� All that is required is that you specify a different install directory

� Added the ability to install an IIDR 11.3.3 Access Server on the same server as another existing AS installation

� Need to specify a different install directory� Also need to specify a unique port to use

Ability To Run Additional MC/AS


� Automatically attempts to reconnect to datastores upon lost connection

� Solves connectivity issues when datastores are temporarily restarted or the network is temporarily unavailable

Datastore Connection Recovery


� Links datastore selection to the list of subscriptions displayed in the view

� Simplifies working with subscriptions when the user connects to a large number of datastores

Subscription Focus

*


� Filters out subscriptions where the source or target datastore currently isn't connected

� Simplifies working with subscriptions when the user doesn't connect to all of their datastores

Subscription Focus

*


� Reloads subscriptions for a datastore

� Simplifies working with Management Console when users add, modify, or delete subscriptions using the command-line processor (or another user makes changes in their Management Console)

� Eliminates the need to disconnect and reconnect to datastores to refresh Management Console

Datastore Refresh

*


� Generates a sample CHCCLP script based on the definition of a subscription in Management Console

� Allows users to define a subscription in Management Console and then generate a sample CHCCLP script to re-create the subscription, make copies, etc.

� Supports all functionality available in CHCCLP

Create CHCCLP Script from Subscription Config


� Simplifies learning CHCCLP by generating a well-formed and well-documented complete sample

� Optionally excludes unnecessary syntax or parameters

� Clearly identifies functionality that is not supported and provides hyperlink access to markers in the script that require user modification

� Provides syntax highlighting of a script

� Allows in-place editing of the script

Sample CHCCLP script generation


� Allows the user to save the script to a file or execute it in-place

� Provides the same execution output as if the script was executed in the standalone CHCCLP environment

Sample CHCCLP script generation…


� Prompts user to reload datastores used in the script in order to refresh Management Console

Sample CHCCLP script generation…


� New Centralized Notification display of AS status and progress notifications

� Displays login, datastore reconnection, subscription addition/deletion notifications in a single view

� Supports intra-Management Console broadcasting of changes across the same Access Server instance

Access Server Progress Notifications


� Now allows users to specify which subscriptions should have collection

� Previously collected for all subscriptions in a datastore

� Reduces turn-around time diagnosing problems by allowing the user to identify subscriptions that are of interest

� Reduces amount of data collected and analyzed in large environments

Support Assistant Collection Enhancements


� Now prompts for additional comments to aid problem resolution

� Often only the client can provide the context as to what the problem is

� By adding comments to the collection, it can significantly speed up the problem diagnosis process

Support Assistant Collection Enhancements …

� Displays Access Manager connections between a datastore and user

� set property recreateSubscription yes;

� Command added to support recreating a subscription during execution using add subscription

� Previously add subscription stopped with an error if the subscription already existed
