Known problems

Split HTML output does not display correctly for Internet Explorer 11. To work around this problem:
  • Load the result in a web server.
  • Use the non-split HTML output
  • Use browsers that do not restrict this content from loading (for example Mozilla Firefox)
When you generate a document, performance might degrade under these conditions:
  • If the document specification contains more tables than paragraphs or lists
  • If the template contains scripted sorts and filters
  • If multiple requests to the data are required
To avoid performance degradation:
  • Minimize the use of tables
  • Replace scripted sorts and filters by native sorts or filters wherever possible
  • Minimize the number of requests from the template to the data source

Additional known problems are documented in the form of individual technotes in the Support knowledge base. As problems are discovered and resolved, the IBM Support team updates the knowledge base. By searching the knowledge base, you can quickly find workarounds or solutions to problems.
