AR# 6559
V2.1i COREGEN: "ERROR: Could not locate specified browser /usr/local/bin/acroread" / Cannot launch Web browser & Acroread from COREGEN on HP
Description
COREGEN cannot launch user's Web browser (neither Netscape nor Internet Explorer) from the CoreGen GUI.
The following error is reported on the browser:
"ERROR: Could not locate specified browser /home/username/temp/bin/iexplorer"
For Acroread :
"ERROR: Could not locate specified browser /usr/local/bin/acroread"
The errors are reported even though the reported paths are correct for the browser and PDF viewer applications.
The problem is due to a problem on HP with the exec command and a memory handling limitation on HP systems associated with the HP version of JAVA. It typically appears when the system is overloaded with too many users and/or jobs.
Solution
To avoid this problem, try to limit the number of users and/or jobs on an HP system.
