The Vocera Messaging Platform (VMP) provides an enterprise messaging solution
designed to address the unique communication challenges of healthcare. Users can leverage the
communication capabilities of VMP
from the Vocera Collaboration Suite,
Vocera Secure Texting, the
VMP Web Console, and the Vocera badge and
Smartbadge.
For detailed documentation on Vocera Messaging Platform,
refer to Vocera Messaging Platform.
For the previous versions of the release notes, refer to the
Vocera Release Notes Library.
Warning: If you are running a version of
Vocera Voice Server older than 5.3.2,
messages sent from the
VMP Server to badges
may not show all the correct features, including response options.
Workaround: Update Vocera Voice Server to version 5.3.2 or later.
Vocera strongly recommends using the same version of the Vocera Voice Server
and VMP.
No new features or functionality in this release.
This section lists important feature changes.
-
VCS Connection Management
Upgrading to VMP 5.5
automatically changes the default traffic flow for VCS
clients to use the Vocera Client Gateway server for connection
management. Ensure that your environment allows TCP connectivity between
VMP and
Vocera Client Gateway servers on port 5008 and
between VCS iOS and
Vocera Client Gateway servers on port 5060.
The following list contains fixes and improvements made to version 5.5.0 of
Vocera Messaging Platform.
-
CMSG-11710 When you are logged into the
VMP Web Console
and you create a notification message to send to an Escalation Distribution List,
the Attach Media button is now disabled.
CMSG-11711 Search now matches user with multiple-word first name if second word
of search string contains only one character. For example, if the user's first name is "Patient Placement",
a search string of "Patient P" now
matches this user's first name.
CMSG-11715 When the VMP Server
reaches its maximum number of simultaneous media streaming HTTP connections, the log message that is generated is now a warning
instead of an error.
CMSG-12317 VMP Web Console users
who have been granted permission to view sent messages are now always able to access these messages in the
Monitor View.
CMSG-12400 When you are using the Contacts view in the
VMP Web Console to display
the members of a manually created Distribution List that contains
VMP users linked with
Active Directory contacts, and you attempt to send a message to one of these users, the correct user now appears
in the To field in the created message.
CRVC-18343 - On-campus VCS
users are now no longer shown as off campus on VMP Web Console
after restarting the Vocera Voice Server.
This section lists known issues and limitations in version 5.5.0 of
Vocera Messaging Platform.
CMSG-11638 If you are synchronizing VMP
with an Active Directory server for which a primary domain server and a subdomain server
have been defined, and this Active Directory server defines a security group that contains
a very large number of subdomain server users (such as 1000), the list of users displayed on the Select Users screen
does not include the users associated with the primary domain. Only the subdomain users
are displayed.
-
CMSG-12306 When you are logged into the
VMP Web Console
and you create a notification message to send to an Escalation Distribution List,
the Attach Media button should be disabled but is not.
-
CMSG-12331 When viewing a message in Monitor View in the
VMP Web Console, the list of
message recipients may be truncated.
-
CMSG-12581 When a Vocera Collaboration Suite client
is in dual mode, an email message is sent to the administrator account due to an incorrect severity level set
on the log line written to the VMP log.
CMSG-12825 If you set the "Number of days of inactivity to archive a conversation" configuration option in the
VMP Administrator to less than 4,
client devices may repeatedly attempt to request conversations that have already been archived. This may cause the server to halt.
CMSG-13256 Messages to VMP users
that originate from the Vocera Voice Server User Console
may result in a "No such message" notification email to VMP
administrators. These messages are stateless and the warning can be ignored.
CRVC-19985 In deployments where the Vocera Voice Server
and VMP Server installations have mismatched versions,
VCS and
Smartbadge clients do not show new call log records.
Once the servers are on the same version, the problem will be resolved.
