The first time you log into the web client on your browser you will be asked for permission to run the applet. This applet is not installed on your machine although it may be cached by your Java Virtual Machine (JVM). You may also need to install the native components of the Dimensions web client.
To access the Log In page you must get the URL from your Dimensions CM administrator.
NOTE
You may need to log in with administrator privileges on your computer to install the (optional) native components of the web client.
If Java applets have been disabled by your Dimensions CM administrator all version management operations for local work areas are disabled, including deliver, update, check in, and check-out. Operations on remote work areas will work normally, except for update from stream and merge.
To access the web client:
Start your web browser, and type the URL for the Dimensions CM Log In page.
http://hostname:port/dimensions/
hostname is the Dimensions CM web server and port is the web server port number.
You are prompted to allow the web client applet to run each time you open the URL. Click Yes to allow the applet to run.
To install the native components of the web client:
This will only be necessary if this is the first time that a new version of web client is accessed this machine.
Click the native components link and follow the instructions on the How to install the native components page.
You may not have privileges to install the native components, in which case see your system administrator.
If prompted, restart your browser to complete the installation.
NOTE If you are using a Linux client you will need the UNIX utility "diff3" to be installed for automatic merge to function. For details see the Installation Guide for UNIX Systems.
