Smartview Compatibility Connundrum (11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.3)

Hi All,
We are currently in the process of upgrading our EPM environment from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.3.  We are staggering our application go-live dates so HFM goes first late Summer and then Essbase 3 months later.
We are having issues with Smartview compatability balancing our applications between 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.2.3.
Option 1 - Upgrade to Smartview 11.1.2.5.210:
We are able to connect to both old and new HFM but our 11.1.1.3 Essbase connections start acting strange and we can only see aliases rather than member names or aliases.  The change alias table is essentially greyed out and locked down.  This basically makes our Essbase ad-hoc analysis useless.  Oracle told us that 11.1.2.5 Smartview could support both 11.1.1.3 and 11.1.2.3 but when we told them about this issue, they then said we would have to upgrade our 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.3.500....something we won't be doing as we are abandoning it over the next few months.
Further, the default install location for the new Smartview is C:\Oracle\Smartview whereas the 11.1.1.3 version was located in C:\Hyperion\Smartview.  As you can imagine, we receive that famous error of C:\Hyperion\Smartview\Bin\Hstbar.xla! in all of our formulas when opening files created with formulas in 11.1.1.3.  My assumption is the new Smartview can't find the path that the old formulas are tagged with.
Yes, I can do a search and replace in Excel for C:\Hyperion\Smartview but I don't want to tell hundreds of users around the world to do this.  It appears (I have done a few tests), that this formula issue won't occur if I install 11.1.2.5.210 into C:\Hyperion\Smartview and override the default install location.  My issue with this is I don't know if there is any downside to overriding the default location of Smartview.  ie. will issues arise in the future as it was intended to go to the Oracle folder?  Further, my end-users may try to rush through the installation instructions and I suspect many people will carelessly install it to the default location.  I just want to make the install as user-friendly as possible for all of our users who are not Smartview experts.
Option 2 - Stay on Smartview 11.1.1.3 until Essbase goes live:
If we try to stay on the current Smartview 11.1.1.3, everything seems okay but now I have discovered that the member selection function does not work with HFM 11.1.2.3 and gives an error saying 'Function Parameter Missing or Mis-Spelled'.  Not having this function will be an issue for us.  I haven't done much testing with this option but the first issue is a bit of a deal breaker.
Any advice?  Has anyone been through this?  Does anyone have a simple way to fix the Essbase alias issue or the C:\Hyperion\Smartview formula issue.
Greatly Appreciated,
Mike

Hi,
we had the same issue and the only solution is to patch per the advice from Oracle to enable the existing functionality. Alternatively as you suggest you could stick with the old smartview but you will find you have a steep learning curve for the users when you do go live.
Thanks,
Jeremy.

  • Smartview 11.1.2.2.300 Essbase Server & APS Compatibility

    We want to add LRO's to data cells, but we can't get it working. As stated in the thread title, we use Smartview 11.1.2.2.300 and Essbase Server 11.1.2.1.00.
    The core of the problem is that the 'Linked objects' button in the Essbase-ribbon in Excel can't be clicked somehow. Every function of Smartview is working fine, just the Linked Objects function doesn't work. Do we have to enable this function on the Essbase Server-side, or can we fix this problem in another way?
    Thanks in advance!
    Edited by: AsjenW on Oct 15, 2012 4:58 PM

    I've discovered that the other functions of the latest Smartview release also don't work. Our guess is that Essbase Server and APS also need to be updated. The question is: to which version? Which patches should be applied, does anybody know that?
    Thanks in advance.

  • SmartView 11.1.2.1 x64 compatibility with Microsoft Office 2010 x64

    The SmartView 11.1.2.1 x64 is compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 x64?
    After installing SmartView, Microsoft Excel does not recognize this supplement

    11.1.2.2.300 the latest release of Smart View does support Office 64 bit. You can download the latest version here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/smart-view-for-office/downloads/index.html or on My Oracle Support.
    Remember SV is backwards compatible so the client version does not need to match the server version.

  • Smartview Addin upgrade and APS

    We are on EPM 11.1.2.600 and APS version is 11.1.2.102 as is the Smartview addin. Business is looking at the feature set in later releases of the Smartview addin, specifically Smart Query and some of the VBA extensions of later versions.
    We are currently an old Essbase addin shop, with plans to go to Smartview in the near future, so I am not as 'up to speed' on Smartview. My question is if we upgrade to the latest and greatest version of Smartview do I need to upgrade the APS server also? I downloaded 11.1.2.5.x and was able to connect to Essbase and planning without issues but I want to make sure all features/functionality is available. Thanks.

    May I know which is your APS server , its recommended to use Web logic for latest version .  May be there can be in compatibility if its web sphere !!

  • Smartview executable not launching in Workspace

    We are currently on EPM version 11.1.2, and have been using Smartview 11.1.2.5, I have been able to download and run Smartview 11.1.2.5.400 on my machine and now I want to push it out to the users.  When I replace the Smartview.exe and the Version.xml file, on D:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\common\epmstatic\wspace\SmartView, and rebooted EPM, the executable still does not launch.  It opens a blank IE window and doesn't do anything. 
    Following the Read Me instructions, I revised the version.xml file as well. 
    Any idea what else I need to do in order to run the executable from Workspace?  thanks.

    I don't think EPM 11.1.2.2 is compatible with Smart view 11.1.2.5.400.
    Smart View releases beginning with 11.1.2.5.000 support EPM 11.1.1.4.x.  Earlier versions of EPM are not supported.  Customers need to upgrade to a higher version of EPM suite, preferably 11.1.2.3.500, the latest.

  • HFM Smartview 7.2.1.1 with Excel 2007

    Hi,
    We are using the following Versions:
    Hyperion Smartview 7.2.1.1
    Hyperion Financial Management 4.0.1
    Microsoft Excel 2007
    When we try to retrive the data from Excel 2007 with 80 tabs, we are getting blank values around after 20 mins.
    Sometimes, we are getting the values and sometimes we are getting the blank values.
    Is there a compatibility issue between these versions of HFM with Office Excel 2007.
    Is there any way to get the values instead of blanks.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Hari

    Hi Hari,
    I am not completely certain, but have a good feeling that this is a compatibility issue. I just checked the Supported Platforms Matrices:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/hyperion-supported-platforms-085957.html
    The site doesn't have version 7 documentation, but the oldest version, 9.2., is not compatible with Office 2007. The earliest version that 9.2 is compatible with is Office 2003.
    I'd wait and see if you will get more responses here, but I'd also check with Oracle.
    Cheers,
    Mehmet

  • SmartView 11.1.2.5.200 Available

    All,  the newest SmartView client has many fixes and can be used to test if there are issues and it works with Essbase: 
    11.1.1.3.500
    11.1.1.4
    11.1.2.x
    To keep abreast of the patch levels for EPM bookmark the following:

    I don't think we now have the ability (post 11.1.2.3/2) to change datasource.xml file. Oracle came up with xml based shared connections. So you can define the connections host it and have user point to that xml file.

  • Smart View internal metadata error when creating SmartView reports

    Hi all,
    I have a really strange problem when trying to use HsGetValue -functions in Smart View (in Excel 2010).
    The thing is that I can create a lot of formulas for a sheet that have links to other sheets. However, in some pont (I don't exactly when it happens), I quite randomly get an error in Excel saying "This workbook contains Smart View internal metadata that needs to be repaired. This will automatically be repaired but may take some time". This error box appears a few times, I just click it and then it disappears. Obviously, this is annoying and the Excel is unusable.
    Usually it happens when I try to format the sheet or add, e.g., company logo into the sheet, or try to do a bit more difficult linking of the cells.
    Any ideas what is going on here? Smart View version is 11.1.2.1.103 (Build 100).
    Thanks in advance!

    Please take a look at KB ID 1432526.1. I've copied the text below.
    Applies to:
    Hyperion Financial Management - Version: 11.1.2.1.102 and later [Release: 11.1 and later ]
    Information in this document applies to any platform.
    Symptoms
    The following message is displayed when opening the Smart View files:
    This workbook contains Smart View internal metadata that needs to be repaired. This will automatically be repaired but may take some time.
    It may take a long time to open or save the Smart View templates.
    Changes
    Smart View has been installed by a user different, than the one that is currently logged on the workstation, i.e. service account or installation account.
    Cause
    When the user accesses Smart View for the first time, on a workstation where the SmartView has been installed by another user, the following registry key will be missing in the user's profile:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView\Preferences]
    "UseStorageCompression"=hex:01
    "SelectedOptionTab"=hex:02
    If SmartView is installed by a different user i.e. service account or installation account, then the user profile registry will be missing "UseStorageCompression" and "SelectedOptionTab", resulting in a incorrect saving of file metadata.
    Solution
    Follow the steps below to automatically create the required registry keys for the current user profile:
    1.Open Excel and select Smart View menu.
    2.Click the "Options" icon to open the Options window.
    3.In the "Advanced" tab, under the "Compatibility" section make sure the "Reduce Excel File Size" option is selected and click OK.
    4.The following Windows Registry keys will be created under user profile, enabling proper compression of the metadata:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView\Preferences]
    "UseStorageCompression"=hex:01
    "SelectedOptionTab"=hex:025.Now the user should be able to open the smartview template without the error message.
    6.Additionally it is also recommended to select the "Improve Metadata Storage" option in the Smart View Options window which will create the following registry key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Hyperion Solutions\HyperionSmartView\Preferences]
    "IgnoreShapes"=hex:01

  • I have formatted my SSD and hard drive.... I am running a clean install from disk of 8.1 pro. I cannot determine if it is a compatibility

    issue or hardware issue. I had run a memory test and scan disk for bad sectors from the bios. As administrator, I enabled automount  in diskpart to allow windows to assign a drive name. 
    From the bios, I can see both drives and only the ssd. I have not pinpointed when the harddisk is unmounted. It is formatted as NTFS. I can hear it unmount either during boot or upon waking from sleep mode. The bios sees no bad sectors nor does windows.
    However, when I had the intel compatibility software installed, my hard drive never mounted. I did a restart and inorder for windows to see my hard drive. I disabled the intel software for the 4th gen i7 processor. This problem is happening less often. I do
    not think I have solved the problem. Intel or Windows... I think a bit of both. 
    If there is a software patch, please guide me to it. I am in school and use my laptop ALL the time. I believe it is a compatibility issue. I have attached this from searching intel's site for downloads and windows is up to date. 
    I am quite concerned because I can hear my harddrive unmount. It is labeled as healthy NTFS partition. I have checked for hidden volumes and done everything I know to do to check the integrity of the hardware as administrator. I have searched microsofts
    libraries and forums and have done everything I can find as suggestions. 
    I have checked for malware, viruses, etc. My only clue this is going to happen is the hard disk spins up and I hear the fan, then I hear it unmount the drive. Of course, after unmounted there are other issues which I have ruled out as the cause of the problem.
    Basically, I am experiencing a lack of swap space after my hard drive unmounts.
    Any suggestions, are welcome! I would really like to know if this is a known windows issue. I should not have to disable intel's processor software. I paid for the features of the i7 and would like to utilise the processor.

    Hi,
    According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

  • Itunes wont open - compatibility error...

    hi,
    today I had a problem with moving songs from itunes to ipod. have had this issue in the past which was fixed by using ipod updater.
    this didnt seem to work so for first time in ages ran the itunes updater. I can no longer open itunes and get the following error.
    Quicktime unavailable
    itunes requires Windows 2000 or later
    Please make sure compatibility mode is disbaled in the compatibility tab of the properties of itunes.exe
    well....I tried to do this (I am not massively IT literate!), have tried selecting or deselecting compatibility on this tab....and still wont open....any ideas?
    im on windows XP professional.
    cheers in advance

    hiya!
    if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
    that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
    iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
    ... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:

  • Is there a Data Execution Prevention compatable version of iTunes?  I have reinstalled iTunes 10.5 at least 10 times, and after it installs, it will not open because of DEP.

    I have tried all the advice I have seen on Apple Support discussion boards for the past 2 days, and nothing works.  Disabling DEP is not possible, regardless of what the Windows Support discussions tell you.  In the meantime, I have absolutely no access to iTunes, or even the ability to update my iPhone or iPod.  The only feasable solution is the possibility of a version of iTunes that is compatable with Data Execution Prevention settings. 
    In the past 2 days, I have:  Removed iTunes and related components from the Control Panel (numerous times)  Per the instructions on Apple Service discussions pages, I did it in this order.  1. iTunes  2. QuickTime  3. Apple Software Update  4. Apple Mobile Device Support 5. Bonjour ^. Apple Application Support.  After all that, I reinstalled iTunes. 
    Everything looks fine during installation, with no error messages.  At the end, it says everything was successfully installed.  However, when the installation tool closes, iTunes will only partially open a window, but will stay blank.  Then I get the message that iTunes has stopped working and that Windows has shut it down.  Then I get notified that DEP has caused iTunes to shut down. 
    Can someone please help?  Or, is there a DEP compatible version of iTunes? 
    I would appreciate any help.  Thanks!!

    Polydorus,
    Thank you for your kind reply.  During the many times I uninstalled iTunes, and all the other Apple programs, I only used the Uninstall Programs in Windows Control Panel.  To make a long story short, I found a solution that works for me, but it is still not a complete soluton.
    Here is what I did:
    I used Uninstall Program in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall everything IN THIS ORDER
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support
    Then I went to C:\Program Files and looked for any iTunes or Apple program listed there and deleted it.
    I have 64-bit, so I then went to C:\Program files (x86) and looked for any iTunes, QuickTime, Bonjour or any other file or folder that had Apple or any Apple program in the name and deleted it.
    I went to C:\Windows|SysWOW64\Quicktime  and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\QuicktimeVR and deleted them
    Go back to START, and open the "C" drive.  Open the USERS folder.  Open the folder with your username.  Open the AppData folder.  Then double-click on the LOCAL folder to open it.  If you see any files or folders there that show any Apple program or file, delete those files or folders.  Then go to the REMOTE folder and do the same.  If there are any other users on this computer, go to each individual user and do the same thing in each LOCAL and REMOTE folder.  Restart your computer.
    Go to http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ This is the page where you will actually download iTunes.  Scroll down the page to the section under "Windows Software"  that says "64-bit editions of Windows Vista or Windows 7 require the iTunes 64-bit installer".  Click on that line to get the installer.  It will take you to another download window.
    Scroll to the bottom of the page to the message that says "Download for iTunes 10.4.1 for Windows (64-bit) here: iTunes for Windows 64-bit."  Click there to get the download.
    This is not iTunes 10.5, so you will not have access to "The Cloud", but it is at least functional until Apple actually comes out with a version that will not activate the DEP message.  There was no combination of uninstalling and reinstalling, with or without Quicktime, with 10.5 that did not cause problems with Data Execution Prevention problems that I found.
    I also used Firefox for the downloading instead of Internet Explorer.  It just seemed to function better that way.
    I hope this is helpful to someone.  It's just what worked for me.   

  • Excel 2007 and Smartview 11.1 file open slow

    We are in the process of upgrading to HFM system 11.1 and smartview 11.1.1.3 and as part of this process we are starting to use Excel 2007. I am encountering an interesting problem when opening files in Excel 2007 using smartview 11.1 and I am wondering if any one else has seen this problem and found a solution.
    First I converted an excel 2003 file to excel 2007 and saved the file as an xlsx file type. Then I am able to open the file and it would take about 30 seconds to open the file. The file has about 15,000 formulas on for spreadsheets. If I click on each spreadsheet individually and use the "Refersh" button I can save the file in about 10 seconds and then close the file. When I open the file again it will open in 30 seconds. Now using the same file I click "Refresh All" and the file processes fine. I am able to save and close the file in about 10 seconds. However, when I try to open the file again it takes about 20 minutes to open, and then 20 minutes to close.
    This only happens with two or three files. I have another file that is 40 spreadsheets and about 3,000 formulas that is not affected when I click Refresh or Refresh All.
    Any help would be apperciated.

    Hi
    On metalink i found some notes about this issure
    "Background
    SmartView communicates over HTTP using .NET. This just means that requests and responses are sent in a standard XML format that is tucked in the HTTP headers. The mechanism is the same as when your internet browser requests a file or submits a form (simplification). A standard Microsoft component that is part of Internet Explorer is used for this.
    There are three components (four if you include the network) in a SmartView refresh:
    -the client
    -the web server
    -the HFM application server
    It is easiest to troubleshoot when they are on separate machines. (Running SmartView on the server to see whether it works better is a useful test to see what effect the network is having, but doesn't show any other bottlenecks.) If you run Task Manager on these 3 machines showing the Performance tab, you will see initial activity on the client as Excel clears the cells and the request is converted into XML. Then you see the web server get busy as it receives and parses the request. Then the application server is busy as it send the data, then the web server is busy as it compiles the results into XML again, and finally the client parses the XML, pushes the data into cells and runs an Excel calculation. This last stage is the longest of all. Overall, it is typical to see the client doing 90-95% of the work, so client performance is a very important factor. Look out for Excel's memory usage increasing and RAM becoming in short supply. Often, user dissatisfaction with refresh times can be alleviated by giving them more RAM or a faster PC.
    The situation we are dealing with here, however, is when the chain of events described above is interrupted. In this case, you will see the client or the web server wait in vain for a response from the next machine in the chain. The case of invalid XML is similar, but the response is truncated so that the XML is not well-formed when it arrives. XML consists of matching pairs of tags and is not well-formed when a closing tag is missing. This can be caused by certain network settings such as packet size (see later). The end result in either case is the same: as Excel cleared the cells before sending the request, cells are left blank or with zeroes.
    Your job now is to work out why the particular component is failing.
    Client
    Check the HTTP time out in the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
    "ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00
    "KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    "ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. Also, the time-out limit is 30 seconds for Windows Internet Explorer 7. To change the settings, add the above keys. The above values are hexadecimal, not decimal and correspond to 18000 milliseconds (3 minutes) and 240 minutes for the receive time-out. See
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
    Once you make those changes, my recommendation is that you reboot the client machine.
    Web server
    Look for errors in logs showing that the web app didn't respond/disconnected or timed out waiting for another application (i.e. the HFM application server). Eliminate load balancers etc. during testing in order to isolate the problem and to ensure that the user always goes to the same web server otherwise, logs can be hard to interpret. See also the IIS Tuning Guide for IIS settings. We cannot recommend particular settings, as each client must establish the optimal settings for their own environment after performance testing. If necessary, engage the services of a suitably qualified consultant.
    Application Server
    HFM application server performance is very dependent on whether the data is already in RAM or not. One symptom, where the first refresh fails but the second one succeeds, is probably a sign that the cache needed to be populated and once that had been done (by the first refresh) it went faster. HFM loads whole subcubes (Scenario, Year, Value and Entity) into cache, so asking for lots of accounts in the same subcube is fast, but asking for lots of entities will inevitably slow things down as it runs out of RAM and starts unloading subcubes to make room for more. The HFM event log (HsvEventLog.log) shows this happening, but don't forget that the messages you see are a normal consequence of the way HFM works and are not a problem unless you see a hugely elevated number of them during the period the refresh occurs. Another sign would be page file thrashing.
    If there are several servers in a cluster, use sticky sessions in HFM to make sure tests always go the same server, or hit one server directly rather than using the cluster.
    Solutions here involve giving more RAM to the server (probably not possible because of the 2 GB limit) and changing the worksheet design to restrict the number of subcubes accessed. A separate consolidation server, so that reads are not competing with intensive consolidations and calculations, would be a good thing.
    Network
    To find out if packets get fragmented, use
    ping -l size -f
    to send a big packet with the 'don't fragment' flag. E.g.
    Ping -l 1024 -f oracle.com
    If you see a reply like Reply from 141.146.8.66: bytes=1024 time=200ms TTL=245 then the size you specified is below the packet limit of the network. But if you use, for example, 2000 in place of 1024, you get Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set, then you know you have exceeded the limit. Combine this investigation with a Fiddler trace (https://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see what size data messages are being sent and received.
    Troubleshooting Guidance
    If you seriously want to go into this in more detail, then it will take a considerable effort on your and your IT Department's part. My general advice would be:
    1. During this process, fix your environment so that it is predictable. Register a single HFM application server and connect to that. Use a single web server and don't go through Apache or any other redirector. Make sure we know which machine to go to for logs. This would be a temporary measure and it doesn't stop the other users using the full, load balanced system so long as it doesn't involve your server.
    2. As far as possible keep other users from using it during testing, unless you are specifically testing for performance under load. We want to see what activity is due to SmartView and not random other jobs.
    3. Use PerfMon on all three machines: client, web server and application server.
    4. Clear Logs before testing and note the times of each test so the logs can be correlated.
    5. Log CPU activity, memory usage, network throughput, page faults, thread count etc. I'm no expert on this so get advice from someone who is.
    6. In addition to the performance logs, from the IIS Server get:
    * HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR (Default location; configurable)
    * IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC# (Default location; configurable)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    7. From HFM Application server get:
    * HsvEventLog.log (in <HFM install>\Server working Folder)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    8. Be aware of all timeout settings in your environment (i.e. IIS & the network) and time your tests. This can show whether it is an ASP timeout, script timeout, client side timeout or whatever. Note that the Web Session Timeout setting for SmartView in HFM's Server and Web Configuration is a separate issue from IIS timeouts. Web Session Timeout controls the length of idle time before SmartView makes the user log in again. Default 20 mins.
    9. Run Fiddler traces to directly observe the XML and check for HTTP failures.

  • How to set Compatibility Mode for a single site in ie10

    This question was originally posted on the Answers forum -
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie10-windows_7/how-to-set-compatibility-mode-for-a-single-site-in/187152e3-142a-4d96-8d1b-af82ef571eec
    I am having problem with getting ie10 to set ie9 compatibility for a single site (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    When I add this website in Compatibility View Settings (Alt > Tools > Compatibility View Settings > 'Add this Website') it adds the domain 'contoso.com' and not the individual website (sharepoint.contoso.com).
    This cause other sites (www.contoso.com) to be configured to use compatibility mode. Because this is a separate site (different web server) to the site sharepoint.contoso.com (sharepoint 2010 server) we need different compatibility settings.
    Using a different example to explain the issue -
    Microsoft has three websites that are different websites created by different developers written in different programming languages and they only work with certain browsers.
    microsoft.com (Website1 created by Developer1) - compatible with ie8/ie9/ie10
    msdn.microsoft.com (Website2 created by Developer2) - compatible with ie8/ie9
    technet.microsoft.com (Website3 website created by Developer3) - compatible only with ie10
    The only thing the three website share is the URL contains 'microsoft.com'.
    Marking 'msdn.microsoft.com' to run in compatibility mode affects the other 2 websites - mainly technet.microsoft.com which will not work now since it only runs in pure ie10 mode. 
    Should you be able to add an individual site to the compatibility list instead of all sites that have  .microsoft.com in the URL? Am I missing a simple setting in the ie10?
    As a workaround I am using the F12 Developer Tools to set the Browser Mode which temporary sets the compatibility mode. However this is not a nice solution to the end users at our organisation. 

    problem is not solved for non corporate environments...
    You could start your own thread.  Then if you got that answer and it was marked Answered you would have the ability to unmark it.  The OP of this one seems satisfied.  Also note that this is TechNet.  Consumers can get help on Answers
    forums.

    Oh! I wrote it wrong: I should have said: This is not solved for NON-AD environments. No demands what so ever to use Window 7/8 professional in a small corporation or on a big corporation with Island of smaller departments for example offshore.
    The problem is that the thread is not "Answered" by the OP, its is marked answered by a moderator (and same moderator that did the answer) so no way of telling if the OP is satisfied.
    But you are right in the fact that I am almost kidnapping the thread. But a complete answer would benefit all in this case I would presume.
