Mitel MCD back ups failing since Java 7.55 update

[ehecatl72]

Hello,

I cannot back up Mitel MCD 4.2 with new Java 7.55. I cannot back up MCD 5.0 to 6.0 with Java 7.55 without making exceptions in Java security. Has anyone experiencing this and do you have a work around.

Technology is going to kill us all!

I have a vmware workstation virtual machine ( i have a couple with different IE versions and java)

for older mitels i use IE7 via this virtual machine

If I never did anything I'd never done before , I'd never do anything.....

Adding exceptions is the "right" way to do it. I believe you can wildcard them as well, so you could add exceptions for 10.*.*.*, 192.168.*.*, and 172.16.*.*, which covers most RFC1918 compliant networks that you'd ever run into. Then you'd just have to add exceptions for any public-facing addresses. It will be interesting to see what happens once Java 8 comes out.

Another option would be to run an FTP server package on your PC, set the "External FTP Server" credentials to match that, and back up to the FTP server running on the PC instead.

I tried this and it failed on the backup file name being too long. Using Filezilla. Could never find a way to shorten it...

I think that ever 15 seconds someone dies in the world or a java update screws things up.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Anyone else and you need to throw it harder.
