Sun Java and MS VM Conflict

 

Issue:

MS Java Virtual Machine is required to write WebFOCUS reports until Summer 2007 but I have to use Sun Java Virtual Machine for another application (Banner Admin).  Since I can’t run both  what should I do?

 

Solution:

To Toggle Between Sun JVM and MS JVM with Internet Explorer:

1. Click on Tools > Internet Options
2. Click on the Advanced Tab
   
   Scroll down until you see you'll see Java (Sun) and Microsoft VM.  Only one of those two should be checked at any given time.
   
   
   
   
3. If accessing Banner Admin, use the Sun Java by checking the box under 'Java (Sun)' labeled 'Use JRE...' or 'Use Java...' (the exact text will depend on which version of Sun Java is installed).
4. If writing WebFOCUS Reports, use the Microsoft Java by checking the box under 'Microsoft VM' labeled 'JIT compiler for virtual machine enabled'
5. Click on Apply
6. You may need to restart IE for the change to take effect
