IE8 hangs on large imports
Valid from Pega Version 7.1.1
IE8 users may experience a hung process when running the Designer Studio > Application > Distribution > Import wizard. This issue is related to low-capacity networks and large (300+ MB) archive files.
Although the processing symbol prevents you from proceeding to the next step in the wizard, the file is still imported to the server. As a workaround, you can:
- Wait approximately eight minutes for the file to import.
- Close and restart the wizard.
- Click Next to skip the upload step.
- Select the name of your file from the list of import files.
- Complete the remaining steps in the wizard.
