Download


Alfresco Enterprise 3.1 can be downloaded from the Alfresco customer and partner repository or from the new Alfresco Enterprise Network service for services and support.

A 30-day trial is also available via an Enterprise 3.1 Trial. This gives you the ability to try out a fully featured version of Alfresco Enterprise Edition and the Alfresco Enterprise Network within your own infrastructure for thirty days.


Installation


For instructions on how to install Alfresco Enterprise 3.1, refer to the Administering an Alfresco ECM Production Environment guide, available via the Alfresco customer and partner repository.


Prerequisites


For this release, the Alfresco Share client requires a minimum of Flash Player Version 9.0.45 to upload files and view Flash previews.


  • The uninstaller for Flash can be found on the Adobe site here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html#uninstaller

Known Issues


The following known issues are associated with this release:


  • Only en, de, fr, es, it and jp language packs for TinyMCE are provided.  If a user's language setting is any other than these, then the HTML editor will not be displayed in Share or Explorer.  Instructions are provided on how to add new TinyMCE language packs
  • Kerberos is not supported in the Share application
  • Multiple instances of Alfresco in a single Oracle instance is supported, but requires some manual schema operations
  • Enabling quotas on an existing repository takes considerable time and should only be enabled after upgrading to at least 3.0.0 (due to costly interaction with other data upgrades)
  • Tomcat does not always close down completely, but can be safely terminated
  • Source code for Share and Surf is not in the SDK, but is available from SVN
  • Using the Share RSS Feed Dashlet to read RSS feeds from other Share sites is unsupported
  • The Web View dashlet exhibits undesired behaviour when showing a Flash heavy site in IE7, when either the Web View or RSS dashlets 'configure' screens are shown. Believed to be a Flash / IE7 issue (not exhibited in other browsers)
  • Offline synchronization is currently not supported on MS Vista
