Client JREs


Client JREs are listed as either Active or Compatible; all other versions are not supported. The versions denoted as Active are those currently fully tested for the specified release.

Although JRE versions denoted as Compatible might also be tested, this testing may be limited or support may be based on backward-compatibility statements. Older versions of JRE versions may transition over time from Active to Compatible as new releases become available.

While all Active and Compatible versions are supported, non-Active versions may impact resolution times. In the unlikely event that a JRE issue does arise on a Compatible version, resolution may require upgrade to an Active version.

The updated Client JREs list is as follows:

NOTES:

ý         Daylight Saving Time (DST): To support the US DST changes that took place in 2007, the JRE versions 1.4.2_11 and above or 1.5.0_6 and above are required.

·         Static Versioning: Static Versioning started with JRE 5.0 update 6. If you install JRE 5.0 update 6 or above on the client computers, all applets are forced to use this version of the JRE; the usage of clsids to launch specific versions of the JRE (Static Versioning) is disabled. With JRE 5.0 update 6, on the Windows platform, any requests from any applet to execute with an earlier JRE version are automatically redirected to JRE 5.0 update 6. If any software on the client workstation requires the use of other JRE versions, this feature may prevent those applets from executing correctly.

You can override this feature by creating new registry keys on each workstation:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Deployment\Policy]

and creating a new DWORD value:

"EnableSecureStaticVersioning"=dword:00000000

·         Security Baselines: Static Versioning has been replaced with Security Baselines as of JRE 6.0 Update 11. When JRE 6.0 Update 11 and above receives an HTML request to execute a lower version of the JRE, it asks the user whether or not to execute the lower version. If the user selects ‘Run’, the JRE requested is used to execute the applet. If the user selects ‘Cancel’, the latest version of JRE 6.0 Update 11 and above is used to execute the applet.

However, the dialog is not presented to the user when the JRE requested to execute the applet is the latest in the JRE Family. Each JRE Family has a version that serves as the Security Baseline. It is usually the latest JRE released for the family. As later versions of JRE 6.0 are released, the Family Security Baseline changes to the latest JRE of the version family. If the Security Baseline JRE is requested to execute the applet, JRE 6.0 Update 11 and above will not display the dialog. It will allow that version of the JRE to execute the applet. The JRE Families that are compatible with Quality Monitoring are 1.4.2_XX, 1.5.0_XX, 1.6.0_XX, and 1.7.0_XX.

7.            To continue the update, select Yes or OK for any prompts that are displayed. Multiple prompts will be displayed.

The MSI package will detect the current components and start the update. When the update completes, a prompt will display to inform you the server must be restarted.

Microsoft SQL Server:\database\MS SQL Server\Database\Patch
Oracle: \database\Oracle\Schema\Patch

3.            Run the following command file for both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle:

The known issues and workarounds below may have already been corrected in a software update. Please see the latest available Hot Fixes and Patches for this release and the associated Readme or Release Note documents.

 

Issue

Description

Avaya Dialer Certificates are not being deployed by the Installation

To support the PC 5 dialer:

 

1.    Copy files from QM_7.8.3_10.1.2_HF002 to the [install path]\QM folder.

2.    If the site is using only a PC 5 adapter on the QM system, delete the following files from the [install path]\QM folder:

ý         corbaServer_cert.pem

ý         corbaServer_key.pem

ý         ProactiveContactCA.pem

3.    If the site is using both PC4 and PC5 adapters on the same QM system, rename the following files in the [install path]\QM folder:

ý         corbaServer_cert.pem to PC40_corbaServer_cert.pem

ý         corbaServer_key.pem to PC40_corbaServer_key.pem

ý         ProactiveContactCA.pem to PC40_ProactiveContactCA.pem"

ConfigSSLForSearchWin64bit.reg for SSL has incorrect Java and QM installation paths

The file ConfigSSLForSearchWin64bit.reg was not updated with the correct Java and QM paths during the upgrade to Hotfix Rollup 2. Complete the following procedure to correct this problem for installation on Windows Server 2008 64-bit systems:

 

1.    Navigate to: <QM Install Directory>\Witness\QM\CAUtility

2.    Using a text editor such as Notepad, open the following file: ConfigSSLForSearchWin64bit.reg.

3.    Locate the tag <JAVA_PATH>.

4.    Update the tagýs path to the JRE used for the QM installation.

For example, if you were using JRE 1.6.0_18 the path could be:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre1.6.0_18

NOTE: Be sure to include double backslashes before each directory name.

5.    Locate the following tag: <WITNESS_ROOT_INSTALL_PATH>, which contains the path to the QM installation directory.

For example if QM was installed in ýC:\Program Files (x86)\Witness\QMý,
the new value for the tag would be:
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Witness\\QM\\

NOTE
: Be sure to include double backslashes before each directory name.

6.    After the corrections are completed, save the updated file.

7.    Double click ConfigSSLForSearchWin64bit.reg to add the correct settings to the Windows Registry.
