Setting & Restoring Profiles, JRE Interactions Explained.
From time to time it this journal we'll try to fill
in some missing blanks about how eValid runs, how to
get the most out of the technology, and pass on some
simple "tips and tricks".
- Setting & Restoring Profiles
The eValid engine has on the order of 125 different settings
and switches that affect how the underlying test engine
records, plays, searches, and synchronizes.
Yes, we know, it sometimes can be painful to keep track
of what you've set, and what option you've chosen.
We admit it can be daunting.
Presto, the solution is simple:
use the eValid facility for
Setting and Restoring Profiles
that keep track of
a current group of settings and, probably just as important,
let you recover a prior group.
(That is, of course, provided you saved them.
We don't have a way of automatically reading your mind
to remember the settings you chose earlier.)
- JRE Installation Issues
eValid uses Java Applets in a couple of key places:
The
3D-SiteMap
shows dependency relations
between and among pages that have been scanned and analyzed
by the site analysis function, and the
Performance Charts
display numeric data form the various eValid log files.
As you know, Java Applets require a working Java Runtime Environment
(JRE) to work correctly.
Most of the time (depending on your operating system) the
built-in Microsoft VM will be enabled, and you'll have no
problem. But if you see a blank screen where you are supposed
to see something else, or if you see a message like "Object
doesn't support this property of method," then you have to
equip your machine with the latest JRE from Sun.
It's easy enough to do.
To get the latest JRE you simply Click on
JRE Download Instructions and follow
the instructions there.
Once done -- or if you just want to know which JRE you have --
you can
Verify The Java JRE Version installed
on your machine.
Once done your 3D-SiteMap and Performance Charts will awaken!
