Known issues
Please refer to Adobe Support for late-breaking information and known issues.
Useful tips
- The security setting for Internet browser must be medium for Web-Admin Access or the RoboHelp Server 8 site must be a trusted site.
- Microsoft Access is not a desired database on production server.
Microsoft Access, accessed through the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver, is not thread-safe. This means that multiple different concurrent connections to Access will not necessarily work in a correct manner. In consequence, we can't have multiple connection objects open at the same time and, therefore access doesn't work well under heavy load.
- IIS on Vista configured with Tomcat is not recommended as Tomcat ISAPI redirector does not have good support for IIS7
