Known Issues Category Issue Found In Resolved In 6.11.110 MAY BE FIXED in 6.12 When exporting a PDF with at least one attachment using the PDF Conversion and Combine Parents/Attachments options, the attachments are now correctly merged. 220464 (Native-only export) An error condition can occur when exporting using the option to include natives only for tagged documents.

Hashing Version 6.11.108 of LAW PreDiscovery included an update to dtsearch from 7.79 to 7.83. The update to dtsearch can cause hash values for a specific type of email ingested into older versions of LAW PreDiscovery (version 6.10 and earlier) to not match the hash values from LAW PreDiscovery 6.11 and higher. This issue occurs only for emails with no content in the body and only if the file is re-ingested into a case after upgrading from version 6.10 or earlier to 6.11 or higher. If you experience this issue, contact Support for a run command that identifies the affected files. 222422 IMPAI session An error condition with the IMAPI session may be reported when processing more than 50,000 emails to HTML/MHT.
