Hello Orit,
The Google Chrome 56 bug with SAP Portal is a major issue for my company.
SAP released 2 notes (2372722 and 2421240) describing the issue. They both claims the solution to the problem is in the latest EP-RUNTIME patch but you are linking us to a Chrome forum (687061) where Google is investigating and possibly working in a solution as well.
It will take us some time to implement any patch in the Portal so should I expect to have any new version of Chrome with a fix for this issue in the next days?
Is SAP working with Google to find a solution to this issue in the browser side?
Best regards,
Fabricio Pereira
Hello Fabricio,
The 2 notes you had mentioned (2372722 and 2421240) are not related to Google bug I had mentioned in my blog. The issue you had mentioned was caused due to changed behavior in Chrome 54. Google decided not to change it back (refer to Issue 650156 ) therefore SAP provided the fix instead (in SAP note #2372722). This fix is required from Chrome 54 and up.
The issue I had mentioned in my blog is a different issue (Google issue 687061),which has a significant impact on performance. Google is handling this issue and approved the merge into Chrome 56 so it is expected to be available in a few days.
Hope it is clearer now.
Regards, Orit
Hi Orit,
We are also facing issue in Chrome 56 version due to which our ESS/MSS portal page is not getting load.
As per SAP note 2421240, issue is under investigation by Chrome development team. We have also not planned to update EP-RUNTIME. So requesting you to confirm if Chrome development team will take care of this issue in new version or else we should update EP-RUNTIME and its dependencies.
Hi Rajkumar,
Please refer to the answer I provided to Fabricio above.

Hi Rajkumar,
Google planned to merge the fix early, but since the change was too large, it introduced a lot of risk, therefore, unfortunately the fix will be available only at M58. Please refer to Google issue 687061).
