Usage of OWC-Webinterface with firefox deletes BPS-data

Dear Experts,
We know that excel OWC in bps-webinterfaces do not work with firefox.
But as we cannot control the local settings at a user workstation it
sometimes happens that a user opens a webinterface with firefox
instead of MS IE.
In this case with firefox he/she does not see any excel sheet. This
behavior is as expected.
But - if he/she then pushes the save-button this will delete the data in BPS-backend
(transactional cube).
We know that firefox is not supported with BW-BPS. But as the use can
not be disabled from server-side this is a big problem.
Has anybody an idea for a good workaround?
I can think of some java script-coding only but this is what we want to avoid.
Best redards
Gregor

Dear all,
for your information.
This problem has been solved for us meanwhile with the help of the supporter of a customer message.
It seems that only webinterfaces of "old style" (before 3.5) showed this behavior. After we had switched them to "new style" the error did not occur anymore.

  • How to make copy client with customizing but with no deleting appl.data

    Hello,
    Which profile of copy client i need if i want make copy customizing without deleting application data in target client.
    regards,
    Denis

    hello dennis,
    There is no way you can do that, you cannot copy only customizing onto a client without deleting the application data since there is no such profile in the client copy profiles to do so.
    Also, to me it seems a bit strange to keep the application data (which depends on customizing for integrity) and update the customizing with something else!
    However, still if you wish to do this, there is a crude way of doing it (theoratically). You could use the client copy by a transport request where in you club all your customizing transport requests into one single transport request using transport of copies and then use the client copy via transport request to copy the customizing.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Create transport of copies [click here|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/57/38e1a94eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]
    2. Copy the newly created transport request into the target client via copy by a transport request functionality.
    click the following link for the same:

  • When downloading/uploading any file with Firefox, Finder shows date but not time

    On my iMac, as I either upload or download a file using Firefox after installing Lion, the Finder window that opens for me to tell it where to either download the file to or upload it from, shows dates of all the existing docs there, but not the time. How can I make it show the time as well?

    I have found the problem.
    A download manager had been installed for a specific website and it was butting in all the time. Even after removing it with 'Add or remove software' it still had its hooks into the system and it was impossible to download anything as it now would not run.
    Had to do an XP 'System restore' before I could get rid of it.
    The offending program was MD_setup.exe size 3,045KB from the themediadownloader.com

  • COMPOUNDING SOURCE SYSTEM ID WITH OUT DELETING MASTER DATA

    Hi,
       We have existing data from  r/3 system (for eg. D1) in BW. Now we have a requirement to get data from a new r/3 system (for eg D2). So we need to use 0COMP_CODE for two sources. We have COMP CODE C11 with different master data in D1 and D2. So we need to compound sourcesystem id to 0COMP_CODE. If we compound it now we need to delete comp code master data in production which means deleting data from 10 other cubes which are dependent on  0COMP_CODE. We can create a new infoobject ZCOMP_CODE for D2. But is it a good idea to create a new info object as we can't report on D1 and D2 if master data is different?. Is there any other way to reuse 0COMP_CODE for D1 and D2.

    Krishna,
    simple and well known solution... You might want to try if appropriate.
    Since you dont nwant to modify the COMP_CODE and Datasource D1, for data coming fom D2, add an identifier at the end..
    for example, if comp_code 1000 is coming in from D2, make is 1000D2.
    so that if 1000 already exsits in D1, then
    1000 means D1
    1000D2 means D2.
    You can modify the text for D1 data to indicate that it comes from D1.
    Kind of patchy solution, but may be appropriate given your situation.
    Good Luck

  • Can Apple fix my charger port on my iPod touch 4th generation with out deleting the data I have on it (pictures , games and such)

    I Guess this would apply to the term accessory but can you fix it without deleting data

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. Also, Apple does not preserve or transfer the data
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. They say they try to preserve data

    Can you or do yo have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPod? The backup included apps data and photos/videos in your Camera Roll album.
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    Syncing of the itune stores

    Hi, thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately, my itunes library wasn't backed up before the reformatting.  hence, I lost the itunes library.  I downloaded a new itunes to the newly reformatted pc and did follow your suggestion to transfer purchases from the phone.  However, when i made some imported content from cd into the itunes library, it couldn't be sync to the iphone.  How do you transfer  new content from itunes library to the iphone?  I wasn't successful in moving the content from the playlist to the iphone anymore.

  • Downloads with Safari show wrong date

    Hi, this is my first post and I'm stumped.
    When I download a file (i.e. PDF) via Safari on either my Imac or Macbook (4.03 and 4.02) both running Leopard 10.5.7 it shows up in my downloads folder with the wrong date: wrong year, month, and day.
    When I download the same file with Firefox the download date is correct.
    Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this annoying problem? Thanks.

    Ok. I just downloaded a PDF via Safari that shows the creation date as: 23/12/08 1:10 AM.
    Same file downloaded via Firefox shows date correctly: today at 9:16 PM.
    The date from Safari has been all over the map... 03, 07, 00 etc. all different.

  • How to Delete the Data in Cube and in ODS

    Hi ALL,
            I have a cube and an ODS both the data targets have data from the year 2002 to 2005.now i want to delete the data from both the data targets with respect to data related to the year 2003 only,how can it be done. Any Help Appreciated with rewarding points.
    Regards,
    BW Seeker.

    Hi
    Generally we can delete the data in the request for the data of year 2003 from request tab in manage screen of datatarget. This can be done only when we are sure that that particular request/s belongs to 2003 year data.
    This can be better handled with selective deletion of data for year 2003 with some keyfields like 0CALMONTH etc..
    This is infact only way when you have already compressed the data in Infocube.
    Hope it helps...
    Best Regards,
    DMK

  • How do I switch back to 3.6? I use Norton 360 and it doesn't work with Firefox 4. I have uninstalled 4 and try to reinstall 3.6 from my downloads but it deleted 3.6 exe when it installed 4. I WANT 3.6 BACK.

    Norton isn't supported on Firefox 4. I don't trust ANY web browser that I can't use Norton on. I had no complaints with it when I had Firefox 3.6. I want to reinstall 3.6 but can't. I have looked all over for a download but every one comes back to Firefox 4.

    Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have indicated that for Norton 360 they plan to release an update to Norton 360 to support Firefox 4 in early May - http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • Every page hangs with Firefox 8, there is often no exit, and if there is, clicking on it does nothing. I have to use cntrl, alt, delete to shut down every single time I use Firefox 8.

    I couldn't even open Firefox for hours, then realized there was an update to 8. Once updated, the horrors began. I can't exit a single page with Firefox 8. Every page hangs. I have used cntrl, alt, delete like never before. I disabled the container.exe plug in for Firefox, and still have problems. There is no menu bar, there is often not even an exit button, but when there is, it doesn't work. These problems must be fixed, or I'll never use Firefox again.

    See "Hang at exit":
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
    See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • Vine.co can not watch videos on other browsers do not have the problem with firefox firefox there just did not work, delete cookies, history

    vine.co can not watch videos on other browsers do not have the problem with firefox firefox there just did not work, delete cookies, history

    I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
    This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
    What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
    This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it.

  • I got e-mail to download Firefox 4 and I deleted old Firefox from Applications and my computer won't work with Firefox 4 - how do I get back to my older Firefox 4 - please help

    I need to get back to my older version of Firefox - my computer won't accept Firefox 4 - how can I find my older version I had that I told to replace with Firefox 4.

    I also want to restore the old version. I downloaded 4.0 this morning, and am entirely unable to use it. All I can do is stare at that beachball.
    The concept was nice, but the implementation leaves much to be desired.
    I've attached a screenshot of "Not Responding" Firefox, eating up 93.9% of my CPU. Consistently.
    How do I retrieve Firefox 3?

    Hi,
    It seems that some faults has occurred during
    the synchronization. You should re-set your
    internet settings. If the issue persists your
    phone will need reformat.
