Service Pack 1 Readme

January 2002

=====================================================================

This Readme contains important information about Microsoft Content Management Server 2001 Service Pack 1 (SP1).

Important

Before you install SP1, it is recommended you read this document and the installation instructions in the MSCMS 2001 Setup Guide located at http://www.microsoft.com/cmserver/techinfo/doc_help.htm.

The Readme contains information about:

• Pre-Installation Issues
  
  
• Installation Considerations
  
  
• Service Pack 1 Updates
  
  
• Knowledge Base Reference
  
  

Pre-Installation Issues

This topic contains issues to consider before installing SP1.

• Code has been added to the authenticate.inc file. You will lose any changes made to this file upon running the SP1 Setup. It is recommended you create a copy of the file for your reference.
• It is highly recommended that you install SP1 on a test computer before deploying to a production environment.

Installation Considerations

How to Install

SP1 is packaged as a self-extracting executable file (exe). Running the executable unzips the files to a temporary location that can be specified before extraction. The SP1 Setup application and updated files are extracted to this temporary location under the CMSSP1 folder. The application executable file is named CMS2001_SP1_Install. The updated files are in the folder named CMS2001 SP1 Files. Run the SP1 Setup application to update your MSCMS 2001 components.

SP1 is available for downloading at http://www.microsoft.com/cmserver/downloads

Service Stoppage

During the installation of any server components, both Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) and AE Security Service will be stopped. They will be restarted after the SP1 installation completes.

Cluster Upgrades

If MSCMS is running in a cluster, install SP1 on all the computers in the clustered environment either at the same time or consecutively. Partial updates of the cluster are not supported.

Reapplying the Service Pack

How to Uninstall

The SP1 Setup application allows you to uninstall SP1 if it is detected on a computer.

Service Pack 1 Updates

SP1 updates the following components of Microsoft Content Management Server:

• Server
• Site Builder
• Site Stager
• Web Author (installed as part of Server install)
• Site Deployment Manager (installed as part of Site Builder install)

Following is a brief, categorized description of the updates addressed in Microsoft Content Management Server Service Pack 1.

Localization

• The correct Japanese character that represents a date, rather than the previously incorrect comma (,), is now applied after the date in the month.
• When a database is created using a Japanese name, the name that appears in the database population panel of the Database Configuration Application (DCA) is no longer garbled. Also, the virtual site name is no longer garbled.
• The warning message for submitting a page no longer contains a garbled page.
• You no longer receive an error message when you install MSCMS on localized versions of Windows 2000 (other than English), and then run the Database Configuration Application (DCA).

Globalization

The ActiveX® placeholder in the MSCMS Web Author contains two new properties, CodePage and Charset, that support UTF-8 pages and other fonts and languages.

Site Stager

In the Site Stager utility, pages that are marked as "hide when published" are no longer being staged with their GUID; the URL or friendly name is now applied.

Site Deployment

• Small memory leaks during import operations have been corrected.
• The Japanese localized version of the MSCMS Site Builder no longer contains truncated strings in the Site Deployment Export and Import dialog boxes.
• During site deployment exports or imports, when the .rop file or the site deployment report is downloaded, the site deployment no longer fails with a URLDownloadToCacheFile error.

LDAP

• When an LDAP string containing a forward slash (/) in the name is passed to an ADSI call, OpenDSObject no longer fails.
• The following error message is no longer generated when a user tries to browse to the domain for containers to add (if the Active Directory® LDAP option was enabled): Fail to Bind to Active Directory Domain.

Web Author

• When editing content within a placeholder in the Web Author, the formatting permissions now work correctly.
• When using the Approval Assistant to approve a post, the file Workflowhooks.inc is now called and the user-defined workflow is now invoked.
• When creating a connected page and then using the Approval Assistant in the Web Author to simultaneously approve both the original page and its connected page, MSCMS now approves both the connected page and the original page.
• When users use the Web authoring tool to create a posting with a template, and the template name contains double-byte character set (DBCS) characters (as in the Japanese platform), the browser no longer returns a "Page Not Found" error page after the template is selected.
• Placeholders that contain 16-bit characters (such as Thai characters) that are opened in the MSCMS Web Author for editing no longer lose the last eight bits of the character information.
   

IIS

When you use Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Digest authentication with MSCMS, the authentication no longer fails.
 

Miscellaneous

• You are no longer prompted to log on again, when you are logged on to MSCMS and actively working. The scenario occurred even though your idle time had not exceeded the defined value for Cookie Lifetime in the Server Configuration Application (SCA).
• You no longer receive the URLDownloadToCacheFile error when installing a German-localized, Microsoft Solution for Internet Business (MSIB) solution site on German localized platforms.
  
  Also, after Site Builder completes importing the .rop file, the same error message may have been received in the MSCMS 2001 server: this no longer occurs.
• When using the 'ADD PARENT RIGHTS' button to add the rights from any parent container to the specified child container, you no longer experience a loss of added rights from the parent container.
• Performance time during saves has been increased. Before SP1, when you saved a very large number of HTML lines (for example, more than 8000) in a placeholder by using the Web authoring tool, the server may have slowed down considerably. While the large page was being saved, you may not have been able to edit other pages, and editing other pages may have taken a long time.
• The user can now deviate from the original channel selection when the 'Map Channel Names to Host Header Names' option is selected.
  
  Prior to SP1, if the user created two or more channels and mapped host headers to those channels, the browser displayed information from the original channel, regardless of which channel was being browsed to.

Knowledge Base Reference
