Hi Everyone,

R&D came up with a tentative fix for all ACLs when using Chrome 83 . You should contact support to get an official hotfix for your PPM version.

I can share the (simple) fix here if some of you want to apply the change manually, but please be aware that at this stage this is a beta code fix which hasn't gone through QA testing yet - so PLEASE back up the file you modify in case we come up with a better fix later.

Beta Fix:

Edit the file <SERVER_HOME>/deploy/itg.war/web/knta/global/js/CompValidation.js and make the following change (note that the line number will change depending on your PPM version - below screenshot uses PPM 9.61 code)

Here's the new code as text if you want to copy & paste:

setTimeout( function() {popupDocument.location = newLoc}, 0 );

You can change the file directly on PPM server while the server is running, no need to restart PPM for changes to take effect, just do a hard-refresh in your browser (CTRL F5) to load the updated JS file.

Unfortunately this fix is too late to be included in PPM 9.61, so it should be part of PPM 9.62, tentatively planned for the end of August. In the meantime, we'll issue hotfixes for any (supported) PPM version you may be using that supports Chrome. Please contact Micro Focus Support for more info.

Kind Regards,

Etienne.

The issue is with the latest version of chrome version 83. The previous version 81 does not have the issue, needless to mention that version 82 was skipped release due to COVID. 

Checked in Chrome Incognito browser (to make sure the issue is not a cache issue), it was working fine. Hence if a customer says that they want to work only on Chrome, as an interim solution we can suggest them to use Incognito mode.

Chrome's next upgrade, to version 84, will release on July 14.

Hello Preeti,
Unfortunately incognito mode also doesn't help. As Etienne has pointed out, a new security feature introduced in Chrome 83 that's breaking current PPM code for Auto-Complete popups on practically all version of PPM.

The fix provided above works perfectly fine in resolving the issue.

Thanks,

Hi  , we follow this steps and it worked fine for a couple of days, but now we have the issue again.

We have PPM 9.51 and Chrome Versión 83.0.4103.97 (Build oficial) (64 bits)

I checked all nodes and they have the fix in CompValidation.js file.

Thank you
