the reporting element from the management console is broken for instance if I click the more details from the security status it will launch internet explorer as its meant to but then ie will crash and not generate the report. I spoke to one of our guys from our internal development team and we attached a debugger to to the window to see what was happening and found that it just kept looping around the code shown below.
while(1)
{
if(win.document.body !=null)
{
win.document.body.appendChild(f);
break;
}
else
{
setTimeout("this.isIe7()",3000);
this is extremely annoying we can't use any of the reports from the managhement console as they just crash. A temporary workaround we have used at the moment is to change the code to
var retryCount = 0;
while(retryCount < 100)
{
if(win.document.body !=null)
{
win.document.body.appendChild(f);
f.action=reloaction(url);
win.document.ska.submit();
break;
}
else
{
setTimeout("this.isIe7()",3000);
}
retryCount++;
while this works slightly better it doesn't work all the time and still only allow us to view the reports from http://server_address:8014/reporting it still will not work from inside the management console. Has anybody else come accross this issue? Does anybody from Symantec have a fix?
