PI52507: OPERATIONAL ANALYTICS CONSOLE DISPLAY CAN BECOME CORRUPTED IN FIREFOX

IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation Interim Fix README for 7.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some cases, the display of information in the Operational
  Analytics Console can be corrupted when using the Firefox web
  browser.  In circumstances where this occurs, the Console will
  display the name of a data field (such as the fields in the
  "Cluster Information" section of the "Administration" page),
  but not the actual value of the field.
  

Local fix

• When this occurs, resizing the Firefox web browser window that
  is displaying the Operational Analytics Console will
  temporarily resolve the problem, but it may occur again later
  in the the console session (in which case, resizing the window
  again will again clear the issue temporarily).
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * Administrators of the Operational Analytics Console User     *
  * Interface on all major browsers for version 7.0.             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When a user has scroll bars enabled/forced on major          *
  * browsers, or on supported Windows versions, the browser may  *
  * display a scroll bar on tables. These scroll bars interfere  *
  * with the rendering of the tables which will cause the tables *
  * to intermittently display incorrectly.                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * -                                                            *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The UI logic for table rendering was modified to render the
  tables using a percentage width instead of a fixed pixel width.
  This removes the scroll bars  and therefore resolves the
  rendering problem. The analytics WAR needs to be redeployed. The
  ifix that contains this APAR will need to be applied.
