Hi,

At yesterday's Admin I-Team meeting, I mentioned that I need to add to
the Release Notes information about options in man pages that are not
supported at TP2.

I discussed with Sreeni the information that should be provided and we
agreed that, as TP2 is an early access release for developers, it's not
worth spending time tracking down every option in every man page that is
not supported.

Instead, we should provide a general statement that some options are not
supported at TP2 and are ignored, specifically options that relate to
clusters and multiple server instances, for example:

* Options that relate to clusters and multiple server instances, for
example, --target

* Options that relate to profiles, for example the --profile

We also agreed that the Release Notes should state that if a user types
an unsupported option, a syntax error does not occur. Instead, the
command is run successfully and the unsupported option is silently ignored.

I plan to add this information to the Release Notes later today or tomorrow.

Regards,
