Application Development<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
This section describes the new features and enhancements <strong>for</strong> the various application<br />
development components of the BIS 11.1 release.<br />
Developer Workshop<br />
Auto Update<br />
This feature provides the option to automatically download latest updates to the<br />
Developer Workshop from the Unisys Support site. If this option is enabled, the<br />
Developer Workshop periodically checks the Unisys support site <strong>for</strong> interim corrections<br />
(IC) and minor updates. If an update is available, the user has the option to upgrade to<br />
the latest available Workshop version.<br />
Change the Current BIS Execution Location<br />
This feature allows you to change the current execution line on the server. The<br />
Developer Workshop allows you to change the execution line only on the active debug<br />
script. There are various ways to change the current BIS execution line, see the<br />
Developer Workshop Help (6891 8952) <strong>for</strong> more details.<br />
Execute BIS Run Commands from the Evaluation/Expression Debug<br />
Window<br />
This feature allows you to enter BIS run syntax in the Evaluation/Expression window to<br />
be executed on the server while in a Developer Workshop debug session. Any BIS run<br />
syntax can be executed. The current execution line is not changed unless directed by<br />
the executed BIS command.<br />
Connection State Saved when a Connection is Closed<br />
When a connection is closed the state of all open projects and scripts or reports is<br />
saved. When the connection is reopened all projects and scripts or reports are restored<br />
to the same state when the connection was closed.<br />
Start a Debug Session Using Debug Step Into and GO (Run) Buttons<br />
The Developer Workshop is enhanced to allow starting a debug session using the debug<br />
buttons: Step Into and Go (Run). When you click the Step Into or GO buttons, the current<br />
active document starts in debug mode and begins executing. This allows a one-click<br />
method to start a debug session.<br />
User-specific Configuration Settings<br />
The Developer Workshop is enhanced to store user configuration settings into a userspecific<br />
location on the system. Users will no longer share Developer Workshop<br />
configuration settings.<br />
7846 0268–014 7
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
JavaScript Features<br />
The following are the JavaScript features <strong>for</strong> the BIS 11.1 release.<br />
BIS JavaScripts to Function as ICE Services<br />
The standardized entry function is enhanced <strong>for</strong> ICEAdmin to be able to register and call<br />
JavaScript ICE services. A release set of helper subroutines assist in referencing Web<br />
browser variables, error recording (from try-catch), and State Management reports.<br />
JavaScript services or BIS script services that call JavaScript subroutines require an<br />
optional dual-use Web input to reference Web Browser input. The new dual-use Web<br />
input is broadly usable, but optional. The new dual-use Web input feature does not affect<br />
existing ICE services unless you open a repository object and select dual-use Web input<br />
in ICEAdmin. You must not select this feature <strong>for</strong> category Component Builder tools or<br />
<strong>for</strong> category iceDrill tools (table development and administration); but you can use it <strong>for</strong><br />
services built by Component Builder and <strong>for</strong> services that display with iceDrill table<br />
presentation services.<br />
The ICEAdmin enhancement enables an ICE service to set a run name to be called<br />
instead of call, cabinet, drawer, and report; this allows the run security constraints to<br />
govern execution.<br />
JavaScript Debugging<br />
The JavaScript Session object is enhanced to enable application developers to<br />
programmatically initiate a Developer Workshop debugging session. This is<br />
accomplished using the new Session.debug() method. Method arguments enable the<br />
developer to have complete control over where and when debugging occurs.<br />
JavaScript XML Processing Extensions<br />
The BIS JavaScript application programming environment is enhanced to include new<br />
extensions to allow processing of XML document data. The BIS programming<br />
extensions to support XML are based on the ECMAScript <strong>for</strong> XML (E4X) standard, which<br />
is an outgrowth of the previous ECMAScript Language specification.<br />
JavaScript Template-driven Document Generation<br />
The BIS JavaScript Dataset object is enhanced to allow records to be added to the calling<br />
Dataset object under scripted control of a specified document template. BIS document<br />
templates use ASP-like markup syntax. This allows a combination of procedural and<br />
literal data to be used in generating the added dataset records. This enhancement is<br />
especially suited <strong>for</strong> Web browser and Web service environments.<br />
8 7846 0268–014
JavaScript Java Client Interface<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
The BIS JavaScript runtime environment is enhanced to facilitate access to Enterprise<br />
Java Beans (EJBs). Access to both stateless and stateful session beans is supported.<br />
Developers can call bean methods, passing arguments and receiving returned data.<br />
This additional capability provides a complement to the BIS J2EE <strong>Server</strong> already<br />
available.<br />
7846 0268–014 9
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
Data Access<br />
This section describes the new features and enhancements <strong>for</strong> the various data access<br />

BIS now allows access to the following types of ADO.NET databases:<br />
• <strong>Microsoft</strong> SQL <strong>Server</strong><br />
• Oracle<br />
• OLE DB<br />
• ODBC<br />
PostgreSQL<br />
Due to the deprecation of the T-LIBS interface to SQL <strong>Server</strong>, users are strongly<br />
encouraged to develop new applications with the new ADO.NET interface, which is the<br />
database subtype of SQL <strong>Server</strong>. Current BIS applications can migrate from the SQL<br />
<strong>Server</strong> interface, however there might be differences in the exact data type and column<br />
width returned from the ADO.NET interface to SQL <strong>Server</strong>.<br />
Note: Unisys Trans-IT ODBC driver is not applicable through ADO.NET on 64 bit<br />
machines.<br />
BIS level 11.1 MAPPER Relational Interface (MRI) is now certified with PostgreSQL<br />
ODBC driver version 8.03.02 and PostgreSQL OLEDB driver version 1.0.0.20.<br />
MYSQL Native API Interface<br />
BIS now allows native access to MySQL 3.51, 5.0, and 5.1.<br />
ODBC <strong>Server</strong><br />
The ODBC <strong>Server</strong> feature is now supported in both BIS <strong>for</strong> <strong>Microsoft</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> 32-bit<br />
and 64-bit environments.<br />
10 7846 0268–014

BATCHMAPPER.EXE program is a fully supported method of starting BIS scripts from<br />
the <strong>Windows</strong> command prompt, scheduled tasks, or any other <strong>Windows</strong> environment<br />
that can start <strong>Windows</strong> processes.<br />
This feature increases the maximum number of concurrent user sessions on 64-bit<br />
<strong>Windows</strong> and Linux BIS plat<strong>for</strong>ms. A maximum of 2000 user sessions are now allowed<br />
on Intel EM64T plat<strong>for</strong>ms and 1024 user sessions are allowed on 32-bit plat<strong>for</strong>ms.<br />
G Option on F and @FND (Find Function)<br />
The new G option is added to @FND <strong>for</strong> Open BIS. This option already exists on @FND in<br />
BIS <strong>for</strong> OS 2200.<br />
7846 0268–014 11
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
Graphical Interface <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> (GI-BIS)<br />
Enhancements<br />
@CBX Statement<br />
A new “A” option is added to the @CBX statement to allow sending of input<br />

vertical and/or horizontal scroll bars if any visible child window is truncated.<br />
MPC Session<br />
GUI Sign On<br />
An MPC session can now display a close alert message to avoid accidental termination<br />
of the session.<br />
<strong>Windows</strong> User-Specific Files in a User-Unique Directory<br />
All users of GI-BIS (as well as Developer Workshop GI BIS), will automatically create or<br />
modify GI-BIS files in a unique local application data directory belonging to the <strong>Windows</strong><br />
user. With this change, GI-BIS users that share the same workstation do not share user<br />
specific files. Each <strong>Windows</strong> user has directory unique configuration files (MSF files,<br />
script files), and has directory unique data files that are downloaded during execution.<br />
This new feature provides a seamless modern interface <strong>for</strong> users with workstation client<br />
sessions when signing on and off of their BIS systems. The LOGON run provides a GUI<br />
interface <strong>for</strong> users to enter sign-on in<strong>for</strong>mation or change passwords. This feature adds a<br />
new security element. When enabled, users are <strong>for</strong>ced to manually enter their BIS<br />
credentials each time they sign on to their BIS system.<br />

gateway to the user-specified directory and ensures that the minimum required files are<br />
present. For <strong>Windows</strong>, this includes a gateway to CISystem (Default.asp and<br />
CIErrorHandler-HTML.asp) and establishes the initial Gatetool records to make the<br />
operation possible. All maintenance after that can be per<strong>for</strong>med normally.<br />
User Management Improvements<br />
• Integrated ICE user registration with the BIS User Registration drawer.<br />
• User registration controls ICE access and determines if a user can change password<br />
at ICE logon. These controls are added to the user registration even if ICE is not<br />
installed.<br />
• During the UPGRADE run, permission to access ICE and any restriction from<br />
changing passwords are copied from the existing registration (2E3950). For all other<br />
user IDs ICE access is not allowed but passwords can be changed.<br />
• User registration <strong>for</strong> large departments can be optimized by marking the department<br />
as sorted.<br />
ICE Profiles<br />
Any ICE profile can be applied to an entire department or individual users. This feature<br />
reduces the maintenance <strong>for</strong> large departments where most users share the same<br />
profile of privileges.<br />
ICE Activity Logging <strong>for</strong> High Volume<br />
ICE activity logging <strong>for</strong> high volume sites (over a million events) can now be recorded in<br />
several reports and maintained or analyzed on a daily basis.<br />
Maintain Cross Gateway Session ID in BIS/ICE<br />
In the previous ICE levels, if two ICE websites (gateways) where hosted on the same<br />
ICE host server, authentication (session-ID) was associated with the ICE host server but<br />
specific to each website. There<strong>for</strong>e, a new session-ID or login request was required<br />
every time a user switched between the websites. Now a session-ID <strong>for</strong> an ICE session<br />
is marked as applicable at the website (gateway) level and not at the host level.<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e, multiple websites on the same ICE server will run independently.<br />

<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
HTML Consistency<br />
The HTML coding is changed to con<strong>for</strong>m to HTML 4.01 Transitional with Frameset<br />
specification. Firefox is supported in addition to <strong>Microsoft</strong> Internet Explorer <strong>for</strong> ICE<br />
features where they are functionally equivalent and independent of the hosting plat<strong>for</strong>m.<br />
Templates are constructed <strong>for</strong> HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 specifications. This<br />
feature makes it easier to develop consistent application pages.<br />
Long Network Path Name<br />
BIS and MRI are enhanced to handle long domain names. Domain names consisting of a<br />
maximum of 131 characters can now be included.<br />
New Script Statement - @DIAG<br />
@DIAG is a new command that enables script designers to obtain script debug<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation during execution or following a script error. Command options specify the<br />
exact type of in<strong>for</strong>mation requested.<br />
MapAdmin Site Initialization Options<br />
The Administration Client Initialization and Recovery dialog now provides an option <strong>for</strong><br />
displaying Verbose or Limited messages. The Limited messages option allows the site<br />
initialization and recovery process to complete faster.<br />
RDB and @RDB (Run Debug) – Setting the Default Debugger<br />
The Developer Workshop is the default debugger <strong>for</strong> BIS. If you do not want the<br />
Developer Workshop to be the default debugger on your BIS site, you can use the<br />
MapAdmin administration tool to set the legacy debugger as the default debugger. See<br />
the BIS MapAdmin Help (7850 2663) <strong>for</strong> details. Regardless of this setting, if you<br />
provide either a WorkshopHostAddress or WorkshopPortNumber argument on your<br />
@RDB command, the debug session attempts to debug using the Developer Workshop.<br />
See the BIS Command Reference <strong>for</strong> additional @RDB command in<strong>for</strong>mation.<br />
Subroutine Logging<br />
This feature provides an intermediate level of script logging, where log entries are made<br />
at the entry and exit of each subroutine called. This allows script logic to be more easily<br />
tracked and simplifies identification of high-overhead subroutine scripts.<br />
Totalize Function Enhancement<br />
The Totalize (TOT) function or TOT statement is enhanced to allow up to 80 operations in<br />
any one parameter line, and you can use up to two parameter lines.<br />

Unregistered JavaScript Subroutine Calling<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
The Call Subroutine (CALL) statement is enhanced to allow unregistered JavaScript<br />
subroutine calls. Earlier versions only supported a registered subroutine calling interface.<br />
The unregistered subroutine calling interface is more efficient and should normally be<br />
used when subroutine security encapsulation is not required.<br />

<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
Security<br />
Add a User ID to the Administrators Group During<br />
Installation<br />
A new installation dialog is provided to enable you to optionally add a user ID to the BIS<br />
Administrators group. More in<strong>for</strong>mation about this feature can be found in the <strong>Business</strong><br />
<strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Microsoft</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> Installation Help (7850 2671) and the<br />
<strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> Administration Help (7846 0284).<br />
BIS-to-BIS Network Security<br />
Encryption of user or application data is added to the BIS-to-BIS networking interface.<br />
BIS administrators can now indicate that encryption of user or application network data is<br />
either preferred or required. A site level setting defines the minimum network security<br />
requirement <strong>for</strong> all inbound and outbound BIS-to-BIS connections. A new field in the<br />
Network Configuration Report allows outbound security settings on a per-destination<br />
basis.<br />
Additionally, application designers can indicate minimum security requirements on a<br />
per-connection basis through the Network Sign-on (@NET) script statement. An<br />
application setting can increase but not lower the minimum security settings already set<br />
by the BIS administrator.<br />
Note: The default site setting <strong>for</strong> BIS network security is changed to “Login<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation preferred”. This means that BIS session establishment in<strong>for</strong>mation is<br />
encrypted when sent over a network. If the peer site does not support encryption, the<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation is sent in clear text. In BIS 10, the default setting was “None preferred”,<br />
which sends login in<strong>for</strong>mation in clear text. When upgrading an installation to BIS 11, the<br />
network security settings of each existing BIS site is changed to the new default, if its<br />
current setting is “None preferred”.<br />
Developer Workshop Data and Network Security<br />
The Developer Workshop is enhanced to use network data encryption when<br />
communicating with BIS. A new connection property is provided to enable network data<br />
encryption on a per-connection basis. This property is optional and can be selected if<br />
encryption is required. A global Developer Workshop setting is also added to allow<br />
elevating a debug session to use network data encryption regardless of the BIS server<br />
network data encryption settings.<br />
GI-BIS Network Session Data Encryption<br />
The GI-BIS network interface is enhanced to support encryption of session data. This<br />
feature allows BIS administrators and/or GI-BIS users to ensure that in<strong>for</strong>mation<br />
exchanged between a GI-BIS client and a BIS server is secure. This enhancement is<br />
similar to the BIS-to-BIS network security enhancement.<br />

Security Report and Group Management using PCMA<br />
The Security task menu now has the option to add or delete Security Registration<br />
reports. It also has the option to add, modify, and delete Security Group permissions<br />
within a Security Registration report.<br />

7846 0268–014 19
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
License Types<br />
There are two types of licenses available <strong>for</strong> BIS <strong>for</strong> <strong>Windows</strong>:<br />
• Named user license<br />
• Processor license<br />
Prior to BIS <strong>for</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> level 10.1, users were defined by the number of concurrent<br />
sessions open at any one time. With BIS level 10.1 this method of defining BIS resource<br />
access is no longer used. Continuing with BIS level 11.1 all users are defined as named<br />
users. Named users are individuals or devices authorized to use the BIS resources<br />
regardless of whether the individual is actively accessing BIS resources at any given<br />
time. A device is counted as a named user if the device accesses BIS resources.<br />
For example: If one person has three Graphical Interface sessions open, only one named<br />
license is required. If ten people are accessing the BIS engine at different times, each<br />
person is required to have a license.<br />
A processor license is used when the number of named users is undefined or it is more<br />
economical to license by processor rather than by named users. Each processor<br />
assigned to a server—or (virtual) partition—where the BIS server engine is executing<br />
must be licensed. With processor licenses, it is not necessary to identify all of the<br />
named users. With BIS release 11.1, the processor terminology is continued to be used.<br />
However, a processor will be defined as having up to four cores. Processors will be<br />
calculated by taking the number of cores assigned to the BIS partition and dividing by<br />
four. When there are fractions (six cores in a socket), it is rolled up to a whole number.<br />
Note: For both the named user license and the processor license, there is a physical<br />
limit of 2000 current user sessions that can be attached to the BIS engine.<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Maintenance<br />
<strong>Software</strong> maintenance is optionally available <strong>for</strong> BIS level 11.1. This service provides<br />
access to telephone support, access to the support Web site, self-help via the support<br />
Web site, fixes, interim corrections, and in-level updates (<strong>for</strong> example, a no-charge<br />
update to level 11.2 if it were offered). This service does not provide <strong>for</strong> a no-charge<br />
upgrade to a major release (<strong>for</strong> example, level 12.x). For more in<strong>for</strong>mation see Section 6.<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Subscriptions<br />
To complement named user and processor licenses in the budgeting of new releases,<br />
software subscriptions are also available. <strong>Software</strong> subscriptions are annual license fees<br />
that provide the right to receive future releases of BIS <strong>for</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> at no additional cost.<br />
It is important to note that if a software license consists of more than one item (style),<br />
then the corresponding software subscription must be purchased <strong>for</strong> each software item<br />
(style) purchased.<br />
Multiple <strong>Server</strong>s/Partitions<br />
If multiple BIS engines are executing on multiple servers or partitions within a server,<br />
then each BIS engine must be licensed either by a named user or processor license.<br />

Backup BIS <strong>Server</strong>s<br />
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
BIS level 11.1 may be installed at no cost on a server designated as a backup server <strong>for</strong><br />
business continuance or disaster recovery. Reasonable testing on a regular basis is<br />
permitted to ensure that failover executes properly. If the BIS installed on the backup<br />
server is used <strong>for</strong> anything other than disaster recovery such as development, testing, or<br />
training, then an appropriate BIS license is required.<br />

Section 5<br />
Restrictions and Known<br />
Limitations<br />
This section describes restrictions and limitations applying to <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong><br />
<strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Microsoft</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> level 11.1. It presents in<strong>for</strong>mation under the following<br />
categories:<br />
• Operational restrictions and limitations<br />
• ODBC server restrictions and limitations<br />
• Future Considerations<br />
Operational Restrictions and Limitations<br />
Compatibility of Existing COM Components on EM64T<br />
It is not possible to load 32-bit in-process components in 64-bit BIS. <strong>Windows</strong> restricts<br />
the loading of 32-bit dlls into 64-bit processes. However, existing 32-bit out-of-process<br />
components can be loaded in 64-bit BIS.<br />
Oracle Support<br />
Oracle 8i and 9i are no longer supported by BIS.<br />
WebSphere MQ<br />
Date/Time<br />
WebSphere MQ must be installed be<strong>for</strong>e you can run the Message Queuing feature.<br />
If both the exact date and exact time are required in a BIS script, they both must be<br />
obtained in a single @LDV or in a single @DC run command. Multiple fields of a<br />
date/time reserved word must be loaded with a single @LDV command.<br />
7846 0268–014 47
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
Amount of <strong>Server</strong> Shared Memory<br />
The maximum size of BIS server shared memory available depends on the operating<br />
system build and patches installed, as well as on the features of BIS that are in use at<br />
your site. On 32-bit <strong>Windows</strong> operating systems, more than 1500 MB is generally<br />
available <strong>for</strong> use by BIS. However, if you are using the TPMAPPER feature, the amount<br />
of BIS server shared memory is limited to 1200 MB.<br />
Occasionally, installing <strong>Windows</strong> security patches has adversely affected the maximum<br />
amount of shared memory available. If BIS sites do not start after applying <strong>Windows</strong><br />
patches, the MapAdmin program should be used to reduce the BIS server shared<br />
memory value. In general, a value less than 1000 MB will work regardless of the patches<br />
installed. Reducing the BIS server shared memory value might require the BIS sites to<br />
be reconfigured to use less shared memory. Generally, the easiest value to reduce is the<br />
"Number of Blocks <strong>for</strong> Caching Results" on the site’s Capacity property page.<br />
Scripts, Functions, and Statements<br />
Be aware of the following restrictions or limitations that apply to scripts, functions, and<br />
statements:<br />
• In MAPPER Query Language (MQL), the maximum number of operands or operators<br />
in an arithmetic expression or a WHERE clause cannot exceed 384.<br />
• Do not use the Command Handler (CHD) statement if you are using a Call subroutine<br />
(CALL), a Run Start (RUN), or a Run subroutine (RSR) statement. If you do use the<br />
CHD statement, register it in the main script and do not access it in any lower-level<br />
routines. Using the CHD statement within subroutines or CALL routines leads to<br />
unpredictable results.<br />
Storage and Processing Capacity<br />
The maximum number of cabinets is increased to 4,000. However, cabinets 3,900<br />
through 4,000 are reserved <strong>for</strong> future internal <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> development<br />
and enhancements.<br />
<strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> allows up to 2000 simultaneously active reports <strong>for</strong> each<br />
site. This includes active reports <strong>for</strong> any user or software process (such as MAPQUE,<br />
DISPATCHER, APPLOAD, and PURGE) attached to that site. An active report is any<br />
report that is on display, being executed, or in use by a manual function or a statement,<br />
such as Search or SRH.<br />
48 7846 0268–014
<strong>Software</strong> Release Announcement<br />
ODBC <strong>Server</strong> Restrictions and Limitations<br />
Be aware of the following considerations and limitations of the Open Database<br />
Connectivity (ODBC) server feature:<br />
• Only one ODBC server is supported. If the <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Microsoft</strong><br />
<strong>Windows</strong> and Internet Commerce Enabler both are installed on the same system,<br />
the ODBC server is installed and associated with the first installation.<br />
• If another copy of <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> is installed as a separate <strong>Business</strong><br />
<strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> installation, the ODBC server feature works with the first<br />
<strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> installation only. If you wish to install a newer version of<br />
<strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> and use ODBC with that version, you must per<strong>for</strong>m an<br />
upgrade process on the first <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong> or remove it and install the<br />
later version of <strong>Business</strong> <strong>In<strong>for</strong>mation</strong> <strong>Server</strong>.<br />
• With <strong>Microsoft</strong> Access, you can use design view to design select queries. However,<br />
you need to use SQL-specific pass-through to design, insert, delete, and update<br />
queries.<br />
• The Table Description and Column Comments fields in the OTBL script are not<br />
passed back to the <strong>Microsoft</strong> Access ODBC client application. There<strong>for</strong>e, you cannot<br />
observe these entries on the Table Properties and Field Description tabs in <strong>Microsoft</strong><br />
Access.<br />
• You must restart <strong>Microsoft</strong> Query be<strong>for</strong>e you can view table data sets defined with<br />
the OTBL script.<br />
ODBC Driver Restrictions and Limitations<br />
The following are the restrictions and limitations <strong>for</strong> ODBC drivers:<br />
• Only MySQL ODBC driver versions 3.51 and 5.1 are supported.<br />
• Unisys Trans-IT ODBC driver is not applicable through ADO.NET on 64 bit machines.<br />
Future Considerations<br />
In GI-BIS, the <strong>Windows</strong> template type used to create connection scripts will be<br />
discontinued in a future level. All users are encouraged to migrate to connection scripts<br />
based on the Alternative Credentials or Location-Only templates. Connection scripts<br />
based on these templates provide security <strong>for</strong> user credentials and optionally provide<br />
data transmission security.<br />
