Fix Aras Innovator Dashboard Cannot Display in Chrome

Dashboard is a built-in function on Aras Innovator which can perform data visualization with simple configuration.
If enter any of existing Dashboard with Chrome, "HTTP Error 500 - Internal Server Error" will show. But using IE and Firefox are OK.
It's a little strange due to the error detail shows the requested URL is a directory named "_src_" (shown as below figure). Actually, this kind of directory doesn't exist on server.


Check "Dashboard.html" can find the attribute "src" of embed tag is dynamically set by JavaScript in order to get multilingual resource (shown as below figure). The code seems correct but not work in Chrome actually.
According to the discussion on Stak Overflow, dynamically change attribute "src" of embed tag is a very old bug. It looks like not fixed until now.


Solution

  1. Open "\Innovator\Client\scripts\Dashboard.html".
  2. Move to Line 211.
  3. Replace all contents of script scope with below code.
  4. Save file.

var xmlResource = aras.getI18NXMLResource("starter.svg");
var obj = document.getElementById("svg_span");

var embed = obj.getElementsByTagName("embed")[0];
embed.src = xmlResource;

obj.removeChild(embed);
obj.style.display = "block";
obj.appendChild(embed);

Trigger Sequence of Promotion Events in Aras Innovator

There are several Server Event could trigger Method during item promotion: ItemType: OnBeforePromote, OnAfterPromote; Life Cycle: Transition Pre, Transition Post. Trigger sequence of above events is shown in below figure: It's important to note that "Transition Post" cannot rollback while exception throws because item promotion is finished after "OnAfterPromote" That means even if throwing exception, the life cycle will still stay at promoted state. Please note, all above events will not be triggered when "OnPromote" event exists (due to this will overwrite original system process).
