Changing the default browser engine used in DataMiner Cube

To change the default browser engine used in DataMiner Cube:

  1. In the System Center module, go to System settings > plugins.

  2. Select a specific default engine, or select the option to let Cube determine the default engine.

    • Prior to DataMiner 10.0.10, the default browser engine is Internet Explorer. From DataMiner 10.0.10 onwards, if Chromium is installed, the default browser engine changes to Chromium. In addition, DataMiner apps displayed within an embedded web browser in DataMiner Cube (e.g. Ticketing, Dashboards, etc.) will always use the Chromium browser engine, regardless of which default browser engine is configured.

    • From DataMiner 10.1.11/10.2.0 onwards, you can select to use Edge (WebView2). This browser engine has the advantage that web content is rendered directly to the graphics card and proprietary codecs such as H.264 and AAC are supported. In addition, the browser engine automatically receives updates via Windows Update, regardless of the DataMiner or Cube version.

      Note

      The WebView2 Runtime is automatically installed with Office 365 Apps and/or Windows 11. It is not included in DataMiner upgrade packages.

  3. Optionally, if you want a different browser to be used for a specific protocol or (prior to DataMiner 10.0.10) app:

    1. Below Exclusions, click Add exclusion and select either Protocol or the name of the app.

    2. For a protocol, click <protocol> and select the name of the protocol.

    3. Next to Engine, select the engine that should be used for this protocol or app.

    Note

    From DataMiner 10.0.10 onwards, it is no longer possible to specify a different browser for apps.

  4. Click the Apply button in the lower right corner to save your changes.
