Field or Option is Disabled
Known Quirks and Limitations
The following are known quirks and limitations of this release of ConsoleOne.
Most of these should no longer exist in future releases.
Possible Cause Solution
You might need to modify some other
setting before the field or option becomes
available.
Click Help for information about using specific fields and
options.
You might not have rights to access the
information or perform the operation
associated with the field or option.
Check your effective rights to the eDirectory property
associated with the field or option. (See “Viewing Effective
Rights” on page 56.) If necessary, contact your network
administrator to get the rights you need.
Quirk or Limitation Workaround
eDirectory searches return only the first 1,200
objects.
If your search returns 1,200 objects and you
suspect there are more, refine the search criteria to
return fewer objects.
Jumping to an object in the right pane by typing its
name doesn’t work if there are more than 1,000
objects in the list.
Use Edit > Find to find the object, or use View >
Filter to hide other object types and then type the
object name.
Selecting large sets of eDirectory objects from a list
of more than 1,000 objects doesn’t work.
(ConsoleOne retrieves the list of objects from
eDirectory one chunk at a time and won’t let you
select across these invisible chunks.)
Select a smaller set of objects and repeat the
operation as many times as needed to complete
your task.
Applying a change to a multi-value property in
eDirectory doesn’t work if the total data size
exceeds 48 KB. For example, deleting 1,000
usernames from a membership list would require
about 48 KB if the average name were 24
characters. (Each character is two bytes.)
Apply the change in smaller chunks.
The count of eDirectory objects in the right pane
(shown in the bottom right corner) is an estimate if
there are more than 1,000 objects.
If your task involves more than 1,000 objects and
an exact count is required, use NetWare
Administrator.
