Known Problems

On Solaris the installation program may not respond to CTRL+B and CTRL+C key operations as expected

Installer doesn't copy samples in webless installation mode

In a webless installation, the web server and iPlanet Application Server reside on separate machines. In this configuration mode
the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector installation procedure does not automatically copy the HTML and image files pertaining to connector
samples to the web server document root directory. In order to run the samples shipped with the Tuxedo Enterprise Connector,
the HTML and image files must be copied manually from the iPlanet Application Server instance to the web server instance as described
in section "Copying files in Webless Installation" in Administrator's Guide.

Uninstaller doesn't delete repository content related to Tuxedo connector

Use the UIF Repository Browser to delete the unwanted datasource(s).

Uninstaller doesn't unregister Tuxedo Extension

The uninstaller will not automatically unregister the Tuxedo extension in iPlanet Registry database.

To unregister, perform the following steps:

1. Open the iPlanet Registry Editor by typing kregedit at the command line.
2. Open the following key:
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\TuxedoAdapterExt\cTuxedoAdapterExt\ENABLED
3. Set the value to 0 and click OK to save your changes.

Uninstaller removes common files in multi-connector installation

When uninstalling one of several connectors, such as R/3, PeopleSoft, or CICS, the common directories
<iAS InstallDir>/ias/APPS/console and <iAS InstallDir>/ias/APPS/ecu may be deleted. It is necessary to
copy these directories back to APPS directory from <iAS InstallDir>/ias/APPS/UIFbackup for the
Tuxedo connector to function correctly.

FML fields cannot be deleted using the Repository Browser

The FML fields cannot be deleted using the UIF Repository Browser. Use the Netscape Console to
delete the unwanted FML/FML32 field(s). Optionally, the config node can be exported into an XML file,
delete unwanted FML field entries in XML file and re-import using the Repository Browser.
