5 COM uses java script technlgy which executes scripts n the client brwser. Hwever, fr large cnfiguratins, the script may take lnger t execute and may be seen by the brwser as a lp that may need t be terminated by the user. This issue is mre prnunced in IE. If such an issue is encuntered, yu will see pp-ups asking whether yu want t terminate the script. Yu can select N (In IE) and Cntinue (in FF) t ignre this pp-up r yu may permanently change the time after which the pp-up is seen (r disable it cmpletely). T change yur brwser settings, use the fllwing instructins: Fr Firefx: Type abut:cnfig in the address bar and filter fr the string dm.max_script_run_time. The default setting is 20 (secnds), add sme mre time, raise it t 40 fr instance. Fr Internet Explrer: Using a Registry Editr such as Regedt32.exe, pen this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sftware\Micrsft\Internet Explrer\Styles Nte If the Styles key is nt present; create a new key that is called Styles. Create a new DWORD value called "MaxScriptStatements" under this key and set the value t the desired number f script statements. If yu are unsure f what value yu need t set this t, yu can set it t a DWORD value f 0xFFFFFFFF t cmpletely avid the dialg. By default the key desn't exist. If the key has nt been added, the default threshld limit fr the time-ut dialg bx is 5,000,000 statements fr Internet Explrer 4 and later. Mre infrmatin is available at 7. Deplyment Recmmendatins T circumvent sme f the knwn issues, the fllwing recmmendatins shuld be adhered t: The new Save Tplgy acrss Discvery ptin wrks well fr fairly static netwrks. If yur netwrk changes a lt r yu use COM in lab setups, it is recmmended t disable this ptin in the Discvery preferences. Yu can als clear the saved tplgy layut by using the Clear tplgy buttn n the Tplgy page. After applying a new license t COM (fr example: nde cunt upgrade license), the user needs t lg ut and lg back in fr the license t take effect fr that sessin. When running COM and VPFM n the same server, the trap and syslg prts will cnflict. This can be reslved by changing the prts fr VPFM under the Tls - Trap & Syslg Brwser sectin. G t the Traps/Syslgs tabs, click n settings buttn and change the listener prt. Fr COM, this can be changed in the Preferences - General tab in the Admin panel. Alternatively, VPFM can be used as the trap/syslg receiver and these traps/syslgs be frwarded t COM. The frwarding in VPFM can be setup in the same sectin where the listener prts are changed. 8. Knwn Issues In COM 2.3, these are the knwn issues: Installing JRE after the COM install may cause prblems with uninstall f COM (Wi ) If a device fails ISIS discvery, then the ISIS interface cannt be added in VSN Wizard. Ensure device is reachable and re-run the discvery. After data migratin frm COM 2.2 t COM 2.3, UCM will indicate COM versin is 2.2 even thugh COM will crrectly reprt the versin as 2.3 (WI ) COM SMLT and VSN wizards supprt telnet nly (WI ) Trap/Lg Manager may smetimes fail t discver an ERS8600 v7.1. Try rediscvering r increase SNMP retry and/r timeut preferences t circumvent this issue. (WI ) Install fails in rare cases with errr Security service cannt be started. In these rare cases, the CND database gets crrupted during installatin and the CND service des nt start. T fix the prblem either 2011 Avaya Inc Rev: 1.0 (24 th June 2011) Page 5 f 6
