Environment
Internet Explorer (IE) 7
Novell iChain 2.3 Support Pack 5a
Novell iChain 2.3 Support Pack 4
Situation
The debug log option (displays the abend.log file from sys:\system)
under system/actions can not be opened in IE7. It attempts to open
the page, but then beeps and closes it. This has the appearance of
a popup blocker, but I have that disabled and it still has the
problem. I also tried to open the upgrade log, and that one opens
fine, so the problem is confined to just the debug log. I am able
to open this log with IE6 as well as with firefox.
Resolution
Set a custom security level under the IE7 preferences/options, and
under the downloads section enable the "Automatically prompting for
file downloads" setting - the default security settings for IE7
were causing this problem.
