Пресс-релиз: Грандиозная скидка 60% на систему сообщений Bopup

Тверь, Россия, 24 октября 2016 — Компания «Би Лабс» (B Labs), разработчик корпоративных решений в области коммуникаций в реальном времени, сообщает о 60% снижении цен на программные продукты Bopup для обмена мгновенными сообщениями. Предложение действительно при приобретении серверной части Bopup Communication Server, пользовательских клиентов Bopup Messenger и Bopup Observer до 31 декабря 2016 года включительно.

Компания «Би Лабс» (B Labs), разработчик корпоративных сетевых приложений для мгновенной коммуникации, рада предложить всем новым клиентам скидку в размере 60%, которая действует при приобретении программного обеспечения Bopup Communication Server, Bopup Messenger, Bopup Observer, а также программных пакетов «Стандартный», «Офисный» и «Корпоративный» до конца 2016 года. Данное предложение адресовано тем организациям и предприятиям, которые сегодня столкнулись с необходимостью внедрения и использования собственной и полностью независимой системы для обмена мгновенными сообщениями с функцией чата между сотрудниками, а с учетом действующей политики импортозамещения, остановили свой выбор на ПО разработанном российской компанией.




Платформа Bopup служит для организации системы для безопасного обмена мгновенными сообщениями и документами между пользователями, которая может быть с успехом развернута в пределах небольшого офиса или же в инфраструктуре целой организации. Разработанная с учетом требований предъявляемых к продуктам для использования в бизнес-среде, ПО предоставляет надежную и безопасную передачу данных и исключает возможность их перехвата третьими лицами. Основанная на клиент-серверной архитектуре, система позволяет организовать внутренний обмен сообщениями в режиме реального времени в пределах как небольшой локальной сети, так и с объединением нескольких удаленных подразделений/офисов предприятия посредством Интернет-соединения.

Предоставляя мощные функциональные возможности, такие как усиленное шифрование всех передаваемых данных, групповой чат, совместимость с Active Directory, серверное программное обеспечение Bopup Communication Server позволяет полностью контролировать всю систему сообщений с развитыми функциями аудита, доступом к истории переписки всех сотрудников и удобным управлением настройками клиентского ПО. Тесная интеграция с доменами Microsoft позволяет в считанные минуты развернуть систему сообщений даже в крупной сети с несколькими сотнями сотрудников, позволяя импортировать учетные записи из каталога LDAP, в том числе и “на лету” при добавлении новых пользователей, включая “прозрачную” авторизацию в таких сетях. Клиентские мессенджеров Bopup Messenger и Bopup Observer могут быть развернуты через групповые политики GPO с их последующим обновлением непосредственно с сервера сообщений, что позволяет контролировать версии независимо от количества рабочих станций. В дополнение к клиентскому ПО под операционную систему Windows также доступно приложение для мобильных устройств под управлением Android, благодаря которому взаимодействие между сотрудниками становится возможным даже при отсутствии их на рабочем месте.

Improvement updates of the messenger and observer applications

We released new versions of Bopup Messenger and Bopup Observer client. Recent updates come with a little improvement of a hidden option called UseSilentMode. The IM client does not show Connection Setup Wizard on startup of the setting is set to UseSilentMode=1. In this case only connection/disconnection balloon messages are shown in System Tray area.

By default UseSilentMode hidden option is equal 0 that means that the instant messenger displays all warnings/errors and automatically brings wizards to a user. This option can be set using setup.ini configuration file during initial setup or upgrade of the software, and also from the server console using IM Client Updates & Branding interface.

Tips & Tricks: How to fix issue if Bopup Communication Server is not started

From time to time we are reported by our customers and users that the IM service of Bopup Communication Server stopped to working. It is shown as Stopped in Management Console and cannot be started no more. At the same time the console launches normally and shows no errors on startup. Commonly a reason of this issue is simple and can be fixed quickly. See the possible resolutions below.

Trial peroid or software license has been expired

The most common reason is that 45-day trial of evaluation period of the communication server expired. If the IM server is registered version check information about the license from Help->About dialog box. It shows details on the license including the number of supported IM clients and also an expiration date. In case of expired trial the 45-day trial expired caption will be shown. Same information is shown on the right top corner of Welcome page in Management Console.

Check that the IM service is still registered in Windows services

Another problem that could suddenly occur is missing of core service of Bopup Communication Server from Services list in Windows system. Open services panel in Windows from Control Panel->Administrative tools->Services. It is also possible to open that panel directly from the console by clicking "Open Services lists" link on Welcome screen. Check that Bopup Communication Server service is shown in the list and having Automatic startup type.

If there is no such service in the list that means that it cannot be started and the server will not be operated correctly including accept connections from instant messengers. It must be registed in Windows system by the following way:

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to installation folder of the IM server. By default the communication server is installed to "\Program Files\Bopup Communication Server". On 64-bit versions of Windows default directory is "\Program Files (x86)\Bopup Communication Server".
2. Click Start button on Task bar in Windows and then type "run" in search box. Thex select Run to show a launch dialog box.
3. Select "bcssrvc.exe" file in previously opened Windows Explorer window and drag-n-drop it to Run dialog. A full path to the file will be shown in command line.
4. Type /unregserver parameter in the end of the path to the service module so a full command line has been changed to

"[PATH]\bcssrvc.exe" /unregserver

This will unregister the service from the system.

5. Type /service parameter in the end of the path to the service module so a full command line has been changed to

"[PATH]\bcssrvc.exe" /service

5. Click OK to launch the command. Then refresh Services list and try to start the service.

Find out what happens with the service when it brings errors

If the communication service is not started due to some troubles with SQL database server, for example, then it is possible to discover that. Open Event Log viewer in Windows from Control Panel->Administrative tools->Event viewer or click "Open Event viewer" link in Management Console to open same window. Then click Windows logs on the left to expand it and select Applications. Scroll-down to find last messages from top sent by Bopup Communication Server service.

Normally only Start and Stop events must be present, it is events #100 and #101 respectively. If there are any other warnings or errors then copy event description and send that report to Support Team or via Live Chat function on bopup.com website or directly from the console.

Known issue: An attempt to create a backup file gives SQL error #5

Many our users faced with an error on creation of a backup file from SQL database maintenance... dialog in Management Console. Once destination folder has been selected the console brings "Cannot open backup device. Operating System error 5" and no backup file is created.

This is a known issue of the IM server application but it does not relate to any error. Since backup files are created by Microsoft SQL Server directly then an account under which database service is running may not have appropriate write permission to chosen folder. Usually this error can occur when a target directory that has been chosen to save a backup file is located in current user's profile folder such as "My Documents", "Desktop", etc. In case of the error try to choose another location to create and save backup file.

We also updated and appended with this information our FAQ section available on the website that contains details on how to Create and restore backups of Bopup Communication Server.

Bopup Messenger version 6.8.2 is available

We built new version of the messenger client that includes few very useful updates. Version 6.8.2 instantly updates contacts' presence status in all opened conversation windows.

Another change belongs to recipient's presence status shown on a color background within user's name. Now the IM client displays appropriate status icon if a user is in away or offline mode. In these case the recipient name also added Away or Offline substring on the end. That is useful and lets see recipient's current presence status if Contact List is not hidden in conversations.

Recent updates of Bopup Messenger and Bopup Observer

Today we updated our messenger and observer clients and released their new versions. Bopup Messenger has been updated to version 6.8.1 and it comes with the following important fixes and improvements.

What's new:

Settings for receipt of personal and broadcast messages added separate options to show conversation dialogs on a top but in inactive state

The messenger moved "Show window as inactive" check box on "Receiving messages" tab of the Options dialog box to Receiving personal messages section and added same option to Receiving group & News messages.

Receiving messages tab added separate options to show conversation in inactive state

This is because most of our customers do not use "Today's Messages" tab in the main window so option to show it as inactive was unnecessary. Since new and received messages are shown in a conversation dialog so now it is possible to bring it on top on message receipt but keep focus on currently active application.

Fixed switching to Away mode when other users did not see user's updated presence status

We discovered that sometimes users were not update to see others in away even remote messenger reported that it is in the away mode. That was a client bug that we fixed.

Fixed issues with pop up of conversations on receipt of new messages

Another fix is related to showing conversation windows on a top of Desktop. Sometimes this could work, sometime could not.

Goodbye, HostGator!

We would like to apologize to customers and visitors for the difficulties with accessing our websites in the past few days. We need to inform that we had issues with our hosting provider, it is well-known HostGator company, whose services we used for more than 8 years! But everything is changed and that's true about about our opinion on HostGator too.

Around one week ago we noticed that most of our sites stopped working. Everything was looking strange because some customers from the US were able to visit www.bopup.com and download installation packages with no any issues at the same time when we were having problems. Some third-party resources on the Web also told us that there were big troubles with accessing to the websites because most of them could be even pinged!

HostGator support team could not see the problem and did not help us, they only asked to change Name Server (NS) even some of our other websites already had those servers configured correctly. Anyway we decided to change our web-hosting provider to avoid any possible issues to our customers and new clients because that's all about the business. You will not believe but HostGator support is still working on the problem and keeping the case still opened! For 7 days!

Now we successfully migrated to a new provider by moving all websites and databases including our regional sites such as www.bopup.de, www.bopup.es, www.bopup.ru Only Italian version www.bopup.it does not still operate due to update of old Name Servers on registrar. Our new configuration works better and faster now.

We released Android app version 1.0.12

New update of Bopup Messenger for Android platform is available, it is version 1.0.12. This release added a useful improvement that now shows a small notification icon within contact that indicates a receipt of new (unread) messages. Previous versions of the messenger application had no that indicator so new incoming messages could be only discovered on "Messages" tab that contains all received messages for current session. We strongly recommend to update the application to work with it with more ease and convenience.
