IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3

Browser clients

Configuration for browser clients involves the following steps.

If you are using V6.3 of the Tivoli® Enterprise Portal browser client, see Browser plug-in support for Java applets.

Installing and configuring IBM Java 7
When the browser client connects to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server, it downloads a Java applet. Java applets that run in a browser environment use Java plug-in technology. The applet plug-in must be registered with the browser to establish and initialize an appropriate Java runtime environment for the applet to execute in.

On Linux and UNIX, the plug-in must be manually registered with the browsers; on Windows, the Java installer automatically registers the associated Java plug-in with both Internet Explorer and Firefox. After installation, a plug-in can be de-registered from a given browser selectively using the Java control panel (see Removing the Java plug-in on Windows, Removing the Java plug-in on Linux).

Depending on which Java release you are using to run the Tivoli Enterprise Portal applet, you might need to specify additional runtime parameters for the Java plug-in.

If you are using Internet Explorer under Windows, you must complete an additional step to use the Oracle JRE:

Identifying the version of the Oracle JRE the client should use

Conflicts in plug-in registration can sometimes occur if both IBM and Oracle JREs are installed on Windows. You can resolve such problems by de-registering the plug-in in the browsers:

Tip: To open a workspace in a new tab using either Firefox or Internet Explorer, press Shift+Ctrl while selecting the workspace. This always opens a new tab whether or not your browser is set to reuse existing tabs.
