Easy way for users to upgrade their standalone Java consoles?

@tigger2 

The best method is to use the netx program to login to the java console. It keeps the console in sync with the commserve version

Uninstall the Java console and use Command Center. 😇

I’m trying to get used to it, and am slowly moving some things we do to it, but all our docs and training internal stuff is based on the java console :)

That URL helped me with “probably what i need to set up” which is a console on the webserver (to then download the files, etc) as the netx solution appears not to work unless you have the console installed on the webserver (which we do not, I guess, and netx fails and throws an error referencing a URL pointing to the web server, which does not exist). 

I read a lot from there and did some digging and I found that another documented solution is using the Java UI, and then going to Support [tab]→ Check for updates…. is supposed to detect differences and download and install updates…. and it tries and fails to find any updates on the commserve! (though they are installed on the comserve).  A few more attempts to solve this aaaand…

it appears the current solution (which worked) is to: Open the java Console shortcut “as administrator” (even though we are admins on our desktops, and are signing into the console with our CV admin accounts). This then launches the UI and … the pop up now indicates the console needs updating, and then has the old/original? ‘do you want to update it now?” button/question instead of saying ‘it needs updates. so you go do that”. pressing “yes” on the pop up and it auto downloads and updates.
