Updating Console.jnlp

[Eugene_van_Heer]

I need some assistance please on how to update the Console.jnlp please:

The problem:
We are running XMC 8.3.2.11 on a Windows Server 2012R2 as a Virtual Machine (Hyper-V).
I am accessing the legacy console via a Windows 10 Machine using Java 8 Update 271

When I try to launch the console from the Web link, it stops at Loading Cache (whether I disable cach in the Java app on my laptop or not).

This is the output of the Java Console:

But when I save the Console.jnlp to my laptop and then edit it and change the following line, and then launch from that saved file, then it loads fine. (Doubling memory to 2048)

       <resources os="Windows">
            <j2se href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se"
                   version="1.8+"
                   java-vm-args="-Xmx2048m"
               />
    </resources>

How do I update the console.jnlp on the server itself so that any machine can load it directly without having to save and edit the jnlp file?

[Eugene_van_Heer]

Thank you for the reply.  I will try that (after the required c.y.a. backup naturally).

Sad that the legacy Java Console about to disappear when we upgrade.
I find the console does certain things a bit easier than the Web interface. (Progress I guess.  “This motorized carriage will never replace horses”)

Eugene,

FYI as from XMC 8.5 there is no more java client. Only the web GUI is available.

All the options & features have been migrated in.

I’m not sure you’ll be able to adapt this but you can try to find the jnlp.

Try “find / | grep .jnlp” on XMC but perform a backup before modifying any files.
