Portal Content Directory (PCD) API

New

The following changes were made to the API used to access the PCD:

  • The interface INewObjectDescriptor is deprecated.

    Instead, use NewObjectDescriptor.

  • The addiView method enables you to specify where to add the iView inside the layout container, by specifying a vertical position.

Real-Time Messaging Framework (RTMF)

Enhanced

A new parameter has been added to the RTMF setup called MaxTotalICMPollingUsers. This parameter specifies the number of RTMF-based clients that poll the server through the Internet Communication Manager (ICM). Polling through the ICM improves server performance by reducing the amount of hits made to each server node, and by reusing cached information.

There is now documentation about the ClientsUseRTMFHub parameter. Setting this value to true when you have more than one RTMF client using the RTMF hub optimizes polling on the client side.
