New FeaturesNew Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2010

Additionally to DIAdem you can now also use the LabVIEW DataFinder Toolkit as the client of the DataFinder Server Edition.
You can now create a separate indexer scheduler for each search area.
The performance of the index has been improved considerably.
New Features in DataFinder Server Edition 2.0
In the advanced search of your client, connect several values for one search condition, or use OR to connect various search conditions, for example, to search for several filenames.
Use the security settings in DFSE to enable clients to search and browse only in the search areas you specify for sharing. The security settings are based on the rights that you configure in the standard Windows dialog boxes for sharing and security.
In co-operation with the S.E.R. company, DFSE has been linked to the DOXiS archiving system. This enables you to handle large amounts of technical data comfortably and inexpensively.
DFSE 2.0 supports the Windows Server 2008 operating system as well as Windows Server 2003.
Known Issues in the DataFinder Server Edition 2010
If DataFinder Server Edition 2010 is installed on Windows Server 2008 R2, authentication may fail in some network environments. If DataFinder security is enabled in these environments, DataFinder clients such as DIAdem or DataFinder Toolkit cannot connect to a DataFinder server even if they have appropriate access rights.
