OA49035: BREEZE NOT WORKING WITH GOOGLE CHROME VERSION 45 OR HIGHER.

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• This APAR applies only to Breeze users running Chrome version 45
  or higher. It does not apply to users running Breeze in
  Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, or any other browser that
  supports Java.
  
  As of 1 September 2015, Chrome version 45 no longer supports
  NPAPI plugins like Java. As such, Breeze will no longer execute
  in a Chrome browser without the additional step of installing a
  Chrome extension, which does provide for Java support.
  Therefore, users accessing Breeze via Chrome are now required to
  install the Chrome extension ?IE Tab? to run Breeze in the
  Chrome browser.
  
  Here are the steps required to install the ?IE Tab? extension in
  the Chrome browser.
  
  Step 1: Go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore and do a search
  on ?IE Tab?.
  
  Step 2: Click on the radio button ?Extensions?. The ?IE Tab?
  extension will be displayed at the top of the list.
  
  Step 3: Click on ?+ ADD TO CHROME?. The ?IE Tab? extension will
  be installed. Once installed, the ?IE Tab? icon will appear as
  an icon to the right of the Chrome address bar.
  
  To run Breeze, click on the ?IE Tab? icon to the right of the
  Chrome address bar, and then enter the Breeze server URL in the
  ?IE Tab? address bar, which appears just below the Chrome
  address bar.
  
  Note:
  
  This APAR applies only to Chrome users. If your site does not
  wish to install the aforementioned ?IE Tab? extension or a
  different extension that supports Java, then Breeze will need to
  accessed from an alternative browser that does provide for Java
  support, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari. Review
