Protected Mode and incompatable system configurations

After installing Adobe Reader 11.0.3 I get a message screen concerning "Protected Mode and incompatable system configurations". The screen gives me three options to continue, selecting any of these options still does not allow me to open any PDF. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack 1 64 bit Os. Any ideas how to fix this?

That got me past the first screen, now I'm getting the following.
HELP!!

Dateguard Protection Mode and log transfer doubt

Friends,
DB: 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) 64 bit
OS: OEL 5.5 64 bit
iam new to dataguard..
i just finished the setup of primary db and physical standby in my notebook.
the protection mode is the default one...that is...maximum performance. (primary)
in the maximum protection mode....whenever i need the logs to transferred to physical standby..i have to do the switch logfile and also archive the current log.
its not reflecting/transferring automatically. that is in the scott user i created a table in primary db..
but its not reflecting in the physical standby of scott user. once i do the below...
alter system switch logfile
alter system archivelog currentthen its reflecting in the physical standby. so, am i have to change this mode to maximum availability or maximum protection?
so in maximum performance mode, i have to execute the above statement whenever i need the log transport from primary to standby?
thanks

1. is the real-time apply can be used in all the 3 protection modes?Yes.
2. while changing the protection mode, i have to do it in the primary db is it?Yes changes are done in primary database.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/protection.htm#
3. while shutting down the physical standby and primary i just run the shutdown immediate command in standby and then in primary...is there any steps to be followed while shutting down the server or starting up the server in the dataguard environment like rac environment.?
While shutting do this:
Check whether primary and standby database are in SYNC and then Cancel the recovery process
Shut down the primary database and then shut down the standby database And if you are using ASM then you have to shutdown that also.
Stop all listeners and cluster services. Perform this step on all nodes in an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) environment.
While starting do this:
Start the cluster services and listener
Start the ASM and then database
Start the recovery process on standby database.

Protection Modes and Fast-Start Failover

Oracle Maximum Availability Architecture allows you to set fast-start failover (FSF)to automatically failover to the standby in the event of losing the primary database.
One condition of FSF is that it will only initiate if there is a guarantee of no data loss. This is where i start getting confused. Maximum Availability mode allows for data loss as the primary will still process transactions if the connection to the standby is lost. This means then in the event of the standby being out of sync with the primary database (i.e. network glitches) and then losing the primary database to hardware issues for example. FSF will not be able to initiate as data will be lossed and a complete loss of service will happen!
Can FSF be used in Maximum Protection mode as this will always mean FSF will be able to occur? Also what is the overhead towards the databases with regards to running them in this mode?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
Can FSF be used in Maximum Protection mode as this will always mean FSF will be able to occur? Yes, Maximum Protection Mode can be used with Fast-Start Failover, please review the next link.

Also what is the overhead towards the databases with regards to running them in this mode?
Yes, the overhead is on major scale that other modes.

IE8 protected mode and web to pdf conversion

I am trying to convert/print web page to PDF files.
If I use the Convert menu within IE8 absolutly nothing happens. It doesn't matter what option I choose inluding preferance.
If I use print to Acrobat printer, I get an authorization error.
If how ever I restart IE8 with protection mode turned off all works perfectly.
I am using Vista HP 32, and Acrobat 9 pro.
All software is fully updated.
Acrobat works perfectly except for this very useful function.
I tried e-mailing support but had no reply (makes you wonder why people pirate with support this good!!!)
Any help would be much appreciated.

As if by magic
Update 9.3.1 now allows full functionality

Acrobat Reader X Protected mode and DDE

Hi,
I have an acrobat reader plug-in that we communicate with using DDE commands (based loosly on the DDEserver sample from the SDK). However, it doesn't work in Acorbat Reader X Protected mode.
I've tried using the ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt method but to no avail.
Did anyone encounter this issue with plug-ins that uses DDE? Can anyone point me to solution or alternative way?
Thanks,
Yoav

Thanks for the reply.
IF the whitelist is indeed the correct way, i couldn't make it work with it. I must say that the documentation out there on the whitelist is far from being perfect. The closest thing I found was about namedpipes in the Broker log but nothing on DDE.
As for the license and developer support - The license was granted years ago and I'm not sure if developer support is still active for us. How do I check this?

Work Protect mode and browser navigation?

Through testing we have noticed some behaviors with Work Protect that I did not expect. Can anyone help?
We are on EP6 SP18. When changing data (ie. setting the dirty flag) on applications (CRM PCUI for instance) and then clicking some other link, button, etc. anywhere within the browser content area, the Work Protect mode fires correctly and pops up a confirmation warning.
However, in these cases:
(1)user clicks forward/backward browser buttons
(2)user manually enters URL in address bar
(3)user close browser
(4)user clicks mouse buttons for backward/foward navigation (such as 3rd or 4th mouse button programmed to do back/forward)
...Work Protect does NOT fire and catch those events.
Is this truly a limitation of Work Protect or should we investigate further? I can not find any definate wording of the above issues/limitations in any of the documentation (help.sap.com or on service.sap.com in notes).

Work protect mode and wedynpro ABAP

Hi,
Does anyone know how the work protect mode should work for webdynpro abap?
We are using webdynpro abap ivews for travel. When i click on the exit button within travel I get a pop up. If I navigate away i.e click on personal information I don't get a pop up.
When I navigate away form a webdynpro java iview to personal information I always get a pop up.
Shouldn't this happen for webdynpro ABAP ivews as well?

Folder+Exclamation point, Disk mode, and "Serious system error" in Windows

Hey there,
A couple days ago, I made the mistake of running with my 4th gen 40gb iPod. After playing for a while, it froze; whatever, it's done this before, and come back. This time, I keep getting the folder and exclamation point icon. Following the FAQ on the support part of the site, I put it into disk mode.
Here's where the frustrating part beings: When I open iTunes and plug in my iPod (either via USB or Firewire), one of two things happens:
In the first instance, iTunes tells me the iPod is corrupt. I click "Restore" and after a while, it tells me that either the necessary data cannot be found, or that an error (1418) has occurred. The farthest I have ever gotten was a progress meter and "Restoring iPod", shortly followed by an error.
In the second, and decidedly more frustrating, after waiting a couple minutes for iTunes to recognize my iPod (my computer does instantaneously), my computer shuts off. Upon restarting, I get a system message from Windows telling me that a serious error has occurred.
I went to an Apple store today and handed one of the workers there my iPod. When HE turned it on, everything seemed to be working...I brought it home, tried to play a song, and found myself back at square one.
Can I restore this thing? I can get it into disk mode, my computer just won't cooperate. Will reformatting my computer help? I am using Windows XP.
Thanks,
Ted

Hi Martha,
Try to do with slightly differnt, open the Disk Utility, go to tab of PARTITION, and do a delete. Then go back to the tab ERASE and click erase with the option format of MAC extended journal. Once it has being complete, open the iPod updater and click RESTORE.

Enhanced protected mode and global named shared memory object

Good morning.
I've written a bho that do data exchange with a system service. The service creates named shared memory objects in the Global namespace. Outside appcontainer IE 11 sandboxed everything works fine lowering objects integrity level. Inside the sandboxed environment
OpenFileMappingW seems to return a valid handle but the calls to MapViewOfFile always gives access denied. What i'm missing? Thank you.
Service code for security descriptor creation:
if (InitializeSecurityDescriptor(pSA->lpSecurityDescriptor, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_REVISION))

           BOOL fAclPresent = FALSE;
           BOOL fAclDefaulted = FALSE;
           if (GetSecurityDescriptorDacl(pSecDesc, &fAclPresent, &pDacl, &fAclDefaulted) == TRUE)
               bRetval = SetSecurityDescriptorDacl(pSA->lpSecurityDescriptor, TRUE, pDacl, FALSE);
       if (bRetVal ==TRUE && ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptorW(L"S:(ML;;NW;;;LW)", SDDL_REVISION_1, &pSecDesc, NULL) == TRUE)
           BOOL fAclPresent = FALSE;
           BOOL fAclDefaulted = FALSE;
           if (GetSecurityDescriptorSacl(pSecDesc, &fAclPresent, &pSacl, &fAclDefaulted) == TRUE)
               bRetval = SetSecurityDescriptorSacl(pSA->lpSecurityDescriptor, TRUE, pSacl, FALSE);
               OutputDebugStringW(L"SACL ok.");
   return bRetval;
BHO code
LPMEMORYBUFFER OpenDataChannel(HANDLE *hQueue)
   LPMEMORYBUFFER lp = NULL;
   WCHAR data[512] = { 0 };
   for (int a = 0;; a++)
       if(iestatus==FALSE)StringCchPrintfW(data, 512,L"Global\\UrlfilterServiceIE.%d", a);//NOT in EPM
       else StringCchPrintfW(data, 512, L"%s\\Global\\UrlfilterServiceIE.%d",appcontainernamedobjectpath, a);//in EPM
       *hQueue = OpenFileMappingW(FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, TRUE, data);//FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS
       if (*hQueue != NULL)
           //file mappato esistente
           lp = (LPMEMORYBUFFER)MapViewOfFile(*hQueue, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, sizeof(MEMORYBUFFER));//FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS
           if (lp != NULL)

Ciao Ritchie, thanks for coming here. ;-)
I call (only) OpenFileMapping and MapViewOfFile inside my code and i get access denied at the first try. As i stated before this happens when IE11 is working inside EPM 32/64bit mode, outside EPM it works as it should. However i decided to take a different
approach to do IPC, because, you want it or not, the service is up and running as SYSTEM... Still i'm really interested about two points:
1) can i use global kernel objects in EPM mode?
2) if one is "yes, you can": what's wrong with my code? The security descriptor? Something else?
Thanks all.

When opening a PDF in IE 10 with Enhanced Protection Mode it displays "This website wants to run acropdf.dll"

I am running my application which requires JRE on Internet Explorer 10. Since the IE need to run in 64 bit mode, we have enabled the "Enhanced Protection Mode" in Security option of Internet Options in Advanced tab. But my application also opens
up PDF in the browser, when the page with PDF is invoked it displays "The webpage wants to run 'AcroPDF.dll'. If you trust this site, you can disable Enhanced Protection Mode for this site to run the control.(Disable)(Always Ignore)". And on
clicking any option the PDF is not displayed.
We would not be able to disable the Enhanced Protection Mode as the 64 Bit JRE would not be invoked for other part of the application.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.

Configure Adobe Reader to not use a Web Browser to open PDF documents... (see the Adobe.com for admx files to apply this setting by group policy) (
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/392489 )
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences>Internet>uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
It seems that Adobe have recently changed the location of that setting in Adobe Reader (at least on 11.0.4). They've now hidden it under Edit > Accessibility > Setup Assistant > Then on page 5 of 5, there's a tick box to toggle 'Display PDF
documents in the Web Browser'.
However, it doesn't work like it used to though, as it won't just open a PDF in Adobe Reader instead of the browser. It will instead ask to disable Enhanced Protected Mode to run acroPDF.dll.
And if you try disabling the Adobe PDF reader add-on in Manage Add-ons to try and force it to open in Reader, then when you visit a PDF link, you just get the same blank page (shown below) with the black crossed out circle in the top left, but without the
message bar at the bottom of the window. The only way to open the PDF is to either turn off Enhanced Protected Mode and allow acroPDF.dll to run or if there's an original link to the PDF, right click and select 'save-as'.
I think it's about time Adobe released an x64 PDF viewer... Or at least there should be an open/save dialogue box in IE.
If you've got Reader 11.0.4 installed, you can try it for yourself with this PDF link:
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf
(The below screenshot is with 'Display PDF documents in the Web Browser' UN-ticked in Adobe Reader settings, so it should open in Reader instead. But it doesn't. And with the Reader add-on disabled you get the same page, but without the
message at the bottom.)

Upgrading protection mode

I've never used any Data Guard protection mode except Maximum Performance before so please forgive me if my questions seem ignorant.
I have a primary DB with 2 standbys both currently operating in maximum performance mode. The primary is a 2 node RAC cluster. Both standbys are single instance. None of the databases in the configuration use standby logs (yet). I am currently using ARCH to ship the logs to both standbys. All databases are running version 11.2. I am not using Data Guard broker.
I am considering upgrading just standby # 2 to maximum availability protection mode, but I'm not sure if it's really what I want or not. Perhaps someone here with a better understanding can confirm for me whether its the best choice.
My goal is to achieve the maximum data protection possible with no performance impact whatsoever on the primary database.
If I understand maximum availability correctly (and I am not certain I do), a commit issued on the primary will not complete until the maximum availability standby has acknowledged receipt of the redo data. If the link between the two goes down, that could introduce a significant delay in the commit. Is that correct? In my situation any performance impact on the primary DB is unacceptable.
Perhaps what I want is maximum performance using standby logs, with the LGWR and ASYNC attributes enabled on the corresponding log_archive_dest_n parameter. If I understand that correctly, a commit on the primary will complete as soon as the redo is written to the local redo log and the availability of the standby destination will have no performance impact at all. In general the standby will remain only a few seconds behind the primary. If the link between the two goes down, I can alert myself to the situation with a simple query of v$dataguard_stats and correct whatever the underlying problem is.
Can someone please confirm for me whether I am understanding the behavior of commits under these two different protection modes and transport modes?
Also, if I do create standby logs for the one destination, do I also need to create them on the primary and other standby as well.
Thanks.

Here's what I can think of :
Max protection mode will shutdown automatically if no standby destinations available for log transfer. To avoid this at least two log_archive_dest are needed.
Max protection mode will shutdown if lgwr,async and noaffirm is used.
Max Availability will behave like max performance mode when no standby archive destinations available.
Max Availability will remain in max availability mode when standby redo logs will not available.
So it will depend on the business

KMC didn´t work with pcd write-protect mode

Hello,
I have activated the write-protect mode for the PCD in our Portal. Everything is working fine.
After restarting the portal-server, the kmc-component didn´t work anymore. After disabling the write-protect mode and restarting the server, kmc works again.
I read a sap-note (1148777), that this problem was fixed with SPS 15 KMC-Patch 1. Our portal is on SPS 15 with latest patch-releases.
Any idea ?
Thx for your reply!
Oliver

The concurrent mark sweep collector you get with -Xincgc isn't a compacting collector. It doesn't move objects. So while it can grow the heap if needed, it can't give those pages back to the operating system, as you want by turning -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio= down that far.
