Why does Empower sometimes require a user to sign-off twice before it accepts the sign-off? Or there is a lag after sign off- WKB75714
Article number: 75714
SYMPTOMS
- Empower sometimes requires a user to sign-off a result twice before it accepts the sign-off
- There is a lag after you sign off the results before the report is created
ENVIRONMENT
- Empower 3 FR4
- Citrix
- Some users, not all
CAUSE
The system does not have access to the user's temp folder on the Citrix server when the sign-off PDF is being written.
FIX or WORKAROUND
- Ensure that the Empower system policy "Save report image (as PDF) after Sign Off" is enabled.
- On all of the Empower Citrix servers, create a common TEMP folder, and then go to Windows Control Panel > System properties > Advanced > Environmental Variables and point the TEMP User variables path to the common TEMP folder that was created for all users.
- Reboot the Citrix server after making the change.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The default Temp folder is located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp.
The Temp folder has System, Users and Administrators permissions set to Full Control by default.
Other workarounds to minimize the issue:
Minimize report sizes and the number of pages or utilize full Empower clients for sign off activities.
Increase the amount of RAM size on the Citrix servers
