Explorer folders not appearing when accessing eB externally

Hi Bentley and the Forum,

We are working to get our eB instance v15.4.1 to be external via a gateway and we can log into eB all OK but we are finding that we cannot see our search folders and reports within the Explorer menu. It just appears blank. Do you have any idea why this could be happening and what needs to be done to fix it?

Many thanks,

Julie

  • Hello Julie,

    How about other objects under Explorer menu? Are these reports SSRS type or it's just eB reports (eql)?

    Regards
    Gintautas



  • Hi Gintautas, hope you are well.


    We have some folders and some search reports on their own but both don't come up. It just appears blank in the box where the "tree" should be. No, they are standard eB eQL type reports.
    Thank you!!

  • Thank you Gintautas. We are continuing to investigate with our suppliers Atos who look after the external gateway and this information will be very helpful.
  • Hi Gintautas and the team,

    Since this request for help, we have done some testing of our own!

    We have found that this explorer issue where the search folders/reports do not appear occurs on our personal machines where either Windows 7 64-Bit IEv11 or Windows 7 64-Bit Firefox v33 is used. It actually worked OK with older versions of IE and older versions of the Windows platform on our personal machines.

    Has eB Insight v15.4.1 been tested on Windows 7 64-Bit machines?

    Also, has eB Insight v15.4.1 been tested on different versions newer than IE8?

    We want to see if our eB will only work properly with IE8 or less on our Windows 7 64-Bit machines.

    Many thanks, best wishes,

    Julie

  • Hi Julie, here is the list of the supported software for v 15.4.1.  There are known issues with IE 9,10,&11 for v15.4.1 so they are NOT supported.  IE11 will be supported in our upcoming v16 in December.

    -Derek



  • Thank you Derek!! That makes more sense now. What versions of IE will work for eB Insight v15.6.1 please? Thank you!!
  • Hi Julie here is all of the supported software versions for 15.6.1.  I made BOLD the web browser section for you.
