APPX Desktop Client Installation - Mac OS/XRequirements | ||||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | IMPORTANT: The APPX Desktop Client for OS/X requires Java SE 6. This is included in the Snow Leopard release of OS/X, but not in earlier versions. There are third party versions of this for earlier versions of OS/X, but only for the Intel based Macs. If you are running a PowerPC based Mac, you will not be able to use Release 5 of the APPX Desktop Client. | |||||||
> > | IMPORTANT: Mac Desktops will require Java SE 6. This is included in OS/X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and higher. Older Intel based Macs might be able to use a third party Java runtime but this has not been tested. PowerPC based Macs will not be able to run the APPX Desktop Client at all, since Apple does not provide Java SE 6 for this platform. | |||||||
If you have upgraded your Intel based Mac from an earlier version of OS/X, you must make sure the Java SE 6 is the preferred runtime for Java based applications. This setting can be found in the Java Preferences application (under Applications/Utilities): | ||||||||

Additional Information | |||||||
Changed: | ||||||||
< < | The first time that APPX is run after the APPX Setup Wizard completes, you will need to complete the initial configuration of APPX. | |||||||
> > | When you click the APPX Desktop Client icon, OS/X will either start the program (if it is not running), or take you to the running program (if it is already running). Sometimes you might prefer to open additional sessions to your APPX server. In that case, create an Apple Script with the following lines:
on run
do shell script "open -n /Applications/AppxDesktopClient/AppxDesktopClient.app --args -host=webclass -user=yyyyy -password=xxxxxx -port=8060"
end run
Save this as an Application on your desktop, and every time you double click it, it will create a new session. Also notice you can pass arguments to the ADC by appending them after the '--args' parameter.
To change the default icon to the Appx logo (or any other graphic), follow this procedure:
