3322375 - SuccessFactors blank page when working with multiple tabs

Symptom

The customer works with multiple tabs, and after he spend some time in a page, the other ones became blank and needs to be reloaded

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access the instance
  2. Open multiple tabs
  3. Wait for a while
  4. change for any tab
  5. See that the tabs are blank

Cause

This is caused by a feature of the newest version of the browsers

Resolution

This issue is because the browsers Edge and Chrome have a trend to free up system resource of inactive tabs for complex pages.

This is a browser `limitation or feature` which cannot be fixed by code change from SF end.

For the newest Edge and Chrome, please disable the following options to reduce the possibility the issue happening. They could be found in their Settings page.

Chrome:Three dots > Performance >  Memory Saver and Energy Saver (Disable it)
Edge: Three dots > Settings > System and Performance >  Efficiency mode, > Save resources with sleeping tab (Disable it).

Doing these steps the issue should be fixed, but if the issue is not fixed, there is nothing that we can do, because it`s a limitation/feature of the browser itself
