10 2 Pp-Up Blckers Internet Explrer versins 7 and up include a built in ppup blcker and mre explicit security warnings when dwnlading Internet cntent. Als, many add-ns t Micrsft Internet Explrer have intrduced pp-up blckers int their sftware. It is recmmended that pp-up blckers be disabled n client PC machines, but if this is nt pssible, please refer t yu pp-up blcker dcumentatin fr instructins n hw t create exceptins fr the Aras Innvatr sftware. 3.NET Framewrk Client Cnfiguratin This dcument utlines the steps needed t cnfigure a client PC machine s Internet Explrer t run the Aras Innvatr sftware. The system administratr must als review and deply the.net Framewrk client cnfiguratin befre the Aras Innvatr sftware can be run n a client machine. The Aras Innvatr -.NET Client Cnfiguratin dcument presents ptins fr hw individual IT departments will deply the.net Framewrk Security plicies t client PCs. This dcument cntains the instructins fr cnfiguring the.net Framewrk 2.0, 3.0, r 3.5. This dcument can be fund at r in the Dcumentatin flder f the Aras Innvatr CD Image. Page 11

11 4 Trubleshting 4.1 Files Display in the Aras Innvatr Windw Certain file type can use Internet Explrer as the default prgram t be viewed in. The example this sectin will use is an XML dcument. When an XML dcument is pen in mst systems it will use Internet Explrer as the viewer. The default setting has the XML file pen in any pen Internet Explrer windws, if pssible. If this file pens in the Aras Innvatr windw, it can invalidate this windw fr further use with the Aras Innvatr sessin. If this file pens in the main Aras Innvatr windw, it can invalidate the entire Aras Innvatr sessin fr the user. At this time, there are tw main slutins fr this prblem. One, assciate the file type with a viewer ther than Internet Explrer. Changing the viewer assciated with the file type must be dne n a file type by file type basis. Or tw, disable the ability fr these files t pen in existing Internet Explrer windws. This secnd ptin will frce the XML file t be pened in a new Internet Explrer windw, rather than any existing windw. See sectin fr instructins t disable this feature IE Settings fr Disabling Files frm Opening in Innvatr Windws 1. Open Internet Explrer 2. Select Tls-> Internet Optins in the main menu. 3. Select Advanced tab 4. In the Brwsing sectin Uncheck Reuse windws fr launching shrtcuts ptin. Apply. 4.2 ActiveX cntrl is deactivated when ther applicatins are dcked with Internet Explrer n the Windws Desktp Certain applicatins, like chat prgrams, have a dcking feature with the Windws Desktp. This dcking allws the prgram t appear t snap int the displayed desktp alng ne f the edges. The effect this has n Aras Innvatr is that the user will be prmpted t activate UI cntrls (menus, grids, trees, etc). Belw is an example f the type f prmpt a user can see. The cause f the prblem is that Internet Explrer is incrrectly determining the script debugging state nce an applicatin is dcked. Once an applicatin is dcked, a windws message is sent t all tp-level windws. When Internet Explrer receives the message, it is misinterpreting the script debugging state and disabling script debugging internally. This disabling f script debugging internally leads t cntrls prmpting fr activatin when a page is laded. Page 12

12 This issue shuld be fixed in a future update t Internet Explrer. At this time, Aras Crpratin recmmends that yu disable script debugging n client PC machines. The steps fr disabling script debugging in Internet Explrer are utlined in Internet Explrer and Client Cnfiguratin. If users chse nt t disable script debugging, there is a wrkarund when the errr ccurs. If a user encunters this errr, lg ut f Aras Innvatr and lg back in t refresh the client. 4.3 Lgin Screen randmly takes a lng time t lad Certain settings in Internet Explrer culd pssibly cause the Aras Innvatr lgin screen t take an extended perid f time t lad. In this instance, fr the first lgin f the day, the lgin windw appears t be lading with a blank white screen fr arund 90 secnds. After the initial lad the lgin windw wrks fine. A pssible cause fr this prblem is the system is trying t autmatically detect prxy settings n the netwrk. With this setting set t true yur cnnectin will spend time trying t determine whether there is prxy settings n yur netwrk it must adhere t Disabling Aut Detect prxy settings 1. Open Internet Explrer 2. Select Tls->Internet Optins 3. Select the Cnnectins Tab 4. Click the LAN Settings Buttn 5. Uncheck Autmatically detect settings if it is checked(screen sht belw Page 13
