Summary Workaround

MHT-based scorecards do not open in Mozilla Firefox.

To allow users to view an MHT-based scorecard, users must install the UnMHT addon in Firefox. This can be downloaded from:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unmht/

The UnMHT addon does not fully support MHT-based scorecards, therefore users may notice some issues with formatting and some embedded images may not be present.

When exporting a scope of diagrams to XML using an existing CSF file from a previous version, you may receive the error below. This is due to the new folder virtualization that's been implemented in v9.

"Error: Specified map <map name> cannot be exported because it does not exist."

To rectify this you must edit your old CSF files. Instructions on how to create and structure CSF files can be found in the TIBCO Nimbus Administration Guide (under Administration/Importing and Exporting/Exporting Diagrams to XML).

Intermittent failure of web page requests due to exception class 'EScriptError' and error type 'is null or not an object'.

To fix this problem on Windows Server 2008 R2 you can install Internet Explorer 9, then install the security update 'Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 in Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (KB2618444)'.
