The installation will inform the user to upgrade the version of MDAC to v2.60. The URL where they can find the download is provided. The installation program will then terminate. Rapport Service Discovery In the case where there are more clients than licensed, the Rapport Service continues to discover clients even when paused, and replaces the clients in the database and allows the user to generate the Client Listing report. 168E-0202A-WWEN 4

Enhanced Subnet Dialog Box
The New Subnet Broadcast Address dialog box has been enhanced to allow the user to enter the
number of contiguous subnet mask bits (Cisco style) using a spin control on the IP address field
of the dialog box.
Install Program Enhancements
Several changes have been made to the install program to make it more user-friendly and reliable.
The following changes are part of Rapport v3.02:
S
A unified progress meter shows the progress of all working processes to provide consistent
feedback to the user.
S
A check verifies read/write permissions on the Rapport FTP folder (Software Repository)
after the configuration of IIS by the Rapport installation program.
S
The database attach and detach functionality has been improved.
S
Non-English versions of Windows are properly handled.
S
Installation and proper functioning of German and French versions of
Windows 2000 Server/Advanced Server are supported. The constraints are
as follows:
S
The German and French versions of SQL server or MSDE should not be installed on the
server prior to running the Rapport install program. Either the Rapport install program
must install the English version of MSDE or an English version of SQL must be
installed separately for Rapport to work correctly. The installation program pauses if it
finds a non-English MSDE or SQL installed on the server. It will inform the user that
Rapport does not support that version and that either the non-English MSDE or SQL must
be removed or Rapport must be installed on another server. The installation program will
terminate.
S
If the Rapport install program finds a version of MDAC earlier than v2.60, it will install
the English version. On a non-English server this is usually unacceptable as this replaces
Control Panel applets with English versions and so on. German and French MDACs must
be upgraded to v2.60 prior to installing Rapport. The Rapport install program recognizes
non-English versions of MDAC that are older than v2.60. The installation will inform the
user to upgrade the version of MDAC to v2.60. The URL where they can find the
download is provided. The installation program will then terminate.
Rapport Service Discovery
In the case where there are more clients than licensed, the Rapport Service continues to discover
clients even when paused, and replaces the clients in the database and allows the user to generate
the Client Listing report.
