  • 1.  Info.js - 9.0.5

    Posted 07/17/18 06:25 PM
    Hello,

    We had issues with firefox browser while loading info.js, so IBM suggested us to use 9.0.5 info.js . When going through that latest info.js file we see this @ATTRIBUTES@
    Can anyone tell us what this means and how to use it? can we just ignore this from info.js?

    Hello Sairam.

    What version of ISAM are you using the 9.0.5 version of info.js with?

    @ATTRIBUTES@ is a macro, so the client browser wont see this in its 'raw' form.  If you load info.js via the browser, you'll see that it should be substituted with configuration values.

    For example, this same macro is present in ISAM 9.0.4 info.js and at runtime it's substituted with 
    var browserPlugins = true;
    var deviceFonts = true; 

    These two items are attributes in the out of the box Browser Risk Profile and correspond to Attributes that will be used with the Risk Calculator PIP (i.e. when using Risk Score in an AAC Policy).

    You'll note then, if you search the source of info.js there is conditions that check for browserPlugins and deviceFonts and add these to the JSON that is sent to the Attribute Collection Service.

    First of will be to check it's substituted correctly and returned to the browser as valid JS and not the literal macro text.

    Next is to determine which Risk Profile you have active and if the attributes from your Risk Profile are required in your Risk Calculation.

    Of course, if there's no errors and it works in Firefox now with your current configuration, you don't need to do anything!

    If there is still an issue, then a PMR/Support Ticket is the best way to resolve to ensure it's actively worked and monitored.
