Error description

  • In IBM Process Portal, iFrames are used to display dashboards,
    such as the Work dashboard, Process Instance dashboard. So
    whenever the user clicks one of the links, the page inside the
    particular iFrame is replaced by a different page. All these
    pages use asynchronous backend requests (XHR) to retrieve data
    from the IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) server (for example,
     a list of available tasks or the available actions per task for
     the Work dashboard). Browsers behave differently when a page is
     replaced by a new page when XHRs are executed. In Process
    Portal, just as a  warning, you see an error message stating
    that there was an error connecting to the server.
