Using Edge Browser Concurrent Program Output Saving as FNDWRR.txt

SYMPTOMS:

Using Edge browser when concurrent program output is saved the output file name defaulting to FNDWRR.txt.This is happening only for txt format output type files.

Expected Behaviour:

When concurrent program output is saved the file name should default with program name.

Eg: For Active User concurrent program the Output should be Active_Users.txt

STEPS:

The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

Using Edge Browser Connect to EBS application
Navigate to System administrator responsibility
Submit Active User concurrent Program
Click On view Output
Program output open in edge browser.
Save the output using option Ctrl+S

This issue is only for output format of type txt and only in Edge browser. Other browsers like the IE, Chrome the concurrent program outputs were getting saved with expected file naming convention.

Reason:

Edge browser failed to convert the output file name when using existing viewer options setup for txt output type files.

SOLUTION:

To implement the solution test the following setups:

Navigate to System Administrator responsibility
Install — Viewer option
Add new entry as below.

File Format = Text

Mime type = Application/Txt

Description = Text File

Select Allow Native encoding checkbox

Using System administrator responsibility Navigate to User — Profile form
Update profile ‘Viewer: Application for Text’ value to Text File.
Logout and re-login to EBS application.
Retest the issue.

If we need in csv format then

1. Create new Viewer Options for text output as below from System Administrator responsibility --> Install --> Viewer Options

File Format: Text
Mime Type: application/vnd.ms-excel
Description: Microsoft Excel
Allow Native Client Encoding: Check the box

2. Change the Profile ' Viewer Application For Text' to Microsoft Excel at site level
