Error description

  • With Internet Explorer 8 as the browser, navigating between
    pages of a coach in Process Portal works correctly until the
    Back button is clicked to navigate to the previous page of the
    coach.  The page renders correctly, but does not accept any user
    input (the page is effectively in read-only mode). This problem
    occurs intermittently.

    This is caused by a timing issue, in the handling of events
    received by Internet Explorer 8 from the BPM server via
    cometd connection.  Other browsers do not appear to exhibit
    this timing issue.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Server code was added to ensure that before pushing any event
    to the browser, that the browser is truly ready to receive it.
    
    An interim fix for Business Process Manager Version 8.0.1.0 has
    been published to Fix Central.  Please refer to the separate
    file that is automatically downloaded with the interim fix
    for prerequisite information and installation/uninstallation
    instructions.
