If the SHARE Singalong were still running in high gear, we could write an anti-romantic ballad about the despair of 'Java compatibility'. I would suggest that each new Java release contains antibodies to all previous releases and--of course--to all future releases. The love doctor will advise that you get off of Java, but unfortunately that means getting off the (modern) world altogether. Prepare to live in perpetual discontent.

One thing I noticed that I don't care for is that once you upgrade the HMC to 2.13.0 for the JAVA 8 support, accessing it from machines with JAVA 6 or 7 no longer works. That really surprised me, because I always thought there was downward compatibility. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Engineering [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Field, Alan Sent: Thursday, October 29, 2015 4:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HMC/Browser access and JAVA Another Data Processing mystery. I upgraded to JAVA 8.65 and it still didn't work. I did nothing but wait a few days and a few PC restarts later ... I tried again today and lo and behold 3270 and operating system messages are working.

It is a JAVA problem. I had been running JAVA V7.21 but it won't reinstall properly again. I have JAVA 8.60 installed and it doesn't start either of the functions. My HMC microcode is at a high level - it is supposed to support Java V8. Any suggestions?
