- GoAnywhere's internal database is backed up automatically on a daily basis to allow restoring of data in case if something happens to the database. The backup settings can be adjusted by the Administrators from the Global Settings screen. The backups are stored in the userdata/database/backups folder.
- Added a new Task for executing System i commands and/or programs all in the same System i job. This new Task allows to specifying commands and programs in the order they should be executed. This Task also allows monitoring of specific messages and control the flow of project. This Task replaces the Execute System i Command (cmd400) and Execute System i Program (pgm400) tasks. Existing projects using these old tasks continue to work, however, these Tasks will no longer be available when creating or editing a Project.
- Bundled JDBC drivers for Sybase and Informix. These drivers can now be selected when creating a Resource, or when working with the SQL Task.
- Various Tasks that accept a single input (or source) file have been updated to accept a FileList variable provided the FileList contains only one file.
- When a FileList is printed to the Job Log or a file using Print Task, the files in the list are printed one file per line without any additional headers or footers. This allows processing of the FileList in your custom programs or to simply e-mail the list of files as a report.
- Added the CCC (Clear Command Channel) option to the FTPS task. This option converts the Control Connection to a plain connection after a successful login. This option is required in order to successfully transfer data when connecting through NAT firewalls.
- The following additions/changes are done to the Global Settings:
- Under the General tab, Date Style and Time Style are now replaced with Date Pattern, Time Pattern and Timestamp Pattern to offer maximum flexibility on how dates and/or times are displayed in GoAnywhere.
- Under the Data tab, a new field called Documents Directory is added which defines the root directory for storing documents. This directory further contains folders for every GoAnywhere user (user's Home directory).
- Added a new tab called Backup to control whether and how the GoAnywhere database should be backed up.
- The Backup tab also allows Administrators to backup the GoAnywhere database on demand.
- Added the following system variables that can be used when designing or running the projects:
- system.job.log - Absolute path to the current job's log file
- system.docroot - Absolute path to the documents directory as defined in the Global Settings
- system.user.home - Absolute path to the user's home directory as defined in the user's profile
- Added the ability to release locks on a Project. When editing a Project, if the Project is locked by another user's session, an option to release the lock will be displayed.
- The following enhancements were made to the Project Designer:
- When a Project is executed from the Project Designer, a link to view the Job Log is displayed. After viewing the Job Log, the user will be returned back to the Project Designer.
- Enabled AJAX on certain actions such as Move Up, Move Down, Compile and Execute Project.
- When committing changes to a Project, the Project Designer ensures that the current session still holds an exclusive Write Lock on the Project. If not, the changes cannot be committed. This is needed as we now implemented a way to release locks.
- When a New Project is created, an exclusive Write Lock is acquired on the newly created project before opening the Project Designer. Prior versions did not do this which made it possible for two users be editing the same project (newly created Projects only).
- Fixed an issue with some screens displaying the date and time in GMT Time Zone. The screens now display the dates and times in the GoAnywhere Server's Time Zone.
- Fixed the SQL Wizard to display Tables and Columns in ascending order.
- Local File Chooser has been enhanced to allow sorting of files based on Name, Size or Date. Added a new icon in the tool bar to quickly navigate to the home directory of the user.
- FTP File Chooser has been enhanced to allow sorting of files based on Name, Size or Date.
- When testing a Resource, the Test Results window now displays the Stack Trace if the low level API's produced any Exception. This helps identify and resolve the problem quickly.
- Fixed the E-mail Notifier in the Scheduler to ignore empty user name and/or password combination when connecting to the SMTP Server.
- Enhanced the Write CSV and Read CSV Tasks to support Space as a Field Delimiter option.
- Enhanced the Move Task to prefix or suffix destination file names with a constant value or variable. This makes it possible to do a mass rename of files with a prefix or suffix without actually having to move the files to a different directory.
- Enhanced the Copy Task to prefix or suffix destination file names with a constant value or variable.
- Enhanced the PGP Decrypt Task to prefix or suffix destination file names with a constant value or variable.
- Enhanced the PGP Verify to prefix or suffix destination file names with a constant value or variable.
- Re-arranged the columns in the Search Jobs and Project History screens.
- Updated the icons used in various Tree components and fixed the alignment issues.
- When scheduling a new Job, the specified Project location is now validated to avoid an internal server error.
- GoAnywhere Server can now listen for secure connections over HTTPS. By default, the installer enables the HTTPS listener on port 8001. This does not have any effect on existing installs. Existing installs can be manually configured to enable the SSL connections. Please refer to the GoAnywhere Installation and Configuration Guide for more details on this.
- When promoting projects or resources, HTTPS is supported if the target GoAnywhere server accepts SSL connections. The certificate used by the target GoAnywhere server should be added to the default trusted certificates file.
- Fixed the issue with improper rendering of screens in some versions of Internet Explorer when creating OpenPGP and SSH keys.
- When adding or editing a Project Folder, any leading and/or trailing white spaces are removed.
- When adding or editing a User, any leading and/or trailing white spaces are removed.
- When adding or editing a User Group, any leading and/or trailing white spaces are removed.

- Added an option to export a project from the Work with Projects screen.
Apr 18, 2008 - Version 1.5.1 Released
- Chnaged the default behavior of Write CSV, Write Fixed-width and Write XML tasks to avoid rounding of decimal/numeric fields when no Decimal Number Format is specified.
Apr 4, 2008 - Version 1.5.0 Released
- Added the ability to manage OpenPGP keys from GoAnywhere's web based Administrator. The OpenPGP Key Manager can be launched by selecting the newly added menu item, "Manage OpenPGP Keys" under the "Tools" menu. The following functions can be performed using the OpenPGP Key Manager:
- Create new OpenPGP keys
- View details of an existing key
- Change Passphrase on existing key pairs
- Export one or more public key(s) to workstation
- Export one or more key pairs to workstation
- Import one or more public and/or secret keys from a file on the workstation
- Importing one or more public and/or secret keys from a file on the GoAnywhere server
- Create new key rings
- Open existing key rings
- Set global preferences to control the default behaviour of the OpenPGP Key Manager
- Added the ability to manage SSH Keys from GoAnywhere's web-based Administrator. The SSH Key Manager can be lauched by selecting the newly added menu item, "Manage SSH Keys" under the "Tools" menu. SSH Key Management functions include:
- Create new SSH keys
- View details of existing SSH keys
- Export SSH public keys to the workstation
- Export SSH private keys to the workstation
- Added a new User Role called "Key Manager", which allows users to access the OpenPGP and SSH key management functions. System users "root" and "administrator" are assigned the "Key Manager" role during the install/upgrade. If you would like other users to have access to the key management, you need to update the user/group profiles of those users.
- Added the ability to test resources when creating or editing them. A button labeled "Test" will appear on the Add/Edit Resource screens. Clicking on the "Test" button will ensure that the currently specified values for the resource are correct and the Resource is usable in projects. For e.g., Clicking the "Test" button when creating an FTP Server will actually try to connect and login to the specified FTP server and the results of the Test are displayed in a popup.
- Added the ability to add a new Resource when designing a project. A new button labeled "Create..." will appear next to the Resource drop-down box. Clicking on this button will navigate you to the appropriate Resource's Add screen. After the Resource is created (or canceled), you will be navigated back to where you were in the project designer.
- Added the ability to receive GoAnywhere upgrades if the GoAnywhere Server connects to the Internet through a proxy server. The HTTP Proxy settings can be defined by the administrators in the Global Settings (Global Settings under the Administration menu).
- Enhanced the Write Excel Task to preserve all settings such as Macros from specified Template file. This makes it possible to do certain things such as subtotals in the generated Excel file. In order for this to work, the template file should have "Auto Run" macro to perform the desired function.
- Enhanced the FTP, FTPS and SFTP tasks to support a new sub-task "Manual Get" to get a single custom file name. This is useful for retrieving files from some non-standard FTP servers.
- Enhanced the XML Write Task to accept a custom header for the generated XML file. This attribute can be used to include a DTD or Schema definition in the generated XML file.
- Added the ability to save Job Logs to the workstation.
- Added the ability to save the Server Log to the workstation.
- Enhanced the SQL Wizard to automatically refresh the SQL statement when the "Set Query" is clicked. The "Update Preview" button is no longer required to be pressed before setting the query in the invoking page.
- Pressing the Enter key in the Local and FTP file browsers now triggers the "Select" button to place the selected file in the invoking page.
- Fixed an issue with the FTP File Chooser that was causing a read timeout to take longer than the specified timeout value. This was occurring when a connection was successfully established, but the LIST command was failing to open the data connection due to an incorrect passive/active setting.
- Fixed the label for the Null Indicator in the XML Read task. The previous label "Null Substitute" was incorrect, as the value is actually used as a null indicator in the Task.
- Upgraded the OpenPGP API to support PGP keys with signatures
- Enhanced the OpenPGP Encrypt task to allow encryption using the master key if no subkeys are found or valid. This of course requires that the master is key is capable of being an encryption key (such as an RSA key).
- Fixed performance issues with ASCII mode transfers in FTP, FTPS and SFTP tasks.
- Fixed an issue with locks not being released on projects when the browser's back button is clicked. When opening a project in Edit mode, the code now checks to see if the user is currently holding a lock on any other project, and if so, releases the previous lock before acquiring lock on the new project. Please be sure to click on the available menus or buttons on the pages to ensure the locks are released right away. We recommend not clicking on the Back or Refresh button at all when working in the GoAnywhere Administrator.
- Fixed an issue with Scheduler E-mail notification where it tries to send out an email if any one of the notification options is set. For example, if you have set up a scheduled job to send notification only if the job fails, the scheduler would still try to send an email when the job completes normally. However, the send was failing because there were no recipients specified.
- New directories are created under the userdata folder for storing PGP and SSH keys. The preferred location for storing your PGP key ring(s) is userdata/keys/pgp. The preferred location for storing SSH keys is userdata/keys/ssh.
- Upgraded the Tool Bars in various pages to have a separator between each tool bar item.
- System i Install Only: Changed the length of Variable Name and Variable Value parameters on the RUNPROJECT command and RUNPROJSRV service program. The Name of a Variable has been changed from 100 to 48 characters long and the Value has been changed from 100 to 256 characters long.
WARNING: IF YOU ARE USING THE RUNPROJSRV SERVICE PROGRAM TO RUN PROJECTS, YOU WILL HAVE TO RECOMPILE YOUR PROGRAMS WITH THE CORRECT PARAMETER LENGTHS.

- Implemented a scheduled system maintenance process to purge job logs and associated workspaces that are older than a specified number of days. This parameter can be controlled from the Global Settings screen. This value defaults to 90 days.
- Implemented a scheduled system maintenance process to rotate the global log file when it exceeds a specific size. Here again, the maximum size is configurable from the Global Settings screen. This value defaults to 5 MB.
- In the Project Designer, when a adding a Task to a Module, the page displayed shows a categorized view of Tasks to make it easier to find the desired Task. Previous versions used to list all tasks in alphabetical order.
- Changed the location where the license file is saved. As of version 1.0.0, the license file will be saved in the installation directory of GoAnywhere. The file name is goanywhere.lic. Previous versions used to store the license file in the internal database which was causing some issues when replicating files to Backup/HA/DR systems.
