Hello we have here the following Situation.
We have a big XI 3.1 Business Objects Platform running.
Also we have in our company net a portal in which the users can open reports from our BO platform.
This is done by usercustomized open document urls.
That al works fine.
Thing is, when a user requests the report, the Internet Explorer opens a new window which is blank. The Window can be seen for a second. Then the new window goes to the background behind the current window. After several seconds when in the new window the report starts to regenerate itself the window goes back to the front and the report is displayed.
And that behaviour confuses our user quite a lot.
The behaviour can be seen in IE 6 and 8. Firefox does not show this behavior.
IE9 wasn't tested.
So, does anyone know if there is an IE setting, or part of the Open document url which can change the behavior so that the new indow just apears and then stay apeared?
Changing the browser to firefox or IE9 is not an option because we are talking about 30k pc-clients.
This behaviour should be fixed in Sp3 and later patches.
p.s.
IE9 is not yet supported

Here is an example URL. I have made the servername and parameters in italics.
Im not responsible for the deployment of the war files. But it was seen that after the update of the SP3 old opendoc syntax caused problems in other opendoc calls and was changed. So I assume that the war was deployed.
https://*serverurl*/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?token=*servername:port*@*something-something*&sWindow=New&reportType=FullClient&ls*Parameter1*=*parameterstring*;&iDocID=*IdocID of the Report*&sWindow=Same
Actually after seeing the opendoc-string im surprised of the double use of the &sWindow parameter.

yes, me too
Actualy, the product direction is to remove sWindow parameter from OpenDoc syntax completely. for some reason I was under impression it was done in Sp3....
The Window in which opendoc opens the report should be controled outside of the opendoc call. using either script or HTTP syntax...
