MSK HEAP Issue

Problem

Original Post:

This is a “bug report” disguised as a How-To. At MSK we have an issue that HEAP corrupted a user download from within one of our applications. A developer walked me through this (I have a recording of this conversation that I can show you, fyi) where HEAP attached an ID to a download, when thereby made that element invisible to the download registrar – making that file not found.

Before I go down the rabbit hole, I wanted to see if HEAP has an exception feature where we can identify a trigger or element and tagged it as “do not track” – thinking that might be a easy solution to this issue – maybe.

When talking to the main developer (see video), he indicated that HEAP adds something to the BLOB that makes the download fail.

Possible Solution A

In short, yes. You can add the heap-ignore attribute to an element to prevent Heap from capturing that element.
