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)

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

Deployment type 1 did not work so started a separate process.

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.
