The Encompass 21.4 Critical Patch 2 contains updates to users' Encompass client machines (21.4.0.3) and a Server Patch (server patch 2) that is applied to the Encompass Server. The client-side update 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 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 HelpAbout Encompass in the menu bar to view your Encompass version. Once the client-side update and Server Patch are applied, your new version number will be 21.4.0.3 Server Patch 2.

System Requirements and SDK Upgrade Requirement for Encompass

Have you reviewed the latest System Requirements?

Before downloading or applying this new Encompass release, it is important to verify the latest system requirements for Encompass client machines. Please review the System Requirements for Encompass to ensure your environment meets the requirements needed to operate Encompass successfully.

The Encompass Software Development Kit (SDK) enables developers to build custom applications that can be added on, or connected to, Encompass and the ICE Mortgage Technology Platform. The Encompass SDK has been repackaged for this 21.4 Critical Patch 2 (version 21.4.0.3 Server Patch 2) release. If you are utilizing the Encompass SDK, upgrading to this new package is needed to ensure that your SDK has the same functionality as this latest version of Encompass.

The following item (as described in these release notes) requires the new Encompass SDK package:

You may elect to not upgrade your SDK and still upgrade to Encompass 21.4.0.3 Server Patch 2. All features and functionality described in these release notes will be provided when you upgrade Encompass, except for the SDK-dependent item listed above.

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.

Important Note: In order to successfully install the SDK for this release, you must first uninstall the previous 21.4.0.x SDK prior to installing the new SDK for 21.4.0.3. Failure to uninstall the earlier 21.4 SDK may result in errors when upgrading to the 21.4.0.3 SDK.
