Microsoft JVM - Sun JVM

Our company is planning to remove the Microsoft JVM from all machines. We are not yet prepared to upgrade TeamSite from 5.5.2 to 6.0. What will happen to our customers using TeamSite WebDesk if the MS JVM is removed from their machines and is there anything that we can do, any customizations to TeamSite that would help us get by until we upgrade to 6.0?

I'd suggest you work very closely with Interwoven Support *before* you do this.

The other option is just to try it and see what breaks. :-)

Yeah I agree that should be the first step...remove on one machine and see the new behaviour...and then come back to Devnet with the issues...

I agree with Adam, that checking with support first is a good idea.

I had to change one users JVM in IE 6 from Sun Java to Microsoft JVM.

The user had a strange problem. If they left Teamsite open and their Novell locked screensaver kicked in it would break their ability to import files.( I changed his browser to use the Microsoft JVM instead of the Sun JVM and it worked. Haven't heard from him since.

User has Windows 2000 Pro, we are using Teamsite 6)

So, I would be carefull. You may need it.

It's not supported in 5.5 or 6.0, however a lot of people
have used it with no trouble (search devnet for details
of problems.)

Also, sometimes the plug-in install doesn't work properly
and this gets (incorrectly) reported as an TeamSite bug...

If you're committed to doing it anyways, I'd suggest -

- Talk to Support
- Don't remove the MSJVM, in case you want to fall back
- If you're using TeamSite 5.5, get the latest service pack, or at least >= SP3
- Do a trial roll-out of a subset of your user base
- JVM 1.4.x is better than 1.3.x

TS 5.5.2 SP3 on Win2K

Some of our users (mostly using XP with IE 6 SP1) used Sun JVM 1.3 and had problems.
They are using webdesk mode.
The problems are in import file, approve task areas.
When a user working on a task clicks on 'Approve' button, the GUI just hangs with the 'Approve' and 'Reject' disappearing.
So be careful while switching to Sun JVM.

I wonder if we can come up with a list of all the Interwoven components that use the JVM and could have problems with Sun (that's kindof funny - that Java code would work with the M$ JVM but NOT the Sun JVM)? LaunchPad/import/download, CCI URLs (such as transitiontask) which seem to use the JVM for who-knows-what, source diff, etc.
