Re: Macs and Client Solutions

My Mac is completely up-to-date and also runs ACS with no issues.

After the last OS update I did have to go through a process to update the Java. That was discussed here on the list and also the information was on IBM's ACS site I think.

But as others have said, Java is not Javascript so I'm a bit confused by you statements.

Also ACS doesn't run in a browser so nothing done in Safari would affect anything.

If Safari is the issue then load Chrome on the Macs - that's what I use as my primary browser anyway.

I would also look to Lega-Suite support and ask them what the solution is. One thing I can pretty much 100% guarantee is that loading Windows (which means loading Paralllels or something equivalent first) will not be an easy or cheap solution, will boost your maintenance issues and - more importantly - is a complete waste of time and energy as there have to be easy solution - like manually installing the correct Java version!

Frankly I suspect your tech folks don't know much about Macs because this is nonsense.

My technical team is tell me that the Macs at our company performed an update yesterday that in effect disables the use of Java on the computer. Originally the Mac users were using a Java script in Safari to access a GUI presentation (Lega-Suite GUI Java Client) of the JD Edwards application. I forwarded the Mac install directory of the Client Solutions but they are telling me that Java will not run native on the Mac any more due to a squabble between Apple and Oracle. I have no experience on using a Mac so I am having to rely on them. Of course using Client Solutions will still force the users to work on a text based screen instead of the GUI window but the only alternative that the technical team has to offer is installing a copy of Windows on the Mac and using IE to access the GUI Screens.
