Running the TES Java Client
You can run the Cisco TES 6.2 Java client as an application on your system, as well as via a web browser.
Running the Java Client as a System Application
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be met to run the Java client as a system application:
- Java client Host machine must be in DNS/NIS+ domain.
- Java client Host machine must be allowed to connect to port 6215 of Scheduler's host.
- Scheduler's master.props must have valid LDAP/AD configuration.
To run the Java client as an application on your system:
Step 1 Launch the Java client that you have installed. The Login screen displays.
Step 2 Enter the following details:
- Server— The scheduler’s hostname
- User— AD/LDAP user name
- Password—AD/LDAP password
Step 3 Click Connect.
The Java client application window displays.
Note The logs and help folders are created in your temp folder. You can view them by clicking View > Client Logs.
Note Startup scripts of the Java client can be optionally modified to add jvm arguments for optimal performance.
Running the Java Client Via a Web Browser
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be met to run the Java client via a web browser:
- By default, scheduler will run a webserver at port 8080. The Java client host must be allowed to access a configured port on scheduler's host machine.
- On Windows, only Internet Explorer 64-bit (c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe) is capable of running 64-bit Java7. Only 64-bit Java7 will support 8GB memory requirements.
- For all operating systems and browsers, you must enable Java content in the Java Control Panel.
Note Confirm that browser's security settings allow running Java applets.

Java Control Panel
To run the Java client via a web browser:
Step 1 Open a TES-supported web browser and enter the following URL:
http://master's hostname:8080/tesclient
where master's hostname is the hostname of TES.
Step 2 Click Launch Enterprise Scheduler.
Step 3 Click Run to allow execution of the Java client.
The Java client is launched.
If the version of Java client does not match what has been installed on the master, remove all temporary Java files using options available in the General tab of the Java Control Panel.
Uninstalling the TES Java Client
The Java client applications that are installed on Windows systems can be uninstalled from the Control Panel.
For UNIX systems, use install.bin -r to uninstall the Java client.
Note If you face issues removing the software, inspect and cleanup the.com.zerog.registry.xml file, located under the user’s home directory (for Unix), or at c:\Program Files\Zero G Registry (for Windows).
