Siva,

Thanks a lot for your post.

Yes, you are correct since September 1st, Google Chrome stopped supporting NPAPI plug-ins. For more information see the following thread in the Certified Pega Marketing Consultants Community: https://mesh.pega.com/message/170826

In short, Visual Business Director works in browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc.

Marco.

Thanks Marco. It works on Firefox.

Marco - Just another question, Why has Pega chosen old technology like applets for VBD when many advanced javascript libraries are available?

Siva,

Visual Business Director exists for ages (>8 years) and you are correct the world moves on and so do we. The new, none java applet based version of Visual Business Director is already developed and is scheduled to be released as part of the ML10 release.

Marco.

That's wonderful news Marco. Looking forward for the new VBD.

Can someone point me towards learning more about VBD

Siva,

I would recommend you do follow the following short (max 2h) modules on Pega Academy. If you need any help, feel free to use the associated forum.

Reagrds,
