A quick look at the HMC book on resource link, I find: Hardware Management Console Web browser support requires HTML 2.0, JavaScript(tm) 1.0, a supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and cookie support in browsers that connects to it. Contact your support personnel to assist you in determining if your browser is configured with a supported Java Virtual Machine. It is required that the Web browser uses the HTTP 1.1 protocol and if you are using a proxy server, the HTTP 1.1 protocol is enabled for the proxy connections. Additionally, pop-ups must be enabled for all Hardware Management Consoles addressed in the browser if running with pop-ups disabled. The following browsers have been tested:
Microsoft® Internet Explorer 6.0 or later Note: If this browser is configured to use an internet proxy, then local intranet addresses should be included in the exception list, consult your network administrator for more information. If you still need to use the proxy to get to the Hardware Management Console, enable Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections under the Advanced tab in your Internet Options window. v Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 or later and Sun JRE 1.5 or later if you are using IPv6 addresses. v Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 with (at a minimum) Java SE 6, update 13. Firefox 1.5.0.7 or later Note: For Firefox 2.0 or later and Firefox 3.0 or later make sure the JavaScript(tm) option to raise or lower windows and move or resize existing windows is enabled. To enable this option for Firefox 2.0 or later, go to the Content tab in the Options dialog of the browser, click Advanced... next to the Enable JavaScript option, then select Raise or lower windows and Move or resize existing windows options, then click OK to enable. These features allow you to switch easily between HMC tasks and to resize the task window. For Firefox 3.0 or later, go to Tools on the browser menu bar, select Options... from the list, select Content from the Options window, click Advanced that appears to the right of the Enable JavaScript option, select Move or resize existing windows and Raise or lower windows from the Advanced JavaScript Settings window, then click OK to enable. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Knutson, Sam Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 4:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HMC Web Interface java -version java version "1.6.0_18" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_18-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode, sharing) IE8 on XP SP3 with all critical patches Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO System z Team Leader mailto:[email protected] (office) 301.986.3574 (cell) 301.996.1318 "Think big, act bold, start simple, grow fast..." -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Kopischke Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 8:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HMC Web Interface On Thu, 30 Sep 2010 19:53:59 -0400, Stan Weyman wrote: > have you tried reloading Java on your machine.

I'm at 1.6.0_07. I upgraded to _13, _14 and _21. They each allowed me to get to the sign-on page, but the app didn't render properly so it was not usable. I can't get FireFox until it gets blessed by our desktop support folks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ==================== This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
