Software Management

The following notes are for installation and removal of software using the Software Management module of the Netra j 3.0 administration interface.

Software Installation

When the Software Management module of the Netra j 3.0 administration interface is used to install software patches, packages, or clusters, it notifies the web browser to reload the status page every 30 seconds during the process. If your browser does not appear to be reloading the page automatically, clicking on the reload button of the web browser achieves the same effect.

Software Removal

When the Netra j 3.0 Software Management module is used to remove software from the system, the Sun WebServer may time out. This results in one of the following error message from the browser.

For HotJava Browser:

Exception: java.net.SocketException

For Netscape Navigator:

500 server error

If this error occurs, make sure that the software component (package, patch, or cluster) was fully removed. The removal process may continue to run in the background after the browser returns with an error.

Make sure you remove software components one at a time, or use other utilities to remove these components.
