Session Recording

What’s new

What’s New in 2511

Important note about upgrading to version 2511:

To prevent session recording failures due to incomplete upgrades of Session Recording agents, follow these steps when upgrading to 2511:

  1. Upgrade each Session Recording server to version 2511.

  2. Enable remote access using .NET Remoting with the following command:

    <Session Recording server installation path>\Bin\SsRecUtils.exe -EnableBrokerRemoting

  3. Upgrade each Session Recording agent to version 2511.

  4. After all Session Recording agents are upgraded, disable remote access using .NET Remoting with the following command:

    <Session Recording server installation path>\Bin\SsRecUtils.exe -DisableBrokerRemoting

Note on Upgrade Impact for the ICLFile Table

As part of the upgrade process, several indexes will be created on the ICLFile table. Depending on the volume of data, this operation may take up to 15 minutes to complete and will require approximately 60% additional storage relative to the current size of the table.

This change does not affect fresh installations.

Session Recording agent basic deployment mode

A basic deployment mode for the Session Recording agent is introduced. This feature provides a lightweight method to record active sessions to local MP4 files without the need to deploy backend components such as databases or servers.

While we’re introducing the basic deployment mode for quick deployment and easy troubleshooting, the standard deployment mode is still essential for extensive needs. It offers high scalability, robust security, and centralized management, making it ideal for enterprise environments.

This new mode allows end users or administrators to trigger recordings flexibly. You can easily switch between the basic and standard modes by configuring the agent properties.

For more information, see Manage basic deployment agents.

End-user triggered session recording

Starting with this release, you can grant end users the permission to start and stop recording their own sessions at any time. This feature provides greater flexibility for on-demand recording needs.

For more information, see End-user triggered session recording.
