So we've gone ahead and upgraded from Casper 8.0 to 8.22. So far, so
good. A lot of the database scans and purging of old entries is far
faster. But...
I'm curious why the JSS Setup Utility application was dropped from the
Casper Suite. Of course, I can use the tools available in the JSS over
at Settings -> Database/Web Application Health but... the Setup
Utility.app had more options like:
+ tomcatpermission repair/flush caches
+ filesharing permission repair
+ performing back-ups/restores of backups
+ running a script against the mySQL database
Yes, i know there's the new JSSDatabaseUtil.jar located at
/Library/JSS/bin. But that's a second/separate application and I liked
the simplicity of being able to run ANY of my server updates/repair
work through one interface.
My question: is there ANY HARM in using an older version of the JSS
Setup Utility app (from, say, Capser 8.0) to run these same functions
on my 8.22 JSS?
