Web Enablement Kit Change History 3.1 CGI/Servlet 3.1.8.4.0.0 Release (8.4.0.0) 3.1.8.4.0.1 Release (8.4.0.1) 3.2 AFP Web Viewer (Plugin/ActiveX) 3.2.8.4.0.0 Release (8.4.0.0) 3.2.8.4.0.1 Release (8.4.0.1) 3.3 Image Web Viewer (Plugin/ActiveX) 3.3.8.4.0.0 Release (8.4.0.0) 3.3.8.4.0.1 Release (8.4.0.1) 3.4 Java Line Data Applet 3.4.8.4.0.0 Release (8.4.0.0) 3.4.8.4.0.1 Release (8.4.0.1) 3.5 Java AFP2HTML Applet 3.5.8.4.0.0 Release (8.4.0.0) 3.5.8.4.0.1 Release (8.4.0.1) 3.6 Java API 3.6.8.4.0.0 Release (8.4.0.0) 3.6.8.4.0.1 Release (8.4.0.1) 4. Testing Environment 5. Reference =============================================================================== Note: Starting with version 7125, the IBM Portlets for IBM DB2 Content Manager OnDemand are available. These portlets provide the following capabilities; Logon/Logoff Change expired password Folder list with sort and pagination support Multiple predicate search Search results with sort and pagination support Server print documents Local print annotations Multiple portlets supported (Main and Viewer portlets) Document viewing support with Line Data Applet, AFP2HTML applet and the AFP plugin Configuration support through the arswww.ini file For more information on supported platforms and to download the OD portlets, visit the WebSphere Portal Catalog at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/zones/portal/catalog Note: The Applets and Web Viewers have now been tested with Internet Explorer 7.0. No problems were found except for the following: - Due to a new security restriction in IE7, the AFP2HTML viewer applet is unable to display image resources in the document. We are working on a solution. However, in the meantime, please read the information at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649488.aspx Add the registry entry corresponding with FEATURE_BLOCK_LMZ_IMG and set the iexplore.exe value to 0 (zero). This will cause IE7 to "opt-out" of the security restriction. Note: The Arabic and Hebrew OnDemand 8.4 ODWEK have the following known limitation: - Messages from ODWEK (aka, client message repository) cannot be displayed in Arabic and Hebrew. The above limitations will be corrected in a future release. =============================================================================== 2. Installation Note: The Java API Shared library name has changed. The old named library, arswwwsl.[a,so,sl,dll] is still used by the servlet. The Servlet class file name has also changed as well. The new name is ArsSVTInterface.class. ** ODWEK API Users need to make sure that the old ArsWWWInterface.class is deleted, as this file is no longer used by the ODWEK Apis, but can cause conflicts if not removed. - Unix installs are now packaged with InstallShield MP. The native installs using SMIT, swinstall, pkgadd, or RPM are no longer supported - Pre-reqs - Previous install of OnDemand Web Enablement Kit V8.4 - Between 130-200MB of free space in /tmp (depending on platform) for InstallShield. To specify a different temporary directory you can use the "-is:tempdir " option for InstallShield - For Solaris, make sure your DISPLAY environment variable is set appropriately - To install from the command line - odwekaix -console - odwekhp -console - odweksun -console - odweklinux -console - odweklinux390 -console - odwekwin.exe -console - To uninstall from the command line on AIX - /usr/lpp/ars/www/_uninsti84/uninstallodwek -console - To uninstall from the command line on other UNIX platforms - /opt/ondemand/www/_uninst84/uninstallodwek -console - To uninstall on Windows use Add/Remove Programs - Please read the Installation Documentation in the CMODDoc.zip or see the online documentation at: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/cmod/v8r4m0/ package for further information Before using the latest version of the Web Enablement Kit CGI/Servlet, you must delete all of the files from the Web Enablement Kit cache and temp directories. The directories are specified by the CACHEDIR and TEMPDIR directives in the arswww.ini file. - Version 8.4.x.x now includes libraries and arswww.cgi for 64-Bit Operating Systems on Aix,Sun,HP,lunux,and Linux on System z. Windows is 32-bit only, and Linux on System z is only 64-bit. The filenames of the Servlet and API shared libraries has been changed (libname64.so, oe libname32.so) to reflect which OS architecture they were built for. This release includes the following files: README - This file. arswww.cgi - This is the Web Enablement Kit CGI program. This file should be placed into a directory within your Web server directory space which has been designated as executable and can contain CGI applications. arssck32.dll (Windows) ctreestd.dll (Windows) - No longer needed - This file should be left in the installation directory. icudt36l.dat (Windows, Linux) icudt36b.dat (AIX, SunOS, HPUX) - This file should be left in the installation Locale directory. icudt36.dll (Windows) icuin36.dll (Windows) icuuc36.dll (Windows) icule36.dll (Windows) - No longer needed iculx36.dll (Windows) - No longer needed - These libraries are used for ICU support. On Windows, these files must be placed in the same directory as the arswww.cgi file or when using the JAVA Api's, a directory that is in the command search path defined by the Path environment variable. ArsWWWServlet.jar ArsSVTInterface.class arswwwsl32.dll (Windows) libarswwwsl32.a (AIX 32-Bit) libarswwwsl64.a (AIX 64-Bit) libarswwwsl32.so (SunOS,iLinux 32-Bit) libarswwwsl64.so (SunOS,iLinux 64-Bit) libarswwwsl32.sl (HPUX 32-Bit) libarswwwsl64.sl (HPUX 64-Bit) - Servlet support files. ArsWWWServlet.jar should be placed into the web server's servlet directory. Because the servlet uses JNI, you may have to put ArsWWWInterface.class and the shared library file into into a directory other than the web server's servlet directory. This is due to class loader issues. See the documentation for more information. ODApi.jar ars3wapi32.dll (Windows) libars3wapi32.a (AIX 32-Bit) libars3wapi64.a (AIX 64-Bit) libars3wapi32.so (SunOS,iLinux 32-Bit) libars3wapi64.so (SunOS,iLinux 64-Bit) libars3wapi64.so (zLinux 64-Bit) libars3wapi32.sl (HPUX 32-Bit) libars3wapi64.sl (HPUX 64-Bit) - Java API and support files. See the documentation and api/ODApiDoc.zip for more information on using the API's. arswww.ini - This is the configuration file for the cgi/servlet. See the documentation for information on the configuration settings. This file must be placed in the same directory as the cgi or servlet program. afp2html.ini - This is the configuration file for the AFP2WEB Transform. See the documentation for information on the configuration settings. afp2pdf.ini - This is the configuration file for the AFP2PDF Transform. See the documentation for information on the configuration settings. arsxenos.ini - This is the configuration file for the XENOS Transform.

(See the documentation for more information). To use your own images, simply rename your image to one of the names above. images/* - The remainder of the images are used by the applet toolbars. They should be placed in the IMAGE_DIR directory. (See the documentation for more information). These images cannot be replaced with your own images. applets/ODLineDataViewer2.jar - IBM OnDemand Line Data Viewer applet. applets/ODAfp2Html2.jar - IBM OnDemand AFP Transform applet. - These applet files are used when enabling the java AFP2HTML viewer applet.

These files should be downloaded to the user's Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows Vista system, and run to install the appropriate plug-in. If the user is running a browser while the installation is in progress, then the user must stop and restart the browser before the plugins can be used. -------------end of Installation----------------------------------------------- 3.
