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);

Search Tips in Aras Innovator

In "Jus Ask Innoavtor", we could learn some tips for querying data in simple search mode. But I would use those tips with examples to make it easier to understand. Suppose there are 5 records in my database. Exact String Matching Input words or terms without any special symbol will execute exact string matching. Input "A0119B/11101", 1 record returned. Input "A0119B", nothing returned. Input "11101", nothing returned. Approximate String Matching Use "*" or "%" as wildcard character to execute approximate string matching.

Regular Expression Matching Use square brackets with simple regular expression to execute a query is acceptable, all allowed terms (which are tested by myself and refer to this article ) are sh...
