October 7, 2002 (ODS2Patch102002.exe)

The following were made to the Installation and Administration guide for the OnDemand Services 2 patch dated Oct 2002:

Location Update

Novell eDirectory and ConsoleOne

Under the second major bullet, clarified that the NPS 1.5 server only needs a Read/Write replica if it is a NetWare® server. Windows servers do not require a replica.

Applying Support Pack 1

Added information about applying the OnDemand Services 2 October 2002 patch to update the ConsoleOne® snap-ins, OnDemand Services gadgets, Maintenance and UsageServer processes, and UsageClient files.

Increasing the Tomcat Servlet Engine 's Heap Size

Modified the recommended heap size memory requirements for the Tomcat servlet engine.

Adding Budget Holders

Under step 4, added information explaining that if you select a current budget holder who is not already an occupant of the cost center's organizational role, you need to manually add the user to the cost center's Security Equal to Me list.

Creating a Budget Holder Portal Group

Corrected the steps required to test a portal group (see step 5).

Desktop Applications

Added a list of characters that cannot be used in Application object names.

Enabling Usage Tracking of an Application

Added a step (step 4) explaining how to have OnDemand Services terminate an application if its usage expires while the user has it open.

Supporting Thin-Client Application Users

Updated information about the DeFrameTM, ICA, and RDP Web client files that are installed to support launching of thin-client applications from the Launch Item gadget.

Added information about updating the ICA Web client whenever Citrix releases a new version.

Creating a Cost Center and Adding Budget Holders

Updated step 3 to indicate that the & character is not a valid character in cost center names.

Updated step 10 to explain that budget holders must have security equivalent to cost center object. If you add a user to the Occupant list (on the cost center object's Identification page), he or she not only becomes a budget holder but is also added to the Security Equal to Me list. However, if you make a user who is not in the Occupant list the current budget holder (on the object's Extension page), you must manually assign the user to the Security Equal to Me list.

Understanding the Maintenance Process

Added this new section about how the Maintenance process works.

Understanding the UsageServer Process

Added this new section about how the UsageServer process works.

Explicitly Defining the UsageServer 's Address

Added this new section explaining how to explicitly define the UsageServer's address so that if the UsageClient is not in the same subnet as the UsageServer it can still find it and create a usage session.

Modifying the Maintenance and UsageServer Configuration File (Commerceserver.cfg)

Added information to the ldap.loginName setting explaining that you must run the commerceserver.cfg file through the Java utility native2ascii if 1) the login name contains extended (multibyte) characters and 2) the UsageServer and Maintenance processes are running on a NetWare server.

Corrected information under the baseContext setting that said the UsageServer uses this setting. The UsageServer does not use the baseContext setting.

Item 5) Cost Center in OnDemand Services Installation Worksheet

Updated information to indicate that the & character is not a valid character in cost center names.

Launch Item Gadget (OD_LaunchItemGadget)

Added information about the new UsageServer setting for the Launch Item gadget.

Removed information about the Display Free Applications setting and the Display Purchased Applications settings. These settings have been removed from the gadget.

User Administration Gadget (OD_UserAdminGadget)

Added information about the new Available Templates setting for the User Administration gadget.

Corrected information about the syntax required when specifying an iFolder Server object for the iFolder Server Object setting.

Tabbed Portal Pages

Added instructions for configuring your OnDemand Services portal pages as tabbed pages.
