When configuring ISIM to talk to ISAM, you have to deploy and configure the Java Run Time. If you get the above exception when issuing the

Teamviewer Alternative - autossh
There is no better remote administration tool for the price (free) than Teamviewer. However, if don't have a GUI on your remote clients or can't install it the teamviewer package, you can get close with autossh. |
