Announcing Adobe Flash End-of-Life and its impact on TrueSight Operations Management
TrueSight Operations Management 11.3.x uses Adobe Flash in the legacy TrueSight Infrastructure Management operator console. Adobe has announced the end-of-life for Flash, after which Adobe Systems will officially stop updating and distributing Adobe Flash.
The major browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft's Internet Explorer, will no longer support Adobe Flash at the end of 2020. Until its removal, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have, by default, disabled Adobe Flash and require explicit permissions from the user to activate it on a website. However, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge continue to support Adobe Flash until its removal.
BMC's earlier announcement about this can be accessed here.
Dropped support for TrueSight Infrastructure Management consoles
The TrueSight Infrastructure Management operator console is dropped in 11.3.04. Therefore, you can no longer cross-launch to the Infrastructure Management operator console from the TrueSight console. The TrueSight console, a component of TrueSight Presentation Server, is the replacement for the operator console. This approach has the following advantages:
- You no longer need to enable Flash Plugin in your browsers.
- You can manage your workflows and monitor your infrastructure resources from a single console.
For more information about the equivalent workflows, see Operator console workflows available in the TrueSight console.
- The TrueSight Infrastructure Management SLO console is dropped in 11.3.04.
Dropped support for system tray icon
