Prerequisites
This PhixFlow release requires:
- Java 7

One of:
- Oracle 11g or 12c (preferred)
- SQL Server 2008R2 or later

Features / Improvements
Installation
The Java installer has been extended to create and populate the database tables, and to set the customer name (needed to match the licence key which is installed through the graphical user interface).
It is still necessary to use sqlplus / sqlcmd / mysql (or other tools) to create the database or schema.
See Installation and Upgrade for details.

Connectivity
Database Exporters
Cancelling a database export now stops the export rather than allwing it to run to completion.
It is now possible to set a limit on the number or error messages that a Database Exporter can generate. See System Configuration for details.
Email Accounts
An inbound Email Account can be configured to delete messages from the mailbox after they are downloaded. Messages can be deleted immediately or after selected number of days.
Scripting
Internal Variables
Added "_outputMultiplier" as supported and recommended way to refer to attributes created by setting an output multiplier (instead of "_type", which still can be used).
Functions
System Administration
Changes to the server logging settings in log4j.properties now take effect automatically (after a few seconds) without having to restart the Tomcat server.
