Environment

Products:

Novell iManager 2.5

Situation

Attempts to create new property book page with Novell iManager 2.5 and Internet Explorer throws a blank page and the new property book page is not created.

Resolution

Internet Explorer has a URL length limitation of 2083 characters. On creating a new property book, Novell iManager 2.5 generates a URL with a list of all modules in the current collection. If this URL is greater than 2083 characters, the property book creation fails and Internet Explorer throws a blank page.

The problem is addressed with Novell iManager 2.6 and later releases.

Workaround:

With Novell iManager 2.5, use the Mozilla Firefox browser to create the new property book since Mozilla Firefox has a higher URL length limitation.
