2.2 What’s New or Changed in DFS (OES 23.4)

2.2.1 Branding Update

Micro Focus is now part of OpenText. Products across the portfolio are now rebranded to reflect OpenText or a more appropriate name. This corporate change impacts the name of products and components, user interfaces, logos, and so on. As a result of this corporate change, OES 2023 SP1 is now referred as OES 23.4.

The documentation is being updated in stages to reflect these changes, including names and screenshots. You can still come across references to Micro Focus in the documentation library until all of the manuals are updated.

2.2.2 DFS Management Tool Enhancements

Beginning with OES 23.4 release, DFS provides the following enhancements and changes:

  • DFS Management Tool (dfstool) is a command line utility for managing DFS operations that works only with DFS junctions and Management Context.

  • DFS junction now supports non-OES targets along with OES targets.

    • dfstool allows you to create the DFS junctions pointing to the target type which can be either OES or non-OES targets.

    • OES supports both NCP and SMB target whereas non-OES supports only SMB targets.

  • DFS junction support pointing to multiple OES targets.

For more information, see Section A.3, DFSTOOL, Section 11.15, Creating DFS Junction Pointing to Multiple Targets and Section 11.16, Creating DFS Junction Pointing to Non-OES Targets.
