Does anyone have an automated way to screen capture copies of each map for offline storage?

Our field guys sometimes need to work where cellular coverage is marginal, they have no way to access NetXMS and yet they need IP addresses and connectivity information that is visible in NetXMS maps.  In the early days, we manually copied maps to the clipboard, pasted them into a graphics program, printed them to pdf and stored them in a Dropbox folder that was locally replicated to peoples' devices.

That worked well when we had <20 maps.  Today we have hundreds of map pages, so people have to phone in for help - that's OK during the day but less reliable on weekends.

We make extensive use of Summary Tables but only for DCI values.  Is there a way to get similar summaries for node properties like location?  Ideally we'd like to configure a Summary Table that includes both DCI values and other node properties as different columns in the same report, but any path to getting a summary of manually entered Latitude and Longitude values would be useful.

An answer on stackoverflow for a Mac user struggling to get eclipse running suggested downloading and installing the JDK.  I went to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html and downloaded the jdk-8u161 for macosx which provided some progress if not the solution.  Now opening a terminal and typing "java -version" returns "1.8.0_161" - certainly a breakthrough, and the NetXMS console app gets farther.

Now the console app displays its login screen with the Server address preset to the address of the former NetXMS server with the cursor flashing in the Password box.  Unfortunately, all keyboard or mouse interaction with this app is frozen.  I can't make any progress from this screen except to cntl-click on the icon in the tray and select quit. Other apps are not affected, so there is still something with Java on the Mac which I won't have time to further pursue for a day or so.

Any insights would be welcome.
Thanks.

Hi, we recently migrated a 2.0.7 installation to a new server with 2.2.1.  That went successfully, then we updated multiple Windows 7 and Windows 10 boxes to Java 8 and the 2.2.1 management console, again without problems. 

Now I'm trying to upgrade my Mac, so far without success.  The Mac is running MacOS 10.12.6.  I installed nxmc-2.2.1.dmg.  When it gave a java error, I installed Java 8 update 161.  Then I re-installed nxmc-2.2.1.dmg.  Still fails to start.

The log file is attached below, but from the first few lines, it's clear the Mac is confused about Java versions.

    eclipse.buildId=unknown
    java.version=1.6.0_65

The Java Control Panel only shows one version of Java installed:  1.8.0_161.

I'll go search through Apple forums (where it's already clear Java on Apple is a mess) but if there is a quick answer which I've missed, please point it out.
Thanks.
