Description:

Chapter 2 of the Sun Java System Portal Server 6 2004Q2 Administration Guide uses the wrong pathname for the Sun Java System Application Server start command. The path /var/opt/SUNWAppserver7/domains/domain1/admin-server/bin is incorrect.

Description:

The Portal Server documentation states that the gateway uses the Portal Server list in a round-robin fashion. In the Java System Enterprise 3 release, the gateway goes through the Access Manager list in a round-robin fashion rather than using the Portal Server list.

Misleading documentation about sendrdm Command Line Interface tool. (5078733)

Description:

Chapter 16 of the Technical reference guide states the following:

The sendrdm command provides a mechanism for a CGI or command-line based search. An RDM (resource description manager) request is sent in SOIF format to the Search server. This command is normally run in a search-enabled Sun Java System Portal Server instance directory, which is the /server-instance-directory/deployment_uri directory. This is the deployment URI path you selected at install time. If you chose the default Portal Server install, this is the /var/opt/SUNWps/https-servername/portal directory. Where the value of the servername is the default web Portal Server instance name--the fully qualified name of your Portal Server.

This should state that

If you chose the default Portal Server install, this is the /var/opt/SUNWps/https-instance-name/portal directory. Where the value of the servername is the default web container instance name--the fully qualified name of the machine, for example sesta.sun.com.
