Yes, I'm on IE 6.0.29 as well,  I can at least get into the knowledge
base, but when I put in a keyword and click search, I get this message:

I am having similar issues as we speak. Using IE 6.0.29 I can log in,
click on "Knowledge Base" on the Support Overview page and then up pops
the following in a little window:

 ___
|Caught exception undefined: undefined - TypeError: |
|Object doesn't support this property or method... AT:  |
|Undefined  |
|___|

When I click on OK, I get a big blank middle of the screen with the menu
bar down the side. And 

Now over on Firefox 2.0.0.2, I get a nice big box on the Knowledge Base
page asking me to "Search Knowledge Base". But when I put something in
the
Keyword(s) field and click on Search, I get a "performing search" page
and then a giant "Caught exception" error box that kills the whole deal.

I sometimes wish I could search on the knowledge base. It is like
looking in the window at the candy store and watching all the other
lucky kids getting their sweets while I stand outside without any money.

One more thing. Just to make sure anybody reading this thread in future is
not confused, my issue was NOT being able to get to the KB search window or
after getting there, NOT being able to even begin a search.

This issue is different from what Susan and Michelle reported, which
is..being able to do the search, but not getting expected results. That's an
issue for another day for me.

Ray,

Like Susan, I haven't had much luck using the Knowledge Base.  I'm usually
pretty good at searching reasonable search engines.  This one has me pretty
beat down.  There are very interesting articles, but none that typically
have anything to do with my search.



It would be great if one was able to use a Boolean search.



Anyway, my environment is:

Win XP Pro

Re: Anybody able to use Knowledge Base search lately?

2007-02-08 Thread Rick Cook

I'm using IE 6.0.29 from an XP client, using the 1.5_06 JRE, (though the
1.4.11 SDK I use on another box also works), and have no problems accessing
anything at the moment.

I did notice that they are weighting the KB responses now.  Maybe they were
before, but I don't recall seeing the match %, nor did the results seem
sorted by weight, which they appear to be now.  Yay!

if you are, what operating system, browser/version/patch & jre version are
you using? Also, if you are connecting throught VPN or not.

One time yesterday everything was working perfectly for mefor a brief
period. It was like magic. Only changes I had made was that instead of
connecting through VPN I had a direct connection and I had removed JRE/JDK
1.5.x and left only 1.4.2.x. Everything worked perfectly on IE on the
support site.

Little later, it stopped working (can't remember anything I might have
done). Today the same story. I am back to square one. VPN/No VPN seems to
make no difference and my JRE version remains at 1.4.2.x. I have Win XP pro
sp2, IE 6.0, Fireforx 1.5.0.9, Netscape 7.2.

Everybody can't be having such issues and remaining quiet. Or are you?

Re: Anybody able to use Knowledge Base search lately?

2007-02-05 Thread Axton

I've tried half a dozen times or so and it has failed to work at all since
the site upgrade.  I've tried IE6, IE7, and FireFox 1.5.0.9.

On FireFox 1.5.0.9, I get the following when the 'Search Knowledge Database'
page is loading:
Caught Exception :o has no properties

I then try login to supportweb in IE7 and get this error as soon as I hit
the Knowledge Base link:
ARERR [9084]: User is currently connected from another machine

Useless I tells ya.

I try to get a little creative.  I go back to the firefox/KB page and
manipulate the url to hit the LogoutServlet:
http://support.bmc.com/arsys/servlet/LogoutServlet

Browser returns with: "You have successfully logged out"

I kill all the IE sessions so the session is terminated, and I then reopen
IE7 and attempt to hit the KB again.
I am asked to relogin at the front page of supportweb, that's good, my
sessions were closed.
I perform a search and get back some results, wow, that's a first.

...hmmm, no sites are listed in my internet trusted sites.

All the newfangled IE7 fishing/whatever detectors are disabled on my
browser.

Lucky you. What browser/version do you use?

Anybody else recently used or tried to use KB search?

I haven't been able to search the Knowledge Base ever since the "upgrade"
happened on the support web site.



I have made some progress, alright. I can now at least get to the "Search
Knowledge Base" screen without ghastly errors. (Yippie!! How about that?)



On pressing the "Search" button, however, I get a new window that seems to
be loading stuff for a while, but ultimately remains blank with "Error on
Page" at the bottom.



I don't see anybody talking about this issue any longer. Have you guys
given up hopes of ever using the Knowledge Base...as the permanent victim of
the "upgrade"...or figured out the secret way to have it behave? I would
want to be in on the secret.



I am using IE 6 and Firefox 2.

Re: Anybody able to use Knowledge Base search lately?

2007-02-05 Thread Matt Reinfeldt
Ray,

 

I've been able to use it successfully over the last couple of months.  I
have done the following to help reduce any issues:

-  Added all necessary BMC domains as Trusted Sites

-  Disabled all pop-up blockers for BMC domains

-  Kept my JRE up-to-date (not sure if this really helps though. :-)
)

 

Good luck with it!

 

Matt R.
