I’m starting this as the first post on my blog because I wanted to start with the past of TeamSite and then slowly move towards the present TeamSite. TeamSite 6.5 is a very old version. However, there are many companies still using the older version and the TeamSite developers working on the latest versions might not be aware of it. Also someone might need to check what the older version of TeamSite had and this could be a good reference.

License keys

The way for licensing TeamSite has changed from this version. You now have to acquire license key from Interwoven when you install TeamSite. Earlier there was a little complicated prosidure to install the license. In this version:

  • License keys resides in iw-home/etc/TS.lic (not in iw.cfg as in earlier releases).
  • The number of content stores and server CPUs is encoded in TeamSite license key.

Content Transformation Services

This services allows TeamSite users to convert MS Word documents to PDF or HTML format directly from ContentCenter Standard(CCStd) or ContentCenter Professional(CCPro). This service needs to be installed seperately.

Submit Wizard Configuration

The default behavior for CCStd is to invoke a submit wizard after the following file operations:

  • Create New DCR
  • Edit
  • Delete
  • Copy
  • Move
  • Rename
  • Import

CCStd can be configured to skip the submit wizard following these operations.

User and Group Access

The TeamSite server can be configured to use cached user and group information at startup and startup time can be significantly reduced. TeamSite roles can be stored in LDAP or Active Directory.

Configuring File System List Columns in CCPro

In this TeamSite release, the lists associated with the file system (files, directories, branches, workareas, and so on) can be customized for column display and order.

The iwfsck Command

This CLT has now several new and deleted options and was modified to improve performance.

  • Simplified Chinese

Searching on non-English language specific content is now available in the Advanced Search screen.Support for full text and metadata search is now available at the API level.

Performance

Dramatically improved performance of iw-webd in high-volume environments. Handling of Active Directory groups has been improved. Listing forms and generated assets and access control have also been improved.

Edition

Automatic edition numbering is now handled by TeamSite.

These are the features I’m aware of in TeamSite 6.5 SP2. If you think I’ve missed anything you can just post a comment to this blog. I’ll update the blog accordingly.
