Sun Update Connection Hosted Web Application Bugs

The following section lists the issues that might arise when you use the Sun Update Connection Hosted Web Application:

The Sun Update Connection Hosted Web Browser Application starts a new default browser instead of using the one that is already open. (6263022)

Description: When you click the Manage at Sun Update Connection button, Update Manager opens a new window in your Mozilla^TM 1.7 browser. Your existing browser window is not used. If you are working in Firefox, when you click the Manage at Sun Update Connection button, a new instance of Mozilla 1.7 is opened, instead of the browser you have open.

Cause: Instead of using your existing web browser window, Update Manager starts a new instance of the web browser specified as the default in the /usr/dt/bin/sdtwebclient file.

Workaround: To make Firefox the default browser on your system, edit the /usr/dt/bin/sdtwebclient file. Add the path to firefox in the line that begins with: DEFAULT_BROWSER_LIST. DEFAULT_BROWSER_LIST="location-of-firefox/firefox mozilla netscape sun_netscape netscape6.” Replace location-of-firefox with the firefox command.
Warning: Page has Expired Error Occurs When Using the Internet Explorer Back Button. (6321525)

Description: When you click the browser Back button, you might see the following error: “Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you. To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh button.”

Workaround: To clear the error, follow the instructions to refresh the page. Note that you might not be able to return to the page that you requested and the tab might not be correctly aligned with the page content. Instead of using browser navigation, use the navigational tabs, buttons, and links provided by the web browser application to navigate between pages.
