Click on another tab The following message is shown: Your current page contains unsaved data. Do you want to continue with navigation and open a new window? OK or Cancel. Click OK - the application is opened in a second tab, the first tab remains active in edit mode and that record continues to be locked by the user.
Area of Interest: SAP NW Portal
Why: The Work Protect Mode options displayed in the popup are determined by the configurations maintained in the EPCF Service.
Overcoming this: Go to: System Administration -> System Configuration -> Service Configuration -> Applications -> com.sap.portal.epcf.loader - > Services -> epcfloader. Set Workprotect.mode.default to one of the following values which suits the scenario requirement: (a) Protect unsaved data (open page in new window) (b) Discard unsaved data (open page in same window (c) Choose action in popup on unsaved data.
