Problem Description:

Problem is described in following Doc ID

MAP VIEW SHOWS SERIES OF ERRORS In IE 9 And 10 Browser Version (Doc ID 1627164.1)

Solution:

Bug 18177418    - MVMAPVIEW.PROTOTYPE.REMOVEMAPDECORATION EXCEPTION AT “THIS.BASE_DIV.REMOVECHILD

Apply following patch

Oracle FMW MapViewer patch 18274773 for OBIEE 11.1.1.7

Tracking bug #: 18274773

Base bug #: 18177418

This patch includes a single file, oraclemaps.js which contains the fix

for the above base bug.  This file should replace an existing file with

the same name inside the MapViewer instance of OBIEE.

Assuming OBIEE is installed in a directory such as /app/oracle/biee,

to apply this patch you need to put the fixed file in two places:

Location 1:

/app/oracle/biee/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/jee/mapviewer.ear/web.war/fsmc/jslib

and

Location 2:

/app/oracle/biee/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/stage/mapviewer (11.1.7.2)/mapviewer.war/fsmc/jslib

Note that the exact location and version number might be slightly different, and location 2 may not always be present (in which case it can be skipped).

The original oraclemaps.js should be renamed and backed up.

Once the new file is copied to these locations, restart the WLS servers.

Note:

Please clear browser cache before you retest the application post patch implementation else you will encounter the same issue.

Additional Recommendation:

You may also consider upgrading your OBIEE Mapviewer to 11.1.1.7.3 to avoid any additional browser issue in Firefox or Chrome. Firefox and chrome browser may not show the map outline and coloring and upgrading to mapviewer 11.1.1.7.3 should fix those issues as well.
