Active Technologies

The Active Technologies User’s Guide does not reflect all current screens. An updated version of the documentation will be available as soon as possible.

This topic describes known issues in Active Technologies.

The menu in an Active Technologies report for PDF always opens on the right side of the screen instead of dynamically switching to the left side when there is not enough width on the right. The positioning of the menu is the result of a known issue in the Adobe® Flex® SDK. As a work-around, a horizontal scroll bar is added at the bottom of an Active Technologies report in APDF format so that you can access the menu in the rightmost column.
The following mobile and tablet device support applies:
- Active Technologies for Flash® and PDF are not supported on Apple® iOS-based devices or Android™ devices.
- Active Technologies charts that use the advanced Flash chart engine are not supported on Android devices.
- Active Technologies charts that use the WebFOCUS Graph JavaScript Engine are not supported on Android devices with OS version 3.0 or lower.
- In Active Technologies for mobile on Android devices, you cannot select the chart type when using the WebFOCUS Graph JavaScript Engine. Charts are not available in the chart selection tool.
- Running an AHTML report with more than 30,000 records may cause the mobile Safari® browser to close on the Apple iPad®. To handle a large set of data when using Safari on iPad, turn on the active cache feature.
The mouse-over data tip is not supported in Internet Explorer® 9 using ARGRAPHENGINE=JSCHART.
The spectral chart type in Active Technologies for HTML is not supported.
HTML5 and AHTML graph output does not support the LEGEND Top position.

An active report for Adobe Flash Player is generated using a Java®-based compiler engine that is included with the Adobe Open Source Flex SDK for the WebFOCUS Reporting Server. The Adobe Flex compiler does not support the use of a UNC (Universal Naming Convention or Uniform Naming Convention) path.
If the WebFOCUS Reporting Server is installed on a network share using a UNC path name, you must set the CLASSPATH to flex-compiler-oem.jar and mxmlc.jar on a mapped drive before starting the server.

For example, before calling edastart on a user PC, issue the following commands:
```
net use E: \\mypc\C$\ibi
```
```
set CLASSPATH=E:\srv77\home\etc\flex\lib\flex-compiler-oem.jar;
   E:\srv77\home\etc\flex\lib\mxmlc.jar 
```
If you save or distribute an AHTML report or dashboard with ARGRAPHENGINE=FUSION using the Save or Send As Email option or the ReportCaster e-mail attachment option, you will receive an empty chart in the saved or distributed report or dashboard.
The following are known issues with Mobile Web Apps:
- Active Technologies for Mobile Web Apps full-screen Web app view is not available in desktop browsers.
- The totals in a pivot table may appear misaligned when switching BY and ACROSS columns in the pivot table while in full-screen Web app view on mobile devices.
- In full-screen Web app view on mobile devices, rollup and pivot tables created from Rollup menu items are missing. You can view them when you switch the view to the original active report view.

JSCOM may fail to start when using IBM Java 1.6. To resolve this issue, make sure that the following is in the load library path:
```
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ppc
```
For more information, see the WebFOCUS and ReportCaster installation and configuration manual for your platform.

There is a known issue with advanced Active Technologies charts for Adobe Flash Player. They are not supported in Report Library.

Comments for an accordion active report are cleared when used with the active cache feature if you sort output with the Sort Ascending or Sort Descending command.

All commonly used browsers are available in a 32-bit version. The 32-bit version of the Internet Explorer is the default browser on Windows 64-bit systems.
