  • April 2013 Scheduled Maintenance for OES11 for eDirectory 8.8 SP7 Patch3 - 7310

For an overview of the bugs released with this patch, kindly refer to the documentation as maintained by the eDirectory team :

TID 3426981 - History of Issues Resolved in eDirectory 8.8.x

Note: When applying eDirectory upgrades on servers that have ConsoleOne installed in order to be able and manage GroupWise, it is to be expected that dependency conflicts will be returned. The reason for this as that ConsoleOne shares a number of base-modules with the eDirectory patches.

Please have a look at TID 7010864 for information on how to resolve these issues. (Note that although the specified eDirectory patch in the TID may differ, the same solution should remain applicable).
