The font size and resolution appear larger in version 9.6

• CA Automic Applications Manager (AM)

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to Applications Manager version 9.6 or above, the font size and resolution of the Java Client appear to be larger then previous versions.

Is it possible to adjust these settings to match those in version 9.5.x and below?

Environment

Applications Manager 9.6+

Cause

Applications Manager version 9.6's font and resolution scales with Windows display scaling settings. For example, if you have a high resolution monitor and set Windows display scaling to 150%, the Java Client will also scale to 150%.

Resolution

Option 1:

Lower the Window display scaling. If needed, refer to your OS admin for more information on how to do this as step may different depending on Windows version.

Note that this is the expected behavior.

Option 2:

 Add a runOptions parameter that will override Windows scaling, by setting the scaling to 1.0 (100%).

1. From the directory where your RunClient.jar is located, edit the client.properties file
2. Add the option "-Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0" to the runOptions parameter. For example:
   
   runOptions=-Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.uiScale=1.0
   
   
3. Save and restart the Java Client. Windows scaling settings will no longer apply to the Java Client.
