To enable EPM System Web applications to function properly, Internet Explorer must be configured to enable support for ActiveX technologies.
EPM System products do not download ActiveX components to the browser. Instead, only HTML, JavaScript, and XML are sent to and by the client browser.
Guidelines to enable XML components:
In the Web browser security settings, enable ActiveX controls and plug-in execution by setting “Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins” to “Enable.”
Enable ActiveX controls and plug-in execution by adding the Project Reporting and Analysis site as a trusted site and changing the custom security settings for trusted sites.
Provide group policies that define the controls required for handling XML (the MS XML parser and XMLHTTPRequest controls) and enable these administrator approved controls for all sites or for select trusted sites.
All other ActiveX controls and plug-ins remain disabled. Group policies can be implemented by zone by enabling the controls for sites in the trusted zone.
For Active X enabled controls, enable the setting “Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.”
