CreatedBy or ModifiedBy by text fields in certain tables increased to be VARCHAR(50)

Certain Synergetic tables could only hold 30 characters for user names that either created or modified the record. Therefore if somebody with a long user name (more likely to happen with AD authentication as the domain forms part of the user name) then a "String or binary data would be truncated" error would occur. These fields have now been increased to 50 characters.

Improve archiving speed of academic reports in hosted environments

Improvement to Improving the speed of printing student reports in a hosted environment. Synergetic will detect if running in a hosted environment and do all generation, combining, and (optionally) storing in the database from the file system where Synergetic is hosted. Once this process has been done the combined individual reports are copied to the selected archive path.
Synergetic will display an information symbol indicating it is running in a hosted environment and will process the printing using the above method.
There is a new config key StudentReportsPrint|Archive|HostedMode you can use to override the behaviour.
A new tick box also appears on the screen asking if you wish to store the individual class reports. If that option is not ticked then the combined reports are stored under the archive path and the 'Complete' subfolder is no longer used. Leaving this option unticked is also faster in a hosted environment as the individual class reports are not downloaded. It makes no difference from a speed point of view with a non-hosted configuration as the reports are generated directly to that areaarchiving academic reports in the hosted environment.
