Pinned topic ISA 5 Beta 3 issues with GCMV and MA tools

Hi Joe,

I reproduced this problem using GCMV 2.7 desktop edition with ISA 5 Beta 3. Both ISA and GCMV were running on the same RedHat Linux 5.9 system. I opened a defect to investigate the problem.

Hi Joe,

This problem is the same as one described in the ISA 5 Beta 2 release notes. The description of the workaround was removed from the Beta 3 release notes because the problem was identified as specific only to 32-bit. I've asked that the online version of the Beta 3 release notes be updated to include the instructions.

Here's the description and solution that should solve the problem you reported.

  Launching the desktop versions of Health Center, Memory Analyzer and Garbage
  Collection and Memory Visualizer (GCMV) on a Linux system must be done
  from the command line.  Before launching from the command line the following
  system property must be set:
 
  JAVAWS_VM_ARGS=-Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
 
  Once the JAVAWS_VM_ARGS property is set the desktop tool may be launched using
  the javaws command from a 1.6+ JRE.
 
  To launch Health Center:
  javaws https://<host>:<port>/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.jws/launch.jnlp
 
  To launch Memory Analyzer:
  javaws https://<host>:<port>/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.memory.analyzer.jws/launch.jnlp
 
  To launch Garbage Collection and Memory Visualizer (GCMV)
  javaws https://<host>:<port>/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.visualizer.jws/launch.jnlp

Note that the protocol is https and that the default port number is 10943.

Note also that if you're running the tools on a Linux desktop you need to set the DISPLAY environment variable (e.g., 'export DISPLAY=:1').

Hi Joao,

I corrected a typo in the instructions and made some other slight modifications related to Beta 3's support for https. Here's an example for the GCMV desktop tool running on a Linux system with ISA 5 Beta 3 running on a host named 'isaserver' with a default configuration.

javaws https://isaserver:10943/com.ibm.java.diagnostics.visualizer.jws/launch.jnlp

Now, it is working. I don't need to export DISPLAY variable in Red Hat Linux 6.4, maybe it is already done in default profile.

Thanks very much for your help.
