  • 1.  Unable to launch OC on Solaris 11 Client (as JRE 8 no longer supports javaws)

    Posted Jul 26, 2016 03:10 AM

    Hi all,

     

    we just upgraded to Spectrum 10.1.1.

     

    One of our Client-Systems needed to run OC-Application is a Solaris 11 Intelplatform (x86) system.

    With Spectrum 10.1.1 JRE 1.8.0_51 is needed on client-systems, but unfortunately JRE 1.8.0_51 for Solaris 11 (x86) no longer supports Java-Webstart (javaws) - what the heck!

     

    Has anybody in the community ever had this issue?

    Any hacks to run javaws of older JRE-Installations?

     

    Thanks for any feedback.

     

    Lothar

    Hi,

     

    this workaround is  not officially supported by CA, but you can search for an alternative web starter. For example sourceforge->netx.

    Hi Olaf,

     

    the workaround you provided with netx solved the problem.

     

    Many thanks for your quick and helpful response.

     

    Maybe CA will test this and later implement it in docs.
