Situation

The Java applets which facilitate the use of the 'drag-and-drop file upload', 'edit-in-place' and 'workflow-viewer' features in Vibe expired on June 4, 2016. These applets have been updated to renew the validity until August 1, 2018 via this patch.

c. Unable to view the workflow preview in the workflow designer
