Notes for the WorkFlows Java Client Installation and Update for Macintosh Systems
Before you begin to install or update to the SirsiDynix Symphony 3.4 WorkFlows Java client on a Macintosh system, make sure the following requirements specific to the Macintosh system are met.
|
•
|
For version 3.4, Macintosh clients require Java 1.6—which also requires a 64 bit machine, with Dual Core. |
Note: Macintosh workstations support Java 1.6 only on 64 Bit, Dual Core, running Leopard OSX 10.5, Update 2 or higher. For Macs that do not meet these requirements, users can run the SirsiDynix Symphony 3.2.1 WorkFlows Java client, which requires Java 1.5 rather than Java 1.6, against the SirsiDynix Symphony 3.3. server. Please go to the client/server specifications for SirsiDynix Symphony 3.2.1 for details on Mac hardware specifications. While SirsiDynix has tested the Mac 3.2.1 WorkFlows Java Client against SirsiDynix Symphony 3.3, SirsiDynix strongly recommends that sites using Macs that upgrade to Symphony 3.3 make plans to upgrade to the 3.3 version of the Workflows Java client in order to take advantage of new capabilities and corrections and to ensure optimal support.
