The ELO Java Client program interface appears.

Error messages

The ELO Java Client distinguishes between internal errors and external errors.

The error messages are shown at the bottom of the logon dialog box.

Internal errors are shown highlighted in yellow. This means that either an unknown user or incorrect password was entered, or the account has been locked. Re-enter your logon information. Contact your system administrator if your account is locked.

External errors are displayed in red. In this case, there is an issue with the server connection. Please contact your system administrator.

Web Start

Web Start technology allows you to call the ELO Java Client via a link in the browser. Your system administrator must have set up a Web Start.

If this is the case, call the URL in the browser that refers to the eloclient server directory. The URL may look like this:

http://eloserver:9090/ELOclient/

You will now see a website in the browser with the Start ELO Java Client button. Click this button to start the client.

When you first start the client, all necessary data is loaded to a local cache on your computer. As soon as there is a more up-to-date client version in the server directory, the cache is also updated on your computer. This makes it easier to load new program versions.
