Re: [Veritas-bu] NBU 6.5.3 Windows Java GUI for the Admin Console

Bob, I have to disagree with you, for
once. You can only use the java version with that same major revision;
it is not backwards compatible to other revision levels (6.5 is not backwards
compatible to 6.0 or lower, etc.). The java client is forward and backwards
compatible within the same major revision - for the most part, there are
things that may not work/populate if the Master is at a higher level than
the Java client. I made this suggestion for backwards compatibility at
the users forum, but it didn't sound like there would be much work put
into it as the new user interface will take care of this.
As stated, installing them to separate
directories does the trick when multiple java versions/patch levels are
needed on the same workstation.
If you are not able to change the install
directory, edit this key in the registry to contain the path that you want
to install to:
HKLM\Software\VERITAS\NetBackup
- java (NB-Java)\InstallPath

IME, all patch/MP versions are backwards compatible within that major
version (5.1, 6.0, 6.5). It's possible, even likely, that each major
version understands the previous versions so that you could use, say, a
6.5 jdc to admin your 6.5 master and a 6.0 and a 5.x media server.
Install the 6.5.3 patch as recommended and tell us.
When in doubt, you can always install to separate directories
c:\program files\veritas\jav51
c:\program files\veritas\jav60
c:\program files\veritas\jav65
Note: it used to be that you couldn't choose the windows installation
option to change the java admin console installation path if a version
was already installed to the default (c:\program files\veritas?); you'd
have to uninstall that one first. Since then, I install each major
version to its own directory as above.

Can't help you with that.
