22R3 Maintenance Releases

A maintenance release contains fixes for issues that affect customers in production environments.

Note Beginning with 23R3 content and for all subsequent releases, Vault Release Notes is the official site for Vault Safety release notes.

A maintenance release contains fixes for issues affecting customer Vaults. Maintenance releases can occasionally include enhancements, for example, a time-sensitive regulatory requirement.

We communicate 24 hours prior to a maintenance release when there will be a short service disruption during deployment. The Veeva Trust Site provides the most up to date information on Vault's service status. Check this site to view the current status of Vault PODs and upcoming scheduled system maintenance.

The contents is subject to change until the release occurs. When we identify items for a maintenance release, we attempt to get them into the earliest release possible.

Sometimes, we target a specific release but are not able to deliver an update early enough for full testing. In situations like this, we postpone the update for a later release and strike out the description in this list.

Veeva frequently delivers maintenance releases for the Vault Platform. Vault Safety deploys these Vault Platform maintenance releases at a later date. For details on the Vault Platform fixes in these maintenance releases, see Vault 22R3 Maintenance Releases.

Reporting Rules

Previously, the most conservative product and assessment rule parameter evaluation strictly relied on Case Seriousness, Expectedness, and Relatedness being defined in the Distribution Rules. This can lead to under-reporting for common rule sets. Vault Safety can now employ a more tolerant rule parameter evaluation based on the configuration of relevant reporting rules.

SAF-35118
Report Generation:
FDA 3500A
Fixed an issue with FDA 3500A report generation where, when Case Relatedness changed from Related to Unrelated, the G.7. Type of Report field was set to "Periodic".

Transmissions:
E2B Validation
Fixed an issue with E2B(R3) validation where the EMA.C.5.1.r.1 data element always required that the Study Registration Number was populated with a valid unique EU trial number or EudraCT number.

UI/UX

With this release, Vault Safety improves the user interface for locked Cases.

Transmissions:
Reporting Rules
Fixed an issue where, when voiding a Case and generating a Transmission with the One Last Time parameter set to "Yes", the Previously Submitted reporting rule parameter evaluated only the previous Case version. Now, all prior Case versions are evaluated and the Transmission is generated with the One Last Time parameter set to "Yes" only when the most recent Transmission for the same destination has the One Last Time parameter set to "No". SAF-33974
Transmissions:
Submissions/Distributions
