Re: GUI Jwalk to Legasutie upgrade issues, URL caching, IE 11 compatibility issues

Hi, Paul.

I haven't used IE for anything except testing compatibility for years.
But, if you're having these issues it sounds like something you should
bring up with the vendor.

It could be a case where they simply aren't updating their product to stay
current (or your versioning is old and needs an update).

I've never seen the type of issues you're having and to me that throws up a
huge red flag. If you have support, contact the vendor(s).

We are in the process of upgrading from Jwalk42C6 to Legasuite 753.
Also upgrading Netcracker ICOMS from 827 to 8301.

Some interesting issues found while testing upgrades.

We currently use a URL for our Jwalk ICOMS 827 app.
While testing both the Legasuite and ICOMS upgrades we discovered the
following.

If using an IP instead of the URL, Jwalk with IE 11 would not load, user
had to manually add a compatibility setting.
If using the URL, Jwalk42C6 with IE 11 would auto sense and switch to
compatibility mode, (can be seen with F12, document mode 7) no user
intervention.
We're not sure of the reason for differences.

Legasuite runs fine with URL or IP, no compatibility mode needed.

The other issue is an IE caching issue.
IE 11 is caching the Jwalk URL, pages, etc.
After shutting down the Jwalk HTTP instance, starting the Legasuite HTTP
Instance, then using the same URL, Legasuite would start to load, then
fail, with references to Jwalk objects, etc.

We found that the IE 11 cache needed to be cleared in order to use the
same URL launching Legasuite.

We currently do not auto clear our cache.
Rocket support sent a link on various ways of auto clearing cache.

Any others have similar issues and/or any thoughts from the group?
