The latest version of Actian (Pervasive) SQL database engine software, v15, is now available for your AutoEDMS system. ZEN v15 offers several “new features” of interest to AutoEDMS sites, as follows…
- Licensing Changes: ZEN v15 licenses are no longer tied to the entire hardware fingerprint of the server – they are tied ONLY to the hostname. This makes the v15 engine much more hypervisor-friendly for use in virtual machines and full-server failover environments! So if your IT staff has configured the virtual server environment to optimize performance by moving individual virtual machines (servers) as needed, ZEN v15 will eliminate the need to “repair” the license, which is something that happens with PSQL v12 and older versions. In a second important change related to licensing, the ZEN v15 Server engine no longer requires constant internet access to stay activated.
- Online Database Defragmenter: Most PSQL administrators are familiar with the venerable "Rebuild Utility", which can both reclaim deleted space and shrink index structures to their most optimal state. Starting with PSQL v13 is the ability to run this process on "live" files -- while the system is in use! This important new feature will allow you to maintain your database, even in 24x7 operational environments!
- Easier Installation: ZEN v15 brings some new capabilities to ease installation. There will only be ONE Client installer, and it will be smart enough to install all applicable components.
“SR6” Update Now Available for AutoEDMS v6.5
The next update for AutoEDMS v6.5 is "Service Release 6", which includes several enhancements and new features – see SR6 Details for more information.
The “SR6” update is available to AutoEDMS customer sites who have an active “All-in-One” Maintenance Plan with Logical Systems, and who are running v6.5 r2sr5c (SR5c) – you can check your current version/release by picking the ? button on the toolbar.
Customer sites not currently running AutoEDMS v6.5 r2sr5c (SR5c) can be upgraded with a 'migration' method, bringing their site-specific Auto-EDMS data over to a new installation of the SR6 release. A Logical Systems support specialist will assist with the migration to assure that no data is lost in the process, and to assure minimum 'downtime' for your AutoEDMS users.
You can obtain more information about the SR6 update requirements or process by using the "Contact" form on our website.

AutoEDMS Titleblock System
For sites using AutoEDMS to extract attribute data from their AutoCAD drawing titleblocks, a new Form is available which greatly simplifies the configuration over previous manual methods of editing the ATT file… we call this new Form the “AutoEDMS Titleblock System”, also known as the “ATS”. |
Key Features:

- Simple adding of new titleblocks by browsing and selecting a DWG containing the titleblock.
- Ability to configure up to 35 attribute tags for a single titleblock.
- Includes an “Attribute Tester” feature for checking tag names within the titleblock.
