Hi,

I've not read this thread until today when I've upgraded my server to 7.6.2.5 Build 681 and Java to 6u29 :-(

Thanks to the tip of 6u26.

If you want to download old Java versions you can go to the Java Archive at:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

Then the JRE 6u26 at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u26-oth-JPR

and the final link (for Windows) is:
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/6u26-b03//jre-6u26-windows-i586.exe

Hope this helps!

Did Update 29 just come out by any chance?  I had a report that one of our Ops 
team is not able to see my Server in the 'main' management console (the 
'Enterprise' tab).

I had them escalate to our desktop folks (since only the one desk was 
affected), but did not think Java itself would upgrade.  We're still on 7.4.4 
(EBS) here, and the 1.5.x Java that NMC gives you has auto-update (wisely) 
turned off.

I remember at this version java was part of 7.4, but version 7.5 and
later java isn't bundled to Networker binaries and java update 1.6.0.29
complete broke nmc functionality for 7.5 and 7.6 series. BTW java
1.6.0.27 have issues too, so latest java for nmc and clients is 1.6.0.26
and seems at version 7.6.2 is now fixed.

relevant part from issue tracker (esg124036)

*_Symptoms_*

The NetWorker Management Console application will fail to
execute correctly on NetWorker setups configured with JRE 6 Update 27
and JRE 7.

*_Cause_*

Installing JRE 6 Update 27 and JRE 7 will impair NMC functionality and
NMC cannot be run successfully.

  *_Resolution_*

NetWorker NMC configurations are currently supported ONLY on NetWorker
setups configured with JRE 1.6.0_26 and earlier.
DO NOT install JRE 6 Update 27 (JRE 1.6.0_27) or later and JRE 7 on
NetWorker setups configured with version 7.6.2 or earlier.

  Fix for NetWorker 7.6.2.5 release is available as part of NW 7.6.2.5
Build 681 release. Upgrade to NetWorker Cumulative 7.6.2.5Build 681.
Refer to the NW 7.6 cumulative pdf document available on powerlink at
https://support.emc.com/products/NetWorker.aspx

  Until support for NetWorker 7.5.x is released, setups should revert to
the supported Java version by performiing a clean uninstall of the
unsupported Java version and re-installing the supported JRE version.

  The fix for NetWorker 7.5.x will be available in the next cumulative
release and the ETA will be updated when the NW 7.5.x is ready.

Regards, Riku
[That brings up another note - If you have no Java installed, going to the 
initial NMC website should present you with a link to its 'preferred' version, 
that was part of the GST install.  Or is this specific to Sun EBS?]

I hate to write this stuff to a mailing list, but this is the right

moment:

" ME TOO"


Hey, everybody does it, every now and again. :-)

Uninstalling Update 29, and installing Update 26 (which luckily we still
had downloaded, since you can only find Update 29 on the Java website
(easily, anyway)).

And now NMC is back to working.

Let the joy and happiness resume! LOL
