OVERVIEW
There are two transfer features in the FileCatalyst HotFolder which
have shown some issues when used simultaneously. The Progressive
feature allows the HotFolder to transfer the file as it grows. The
Incremental feature will limit file transfers to files that are new
or have been modified. The Delta of a file is defined as portions of
the original file that have been modified or changed. Depending on the
Incremental setting selected, either the whole file or File Deltas
will be sent t...

When hosting the FileCatalyst Server on Amazon Web Services (AWS) -
EC2 instances, S3 buckets can be added to the FileCatalyst Server as
an external storage device. Amazon provides libraries that we have
used to integrate this storage device into the Server where we can
read and write to this endpoint.
In FileCatalyst Server v3.6 beta 27, when the Security Group on the
EC2 instance is set to allow all IPs the transfer experiences some
packet loss and when our congestion control algor...

OVERVIEW
FileCatalyst Workflow v4.9.9 introduced a new feature called Strict
Security. This feature requires the use of the Administration account
on the FileCatalyst Server to create and authenticate Virtual Users on
the FileCatalyst Server. On Workflow deployments which have a large
volume of activity the Server Remote Admin connections can multiply
and remain open for long periods of time. These open connections hang
and do not close properly. If you use Strict Security as part of your
deploy...

When you use Java 7 to run the FileCatalyst HotFolder, it can not
delete a task from the HotFolder Web Admin UI. This issue was observed

Overview
Currently, there is a known issue with transferring files that contain
some Asian characters in the file name when using the OpenStack EFS
driver on the FileCatalyst Server.
This is currently impacting our 3.7.1 build 7 and newer releases. This
issue is client independent as the Server contains the driver in
question.
We are actively working to resolve this and will update this
notification when we have news.
Environment
FileCatalyst Server v3.7.1 and newer.
