New Features - 8.51

Installation /Configuratoin

1. PS_CFG_HOME -
One place to hold all the configuration. Best to have it outside PSHOME
On Windows , we still want to have under individual PS_HOME, can do the following
Edit psadmin.bat
set PS_CFG_HOME=
\appserv\psadmin

2. Install on Linux/Unix with x-Windows
\setup.sh -tempdir -i swing

3. Standby Application Server

4. Psadmin Process Scheduler menu changed, similar to Application Server Domain Menu

5. Turn off Jolt Pooling
joltpooling=false set in configuration.properties (not in web.xml)

6. Adding process scheduler/application server and service on nt
Modify - pswinsrv.cfg (%ps_cfg_home%\appserv\)

7. Change default navigation
PeopleTools > Portal > General Settings > Navigation Options

8. Personalize Content
PeopleTools > Portal > Structure and Content > Portal Objects >HomePage > Tabs > Edit > TAB Content

9.Registry Search Index
Configure Application Server Configuration File as below
Values for config section - Search
Deployment Type=2
Application Server Port=7777
Remote Search Server Credentials=SRCHSERV|localhost:7778

Deployment type = 1 for PSAPPSRV to handle
Deployment type = 2 for seperate process
Deployment type = 3 for different domain.

run the build portal search index process
PeopleTools > Portal (take a new run control id)
Deployment type 1 did not work so started a separate process.

Sometimes on red hat linux 5, sestatus needs to be disabled
/usr/sbin/sestatus (se security enhanced)
deployment type needs to be 2

In PT_IFRAME_HDR_SWAN, comment out the following line-



This will not generate any header links.
3) There is another way you can disable only the "Sign out" link although It has not been tested thoroughly and not sure about its implications.

a) Open the peoplecode at PT_BRANDING.BrandingBase.OnExecute (note that PT_BRANDING is an application package).

Here comment out the following lines-

&signOutLink = &hdrLink.GetLogoutURL();
&hdrLinkHTML = %This.setIframeHdrLinkHTML(&hdrLinkHTML, &signOutLink, "");

This will not generate the "Sign out" link.
