Coral versus CAC
As CNF migrates equipment to the new Coral system, you will find that some
equipment is running off of Coral and some off of CAC. Equipment that is still
running off the old CAC system will not be listed in the Coral client.
Conversely, equipment running off the new Coral system will no longer be
listed in the old web scheduling system or in CAC itself.
Remote Coral
Coral can be run "remotely" from any web browser with an appropriate java
runtime installed. You will need either a version of Java6 or the latest
version of Java5. Early versions of Java5 will not work. Java4 and earlier
will also not work.
Running Remote Coral over a dialup internet connection is not recommended due
to the large size of the files which must be downloaded. Remote Coral also
requires a reasonable amount of horsepower to run.
Start Remote Coral by clicking the Coral link on the cnfusers web page.
Local Coral
"Local" coral is run from your Sunray linux account. If remotely logging into
your sunray linux account, you will need to enable X11 forwarding/tunneling
and run an X server (such as Exceed on Windows).
If your AFS tokens have expired, you will not be able to run Coral.
Start Coral either by typing in "coral" (without the quotes) at a command
prompt or by choosing Coral from the Applications menu.
