24.3.4 Release Notes

January 2025

CDM Client: (Core | Filing | XBRL) 24.3.4.31535

CDM Server: 24.3.4.31535

This is a CDM general incremental release that aims to enhance the existing product features and address a series of defects found on previous versions.

New Features

• Improvement of locking and unlocking report objects
  When a user, with appropriate workflow permissions, locks or unlocks a selection of report objects from the workflow level (contextual menu of an object), a CDM long-running process is now started for the report. This will no longer freeze up the CDM Client interface and will enable the users to continue doing their work.

Known Issues

• CDM server allows only one lock operation per report at one time. This will be resolved in the future release.

Installation

You can deploy this version in the following ways.

Server

• As a stand-alone fresh installation.
• As a stand-alone installation by selecting Use existing databases or Empty databases, if you already have CDM database(s) from previous versions and a known encryption key. If you do not remember your encryption key, you can obtain it using the Get Encryption Key utility provided with this release being run on the previous version of CDM prior to uninstalling it, or from Certent CDM Support. You can also use a previously exported key by directly selecting it in the installer instead of typing it down.
• As an upgrade from 20.3.1 or later.
• If you are using XBRL or Inline XBRL, you should deploy/update Arelle on the same box with the CDM Server that is provided alongside the CDM installers. The XBRL Dependencies package has been discontinued.
• This version is compatible with Arelle release 2.25.4. Before installing this Arelle version, you should uninstall and clean up temporary files created by your previous Arelle installation, by following the instructions on KB - Arelle Upgrade 2022.10.28.

Client

• As a stand-alone fresh installation.
• As an update over previous versions of the Certent CDM Client.
• Supports multiple client instances on the same box.

ClickOnce

• As a stand-alone fresh installation.
• As an update over previous versions of the Certent CDM publishing server.
• Due to the change from 32-bit to 64-bit of the Certent CDM Client, previously installed client via ClickOnce will not be automatically upgraded upon start up. You should remove and redeploy the client when upgrading from a version earlier than 20.3.1.
