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

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

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:

• Inaccurate Description and Examples Provided for export_icalendar Command

• Incomplete Description Provided for LockoutTime Property

• Inaccurate Reference to Running beectl as Root User

Inaccurate Description and Examples Provided for export_icalendar Command

Bug 8314404. The beectl command-line help and the Oracle Beehive Administrator's Guide contain inaccurate descriptions and examples for the export_icalendar command. Specifically, the descriptions and examples provided for the --filter_timerange_start and --filter_timerange_end options incorrectly indicate that the following time formats are valid:

• yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SS'Z'

• yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SS

• yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'

• yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss

• yyyy-MM-dd'Z'

The only valid time format for the --filter_timerange_start and --filter_timerange_end options is the yyyy-MM-dd format.

Incomplete Description Provided for LockoutTime Property

Bug 7455743. The description provided in the beectl command-line help and the Oracle Beehive Administrator's Reference Guide for the LockoutTime property of the Authentication Service is incomplete. In addition to specifying the duration that a user account will be locked out of the system if the maximum allowable login attempts is reached, this property also sets the duration for the JSSO session timeout. For the latter purpose, the timeout occurs at the specified duration regardless of any other factors, including user activity.

Inaccurate Reference to Running beectl as Root User

Bug 8827540. The "Execution Permissions of beectl" section of the Oracle Beehive Administrator's Reference Guide states that "If the root user does not own the files of the Oracle Beehive application tier, root may not call any beectl commands." This statement is inaccurate as it implies that running beectl as root is supported when, in fact, it is not. Oracle strongly recommends that you do not run beectl as root as this action is not supported and may cause undesired results.
