc.filewave.com ) before performing your upgrade.

Upgrading

Please read: https://filewave.com/kb/upgrade-filewave 

This article contains important information that will help ensure your upgrade runs smoothly.  It is strongly advised that you review this for each release, since new notes or instructions may have been added.

FileWave 12 will require updated backup scripts, please be sure to update these after a successful upgrade.

Upgrading to FileWave 12 will require upgrading your FileWave Imaging Appliance (IVS) to version 5.0 or greater. FileWave 12 servers will not communicate with older IVS installations. The FileWave Engage Server must be version 1.2.0 or greater for compatibility.

VPP

VPP Device Assignment requires that your iOS devices are upgraded to iOS 9 -- creating "VPP Device Assignment" associations to iOS 8 devices may cause loss of user data!

The new feature of VPP app assignment to devices will cause the creation of a VPP user with no organization linked to all MDM Apple devices (iOS and macOS). If you have queries that fetch the VPP users for VPP organization, you'll have to add a criteria "VPP Organization.token name is not null."

It is not recommended to convert all associations from user to device association at once, as Apple limits the number of requests per min. Read more at https://filewave.com/kb/vpp-device-assignment

Location Tracking

The location reporting feature in FileWave is disabled by default.
It is recommended that you verify that this feature is in accordance with your organization’s policies and AUP (Acceptable Use Policy). Notify your end users before activating location reporting, as enabling the feature will prompt for permission to location information.

In order to avoid problems with migrating database internal structures please make sure that you use a local administrator account, not domain administrator, when performing FileWave Server upgrade on Windows platform.

Linux Downloads

Note: Use the following command to download and unzip the installers:

wget https://fwdl.filewave.com/12.0.0/FileWave_Linux_12.0.0.zip

unzip FileWave_Linux_12.0.0.zip


Since v11+ only has one installer (that installs both mdm and server), the old standalone mdm will be removed automatically when doing an upgrade. This does not delete any mdm data.

To install or upgrade the FileWave Server , use the following :

yum install -y --nogpgcheck fwxserver-12.0.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm

To install or upgrade the FileWave Booster , use the following :

yum install -y --nogpgcheck fwbooster-12.0.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm

iOS Downloads

This is a native app version of the traditional Web Clip kiosk/app portal that is sent to devices ; it provides for a better end user experience and is highly recommended for iOS 8 devices (required for location information).
