TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE NEEDED FOR THESE SYSTEMS
Sun Java Plug-in version for MS Windows
Before PC users can log on to the PVL, CHRIS or CHRIS-HR systems for the first time, they will need to install Sun's Java Virtual Machine (JVM) plug-in if not already installed. Once installed as the default JVM for the web browser, the browser will use it as necessary for these applications and any other Java applications or applets from this site or any other site on the Internet. For installation, Java Runtime Environment updates can be downloaded from http://www.java.com/en/ or can be installed through the Java automatic update client (please use the verification at that site to see if you already have Java installed).
NOTE to Kronos users: Kronos requires a special version of Java to be installed on a users machines. That version will be compatible with the OHR applications (CHRIS, CHRIS-HR and PVL) so there is no need to install another version. However, to avoid any compatibility problems between Kronos and websites using Java, use a different browser (not just a different browser window) for Kronos than used for other systems. Using different browsers is the only way to use different Java versions simultaneously.
NOTE: After installation, be sure to CLOSE ALL BROWSER WINDOWS before opening the browser again to go to the CHRIS, PVL, or CHRIS-HR URL!!!
Mac Runtime for Java (MRJ) 2.2.5, for OS 8, OS 9
Before Mac users running Operating Systems OS 8 and OS 9 can logon to PVL, CHRIS or E-PD systems for the first time, MRJ 2.2.5 must be installed on their computers. After installation, the web browsers will use this new Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to execute the applications. For installation, please follow the instructions.
NOTE: The above MRJ does not apply to Mac OS X operating system. OS X installs with the most current JVM.
