NetWorker Management Console and Java Runtime Environment 1.6

Usually companies before doing such push will check compatibility among software applications they use - obviously that was not done here. I have no idea which release will support 1.6. What you can try (and I can't promise that will work as I didn't test it) is to have 1.5.x and 1.6.x installed and then in java properties select 1.5.x. only to be used with NMC.

Yeah I talked to the Windows Server Admins about that. We had a good laugh about it. I went ahead and unistalled 1.6 and then reinstall 1.5 for the quick fix. But I only had to do this for a few machines, so it wasn't that bad. I am going to test having both versions installed and selecting the 1.5 to run the Console on my machine today. I will post later to say how it goes. Thanks for the reply.

If you're ok with sharing a drive (or copying jar files) from the NMC server, you can try this. Yes, I know it's a hack, but it works fine for me.

1. Map a drive letter to \\servername\c$\program files\legato\management (I used letter X:)
2. Kick off everything from the command line. This reproduces the jnlp file as a command line execution. I have a run_nmc.bat file that looks like this:

set NMC_SERVER=myservername
set NMC_LOCATION=x:\web\java

rem If you only have JRE, and not JDK, copy these two files into x:\web\java instead and just change JAVA_HOME to x:\web\java

set JAVA_HOME="c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_03"
set CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\sample\jnlp\servlet\jnlp.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar
