B.1.1 What's New in Version 2.7
Novell iManager 2.7 contains the following new features:
Tree View: The iManager tree view in the left navigation frame approximates functionality
available in the ConsoleOne
collapsing container objects as necessary. The right content frame displays contents and menu items
for the object selected in the navigation frame.
File System Browse: iManager 2.7 lets you browse through an eDirectory
underlying NCP
enabled volume. Within the volume structure, you can select File and Directory
TM
objects. The actual tasks you can perform on file system objects is provided by the NSS iManager
plug-in, which is available separately.
File system browsing does not support accessing the file system through NCP
NSS junction point objects.
File system browsing is available from the Object Selector, Object Browse, and Tree view, but is not
available in Advanced Browsing mode. Also, file system browsing is not accessible from the Search
or Advanced Search panes.
Available Novell Plug-in Modules: iManager 2.7 lists all the available iManager plug-ins
contained in the packages directory/download site by default. You can download and install plug-ins
from within iManager by querying the Novell download Web site. The previous versions of
iManager listed only the updates to the installed plug-in modules.
NOTE: With NetWare, iManager 2.7 now requires and installs only Tomcat 5. However, OES 2
SP2 installs both Tomcat and Apache. iManager is supported only with the version of Tomcat that is
installed with iManager.
