Disable BWA for Updates

Hello BWA Experts:
We are planning to do updates to our BWA appliance in a couple of weeks. Last time we did this, I remember that we had issues with our users getting error messages about BWA being unavailable when they ran queries against things that were typically indexed in BWA (because the appliance was down for maintenance).
I know that you can exclude using BWA for a given query, or for an entire InfoCube ... but is there a "Best Practice" way to take BWA globally out-of-service to do maintenance on it? (FYI -- We have several InfoCubes indexed in BWA, as well as several "Query as InfoProvider" query snapshots indexed in the Explorer part of our BWA appliance).
Also, I recall last time we did an update that the vendor said that the BWA appliance would be left in a "usable state" at the end of each business day, so that each morning we could do our regular loads to BWA. This sounded great, because it would save us having to dump and reload everything in BWA after the updates were completed. In order to take advantage of this approach, will I need to put BWA back "In Service" at the end of each day, and take BWA back "Out of Service" before the vendor begins doing updates each morning?
Thank you!
Laurie Reid

Hi Laurie,
Well I have created a SAP note that mentions several ways that you can turn off BWA:
2016832 - How to disable BWA for queries
As of any other way to disable BWA as you wish I don't see. Maybe first disable for all queries and infocubes and also check to disable the connection from the BW to BWA could help. However, that's up to your business requirements.
Thanks,
Diego.

How to disable checking for updates for Shockwave plug-in?

SOS: how can I disable checking for updates (and reporting
that there is one) for a Shockwave object on a web page?
I have a client with an older Shockwave version, and it's a
royal pain for each user to be told there's a newer veriosn and do
you want to download...
Any help gratefully received.

I have zero experience of macs.
Can't you install Silverlight and the plugin for all users rather than a specific one?
I would guess/hope/expect there'd then be one plist file for everyone?

Disable "check for updates" iTunes AND allow update iPad iPhone

In an enterprise environment we followed http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 to disable the "check for updates" in iTunes, although this is preventing users from updating thier iPad and iPhone devices as well.
How would we manage the Windows computer software (disable check for updates) but allow users to manage (update) thier own portable devices that require iTunes to update?

No. For now we have decided to perform the default install for our users with specific instructions not to update when Apple informs them of an update. When they see the pop up notification of an Apple update, they are to open the SCCM (SMS) "Run Advertised Programs" where we have packaged the new version to install with Admin rights.

How can I set Firefox update preferences via script so I can configure our 200 Macs to disable checking for updates?

Most of our Mac users do not have admin privileges. So when they get alerted about Firefox updates, they don't have the ability to install them. We would like to disable Firefox for checking for updates, then push out updates from our software server as needed. We have about 200 machines to configure. Is there a way to disable checking for updates via script (bash or Applescript)? And if so, is there a guide or web site to explain the process?

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Do i have to disable restrictions for updating ios6

I heard that you have to disable restrictions for updating ios6, cause you wont be able to sync with the computer (something like that). But what if i use icloud?

Nope. Just connect it to iTunes and proceed with the update over connect the iPod to a Wi-Fi network and do an OTA (over-the-air) update instead.

Hi,
If you are referring to Help -> Check for Updates, I'm not certain if that is possible.
If you mean Tools -> Preferences -> Extensions, just uncheck the Automatically Check for Updates box. Doing that is standard procedure for improving the tool's launch performance.

How to Disable Check for updates button in Help/About in firefox 5.0

Hi the user should not manually check for updates so we want to disable the Check for updates button also in Help/About.
Thanks in advanced

You can hide that button with code in userChrome.css below the @namespace line.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
#aboutDialog #updateBox { display:none!important; }</nowiki></pre>
You can also choose to lock the related update pref(s) to false if you want to make sure.

ITunes 10.5 Parental Control Issue - Cannot Disable Check for Updates

We are looking at updating to iTunes 10.5 in a large company.
Normally we add the following key to lock parental controls and disable the check for software updates.
This locked or greyed out the check for updates check box. This does not seem to work in the 10.5 release.
This did work in iTunes 10.4.1.10.
Here is the registry key we are using.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default]
"AdminFlags"=dword:00000101
kParentalFlags_Locked
0x00000001
1
kParentalFlags_DisableCheckForUpdates
0x00000100
256
Other parental control options seem to work.
Any suggestions?

Same problem here!

Disabling "Check for Updates" via registry

I'm trying to edit the registry to prevent itunes from checking for updates. I've followed the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2102 to add the AdminFlags key and the values listed. We're trying to do this on Windows 7 x64 bit machines. After the changes are made, we reopen itunes and go to "check for Updtates" and it still works. Has anyone else ran into this issue? Help on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

I figured this out eventually and its actually pretty simple. You create the adminflags DWRORD 32-bit value under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls\Default" and simply add the decimal value of all of the controls that you wish to have.
Fo instance if you want to disable updates and lock the parental controls so only admins can change them, you would enter 257 for the DWORD value (The sum of kParentalFlags_DisableCheckForUpdates and kParentalFlags_Locked
