2.5 What’s New or Changed in CIS (OES 2018 SP2)

CIS provides the following enhancements and changes in OES 2018 SP2:

CIS Client (New)

On Mac OS X, when you use List view, Column view, or Gallery view options in Finder to preview the files that are uploaded to the cloud, the files get downloaded from the cloud. This unwanted download of files fills up your local storage. To avoid this, Open Enterprise Server CIFS provides a feature that can be enabled by using the novcifs utility. Enabling this feature with the CIS client on Mac OS X allows you to preview the files uploaded to the cloud. The following new tools are created:

  • CIS Client for Windows: Displays the cloud overlay icon on the files uploaded to the cloud and also allows you to access the files uploaded to the cloud.

  • CIS Client for Mac: It allows you to access the files uploaded to the cloud.

For more information, see Section 8.0, Working with CIS Client.

CIS Management UI Enhancements

The following options are added in the CIS management console:

  • Top Cold Data Users: Displays the five users with the top cold data on the Insights page. For more information, see Section 6.1.1, Insights.

  • Schedule File Scan: Allows you to schedule a scan on a specific time. You can choose the following scan type in the Agents setting page:

    • Full Scan: Performs the complete scan on OES volume.

    • Incremental Scan: Performs the differential scan from the previous full scan on the OES volumes.

    For more information, see Section 6.1.7, Agents.

  • Dry Run: Added the following policy run type options to estimate the total migrate or recall data before the actual run.
