Known Problems

Installer doesn't check whether iPlanet Application Server is already installed or not

UIF installer doesn't  check whether the iPlanet Application Server is installed or not, before installing UIF binaries. So, please make sure that iPlanet Application Server is installed before proceeding with UIF installation. When asked for Installation directory, specify the location in which iPlanet Application Server is installed.

Uninstaller doesn't delete the repository content

Use the Netscape Console to delete the bsp node structure(LDAP node strcture: NetscapeRoot->iASCluster->iasconfig->Global->bsp).

Uninstaller doesn't unregister UIF extensions.

The uninstaller does not automatically unregister an enterprise connector 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\BSPRuntime\cBSPRuntime\ENABLED
3. Set the value to 0 and click OK to save your changes.
4. Repeat step2 and step 3 for following keys:
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\BSPErrorLogExt\cErrorLogMgr\ENABLED
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\BSPUserMap\cBSPUserMap\ENABLED
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\BSPrlop\cBSPrlop\ENABLED
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\DataObjectExt\cDataObject\ENABLED
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\MetaDataService\cMetaDataService\ENABLED
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\RepoValidator\cRepoValidator\ENABLED
        SOFTWARE\iPlanet\Application Server\6.0\CCS0\Extensions\RepositoryExt\cLDAPRepository\ENABLED

Array Element Type Enforcement

          Arrays are used to store elements of the same type; however, homogeneity is only enforced if using the
          addElem( ) method to add elements to arrays. Use the addElem( ) method, and not methods in the
          IBSPDataObjectList interface, to add elements to arrays.
