Release Notes

New Features in Version 1.0

New in 1.0.3

This release includes the following new features:

Upgrading From Version 1.0.2 to 1.0.3

If you have previously installed Version 1.0.2 of the SharePoint Connector, follow these steps to upgrade to Version 1.0.3:

  1. Unpack the Jive_SP_Connector_NetApplication_103.zip file (included in the installation ZIP file) onto your SharePoint server, and locate the Setup_JiveSharePoint.exe executable application from within the unpacked files.
  2. Execute this application, and select the Remove option to remove version 1.0.2. This step does not remove any configuration information about connection to Jive, or any web parts that have been installed onto your site pages.
  3. Execute this application again, and follow the installation steps for version 1.0.3, as described in the Upgrading the Jive SBS SharePoint Connector.

    Note: If Jive SBS features are active on any site collection, you must either have the site collection admin deactivate features before the farm admin upgrades the .wsp or make the farm admin a site collection admin on the site collections where the features are active.

  4. Either execute IISRESET to restart IIS, or wait five minutes for these changes to be recognized.
  5. Unpack the installation ZIP file onto your Jive server environment.
  6. In the Admin Console, navigate to System > Plugins and remove the existing plugin with version number 1.0.2.
  7. In the same location, select Add Plugin to add the new version of the plugin. Browse to the location of the spintegration.jar file unpacked from the installation ZIP file, and click Upload.
  8. Restart your Jive SBS server to recognize the updated plugin.
  9. The first time that the 1.0.3 plugin is started, it will perform updates to the existing configuration information. For the most part, this will take place automatically and transparently, but the following steps address a few details that need tp be addressed manually.
  10. After restarting the SBS server, go to Admin Console: System > Settings > SharePoint Locations. For each configured SharePoint location, you need to enter the External Search URL and Query Test Term in the appropriate fields as outlined in Adding a SharePoint Installation to Jive.
  11. Click Test to confirm correct operation.
  12. Any widgets that you have installed on existing Jive pages should be upgraded automatically. If you find any that are failing to display information, simply use the Customize link and, for each widget, right click and select Edit to reset the configuration properties for each widget.

Known Limitations

Notable

Problem ID Description
SP-590

Error condition during Migrate to SharePoint or adding a unified feed can lead to orphaned sockets and "Too many Open Files" which can accumulate and cause SBS errors

Workaround: The default allowed sockets is 1024. The orphaned sockets will be cleared with a restart of the SBS server.

SP-411

Require SSL parameter set ot Yes causes SSL to fail

Workaround: Do not set the Require SSL parameter even when using SSL.

SP-550

SharePoint Admin pages don't work if web application feature is auto-activated on manual install

Workaround: Deactivate and re-activate the feature.

SP-502

IP restrictions may need to include load balancer IP addresses

Workaround: The sharepoint.ip.restrictions in Jive may need to include the IP addresses of load balancers in front of Jive. The Impersonation IP restrictions in SharePoint may need to include IP addresses of load balancers in front of SharePoint.

SP-617

The places web part still displays SBS places in the Your Places:All tab when user has been disabled in SBS

Workaround: None.
