Known Issues with Administration Documentation Issues

This section contains information on known issues with the documentation for Oracle Beehive administration, and includes the following topics:

Format for Entering Values that Begin with Hyphens(-) Does Not Work

Bug 6601536. The format recommended by the Oracle Beehive Administrator's Reference Guide for changing command-line values that begin with hyphens (-) does not work. Specifically, the guide recommends the <option-name>=<option value> format. To avoid this issue, use one of the other formats that the guide recommends.

Incorrect Values Provided for status Parameter of modify_user Command

Note:

This issue is resolved in Release 1 (1.3) and later.

Bugs 6882302 and 6882440. The beectl command-line help and the Oracle Beehive Administrator's Reference Guide provide incorrect values for the status parameter of the modify_user command. The correct values supported by this parameter are disabled, enabled, and locked.

Incorrect Format Provided for address Parameter of modify_user and add_external_user Commands

Note:

This issue is resolved in Release 1 (1.3) and later.

Bug 6882311. The beectl command-line help provides an incorrect format for the personal setting of the address parameter. The correct format should include the underscore character (_) between personal and its index number. This parameter is supported by the modify_user and add_external_user commands.

Known Issues with End-User Documentation

This section contains information on issues with the documentation for Oracle Beehive end users, and includes the following topics:

Incorrect Configuration Information for CalDAV Client

In the sections entitled "Mozilla Lighting 0.7" and "Mozilla Sunbird 0.7", Oracle Beehive End-User Information Release 1 (1.3) incorrectly instructs users to configure the Location field using their user IDs in the following structure:

http://<Server-Name>:<Port-Number>/caldav/<Enterprise-ID>/home/<User-ID>/calendars/MyCalendar

Instead, users should use their e-mail addresses in the following structure:

http://<Server-Name>:<Port-Number>/caldav/<Enterprise-ID>/home/<User-Email-Address>/calendars/MyCalendar

Incorrect Version Numbers Provided for Certified Mozilla Lighting and Sunbird Clients

Oracle Beehive End-User Information, Release 1 (1.3) incorrectly states that Mozilla Lighting 0.7 and Mozilla Sunbird 0.7 are certified for Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.3). The correct version number for the certified versions of these clients is 0.8.

Port Number Entries Missing in Example URLs Provided in "Configuring Mobile Devices" Module

The example URLs provided in the "Configuring Mobile Devices" module (from Oracle Beehive End-User Information, Release 1 (1.3)) incorrectly omit entries for port numbers.

For example, the documentation instructs certain users to configure their mobile devices using the following URL structure:

http://<Server-Name>/mobiledm/

In this example, these users should instead include the port number for their Oracle Beehive deployments, as follows:

http://<Server-Name>:<Port-Number>/mobiledm/
