Known Issues with Oracle Beehive Installation Documentation

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

Oracle Beehive Installation Guides Contain Incorrect and Incomplete Information in Note Preceding Provisioning Procedure

The Oracle Beehive Installation Guides for all operating systems contain a module called "Provisioning Oracle Beehive". The module contains a note about provisioning Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.4.3) for Solaris. The note incorrectly refers to a file named bhprereqpsolaris.zip (no hyphen). The correct file name is bhprereq-solaris.zip (with a hyphen).

Also, before proceeding with the steps in the note, ensure that you have installed Oracle Beehive Provisioning Application version 1.4.3 and a zipped installable version of Oracle Beehive Release 1 (1.4.3) for Solaris exists in Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control System Library

Oracle Beehive Installation Guides Contain Incorrect Path for jps-config.xml

Bug 8236864. The Oracle Beehive Installation Guides for all operating systems contain a topic called "Configuring Oracle Beekeeper for LDAP-Based Authentication". Steps 3 and 4 of the procedure in that topic incorrectly refer to the following path for jps-config.xml:

<Oracle Beekeeper home>/j2ee/home/application-deployments/beekeeper/jps-config.xml

The correct path for jps-config.xml is as follows:

<Oracle Beekeeper home>/j2ee/home/application-deployments/beehivecontrol/jps-config.xml

Known Issues with Oracle Beehive Administration Documentation

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.

Oracle Beehive Administrator's Guide Refers to Unsupported E-mail Service Option ('Use simple relay mode')

Bug 7426636. The "Use simple relay mode" option provided by Oracle Beekeeper is not yet supported. The Oracle Beehive Administrator's Guide refers to this unsupported option in the section entitled "Setting Up E-mail Relay Routing". For the workaround for this unsupported option, please refer to the release note "Oracle Beekeeper 'Simple Relay Mode' Option Not Supported".

Known Issues with Oracle Beehive End-User Documentation

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

Oracle Beehive End-User Help Contains Incorrect Parameter Name

Bug 7653206. The section entitled "Deleting Items Outside the Date Range" (from Oracle Beehive End-User Help) instructs users to append the parameter del, which is incorrect. Instead, users should append deloutofrange. This correction also applies to the examples that follow in that section.

The section "Deleting Items Outside the Date Range" appears in the "Customizing Synchronization" section of the "Configuring Mobile Devices" module.
