The following are known issues when using WebFOCUS Maintain:

• When running Maintain applications from the MDE or Developer Studio, the Developer Studio Viewer must be used to display the output. This is the default setting in Developer Studio. Changing this setting to use Internet Explorer output with Maintain may result in unexpected behavior. For more information on the Developer Studio Viewer, see the Developer Studio Application Development Getting Started manual.

  The Developer Studio Viewer currently has the following known problems:

  • Delete key does not work. As a workaround, use the Backspace key.
  • Tab keys do not work to move between controls on a form.
  • Arrow keys for the JS Grid control do not work. The Tab key is available within this control to move to the next cell.
  • Default button in a Maintain procedure is not recognized.
  • Form titles are not displayed.
  • Running a form with the JS Grid control in the Developer Studio Viewer will display incorrect information in the URL address.
• There is currently no Run option for Maintain .mnt and .fcm files from Reporting Servers in the WebFOCUS BI Portal page. You can invoke a WebFOCUS Maintain application using a launch form directly from a browser using a URL.
• SU for Maintain procedures is not supported when using XFOC data sources.
• Running a Maintain application that uses Ibivalidation may fail to work properly when run in a non-Internet Explorer browser.
• WebFOCUS Maintain does not support Internet Explorer Version 10 Standards mode.
• Update Assist does not open when you invoke it from the Developer Studio QuickLinks menu.
• When running a launch form, such as wfmstart.htm, from the Reporting Server on the WebFOCUS BI Portal page, closing the application using an exit button, (for example, Winform_selfClose), will display an xml page. You can add a document referrer statement to your Maintain procedure, to return to the page of your choice, by using the document.referrer command in the Top Case of your Maintain procedure. For example:

  document.referrer = “/approot/ibisamp/wfmstart.htm”

• The option to enable a context menu from the Advanced JavaScript settings no longer exists in Firefox Version 23. The context menu is now enabled by default. You can confirm this by typing about:config in the address bar, and searching for contextmenu.
• If you use Firefox Version 23 or higher to run applications with MNTONLOAD functionality to limit access to key functions, you will be required to install a browser add-on to view the Blocked Function Key messages in the status bar. You also must enable the status message in about.config (dom.disable_window_status_change). For more information, see the Mozilla Firefox website.
• When you place a vertical line control, with a pen width of 1 or more, on a Maintain form, the vertical line control will display thicker when you run the form in Firefox, Chrome, or Safari browsers. If you choose to run this form in a non-Internet Explorer browser, you must replace the line control with a text object, which you then resize, and fill with the color Black.

• If Update Assist is invoked from the Maintain Development Environment immediately after installing Developer Studio, errors may occur. Once Developer Studio is restarted, the Update Assist tool can be run successfully from Developer Studio or from within the Maintain Development Environment.
