[HOWTO] Cloverleaf 5.8 Client on Mac OS X 10.6

[Carter Harrison]

I’m a big time Mac user – in fact I pretty much despise Windows.

Topic

[Dirk Engels]

Carter,

first I’d want to say thank you for the great guide to create a Cloverleaf client for my Mac. I really love it.

I’m working with Cloverleaf 5.8 and everything works well in my new Mac client, except the fact, that I miss the new encoding config boxes in all guis (Thread Properties, Testing Tool and SMAT).

I have copied all jar files from version 5.8, so I’m wondering why it isn’t there. Do you have these boxes in your Mac client?

Unfortunatly we have the damn special chars here in Germany, so I need to change the encoding to see a message correctly.

Dirk 😛

[Carter Harrison]

Dirk – I have been told this before and I am missing the encoding drop downs as well.  I haven’t had the time to investigate it yet but if I find the answer I’ll update my HOWTO guide.

[Boris Perov]

Carter, you’re my new hero!

That being said, NetMonitor and NetConfig load very slowly.  Any way to address that?  I built it using Java 1.5+.  Should I have used a different version???  Should I just log off and have a beer, as you suggested?

Thanks,

Boris

[Carter Harrison]

NetMonitor and NetConfig loading slowly don’t appear to be an issue specific to OS X.  I do experience that issue from time to time on my Mac but my colleagues who are running the Windows IDE also experience the issue very frequently.  If you search the forums you will see other cases where people have the same problem.

The beer might help though.

[Carson Nguyen]

Is there anyone who has successfully completed this and can offer a helping hand?  Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Carson

[Carter Harrison]

Carson,

In the PM you sent me, you said you would attempt to launch the Cloverleaf app but then nothing would happen.

[Carson Nguyen]

Thanks for the prompt reply and information, Carter!  I will try those additional troubleshooting steps when I get back home and will let you know.  

Happy Friday,

Carson

One and All,

Why not create a request to add MAC to the supported client platforms

for the IDE software?  You can do this on INFOR’s web site.

I have created several enhancement requests this way and some of them have been included in patches and the new 6.0.1 Integrator as well.

Personally I am sick of Windows and plan on junking my personal computer for a MAC once it dies (which should not be long).

Back to the create an INFOR Case:  certainly include what you have done and any shortcomings like the drop down encoding lists.

Good luck, good hunting!

[Carson Nguyen]

Bob,

Would you mind posting a direct link to the suggestions/enhancement requests area of Infor’s website?

Thanks,

Carson

Greetings,

INFOR support website is at:https://www.inforxtreme.com

However, you should contact your company’s designated account administrator to setup the registration process.  This is the route we had used.  We decided to set up our account with a group email distribution list as the account name so that all of us would be able to create and view incidents, requests, for our account.

Otherwise if you set up an individual account, only you can see incidents, cases, etc. and no one else in your support group!!

Here is their login display page contents for registering: (I just typed

these lines):

Yep – you missed step #8 in my instructions.  You should see a line in INFO.plist that references the HCIROOT environment variable.

Ya but make sure you append it to the right portion.. I posted my entire Info.plist file for you so hopefully that will serve as a guide for you.

[Carson Nguyen]

Thanks, Carter.

I’ll give it a whirl.

Do me a favor and try replacing your Info.plist with the one I included earlier in the thread.  Give it a go and let me know if that works.

OS X doesn’t actually respect that JVM setting.  Trust me, you don’t have JVM 1.5 installed on your Mac anyway.  The system will automatically default to the most recent JVM installed on your Mac.

Carter,

It worked like a charm.  Thanks for the extra help.

I owe you a cold one.  😀
