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:
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, it 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.
When invoking Update Assist from the Maintain Development Environment, immediately
after installing Developer Studio, errors may occur. You must restart Developer
Studio, and invoke the Update Assist tool from outside the Maintain Development
Environment.
