These release notes contain the following sections:
UIF provides the tracing API that is used for connector developers as well as application developers for dumping messages in UIF runtime and connector runtime.
This feature is turned off, by default, in the UIF installation, for example, ENABLE_TRACING=0. When the user needs to turn on the UIF tracing switch, set ENABLE_TRACING=1 in the UIFTraceConfig.properties file.
Table 1 lists the changes and impact on UIF Tracing.
UIF is installed directly from the CD.
There is no longer a need to unzip the UIF bits on to a hard drive. You can run setup, directly from the CD.
All the strings and image locations have been internationalized. The Repository.properties file containing the key value pairs is located in the <iASinstall_location>/ias/APPS directory. When being translated to Japanese, for example, this file needs to be renamed as Repository_ja.properties and the values need to be changed to Japanese. The same procedure needs to be followed for other languages, with proper language code. For example fr for French, fr_FR for French & France, en_US for English and US etc.)
The Repository Browser images are kept in the <iASinstall_location>/ias/APPS/bspimages/en directory. To localize to Japanese, for example, you should create a 'ja' directory under <iASinstall_location>/ias/APPS/bspimages and edit the image files. The image file name should not be changed.
For localized versions please contact you nearest iPlanet sales representative.
The Repository Browser can be viewed in different languages.
UIF runtime switches to a secondary LDAP server in case the primary LDAP server fails. The following describes two scenarios for LDAP failover support:
When iPlanet Application Server is installed with LDAP failover support, UIF configurations are updated appropriately during the install time. Hence UIF fails over to the secondary LDAP server, when the primary one fails.
For example, if the 'hostname' entry is mentioned as 'hostname=myprimaryhost', a secondary host name can be added as 'hostname=myprimaryhost mysecondaryhost'. The other LDAP parameters do not need to be modified.
The following iPlanet Application Server EPE 6.5 products have been certified to run on iPlanet Application Server, Enterprise Edition, 6.5 SP1.
UIF can be installed directly from the CD. This feature is available on NT and Solaris. See Single Click Installation.
In order to upgrade the iPlanet Application Server Enterprise Connectors for version 6.0 SP2, you must also upgrade the iPlanet Application Server 6.0 SP2 and the Unified Integrated Framework from SP2 to Version 6.5
You must have iPlanet Application Server 6.5 installed before upgrading the UIF and Connector.
After step1 and step2 the following software is updated:
If you are using the iDS installed with iPlanet Application Server 6.0, there is no need to perform Step 3.
You need to deploy all the applications to the Application Server. Refer to the iPlanet Application Server documentation for migrating the applications.
In UIF Version 6.0 SP2 release the "&" character can not be used in the repository.
iPlanet Application Server Tuxedo Extension - FML32 numeric input buffers defaults to zero.
The UIF assigns a default value to integers when the XML is loaded into the repository.
Wrap the integer in an array to avoid the integer being default to '0'.
There are embedded Spaces in PATH/CLASSPATH.
Before installing the Application Server iAS/UIF/Connectors on Windows be certain that there are no embedded spaces in PATH or CLASSPATH.
