| Product Details |
|
The Site Server Enterprise Edition 2.0 product is comprised of two main programs - Site Server 2.0 and Commerce Server 2.0. The overall product is Not Compliant due primarily to issues in the Site Server 2.0 code. See the Site Server 2.0 compliance document for specific details. While Site Server 2.0 and Site Server Commerce are bundled and shipped together, they can be run independently of one another. If Site Server Commerce 2.0 is run with the Wallet upgrade (provided below), it will reach a rating of Compliant. What follows are known issues/workarounds with the Commerce Server portion of Site Server Enterprise Edition 2.0.
How the product handles dates:
Dates are passed and stored in a 4-digit manner. In cases where a user enters a 2-digit date, the product uses the Visual Basic script libraries and the OLE data functions to convert these dates to a 4-digit value.
Two-digit shortcut handling:
It is recommended that users use a 4-digit date when administering a store. In cases where a user enters a 2-digit date, the product uses the Visual Basic script libraries and the OLE data functions to convert these dates to a 4-digit value.
What issues are known?:
Please also see the Site Server 2.0 compliance document.
Microsoft Wallet version 2.0 is included with this product. See the Product Guide for Internet Explorer version 4.0 for more information on Year 2000 issues and updates related to Microsoft Wallet.
Additional information regarding upgrading Microsoft Wallet is below.
Recommendations:
Please also see the Site Server 2.0 Compliance Document.
Upgrade all references to the Microsoft Wallet to point to version 2.01.00.1383. This will force a download of an updated, compliant version of the Microsoft Wallet. This is something that happens automatically with an ActiveX control. This control can also be obtained from http://www.microsoft.com/wallet/downloads/default.asp. Re-author administration pages that allow date entry, to require the use of a 4-digit year.
Common date usage errors:
Since usage of this product does involve some development/authoring, the possibility of an author introducing a Year 2000 issue does exist. To minimize the possibilities of these issues, users should design for 4-digit year entries and pass 4-digit years to function calls that are made.
Notes:
Portions of Site Server Enterprise Edition 2.0 are implemented using the Python programming language. These libraries are known to work with dates up to, but not exceeding, the year 2038. | |
