CR376380 |
A harmless warning is thrown by Message Driven Beans once during deployment in the WebLogic Portal Sample Application. The Message Driven Beans throw the following warnings when the deployer can't obtain distribute destination information: Message-DrivenEJB: MessageBufferTopicBean is unable to connect to the JMS destination: weblogic.portalApp.WlwRuntimeAppScopedJMS#MSG_BUFFER_TOPIC. The Error was:Can not get distribute destination information. The destination JNDI name is weblogic.portalApp.WlwRuntimeAppScopedJMS#MSG_BUFFER_TOPIC, the provider URL is null This warning is thrown only once and can be safely ignored.

Possible build errors after upgrading a web project that depends on an EJB project. After upgrading some web project which depend on classes from an EJB project in an EAR, the EJB classes will show as unresolvable in the web project in the Problems view. Platform: All Workaround:
That triggers a rebuild and the classes should be found. |
CR275922 |
Changes to public XmlDisassemblerContext methods. The class com.bea.netuix.application.transform.disassembler.XmlDisassemblerContext had several methods that used methods from JDOM version 0.9. This version of JDOM turned out to be incompatible with new releases of JDOM. The 0.9 version of JDOM was repacked into com.bea.p13n.org.jdom.* classes, and the methods in XmlDisassemblerContext have been updated accordingly. Users of these methods will have to change their code. Platform: All Workaround: Replace all references to methods of XmlDisassemblerContext that use org.jdom.* with com.bea.p13n.org.jdom.*. |
CR341128 |
Potential java.io.InvalidClassException when upgrading an application from JDK 1.5.0_06 or prior to JDK 1.5.0_07. If you upgrade an application originally built with JDK 1.5.0_06 or earlier to WebLogic Portal 10.2, you may see an exception similar to the following when starting the server: java.io.InvalidClassException: javax.xml.namespace.QName; local class incompatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID=4418622981026545151, local class serialVersionUID=-9120448754896609940 The problem is actually with the 1.5.0_07 version (and later) of the JDK, in which there is an incompatible change of the serialVersionUID of the Platform: All Workaround: Set the old compatibility value by setting the system property: com.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID = 1.0 Or you can add the following option to the Java command in the script you use to start WebLogic Server: - Dcom.sun.xml.namespace.QName.useCompatibleSerialVersionUID = 1.0 |

An SQLException may occur when migrating RDBMSAuthenticator data if the data contains WebLogic Portal system user or group names during domain upgrade. When a domain with an RDBMSAuthenticator is upgraded to 10.2 and its data is migrated to SQLAuthenticator during the upgrade, an SQLException may occur if certain WebLogic Portal system user or group names exist in the RDBMSAuthenticator. Specifically, if the RDBMSAuthenticator has the users "weblogic" or "portaladmin", or has the groups "Administrators", "AppTesters", "Deployers", "Monitors", "Operators", or "PortalSystemAdministrators", an SQLException similar to the following will occur: SQLException when executing Platform: All Workaround: To avoid this error, edit the file |
CR363547 |
Confusing informational message about running SQLAuthenticator.sql displayed when domain is created with "Customize Environment and Services Settings" set to Yes. The following error message is displayed by the Configuration Wizard after domain creation: Before booting this domain, it is necessary to run the SQL file located at If Run Scripts were not selected on the Run Database Scripts panel, the database objects needed to execute SQLAuthenticator.sql and other components will not exist in the database. Platform: All Workaround: Create a new domain and execute Run Scripts from the Run Database Scripts panel. |
CR378049 |
Deployment of an 8.1.6 application that has been upgraded to 10.3 may fail due to NoClassDefFoundErrors. Deployment of an 8.1.6 application that has been upgraded to 10.3 may fail due to NoClassDefFoundErrors if the application was imported and upgraded in the default workspace or a workspace that had contained previously imported applications that have been deleted. Platform: Windows 2003 Workaround: Import and upgrade all 8.1.6 applications to 10.3 using a new custom workspace that is clean. |
CR378461 |
Shared library build errors after upgrading 8.1.x application. After upgrading, numerous build errors will display in the Problems view about issues with share libraries, such as: 'beehive-controls-1.0.1-10.0' library is on the class path of this project but is not in the weblogic-application.xml file of the EAR project Platform: Linux Workaround: In the EAR project, make a minor change to the EarContent/META-INF/weblogic-application.xml file (e.g. add a space or empty line) and save the file. After a build, the build error should go away. |
CR376710 |
Build and runtime error with page flow strutsMerge annotation after upgrading and application on Linux. In an upgraded web application that uses the strutsMerge functionality in a Page Flow, a build error appears in the Problems view similar to: File 'struts-config-merge.xml' could not be found in the web application. If the projects are published to a server even with the error, a org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow. UnresolvableForwardException from the Page Flow will occur at runtime. Platform: Linux Workaround: Create new projects in Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse and import the source artifacts. |
9224906 |
Domain Configuration Wizard fails DB connection tests for Derby The Domain Configuration Wizard will fail the database connection tests when the datasources are configured to use Derby. Platform: All Workaround: The test failures occur when the Derby database that is configured for the datasources is not currently running (which is the default state for Derby configurations). This can be avoided by manually starting the Derby database prior to executing the connection tests. Otherwise, these failures can be ignored. |
9047696 |
Domain Configuration Wizard Misleading Popup Message A confusing and misleading popup message is displayed from the domain configuration wizards after a new WLP domain is created. This occurs when the datasources are configured to use Derby (the default configuration), and the "Run Scripts" button in the "Run Database Scripts" step of the wizard is not clicked during the creation process. Platform: All Workaround: Execute |

Using the Eclipse Help > Check for Updates menu item breaks WebLogic Portal functionality in Eclipse. The default behavior for Eclipse's "Check for Updates" menu item will upgrade WLP's Eclipse to 3.6.2 and Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse to the 11.1.1.7.x line. The 11.1.1.7.x OEPE line is not compatible with the WebLogic Portal Eclipse plugins. It will cause various NoClassDefFoundErrors and NoSuchMethodErrors in Eclipse, particularly when creating projects, modifying project facets, and during upgrade; the Run > Open Portal Administration Console will not work. Platform: All Workaround: Do not use Check For Updates to update Oracle Enterprise for Eclipse or any of the related plugins. |

Opening WebLogic Portal Administration Console may fail to publish projects. If your Portal EAR project has been published, untargeted, and subsequently retargeted on a server instance, the open WebLogic Portal Administration Console menu action may fail to republish your application when invoked. This will manifest itself as a 404 response code upon access to the WebLogic Portal Administration Console. Platform: All Workaround: Manually publish your Portal EAR Projects by right-clicking the appropriate server entry in the Servers view, and selecting Publish. The open WebLogic Portal Administration Console menu item will then work properly. |

Application deployment in a domain with a DB2 database may result in a warning message regarding the privilege to perform SELECT on table SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1. When an application is deployed in a domain that uses a DB2 database, a harmless warning message may be displayed such as: [BEA][DB2 JDBC Driver][DB2]USER1 DOES NOT HAVE PRIVILEGE TO PERFORM OPERATION SELECT ON THIS OBJECT SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 Platform: All Workaround: To prevent this message, grant the privilege to perform SELECT on the table SYSIBM.SYSDUMM1 to PUBLIC. For example, GRANT SELECT ON SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1 TO PUBLIC; |

CR221434 |
The Export/Import Utility creates an additional locale for artifacts imported in a non-English locale. This problem occurs in the situation where the user localizes a book in the library to a non-en_US locale, and then exports the book as a .pinc and imports the .pinc to a destination in the non-en_US locale. Upon importing the resource, scoped to the Library level, the Export/Import Utility creates an entry in the Platform: All Workaround: Avoid using the Library scope when importing the .pinc resource in a non-en_US locale. |
CR270742 |
When async rendering is enabled for a portlet, portlets cannot directly change window modes or states. WebLogic Portal allows portlets to change the current window state and/or mode of a portlet either programmatically, or via parameters added to URLs. When async rendering (either via AJAX or iframes), these mechanisms will not provide a consistent view to the end user. Particularly, the title bar rendered above the portlet will not reflect the change in the mode or state immediately. Platform: All Workaround: None |
CR270887 |
Proxy portlet state management: 8.1.x consumers do not properly recover producer session timeouts. For a federated configuration in which the consumer is running 8.1.x, the consumer may not recover properly from producer session timeouts. Platform: All Workaround:

CR271035 |
Uncompressed URL templates must be used when generating off-site URLs. When using GenericURL, its subtypes or the corresponding JSP tags to generate off-site URLs (i.e.: URLs to resources that are not hosted in the web application of the code generating the URL) in a web application that has compression enabled, a URL template with compression disabled must be specified. For example, GenericURL redirectURL = GenericURL.createGenericURL(request, response); redirectURL.setDomain("www.yahoo.com"); redirectURL.setPort(80); redirectURL.setPath("/compressedUrl/index.html"); redirectURL.setTemplate("no_compression_template"); where "no_compression_template" is the name of a URL template that excludes the {url:compression} pseudo-token. Platform: All Workaround: Do not use URL compression, or do not use GenericURL to construct URLs to off-site resources. |
CR275621 |
Server port changes that are made to a running server require a portal application restart. If a server port (HTTP or HTTPS) is made to a running server, any affected portal applications need to be restarted for the changes to be picked up. Platform: All Workaround: Redeploy the EAR. |
CR280098 |
WebLogic Portal does not support changing the context-root of an existing portal web application with customized portal objects. Once a .portal file has been customized, or if entitlements have been created for a desktop, the context-root of the web application cannot be changed without losing the customizations and the entitlements. Platform: All Workaround: Do not change the context-root value: |
CR287496 |
The onInit events are not supported for remote portlets. Portlets can optionally register an event handler to get notified when portlets gets initiated by registering a handler of type "onInit". This feature is not currently supported for remote portlets. Platform: All Workaround: In general, portlets can run onInit logic lazily either when a user interaction occurs, or when another event is handled. |
CR318064 |
Expression-based visitor roles, which use multiple-user property-set values, may return a false negative, preventing a visitor from correctly assuming the role. If a visitor role has multiple property-based conditions OR'd together, and if any of the input values (supplied via UUP impl or the default property manager) to a condition are null, the result (and therefore the role) is indeterminate because null is not explicitly checked for. Platform: Occurs only in XACML security providers. Workaround: Always include a default value for property set attributes, so a null is never used during comparisons. |
CR322670 |
Portlet render dependencies do not support fully-qualified URLs to reference HTTP addressable resources. A portlet's render .dependencies file does not support using fully-qualified URLs to reference script, style, and other HTTP addressable resources. For example, a script reference to Google Maps that is defined in a .dependencies file will result in an error such as "The look and feel resource at base path <path> could not be found." Platform: All Workaround: Two workarounds are available: The
DynamicHtmlRenderDependencies.add(Script|Link|Style)(...) Note: Use of this approach is limited if multiple portlets attempt to load the same resource. If this is the case loading duplicated resources in this way should be protected against in JavaScript or should be avoided. |
CR339012 |
REST requires fine granularity to determine who can create new library portlets. REST requires a fine granularity to control the ability for end users to create new library portlets. Platform: All Workaround: Use the rest-config.xml or web.xml file as follows:

Default polling changed from 3 to 5 seconds. The default polling interval has been increased. This interval is set in the system property: -Dcom.bea.p13n.management.ApplicationFilePoller.sleepInterval Platform: All Workaround: None. |
CR340097 |
Icons do not to render in Portal Administration Console tools when a space exists in the name of a Portal EAR project. For example, if there is a space in the name of a Portal EAR project, icons in the console do not appear in the Create Desktop wizard and the administration console displays missing icon errors: <Aug 30, 2007 1:33:00 PM MDT> <Error> <netuix> <BEA-423139> <The look and feel resource wlp-help-16.gif could not be found in the path /framework/skins/default/images.> Platform: All Workaround: Remove any spaces in the Portal EAR project name. |
CR342124 |
JSF validation does not work with the portal namingContainer tag and causes IllegalStateException: Client-id. A known problem exists in some versions of JSF 1.1, where the sequence number used to generate IDs for components that do not specify their own client ID is not reset. This eventually results in the IllegalStateException in cases where a MyFaces page is re-rendered and there is no navigational rule defined. Platform: All Workaround: Several workarounds are available:
Note: No portal behavior changes due to this problem. |
CR342843 |
Cannot remove title bar from Java Portlets (JSR-168). The title bar cannot be removed from Java Portlets (JSR-168). Platform: All Workaround: Use the borderless theme on your portlet to remove the title bar. |
CR344368 |
Different bean instances are used for JSF than for JSTL tags using jsp:useBean. If a JSF portlet attempts to integrate JSTL tags with JSF managed beans using Platform: All Workaround: This is due to the fact that <jsp:scriptlet> javax.faces.context.FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().get Application(). getVariableResolver().resolveVariable(javax.faces.context .FacesContext. getCurrentInstance(), 'myVar'); </jsp:scriptlet> |

When an Apache MyFaces is the underlying JSF implementation provider, invalidating the session results in an IllegalStateException. In a JSF portlet that uses Apache MyFaces as the underlying JSF implementation provider, invalidating the session in JSF application logic results in an IllegalStateException following the processing of the JSF action. Platform: All Workaround: Use one of the following methods:

When publishing a portlet, publishing service does not properly reflect themes from publishing contexts. If a portlet instance is influenced by a theme, render dependencies may not properly reflect the influence of the theme. Subsequently, the published version of the portlet will not correctly render the theme. This applies to portlets published in API and URL modes. Portlets published in full URL mode will not include visual aspects of the theme. Platform: All Workaround: There is no known workaround for this issue. |
CR359073 |
Harmless error message logged by Lease Manager. The following error message is logged by Lease Manager, which is harmless and can be ignored. <BEA-403302> <An unexpected SQL exception occurred java.sql.SQLException: Data exception -- row already exist in index PK_LEASE on table P13N_LEASE. The error is logged only in cluster environment when two or more nodes are concurrently trying to acquire the same lease. Platform: All, in a clustered environment. Workaround: None, not required. |
CR359274 |
Asynchronous JavaScript imports via XIE may cause Internet Explorer 7 to hang if referenced script does not exist. If portlet content or render dependencies are loaded via XIE that refer to an external JavaScript resource that does not exist, or may otherwise fail to load, XIE lifecycle processing in Internet Explorer 7+ will hang. This is because XIE attempts to mimic initial browser loading behavior by executing scripts serially, even when such scripts are fetched asynchronously by the browser, as with IE7+. If the attempt to load the script fails (typically because it does not exist), IE7+ halts advancement of the readyState field for that script at "loading" and produces no error message. Platform: All Workaround: Ensure that .js files referenced in this way exist at the specified path. |
CR367450 |
Content Presenter Preview Mode will not show Theme changes. Content Presenter's Preview Mode shows the current user a preview of how the portlet will render with the current wizard settings. However, in this release the Preview Mode will not show changes to the Theme setting. To see the effect of your Theme selection, please save the changes made in the wizard. Platform: All Workaround: Save your changes to see your Theme applied. |
CR378287 |
Problems on Linux platform when using drag and drop operations in portal editors. There are known problems dragging and dropping components when multiple portal (or other associated portal artifact) editors are opened simultaneously. This problem is only applicable to the Linux platform. Drag and drop operations targeting the active (visible) portal editor will be mishandled and incorrectly delivered to the underlying inactive (not visible) portal editor tab. This problem has been noted both when dragging components from the workshop design palette over to a portal editor or when using drag and drop to reposition components within a portal editor. Platform: Enterprise Linux 5 Workaround: Close other inactive open editor tabs such that you are only working with ONE open portal (or other associated portal artifact) editor at a time. |
CR378460 |
Non-web facets are displayed when modifying the facets of a project that had facet install failures during creation. During project creation, if a facet failed to install, the wizard for modifying the project's facets available from the project properties will show non-web facets which are not valid for the project. The wizard won't let you select those facets and their appearance is harmless. Platform: All Workaround: Ignore the additional facets. |
CR379143 |
No JSP created when a Page Flow Portlet is created via the Portlet Wizard. If you use the Portlet Wizard to create a Page Flow portlet, the appropriate home jsp is not created. For example, if you create a page flow /my/Flow.jpf, then that page flow will point to a default JSP at /my/flow.jsp. However, the wizard will not create this JSP file. Platform: All Workaround: Manually create the jsp. Or, create the page flow first, using the page flow creation wizard, and then create the portlet from the page flow. |
8880107 |
Inlined portlets are not automatically disassembled into the database, so inlined portlets should not be used in a portal that will be used to create a streaming desktop. An inlined portlet is a portlet whose markup is included directly in the placeholder element of a Platform: All Workaround: Do not use If your desktop is already created then you can fix the missing inlined portlets by creating a portlet file for each missing inlined portlet (using the IDE) and then add them to your desktop in the Web based Portal Administration Tools. |

Extra Sessions are created on the producer. Extra HTTP sessions are created on the producer when fetching the WSDL, getting the service description and managing proxied portlets and when releasing sessions. Customers have reporting seeing between 16 and 250 extra sessions on their producers. While these sessions are small and will time-out they may cause performance degradation. Platform: All platforms.

Pageflow portlets using JSF pages do not render content. If a pageflow uses JSF pages for its content, these pages might not render when the pageflow is used as a portlet. Platform: All Workaround: Don't use JSF pages for pageflows. By default, JSF pages are created when using the New Page Flow wizard in a JSF-enabled web project. If you do not need JSF in your webapp, do not enable the JSF project facet when creating the project via the Modify facets button; alternatively, use the "WebLogic Portal Beehive Web Project Facets" preset when creating web project. If the JSF facets is already enabled in the project, it can disabled via the Project Facets Properties page on the project. If JSF is required in other parts of the project, create the pageflow via the New Portlet wizard when you create the pageflow portlet. Or, you can edit the forward path in the pageflow to point directly to the JSP and edit the generated JSP to not use JSF. |

Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V (Copy, Cut, Paste) keyboard shortcuts don't work in Weblogic Portal IDE dialogs that are implemented using Swing/AWT. There has been an Eclipse bug filed against Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) which states that Swing text components hosted over the Eclipse SWT_AWT bridge do not receive the proper key event sequence when the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V (Copy, Cut, Paste) keyboard shortcuts are used. To be more specific, the KEY_PRESSED and KEY_TYPED events are not being fired during the key sequence. As a result the key bindings for (Copy, Cut, Paste) operations are ignored. This does not effect text components implemented natively in the Eclipse SWT technology. For futher details please refer to the following Eclipse bug report:

Served resources functionality over WSRP using local proxy contains outages. JSR286 portlets that have serve resource functionality (implement the serveResource method) may see outages when run over WSRP via local proxy. These outages include the use of URL parameters on the ResourceURL during file upload and ResourceURL.setSecure(). In the case of the URL parameters, if the serveResource() call is uploading a file and parameters are set on the ResourceURL, the parameters are not sent to the producer as expected. For ResourceURL.setSecure(), if the serveResource request is sent over local proxy, a new session is created, which causes the producer to return an InvalidSession fault to the consumer. Platform: All platforms Workaround: Run WSRP JSR286 portlets with serveResource implementations through remote proxy. |

Autonomy full-text search using notEquals or isNull with nested properties in a query does not include "parent property does not exist" results. All the possible nested values for a type are not indexed if they do not exist. Therefore, when searching for null or notEquals on a nested property name, the results will only contain values that are null or notEquals to the nested property name that was indexed. For example, a node of type "planet" contains one or more instances of type "continent". Each node of type "continent" contains one or more instances of type "country". In this case planet Earth would have a nested property of "continent[0].country[0].name" equal to Nigeria, while planet Mars would not have any continents or countries. Subsequently there would not be any nested properties of that name indexed for Mars. Platform: All Workaround: Use an inverse search. The original query would look like this: IMetadataQuery mQuery = FullTextQueryFactory.getMetadataQuery(); IMetadataQueryParameter ftqp = mQuery.buildNotEquals('continent[0].country[0].name', 'Nigeria'); ftqp.setMultiplicity(IMetadataQuery.Multiplicity.multiValued); IFullTextSearch fullTextSearch = FullTextSearchFactory.buildFullTextSearch(ftqp, null, false); Search search = new Search(repositoryPath, -1, null, fullTextSearch, true); IPagedList<Node> nodes = searchManager.search(context, search); That query will return no nodes. But, if you created an inverse query like this: IMetadataQuery mQuery = FullTextQueryFactory.getMetadataQuery(); IMetadataQueryParameter mqp1 = mQuery.buildEquals('continent[0].country[0].name', 'Nigeria'); mqp1.setMultiplicity(IMetadataQuery.Multiplicity.multiValued); IMetadataQueryParameter mqp2 = mQuerymQuery.buildNotNull('continent'); mqp1.setMultiplicity(IMetadataQuery.Multiplicity.multiValued); IMetadataQueryParameter mqp3 = mQuery.buildIsNull('continent'); mqp1.setMultiplicity(IMetadataQuery.Multiplicity.multiValued); |

CR Bridge: JCR property value constraints not visible in WebLogic Portal property choices. When using the CM JCR Bridge, JCR property value constraints are not currently exposed in WebLogic Portal property choices. This limitation is present because some property value constraints, such as regular expressions and built-in repository constraints, cannot be resolved to a specific value.

Sample domains are pre-populated with ObjectClasses that do not necessarily conform to file system repository data types. When using a file system repository, ObjectClasses are limited to only a single binary property. Some of the available out-of-the-box ObjectClasses have multiple binary properties, such as book. This makes it appear that it is possible to create a node in the file system repository of that type. However, internal validation code in the file system repository prevents this. Platform: All Workaround: None. When using the file system repository, nodes cannot be assigned an ObjectClass having multiple binary properties. |

Error retrieving empty InputStreams from Sybase. Whenever a user tries to store an empty input stream or a zero-byte file via WebDAV in content management, the code converts it into a zero-byte input stream and stores it in the database. However, when the data is retrieved, the database does not return an empty input stream, but returns a null. Content management then traps that null and throws an error to the user.

The Export/Import Utility provides limited support for localization of portlet instances at an admin level scope. Scoping a book or page with a new locale to the library level is working. When the .pinc is exported/imported in the new locale, the new locale with new title is picked up by the WebLogic Portal Administration Console and L10N tables are updated in the database. However, this is not working for localizing a portlet instance scoped to the admin level. The imported locale is not reflected in the WebLogic Portal Administration Console for the portlet, but the L10N database tables are updated. Platform: All Workaround: Avoid using the admin level of scoping if you want to localize portlet instances. |
CR217712 |
In the Export/Import Utility, locale resource descriptions are not being propagated to the .pinc file. The locale description of a book or page is not getting output to the .pinc file. Thus, an administrator is able to localize only the artifact's title and not it's description. Platform: All Workaround: Manually add the locale description after exporting/importing the book or page. |
CR217766 |
In the Export/Import Utility, new resources are not imported correctly when first importing in a foreign locale. For example, if you do not have all you resources localized to a specific locale (for example, "es") and you export a desktop in locale "es", then the resources that do not have a resource (title) in "es" will do a best match algorithm. That best match could be a title in "en" (English) Upon re-import to the destination you are telling the XIP utility that everything is in "es" and therefore it erroneously added 'en' titles in "es". Platform: All Workaround: Make sure all your resources have been localized in the locale you want to export. For example, first re-import the modified .portal file in the default en (English) locale and then import the modified .portal file again in the "es" (Spanish) locale. |
CR222321 |
A placeholder lock is propagated only for the current "page view" of the layout. The Propagation Utility can track only the placeholders of the currently selected layout from the page "view." Due to this, only the locks (set using Entitlements) on the placeholders in the currently selected layout can be propagated. Propagation of locks on other layouts is not possible. Platform: All Workaround: Review propagation results and manually update any necessary placeholder locks. |

WebLogic Portal Analytics reports for Desktop, Pages, and Portlets with the same title but from different web applications are indistinguishable. Analytic reports do not identify which WebLogic Portal web application sourced a particular usage event.

Large Content Exports via Propagation May Throw TimeOutExceptions. When exporting content, if a parent (folder) contains a large number of children (greater than 2000), a weblogic.transaction.internal.TimedOutException can appear.

ScenarioService error message observed during propagation of content management resources. While propagating content management resources, the following error message may be observed in the console or server log files: <ScenarioService: Error getting user profile wrapper: weblogic> This error is caused by a campaign event firing when a content management resource, such as a node or type, is saved by propagation. The scenario service attempts to fetch the profile of the current user (the propagation user) when it does not exist. Propagation of the content resource should still complete successfully. However, it is likely that the event logic is failing to complete successfully. Platform: All Workaround: Disable event handling during propagation. |
