8.3 Naming - Disable or Enable? (2008 R2)

I understand that 8.3 file naming should be disabled when using DFSR, especially with read-only replicas.  And, in general, it's good practice for performance.
BUT, is it really necessary?  I understand it could cause some the outgoing replication folder on a RO DFSR replica may occur, but is this really a problem?  Aside from cosmetic and the fact that it takes up space...
I ask because it's enabled on all my servers, and I'm paraoid that if I enable it, it will cause some programs issues  as we use a ton of different software packages for engineering, and some are quite old....

Hi,
Disable 8.3 filenames or not, it depends on how you plan the directory structure of your file server.
For more detailed information, please see:
Should you disable 8.3 filenames?

  • How to disable and enable a java bean area's visability?

    I have a large javabean area on my initial canvas when first dispalying my form.
    When I use the SHOW_CANVAS('canvas name') to display another canvas, everything looks fine except that the javabean from my previous canvas is still visible and covering up portions of this new canvas.
    So I tried using the set_property visible for the javabean area in the form and it only got rid of the surrounding edge of the javabean area.
    Last I made some set_custom_property values to send to the bean that would then use java calls to enable and disable the beans visability.
    But once the beans visibility was disabled in Java then it wouldn't come back after the calls to enable the visibility and refresh the bean were made through Java calls.
    Is there any other ways of disabling and enabling a java bean area's visability?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Hello,
    Maybe the bean is always display because of its particular paint() method ?
    Anyway, without any reflexion, I could suggest you to set the bean item width and height to 1 pixel when you don't want to display it. (Set_Item_Property)

  • Disable and enable field at runtime in sap crm 2007

    Dear experts!
       I created 2 new fields on Opportunity type by EEWB. The first field is checkbox type, is called FIELD1. The second is dropdown list type, is called FIELD2. My problem is: In general, if FIELD1 is not checked, FIELD2 is disalbe. When i checked FIELD1, FIELD2 is enable, enable to choose a value in dropdown list value of FIELD2. But, i don not know how to do it.  Can you help me resolve this problem?
       Thanks alot!
       Longndtb.

    Thanks Amar Nath and sijokjohn85 for your answer!
       But maybe i have not described clearly to you understand, so your solution has not resolved my problem. I will describe more detail as following:
       - I create 2 transaction type ZOP01 and ZOP02 are BUS200111 object type. And using EEWB to generate 2 fields type input field are ZZFN01 and ZZFN02 on those transaction type. Because 2 Trans type are common component BT111H_OPPT, so 2 fields ZZFN01 and ZZFN02 will display on Web UI together when i create either of 2 trans type. Problem is if i create new opportunity type ZOP01, only ZZFN01 is enable, ZZFN02 is disable. and if i create new opportunity type ZOP02, only ZZFN02 is enable, ZZFN01 is disable. Your solution to resolve this problem. But, i done it, and my thread do not question about  this.
       - My problem is: I create 2 field are ZZFN01 and ZZFN02 on transaction type ZOP01. ZZFN01 is checkbox type, ZZFN02 is dropdown box. (i do not question: How to make ZZFN01 is check box and ZZFN02 is dropdown box, i done it). I want that: when ZZFN01 is not checked, ZZFN02 is disable and when i checked the ZZFN01 then, ZZFN02 goes from disable to enable, immediately? I create method GET_I_ZZFN02, in this method, i put some code lines to check ZZFN01 and return to PA_RETURN_ZZFN01. if (PA_RETURN_ZZFN01 = ' ', then make ZZFN02 is disable. If (PA_RETURN_ZZFN01 = 'X', then make ZZFN02 is enable). when i create new opportunity type ZOP01, the ZZFN01 is not checked, so ZZFN02 is disable, of course. Next, i check ZZFN01, how to method GET_I_ZZFN02 recheck the ZZFN01 to make ZZFN02 is enable? This is my problem, and i question about this! So, can you help me?
       Thanks for your concern!

  • Disabled and enable clips look the same

    Is there a way to change the preferences so that disabled clips show up dark in my timeline? Because right now they are showing up bright regardless of whether they are disabled or enabled?

    I know that's how it's supposed to work but for some reason mine isn't. It does show up that way on my laptop though.

  • Unable to disable the "Enable Administration Port" (Weblogic 12.1.1.0)

    Hi,
    I have a Weblogic server installation from which the field "Enable Administration Port" has been checked (Probably the Administration Port is now 9002, but I cannot check it).
    As a consequence I am unable to access the Console.
    When I try to access the Console through the 7001 port, I get the message:
    Console/Management requests or requests with <require-admin-traffic> specified to 'true' can only be made through an administration channel.
    Does someone know how to disable the "Enable Administration Port"? Maybe with WSLT?
    Thanks and Regards.

    Solved. Port 9004 can be accessed through https.

  • Looking for a good Javascript to let me know if the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is disabled or enabled within Java Preferences?

    If this code could work on Snow Leopard as well, that would be awesome. I have a code to tell if Java is enable or disabled on any web browser, but it does not detect if the Java Preferences "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start Applications is enabled" is enabled or disabled. Just looking for a specific code to tell if this option is disabled or enabled.
    Thank you

    Launch Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app by double-clicking.
    EDIT; But I think you are confusing this with JavaScript which has nothing to do with it.

  • Can not set environment-naming-url-factory-enabled in server.xml

    Hi,
    I am trying to set environment-naming-url-factory-enabled="true" in server.xml but I find that it is removed as soon as I start the server.
    Here is what I did:
    (1) installed BPM 10.1.3.1
    (2) applied patch 6148874 to get to version 10.1.3.3
    (3) modified bpel\system\appserver\oc4j\j2ee\home\config\server.xml - I added the attribute environment-naming-url-factory-enabled="true" to the application-server element.
    (4) started the server
    Very soon after starting the server, if I reopen server.xml, environment-naming-url-factory-enabled is gone.
    I am trying to follow the instructions I found on page 3-26 of the following pdf:

  • How can I disable or enable the keyboard and fix mouse's position with LaBVIEW?

    Hi,
    1. I'ld like to disable or enable the keyboard with LabVIEW.
    2. I'ld like to fix the mouse's position with LabVIEW.
    How can I do it?
    Please advise.
    Regards
    Hork

    For the keyboard, you could create a filtering event and discard the key change.
    What do you mean by "fix the mouse position"? Warping or stalling the mouse is very bad UI form., the operator should always be in control of the cursor position. Could you explain what you want to do?

  • Accounts getting disabled after enabling password expiration on BOXI R2 SP2

    Hi All,
    We have a strange issue with our production environment.After enabling password expiration on the enterprise some accounts got disabled,on further investigation I found that these users were either trying to log on to Designer or 2 tier Deski.
    I made them login through the Infoview to fix the issue.These users were Universe deginer or report writers.
    Any Suggestions

    Hi Tim,
    These accounts are Enterprise accounts,according to the users they were not given a chance and they never got any prompt for the password change it was disabled directly at the first login.
    These people were trying to logon using the Desginer or 2 Tier DESKI login and they are the members of the Administrtor Group also.
    Is it important to logon to infoview or 3 tier DESKI to change your password?
    I have no answer to give them why there accounts were disabled.
    Please suggest
    Thanks,
    Arun

    All I want to do is disable all the indexes of the tables which are present in my reference table by looping through the reference tables.
    Similarly I want to do enable all the indexes of the diabled table using the reference table
    Any help would be appreciated and best way to do it thinking all pros n cons.
