Change Tracking & Review Panel

[Johannab_31]

Hello,

We are upgrading from Oxygen Web Author V19.1 to V23.1

After the upgrade the Review Panel on the right-hand side stopped updating when a change was made to the DITA while in Change Tracking Mode.

We don't have any customization of the Change Tracking functionality (I think). Our options.xml file has the following setting

<entry>
<String>track.changes.initial.state</String>
<Integer>2</Integer>
</entry>

Looking at the browser debugging console we have the JS error

Code: Select all

Uncaught TypeError: this.markersModel_.getSelectedMarker is not a function.... review-side-panel.min.js:5:84

This seems to be the result of a security issue. Is there some security setting we need to set somewhere?

Many Thanks for your help,

Johanna (SAP)

Hello,

From the limited information about the error it seems that you are using a file called "review-side-panel.min.js" that is not part of the Web Author distribution. Some information may be useful to troubleshoot the problem:

• Do you have a custom plugin or framework with JS code for Web Author?

• If yes, do you happen to call non-API methods from Web Author?

• You can try to remove all the custom JS code (now I expect that Web Author works) and add it piece by piece until you Web Author does not start anymore and this way you can find the problematic code.

• Can you share the entire JS stack trace of the error you mentioned above.

Best,
Cristian

Hi Cristian,

Thanks v much for the clue. I was in correct in my post - review-side-panel.min.js is customized code.

Looks like we can fix on our side.

Best,
Johanna

Hello,

While you are still in the upgrade process, I wanted to let you know that we plan to release version 24 of Web Author in October.

If you want to upgrade directly to version 24 you can either wait a month or let us know what Web Author distribution you are using so that we can give you a beta version to try.

Best,
Cristian
