Login to Managed Reporting. From either the "Domain Builder" or "Domains" tabs, open a domain, open a folder and run a report or html page. The resulting window opens behind the main Managed Reporting window - to view it you have to click on the highlighted icon in the task bar. This happens on everybody's desktops.

I do not recall this happening in any other of the environments I have worked on in the past, but it is happening in our Dev and Prod environments. Is this a configuration issue with WebFOCUS, MRE or WebSphere?

Thanks,

Could it be a combination of browser type and java version ?

It's good old IE 6. Java is 1.6.0_22-b04.

Pretty common combo.

Thats the same as I have, except I'm on Java 1.6.0_22-b03.

No problems here.

What version of IE 6 ?

IE 6.0.2900.5512 SP3

That it also the same as what I am using.

When you say it opend behind the applet window, is it the browser window the applet is in or the applet inside the browser ?

I have seen browser windows open behind the opening browser window, but its rare.

Waz, not sure what you mean. The "Java Applet window" is the regular MRE window that shows the contents of the domains. Running anything from one of the domain folders opens the resulting IE window behind the IE window of MRE.

I was just wondering if the java applet in the browser was somehow jumping in front of the new window.

I know I've seen the java windows that MRE opens disapear from the task bar, but that is a different thing.

I just did a google search for "java browser open window behind", and found some bugs that seem to indicate that it is a java issue.

BTW your post was at the top.

Wow! That might help the IBI Tech Support people.

I followed the instructions in University of Virginia: JRE Frequently Asked Questions "Disabling next-generation java workaround" and that worked!

Unfortunately we can't ask over 200 users to do this.

Thanks Waz!

Aahh the power of Google

The power of Google is infinite!

Here's an example: one of my Flickr photos. I used Google Images Search to find out where my image is (mis)used on the web - Google helped me find a dozen or so websites where my homage to Robert Doisneau is labelled a real Robert Doisneau photo!!!

Google Images Search actually compares the selected image to other images!

Francis, Google is building Intelligence, wherever It can be built. As said.. Infinite is not even the complete word, to tell the Power

Well there not at the God stage, but perhaps they are getting closer.

Exatly Waz... Almost near that !!!

According to IBI, it's the Java version:

WebFOCUS Support Statement for Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) Updated: June 2011

It's thoroughly annoying that it's so easy to get WebFOCUS components out of whack with a Java version upgrade.

[Conspiracy Theory]

I wonder if that is the point.

Auto update is on, and then things get annoying.

Upgrade time.
