icerabbit Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 In the midst of my failing PLM issue and its replacement attempt; I have found myself not quite able to trust an old win 7 laptop + java 8 + pale moon browser ... in that certain things the progress bar don't complete, and then I can't trust whether it did what it had to do. Like restore PLM quits at 7%. Browser sometimes wants to flash away or goes idle? Which prompted me to look if I could perhaps use another old system with Internet Explorer and maybe Java 7 or such; to rule out a software issue. The problem is that there seems to be a very narrow window between an older system that has a functional browser ... I am seeing a lot of white pages when I try to get on the landing page of my ISY or JAVA 2+ required. Even when I have JAVA 7 installed already. Any recommendations? For a good working combo? Maybe a sleek virtual machine combo, so that I could maybe run it on a recent Windows or Mac laptop?
BamBamF16 Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 I would recommend against using any browser to do anything with ISY. Use the dedicated launcher or the generic launcher. Either option is better than the browser method. Jeff
icerabbit Posted February 7, 2022 Author Posted February 7, 2022 How does one get into the admin console (add remove stuff, edit program, etc) using the launcher? It seems to only give me the generic page to turn items on/off.

BamBamF16 Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Click this: Right click on line and select Admin Console (LAN): Get to admin console.

icerabbit Posted February 7, 2022 Author Posted February 7, 2022 Thank you so much! So, as long as the system has JAVA installed, then the above should work, regardless of windows versions most likely; as it bypasses browsers and their various security things and/or limitations. When I looked at the launcher in the past or on my Mac, I only got the regular " user " screen. ... Fingers crossed, this ends my search for something that is compatible in this day and age. Many thanks.

So long as the system has JRE v9 or less, or Oracle JDK v8 or less, it should work. Anything newer probably won't support Java applet launch from jnlp files. For others, download the isyfinder-2.0.jar file on the web and use the following command (in a script or batch file): java -jar .\downloads\isyfinder-2.0.jar
