Wrkarund fr script running slwly - brwser issue 2011 Avaya Inc Rev: 1.0 (24 th June 2011) Page 4 f 6
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 http://supprt.micrsft.cm/kb/175500 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 (Wi00886425) 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 (WI00897552) COM SMLT and VSN wizards supprt telnet nly (WI00864427) 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. (WI00889676) 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
uninstall and run the install again r use a CND db recver cmmand. T recver the CND db, pen a cmmand windw t the directry C:\Prgram Files\Nrtel\Cmmn Netwrk Directry (windws) r /pt/nrtel/cnd/ (linux). Run the cmmand db_recver h data If the tl runs withut any errrs, start the Nrtel CND service manually and ensure that the windws service s startup type is autmatic (Wi00891759) Cpyright 2011 Avaya Inc The infrmatin in this dcument is subject t change withut ntice.
