My customer is in the cloud and we are seeing this issue get worse. You can be in a session actively working on something and it times out on you…boots you right out! It’s frustrating!
Do you have a problem number or hotfix for 2024.1? We have the same issue on-prem
The hotfix @mbayley posed is only for 2023.2
our cam replied that no customers are experiencing this issue, even though screenshots of this thread were provided…
I wasn’t given a problem number for their hotfix.
Their hotfix removes the getServerCurrentTime
method and IsTokenValid
request from the javascript. I think you are fairly safe to short circuit that method as I’ve done above (assuming this is the same issue in 2024.1).
I still haven’t seen the bugfix in the release notes.
I honestly dont see why this would only impact on-prem like support is suggesting. I dont even see the hotfix available to download for on-prem customers on Epicweb, like other hotfixes.
Open Devtools and within sources search for “DUMMY_TOKEN” in main.86964f04c6bb2034.js. If you get 1 result, you likely will have the same issue (using Azure AD or Epicor Idp).
Yes, that’s how ours looked like in 2023.2.26. Escalate your case if you haven’t already. Tell them to look at CS0004563483
Awesome, thank you! Great work identifying this issue!!! We are still fighting on the price of the additional licenses we had to purchase.
That sucks. I hope they make it right for you.
I’ll keep this post updated when I see a bugfix come through.
No, we don’t have a hotfix.
Beth can you have your customer check the above? The main script in dev tools? The number may be different but it should just start with main.
Now that this thread has been going on a while, I remembered we had to buy a few more around this time as well. We were getting close anyway, but I bet this was part of the reason we needed it as well.
We actually need them now though, so for us it’s a wash I guess.
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to provide some info I got from support yesterday regarding a timeline on this issue being fixed for customers that are on the cloud and using Kinetic.
There’s a planned fix for this in 2024.1.15 that’s being deployed in the next two weeks. Here’s a screenshot of the entry on the changelog for the upcoming release:
The hotfix was mentioned by support when we were discussing the issue, but I guess it doesn’t work with our environment since we are using IdP logins.
I don’t know if this addresses all of the issues at hand regarding what everyone has been experiencing, but it seems like it will correct the random timeouts/multiple licenses being consumed by a single user that’s been ongoing for quite awhile now.
I’m not sure what the long term resolution is going to be for anyone who is on a 2023 instance/on-prem/Classic. Hopefully this applies across the board for everyone. (Wishful thinking )
If I get any additional info from them I’ll be sure to give a heads up here as soon as I hear back again!
So does this patch fix it for IdP users whereas the hotfix didn’t?
Am I understanding that correctly?
That’s the way I understand it. I ran the hotfix that support provided a couple weeks back, and it got things working for a couple days but by the end of the week it was back to happening again unfortunately.
I inquired if they had updated the hotfix at all as to make it a more permanent solution but never really got a firm answer on it and was pointed to the upcoming update for next steps.
That’s weird. Did you update to another version after applying the hotfix? I believe the hotfix would have to be reapplied if so.
We have decided to hold all updates until we see the permanent fix in the change log.
