IV70350: GISWIDGETS ATTACHED TO GISMAP RECORDS ARE NOT BEING LOADED INTO JAVASCRIPT WHEN THE MAP LOADS.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• We tested this functionality on a TRIRIGA instance running
  3.4.1.0 and
  it worked as expected, we also tried it on another instance,
  running
  3.4.1.1, in the same environment and it did not work. Both
  server logs
  for the working instance and the non-working instance have been
  provided previously to Tom Fitts and Richard Cantwell.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• GISWidgets attached to GISMap records were not being loaded in
  the javascript when the map loads. The issue was that
  previously EsriJS was using a hook in GetDocServlet that
  bypassed user permissions when loading the widget javascript.
  In 3.4.1 that hook was shored up due to it being a security
  vulnerability. This fix now passes in the GIS module id, and
  Widget Gui Id, when calling GetDocServlet to retrieve the
  widget javascript. In order for the widget to load at runtime,
  users must have at least read only access to the triGISWidget
  form.
  

Problem conclusion

• Resolved an issue where GIS Widget were not loading for both
  Admin and Non-Admin users. Note that with this fix, Non-Admin
  users will need to be part of the TRIRIGA GIS Widget View Mode
  security group in order to load GIS Widgets, regardless of it
  any Widget Security Groups are specified in the GIS Map Record.
  This is targeted for the 1H2105 release as well as the 3.4.1.2
  fix pack.
  
  The documentation is targeted to be updated.
  At the bottom of the Widgets Group Section, of the IBM TRIRIGA
  Application Platform Connector Users Guide
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/nl/en-
  us/SSHEB3_3.4.1/com.ibm.tap.doc/pdfs/pdf_tap_connector.pdf
  The following will be added:
  Note that regardless of specific groups being specified or not
  in the Widget Group Section of the GIS Map Record, all
  Non-Admin users must be members of the TRIRIGA GIS Widget View
  Mode security group in order view widgets on the GIS Map.
  This is to meet basic platform security requirements for users
  loading widgets.
