Prerequisites
Site Server 3.0 Service Pack 2 is necessary for compliance. Service Pack 2 addresses known Year 2000 issues and has the additional features of making Site Server 3.0 and Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition compatible with the Microsoft BackOffice« 4.5 platform, including support for SQL Server 7.0. Service Pack 2 is available at http://support.microsoft.com/support/siteserver/servicepacks/sp.asp.
How the product handles dates:
- For Content Replication, date and time is stored as an 8-byte real value (double), with a positive number representing a date between January 1, 1900, and December 31, 2078.
- For Personalization and Membership, the date and time is stored as an 8-byte field. Four bytes for the number of dates before or after the base date of January 1, 1900, and four bytes for the number of milliseconds after midnight. Dates range from January 1, 1753 to December 31, 9999.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
- With the Microsoft Management Console, the input of dates is controlled by selecting from a drop-down box that displays dates in a 4-digit year format.
- The Web Admin gives a message if the user tries to enter a year with 2 digits.
- In the Rule Builder, 2-digit shortcuts are allowed when editing rules. The 2-digit shortcut is enabled if the system short date format is set for "yy".
- With the Rule Builder, the conversion is done using various external objects, such as the OLE date time pickers, and components gained either from the operating system or Internet Explorer 4.
- Membership Directory Manager supports dates in 2-digit shortcuts.
- With the Membership Directory Manager, the logic is the same as for Internet Explorer 4.0.
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
In general, avoid testing in a production environment or with non-duplicated production files because side effects with other products are difficult to predict.
Site Server 3 Testing
Microsoft understands that for various reasons customers may be required to conduct their own year 2000 certification testing. Microsoft provides the tests below to aid customers in conducting their own year 2000 certification of Site Server 3.
- Post data between systems that have one set to December 31, 1999 and the other set to January 1, 2000, simulating time-zone issues.
- Also, start replication between servers just prior to midnight, December 31, 1999.
- Add members to Membership Groups with expiration date set to right before and after January 1, 2000.
