Upgrade BW 7.3X or 7.4 - Compatibility IE10

Hello experts,
we want to upgrade BW from 7.01 to 7.3 or 7.4. The version final is not decide yet, we search the side effect.
Today, our versions browsers are IE10 32 and 64 bits with windows 7 32 and 64 bits.
SAP BW 7.3 and BW 7.4 PAM define IE10 64bits and Windows OS 64 bits are not compatible with BW 7.3 and 7.4.
Note 1785100 :https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1mciZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3137383531303026
However, this note date november 2013, is it always no compatible ?
thx for your answers.
Goulwen

Hello Brendon,
We cant update IE to version 11. We are obligated to work with IE10.
"Sap recommends vers. 10". I understand that IE10 is compatible with BW7.3 and BW7.4. Is it correct ?
However, in sap note 1785100, i read :
"IE 64-bit versions are not supported in general (esp. plug-in based scenarios)Remark: This does not mean, that Windows OS 64 bit is not supported! (in contrary, it is recommended). Remark: You may switch off 64bit mode by deselecting "Enhanced Protected Mode" in IE - per defualt it is deselected)"
I imagine these possibilities :
SAP BW 7.3 + IE10 32b + Windows OS 32b = OK
SAP BW 7.3 + IE10 64b + Windows OS 64b = KO
SAP BW 7.4 + IE10 32b + Windows OS 32b = OK
SAP BW 7.4 + IE10 64b + Windows OS 64b = KO
That is correct ?
Thank.
Goulwen

  • Am currently running Windows 7 (under VMWare Fusion 5.x) on a Macbook Pro. When running Windows 8 Upgrade ***'t, I get a Secure Boot compatibility notification

    The Microsoft Upgrade Assistant identifies several issues related to compatibility of my system with a Windows 8 upgrade which I'm considering on my Macbook Pro (which is runnng OS X 10.8.2).  The message indicates that there is a firmware incompatibility with Microsoft's recently introduced Secure Boot.  Is there a resolution on the Apple side?  If there is not and none can be expected, does this rule out installation of Windows 8 altogether on my system?

    Given that what the MUA is seeing is a virtual computer created by the Fusion environment, the problem lies more in VMWare's realm, rather than Apple's. Which would be the case if you were running on BootCamp instead.
    Am running Fusion 4 and haven't upgraded (long story), so I have no knowledge if the latest update to Fusion 5 already incorporates the Windows 8 profile when creating, updating or running a VM, so as to satisfy MS's paranoid requirements. So, assuming you are running Fusion 5, maybe checking in VMWare's forums may yield more up to date info.
    OTOH, given that MS is betting the whole farm on Win8, would not suprise me in the least that they would shut down virtualization support in all but a special, more expensive, Win8Virtual edition.......
    Edit: BTW, the latest Oracle VirtualBox does incorporate Win8 profiles in both 32 and 64 bit versions, so it would not suprise me that the latest Fusion 5 did as well.

  • Want to upgrade 2008 R2 to 2012. Upgrade advisor giving errors relating to Database Compatability Level and Server Collation

    I want to upgrade a SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2012.  When I run upgrade advisor, I get the following error messages:
    Rule "Valid Database compatibility level and successful connection" failed.
    The report server database is not a supported compatibility level or a connection cannot be established.  Use Reporting Services Configuration Manager to verify the report server configuration and SQL Server management tools to verify the compatibility
    level.
    Rule "Valid Database server collation and successful connection" failed.
    The SQL Server Database Engine is not configured with a valid server collation and cannot be used as the Reporting Services SharePoint Shared Service catalog database.
    The database called ReportServer has Collation = Latin1_General_Cl_AS_KS_WS and Compatibility level = 100

    Hi Andrew,
    Regarding to the first error message, please check the Reporting Service Configuration Manager, make sure that you connect to ReportServer database from the correct server
     and use servername\instancename format connection string. For more details, please review this similar
    thread.
    Regarding to the second error, it is caused by that the current SQL Server Database Engine server is using an incompatible server collation.
    SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services SharePoint mode utilizes the SharePoint shared services architecture. SharePoint does not support SQL Server Database Engine configured for case sensitive or server collations or binary server collations.
    And since the SQL Server Database Engine server collation property cannot be changed, you will not be able to complete an upgrade of Reporting Services. You will need to migrate your Reporting Services installation to a new server which is using a compatible
    server collation. For more details, please review the following article:

  • After upgrading to 8.0 the add-on compatability tool runs and the Getting Started web page loads every time the browser starts.

    After upgrading to 8.0 from 7.0.1 every time I start FF I get the add-on compatibility tool to run and the Getting Started web page loads along with my homepage in separate tabs as well. So far I have tried running the installer again, disabling all add-0ns and custom settings and restarting and turning off automatic updates. Nothing worked there. I got the same behavior each time. I don't know what else to try other than a full uninstall and reinstall. Something I'd like to avoid if it's possible because of the time involved. This is the second time I have posted regarding this issue. The first time I didn't get a response. A solution or a possible workaround would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows of any. As a staff member and a global forum moderator for an anti-virus company I understand how hectic things can be at times but some feedback, good or bad, on this issue would be very welcomed! Regards, Ritchie...

    Hi michaell, thanks for the reply. I tried everything in the Preferences are not saved link you provided and nothing worked there. If creating a new profile will delete all my add-ons and custom settings I might as well just do a complete uninstall and reinstall. That actually would be easier. That article told me how to save my bookmarks though so I don't have to loose those which is nice. I don't know if this makes any difference but there is a discrepancy between the preference file in the article which is: prefs.js and what's showing on my PC which is: prefs with no .js suffix. I tried to rename the file to prefs.js and restarted. No luck there either. It just created another prefs file. I guess we've pretty much exhausted all the avenues to try! I'm just going to go ahead and do a reinstall when I get the time. Thanks so much for your help michaell. I do appreciate the effort. Regards, Ritchie...

  • Hard drive upgrade on 13" MBP sudden motion sensor compatibility

    Hello,
    I'm planning on upgrading the hard drive in my 13" MBP (aluminium unibody) and I've read a lot of posts regarding the sudden motion sensor conflicts with OS X 10.6.2. I'd like to know if the Western Digital 500GB Scorpio Blue here (http://www.dabs.com/products/western-digital-500gb-scorpio-blue-5400rpm-sata-300 -8mb-58P6.html) would suffer from the conflict (I'm not sure if "Shock Guard" = sudden motion sensor). I don't know if its a simple yes/no or whether its drive / mac specific.
    If it would be a problem does anyone have a suggestion for a guaranteed compatible 500Gb hard drive (5400 rpm is fine)?
    Any thoughts are much appreciated, thanks for your help!

    Western Digital Lists their drive features as:
    * IntelliSeek™ - IntelliSeek technology calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption, noise and vibration.
    * SecurePark™ - WD's SecurePark technology parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved shock tolerance.
    * ShockGuard™ - WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and handling and in daily operation.
    * Free-fall Sensor - As an added layer of protection, if the drive (or the system it's in) is dropped while in use, WD's free-fall sensor detects that the drive is falling and, in less than 200 milliseconds, parks the head off the disks to help prevent damage and data loss.
    * WhisperDrive™ - WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms that result in one of the quietest 2.5-inch drives on the market.
    The Free Fall Sensor is the equivalent of the Sudden Motion Sensor. Looking at the specs for the drive you linked to... they list the following features:
    Shock Guard, WhisperDrive, SecurePark
    As they do not list Free Fall Sensor, I'm guessing this model does not have one so it should not conflict with the internal Sudden Motion Sensor in your MacBook.

  • Upgrade Mac OS on my iBook and compatibility with iMac

    Hello,
    I had an iBook bought around 2002 in the US and it's a G3. I've moved to Thailand and haven't used it a lot due to limited applicability in Thailand. But now, Mac is more available so I'm now considering bought the new iMac. I wonder if I can upgrade the OS X on my iBook to the latest one so that I can have my old iBook sync-ing with the new iMac. And, to use the new features such as time machine, etc... Does anyone know or have done this before? Please help advise.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The iBook G3 (Dual USB) can run Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), but cannot run the newest Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). Time Machine is a feature of Leopard, so is not available for the iBook.
    I'm not sure how well syncing works between the two OSes, since I don't sync my computers. You can access one from the other, however. I access my eMac (in OS 9.2.2) from my MacBook (in OS 10.4.10), both saving files to the eMac and retrieving files from it.

  • Upgrade to Adobe 9 pro breaks scanner compatibility

    I have been using Adobe 7 Standard and Adobe 8 Standard to create PDF documents from my flatbed scanner (Microtek ScanMaker S400).
    This had been working fine until I upgraded to Adobe 9 Professinal about 2 months ago.
    Now, when I try to create a  PDF from the scanner most of the options are grayed out (Black and White Document, grayscale document, color document, color image). There are two options available: Custom Scan and Presets.  The Custom Scan opens another dialog box with some options. When I choose "scan" I get an error saying:
    "Error while interacting with the scanner: the selected scanner was not found."
    The scanner continues to work normally with other programs on my computer including Adobe Photoshop.
    I am running Windows XP SP3 with 3GB of RAM. No recent hardware changes have been made.
    I've reinstalled the scanner drivers and have the most uptodate version.

    Try re-installing the scanner driver and/or finding the most recent drivers to install.

  • Upgrading from Premiere Elements 7 to 9 - compatibility problems

    I have recently upgraded Premiere Elements and Photoshop Elements from versions 7 to 9.  In slideshows created in version 7 there is a problem in Premiere Elements version 9.   Perfectly OK in V7, when using the Sceneline to view a slideshow only part of the project can be seen.  In a slideshow of 300 slides, when scrolling right as far as it will go, only the first 60 or so slides can be seen. I have contacted Adobe support but their "solutions" have made no difference.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    They did not seem to understand the problem.   I sent them a  screen print
    but I still did not receive a reasonable solution.  They asked  me to
    download another version of NVIDIA, change the Premiere preferences,  change the
    3D settings, switch off GPU playback, recreate PluginCaches, disable 
    graphics hardware acceleration.   All of this had not affect on the  problem
    whatsoever.  I have also reinstalled Premiere Elements twice - no  effect!
    In the past I have had versions 5 and 7 with no problems with the 
    upgrades.   Upgrading from 7 to 9 has been very problematical and I  will think
    twice before upgrading again in the future. I think that there  is a problem
    with Premiere Elements itself and all this interfering with  graphics software
    is a waste of time and "passing the buck".
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Upgrade Livecycle File Format for Reader XI Compatibility

    I am having an issue with a basic form created in Livecycle ES (Bundled with Acrobat 9 Pro).  I am unable to print the form in Reader XI but Reader X works fine.  The application stops responding when clicking print. I wanted to know if there is an easy way to update this file to be compatible with Reader XI.  I have ES3 currently installed.  Thank you in advance.
    EDIT: Would also like to know if there is a way of debugging this file to determine what is causing the app crash.  I have an older version of the file that does not cause Reader to crash. 
    Rob

    UPDATE: I was able to comb through the form and found someone had added a malformed image of some sort.  Once that was removed the form printed fine.

  • InDesign Backwards Compatibility in CS5 an MAJOR issue

    I am a print designer who works in InDesign. I bought CS3 Design Premium in late summer of 2008. Shortly thereafter CS4 came out, but after just having forked out a big chunk of change, I decided against upgrading to CS4 right away. Recently I considered upgrading but then heard CS5 was coming out so I decided to postpone the upgrade and wait for the new software. I've just checked out the trial version of CS5 InDesign and after speaking with Adobe Support have come to the conclusion that I can't upgrade to CS5. Why? BACKWARDS compatibility to CS3. The previously offered export features that supplied a path for backwards compatibility via an .inx file are gone.
    I design freelance for a lot of different customers and once the design is complete, I have to deliver the InDesign file along with all associated fonts ad images to my clients. Most of my clients are still on CS3. If I upgrade to CS5 I will instantly not be able to work for 2/3 of my clients, as I will have no means by which to save a file backwards to CS3. I was informed by Adobe support that I would need to buy CS4 and CS5, as I could save my CS5 file in the IDML format and open it in CS4 and then I could save the file from CS4 as an INX file and open that is CS3. ARE THEY INSANE??? First off that requires keeping 3 version of InDesign up and running on my machine all of the time and secondly, why should I have to buy CS4 when I'm paying an additional fee to upgrade to CS5 because I didn't upgrade from CS4? This is so screwed up that it has to be an oversight---please tell me there is a patch in the works!!!
    PS- I've never posted to a forum before, so if I have broken any rules of forum etiquette or offended in any way, I offer my apologies now and if I (and the Adobe Support staff I spoke to) have overlooked something, please enlighten me!

    I am all for working with better workflow practices and I understand that saving files backwards is less than ideal but Adobe needs to look at the real world uses of their software as well. I have to work with firms that aren't upgrading now--especially with the economy we are now in--and most of the items I design for them are ads-- one page- nothing too complex--really nothing fancy. I obviously wouldn't save a book or a very complex document backwards in this way, but simple things have translated just fine in the past. In the real world we hit situations like this.
    I bought my software 21 months ago and in this time Adobe has expected me to upgrade twice--I haven't even finished expensing  the initial cost of the software on my books yet. Upgrading that often just can't happen in a small firm--it's prohibitively expensive for a one man shop.
    So now from what I understand, to do this properly, I am supposed to buy the upgrade and keep both versions running on my machine and track with every client which version of the software I need to be working in. What happens when I have to add an employee? I will have to buy the CS3 version of the software in addition to the CS5 Suite because otherwise we can't work on the same files. I'm finding this frustrating.
    Your suggestion of buying CS4 from Amazon is a good one. I will look into that further.
    DISCLAIMER: I'm an Adobe stockholder. REALITY: My holdings are probably in the same proportion as the number of bits it takes to store a period character (".") on an Internet server is to the entire Internet's storage capacity. So, while I may have some self-interest here, it's not driving me to encourage you - or even all the participants on this forum - to buy more software than you want to or need to.
    If you're simply interested in test-driving a new release, you can do that with the free 30-day trials. If you run out time, you can probably figure out a way to trick out your system to get another 30-day shot.
    However, if you use the software commercially - either to train others, or to create new material or revise old material for clients or employers - you need to decide if you can continue to do this with the software versions you own, or if the commercial needs will require you to license new versions.
    Regarding "expensing the initial cost of the software on my books" If I understand the US income-tax policies, purchases under a rather modest amount can usually be expensed in the year of purchase. If, because of your accounting method or preference, you're using a longer expensing time period, you might want to reevaluate your approach. If you attribute a portion of the software cost to each project you use it on, and, in this case, in 21 months your work hasn't let you recapture the investment, they you may want to use that information to decide how to pursue more paying for the software, or decline that stream of work and forgo upgrading.
    An alternate way to evaluate the software, especially as an employer of users, is to compare the product cost vs. how many more billable hours you and your workers can complete in a given time with it and without it, and, how competitively you can bid projects, due to the product's efficiency.

  • Can I upgrade my IMac Running Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion?

    I'm curioous if anyone can tell me if I can upgrade my IMac running Snow Leopard can be upgraded and have the capability to run the new, more feature rich Lion software?
    I'm a recent convert having just migrated from PC platform to mac and honestly I need to spend some serious quality time on my learning curve. I was browsing through the Apple Store when I saw an upgrate opportunity to Lion. Once I read the list of improvements, I was sold -- I really want Lion even if it costs an addional $300. My fear, however, is that I'll purchase the Lion software only to find out that it's incompatible with my older Mac running Snow Leopard.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
