Fixed Issues for Version 19.3.0.6 Server Patch 5
Why we fixed these issues: This issue was fixed to improve usability and to help ensure Encompass is operating as expected. The issue was chosen based on the severity of its impact to clients and client feedback.
This update contains updates to users' Encompass client machines (19.3.0.6) and a Server Patch (server patch 5) that is applied to the Encompass Server. The fixed issues listed below are included in this update and are scheduled to be released on October 19, 2019.
This client-side update (19.3.0.6) can be controlled manually via the Encompass Version Manager tool. If the tool has been configured to always apply new releases to users’ computers automatically, users will receive this update upon their initial log in of Encompass following the release.
Please note that the Server Patch (server patch 5) included with this release will be applied to the Encompass Server automatically and cannot be controlled manually via the Encompass Version Manager tool.
In Encompass, go to Help > About Encompass in the menu bar to view your Encompass version. When you apply the client-side update, your new version number will be 19.3.0.6 Server Patch 5.
The Encompass SDK (Encompass Software Development Kit) has been repackaged with this 19.3.0.6 Server Patch 5 release. Although it is not required, it is recommended that you upgrade to this latest SDK delivered with this update to ensure the same functionality that is in this latest version of Encompass is also available in your SDK. If your SDK application utilizes the Encompass SmartClient, you can automate this process so the SDK is upgraded automatically every time you apply an Encompass release. If your SDK application is installed on a computer at your location, you must manually upgrade the SDK for every release. For instructions for automating the upgrade process or manually upgrading the SDK, refer to the Upgrading the Encompass SDK page or view the SDK Programmer’s Guide.
Again, upgrading to this latest SDK package is strongly recommended, but not required, for this 19.3.0.6 Server Patch 5 update.
Updates to the Encompass Server (i.e., Server Patch 5) and Client Machines (19.3.0.6)
The Encompass 19.3.0.6 Server Patch 5 update includes the following fixed issue. A portion of the relevant code to implement this fixed issue is provided in the Server Patch included with this release, which will be applied to the Encompass Server automatically and cannot be controlled manually via the Encompass Version Manager tool. Another portion of the code is provided in the client-side updates that are applied to users' Encompass client machines and can be controlled manually via the Encompass Version Manager tool. If the tool has been configured to always apply client-side updates to users’ computers automatically, users will receive the client-side update upon their initial log in of Encompass following the release.
The fixed issue listed below will not be fully implemented until both the Server Patch and the client-side updates are applied to your Encompass system.
VA Loans
Rounding Issue for VA Recoup Closing Costs Months
An adjustment has been made to the rounding method used when populating the Recoup Closing Costs months (field ID VASUMM.X27) on the VA Management input form. Previously, the calculation was rounding up the value to the next highest whole number only when a value was present in the first two decimal numbers. Now the calculation is rounding up even when a value is present beyond the two decimal numbers that display on the field, for example, if the value calculates as 36.000000007, it will round up to 37. This issue affected VA loans with the following characteristics:
-
The Monthly Decrease in Payments amount (field ID VASUMM.X22) was greater than 0.
-
The Application Date (field ID 745) was on or after 02/15/2019.
-
The Prior Loan Type (field ID VASUMM.X50) was not VA-Fixed or VA-ARM/HARM.
-
The refinance type selected (field ID VASUMM.X125) was not TYPE I Cash-Out Refinance.
A portion of the relevant code to fix this issue is provided in the Server Patch, which will be applied to the Encompass Server automatically and cannot be controlled manually via the Encompass Version Manager tool. However another portion of the code to fix this issue is provided in the client-side updates that are applied to users' Encompass client machines. These client updates can be controlled manually via the Encompass Version Manager tool. This issue will not be resolved until both the Server Patch and the client-side updates are applied to your Encompass system.
