NX9 Documentation Searching
NX9 Documentation Searching
(OP)
I recently updated to Java "Version 7 Update 45" and now I can't search the NX 9 documentation.
I get the following ... The search cannot be loaded. The Java plugin is required to run the search. See http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
Any idea's to get around this ?

RE: NX9 Documentation Searching
Every new update of Java breaks the fix and they have to be recreated. Very annoying I must say.

Use IIS (Internet Information Services) in Windows and serve the docs as web sites.
Doesn't matter what version of Java you have, the search works.
Also fixed my issue with Firefox that F1 or On Context Help would only ever go to the top page of the docs.
I'm not an IIS expert and it takes a bit of setting up, so I made a powerpoint (see attached) for those interested.

However, in the IIS manager, if I change to contents view, browse to the index.html file under nx_help, then click browse, it will show the NX help page with the address of "http://localhost:8080/NX9DOCS/nx_help/#uid:index". I can browse the help documentation, but the search function doesn't work. It just states no search terms found. Is there some issue with java?

http://vimeo.com/91380605 is the link to the video.
It goes for a while, because there are other things to consider, but the Java fix is in there.
The update45 patch in the video will work for Java 7 Update 65 (I have tested and can confirm it will work).

RE: NX9 Documentation Searching
For NX9, the following variables are what I have set. Ignore the ${AMG_NX_DOCS_DIR} as that's a variable I use for a custom docs location.
The start of the values will need to be changed to suit where you have the docs installed.
UGII_UGDOC_BASE_DIR=${AMG_NX_DOCS_DIR}\NX9\UGDOC\html_files\nx_help
UGII_UGDOC=${AMG_NX_DOCS_DIR}\NX9\UGDOC\html_files\nx_help\index.html
UGII_HTML_UGDOC=${AMG_NX_DOCS_DIR}\NX9\UGDOC\html_files\nx_help\index.html
UGII_CSHELP_DOCS=${AMG_NX_DOCS_DIR}\NX9\UGDOC\html_files
UGII_CSHELP_MAPS=${UGII_ROOT_DIR}\docmaps

RE: NX9 Documentation Searching
and for NX users that have the documentation installed on a server, which is the best solution ?
Install IIS on the server where reside the documentation ?
Thank you...
