Pictures need to be stored in the BOSaNOVA Web directory/folder in the images/viewer directory/folder.

The file name must match exactly what will be displayed on the screen to link to a picture. The file name BOSUSA5 will match the BOSUSA5 system name on my screen below.

When I right click on the text BOSUSA5 and select picture - or you can set the display session to default to just right-click

The behavior is caused by a expired co-signing certificate. We have received a new signed IAIK jar, and tested it with JDK 1.3.

The new release works with IE only, R&D will adjust it for Firefox in a later release.

Type command to start BOSaNOVA web and prompt it (F4). Set change configuration data to *YES - press enter.

It is a known Sun’s bug :

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6358623

To solve the problem we recommend to replace JVM 1.5 with JVM 1.4. Please follow these steps:

Uninstall JVM 1.5 from Add/Remove Programs on customer’s PC.
Install JVM 1.4 from ftp://ftp.fbi.ie/bos/BNW/JRE_SUN/j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe

Most likely the users directories have become corrupt. To repair do the following:

** Please be aware that JDTF only works on V5R4 with BNW version 6.5 and higher **

5. Copy the up-to-date file: \kbmap\admin.kbm to the server root, and rename it to be: default.kbm

Download the zip above, extract files and burn to a CD - install on iSeries using the LODRUN command accepting the defaults.

If BOSaNOVA Web server v5.3X does not start over iSeries V5R3, please follow the steps to analyze the problem:

1. Run BNWLIC, and get the iSeries serial number from it.
2. Run the server in interactive mode:
CHGCURDIR BNWbserver
JAVA CLASS(com.bos.Servers.RunServers) PARM('SN=XXXXXXX') CLASSPATH('./:./servers.zip:./iaik_jce_full.jar:./iaik_ssl.jar:./bsjdvntg.zip')
3. Java version is printed at the Java shell console, is it 1.4.X ?
4. If yes, is the following Java exception printed at the consol:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError...
Caused by: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot set up certs for trusted CAs: java.lang.SecurityException: Cannot verify jar:file
/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk14/lib/security/local_policy.jar!/

If the answers to the above checklist is yes, than to cure the problem do the following:

1. Login to iSeries with QSECOFR
2. Copy local_policy.jar from BNWbserver\ext dir to the location that is specified at the Java console (location might vary from system to system), at the above sample, it's:
/QIBM/ProdData/Java400/jdk14/lib/security/

The PC does not have MS Java installed, which does not come with XP. Need to install program and then you can run the MS Java applet. MS Java download, click here.

HTTP ports are 8080 and 4443 for SSL and 4444 for SSL with certificate. Proxy ports are 3334 and 7773 for SSL.

The command to set the service is:

Mkserv startall.exe

Run it from the BOSaNOVA Web server location

1.Copy the following folders from the old Server's BOSaNOVA Web (Jadvantage) subdirectory and paste them into the new Server's BOSaNOVA Web subdirectory:

2.Copy the following files from the old Server's BOSaNOVA Web root directory and paste them into the new Server's BOSaNOVA Web root directory.

If you find there are some files that don't exist on the old server, don't worry about it, some didn't exist.

I upgraded from V5R2 to V5R3 and now I cannot get BOSaNOVA Web to run?

When upgrading an OS400 V5R2 to i5OS V5R3, the IBM Java environment might not be ready to run the BOSaNOVA Web server. The Java security libraries are not always installed and adapted. To analyze and fix the problem:

On the AS/400 command line type CHGCURDIR followed by the path and directory name where the BOSaNOVA Web server is installed, for example:

Please note that the Parameters field needs to be the serial number of the iSeries where this is being started and all entries are case sensitive.

*NOTE: The Bosanova Web directory is too long for the field. Enter as much of the path as will fit, place your cursor on the last letter; press F10 - complete the path.

IE 7 has issues with certificated created by Jadvantage Versions.

Internet Explorer 7 works with SSL certificates in different way than previous Explorer versions. Although the certificate is legal and up to date in the Server, you may receive a warning error in start up user page. For example:

To resolve the warning message you will have to access the user configuration page:

Choose the SSL option, and follow the steps to install the server certificate locally on user's PC. If you have more then one user, you have to do this process locally on every PC.

After finishing, restart your web browser.

The warning message will disappear and a certificate will be placed in Internet Explorer content options in category Certificates » Trusted Root Certification Authorities.
