SDL TMS 12.2 | Cumulative Update 2

Following on from the release of SDL TMS 12.2, we are pleased to announce the availability of the first cumulative update that contains the following fixes:

CRQ-11901
Symptoms:
The SDL TMS translation provider plugin for SDL Trados Studio 2017 is not able to connect to the SDL TMS 12.2 TMs.

Explanation:
The translation provider was still configured to connect to TMs hosted on SDL TMS 12.1 or earlier.

Resolution:
The new plugin available in the My Downloads section allows users to connect to TMs hosted on SDL TMS 12.2 from SDL Trados Studio 2017.

CRQ-12426
Symptoms:
Concordance searches in SDL TMS 12.2 are returned with a red vertical bar instead of the first character.

Explanation:
This issue was introduced in SDL TMS 12.2 as part of the changes made to improve the performance of TM operations.

Resolution:
Concordance searching has been corrected to return the matches in the correct format.

CRQ-11587
Symptoms:
Usernames and passwords with apostrophes are not accepted in SDL TMS 12.2.

Explanation:
This is a defect that was introduced in a previous version of SDL TMS that came to prominence with the advent of support for SDL ID when users who have an apostrophe in their email address were not able to log in with SDL ID. As part of an earlier security initiative to prevent SQL injection, apostrophes were replaced with another character prior to login.

Resolution:
The replacement of the apostrophes has been removed and tests carried out to ensure that no vulnerabilities exist on the login page.

CRQ-12582
Symptoms:
Malformed TM segments and missing attribute values cause tasks to go to recovery.

Explanation:
As part of the TM optimization for SDL TMS 12.2, the segment processing was amended but did not then cater for potentially malformed segments that may already be in the TM.

Resolution:
The code to parse TM segments has been amended to be more tolerant of potentially malformed segments returned from the TM.
