    Advisable is irrelevant...  It is not possible.  There has not been a version of IE for Mac for a long time.  You will have to load Windows on your Mac in order to run IE, or try making your browser mimic IE.  (In Safari, go to Safari -> Preferences, click the Advanced tab and check the box to show the Develop menu.  Then, in that menu, choose User Agent -> Internet Explorer x.0.)  Note that doing that will not work if the site relies on some weird non-standard feature of IE that no other browser on the planet has.

  • What are the risks when doing a Delete / Re-load of Data in InfoCube?

    Hi,
    What are the risks/issues when doing a complete Delete / Re-load of Data in InfoCube?
    Rgds,
    Mark.

    We are introducing a new Key Figure to the InfoCube and this KF needs historical data.
    The only way I thought this could be achieved was by deleting the data from the InfoCube and re-loading it (It gets loaded from R/3 with no ODS used).
    Is this the only way or are there other options in a BW 3.5 environment?

  • What are the risk involved in Database Migration from Oracle 7 to oracle10G

    HI,
    As a business requirement me are need to migrate our current production database (Oracle 7.3.4) to Oracle 10G R2.
    I need to understand the Risk involved in doing so and corrective action required.
    Your small input is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    As a business requirement me are need to migrate our current production database (Oracle 7.3.4) to Oracle 10G R2.
    There is no risk.
    but you can't upgrade directly from 7 to 10g.
    you need to upgrade first 7 to 9 then 9 to 10g ( i would recommend to go with 11g)
    Or
    If database size is small the best is EXPORT /IMPORT. easy fast safe.
    http://tahiti.oracle.com ===check the upgrade guide for more details.
    You need to test the completely upgrade process on TEST eviourment before doing anything in production.
    becuase a lots of changes between two database version.
    1. You may be face "Performance" issue after upgrade. so need to check properly.

  • App Specific Passwords - What Are The Risks?

    Hi,
    I'm quite clear on what app specific passwords are, how they are generated and how to use them with my apps but I have a general query re their potential misuse before I actually go live.
    For instance if I want to use iOS Outlook on my iPhone I need an app specific password to login to get iCloud emails.  Job done.
    But what happens if that app specific password were to get into the wrong hands?
    I understand from other systems using app specific passwords that there could be the loophole potential for this to be used to basically bypass 2 step authentication and login to my Apple ID via say, the iCloud website.  Is this true of the Apple system?
    I assume that if I name the app specific password Outlook then the Apple system isn't going to restrict the use just to the iOS Outlook app on my one specific iPhone and to only the email system in iCloud,  I mean, how can it?
    So if my app specific Outlook password should fall into the wrong hands I assume it can be used by any app on any device to gain access to my iCloud account and data.
    Surely this can't be right and I'm misinterpreting things?  I'd hope that as a minimum it could only be used to gain access to my data and not account details and security specific areas.  Ideally I'd like a way for the password to be limited for use on specific devices and only have access to specific areas of iCloud data.
    It would be nice to try apps that don't yet support the iCloud 2 step authentication without compromising security to the degree where the 2 step authentication is basically a farce.  I assume that 2 step authentication for apps is not available outside the Apple eco system and Apple apps yet.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • What are the risks in using a RFC which is NOT RELEASED?

    Hi.
    I am in verge of implementing CP_BD_DIRECT_INPUT_PLAN (The Direct Input API used for Routing(PP-BD-RTG) update) which is not yet released by SAP. Can anyone tell me what is going to happen if I use a not-released FM.
    Thanks i& regards,
    ~ Guru

    Hi,
    there are so many FM's from SAP that are not released, so I can say, don't worry about that. I think, there are about 50 % of the SAP FM's we use, that are not released.
    If th FM works fine for you, then use it. But don't use FM's that are marked as obsolete. Sometimes you can find notes in the FM docu for a successor FM or class, then use them.

  • What are the advantages of jailbreaking an Ipod Touch?

    I don't really know much about it.

    Jailbreaking CANNOT be discussed here.  it is a violation of the terms of use of this forum, a violation of the software license agreement, will void the warranty and gets no support here, or from Apple.

  • New version of firefox not compatible with my OS? what are the risks?

    Hello,
    When I was prompted to update my firefox browser, I was subsequently told my Macbook OS 10.5.8 didn't support the new firefox and that I would therefore be subject to cyber attacks from now on, or something similar to that. I don't actually remember the exact phrasing. It did sound ominous. What do you suggest I do? Can I keep on using the outdated version of Firefox that I currently have? or should I switch to a different browser altogether?
    Dokolo

    You could turn on the Mac OS firewall, and get an antivirus. I am running Firefox 3.6.28 on my laptop with Mac OS 10.4.11, and have not run into any problems so far, being behind a router, with the firewall on and with an antivirus installed.

  • What are the risks of Installing win 10 preview ?

    I have a brand new Dell Inspiron Laptop, and I was thinking of installing windows 10 preview on a new partition , so I can dual boot!
    Could installing win 10 preview cause any damage to the hardware at all ?
    I am not going to touch the original OS or the C Drive, I want to install this on a new partitioned drive !

    Hi SQLDev198155,
    I think the best steps are:
      firstly, make an image of your original partitions (I mean whole drive, i.e. all partitions)
       (I use Acronis TrueImage as a tool of making an image)
      A. and then, use virtual environment (I use
    VirtualBox)
          A-1. install VirtualBox on your current OS
          A-2. create a virtual machine and install Windows 10 onto the virtual machine
      or
      B. do dual-boot as you want :
          (after making an image, same as the above)
          install Windows 10 onto a new partition
    I have three Windows 10:
      1. as a virtual machine : in VirtualBox that is running on Windows 7 : Windows 10 works
    with no problems
      2. upgrading from Windows 7 : no problems (some applications needed to re-install)
      3. dual-boot with Windows 8.1 : some problems
          -- short-time freezing after booting from Win10, and Bluetooth mouse needs "Paring" whenever Win10 boots.
    I hope it will be some help. 
    P.S. Windows 10 does not cause any damage to the "hardware". But it may cause some troubles on "software".

  • What are the major risks buying used lenses ?

    i just bought my first dslr,  and i was wondering what are the major risks buying used lenses ?

    You need to be able to inspect and test the lens.
    Look for obvious signs of physical damage, drops, etc. (cracks, dents, etc.)  A lens normally will get some signs of wear but as it's a used lens, you expect *some* wear... you're really looking for signs of damage.
    Remove both front and rear caps.  Look through the lens into a bright no-contrast background (a white wall, a blue sky, etc.) and check the optics.  You're looking for signs of mold growth or damage to coatings.  Minor dust on internal optics wont impact the lens performance... so while you wouldn't want major amounts of dirt... don't worry too much about minor bits of dust (I've actually helped prove this to someone by clipping a 3M PostIt note down to a tiny 1/4" x 1/4" size and sticking it on the front glass.  Take a photo... nothing shows in the photo (even a piece of "dirt" that big wont show because the camera cannot focus on anything that close to the lens.)  
    Rotate the focus ring from end to end.  You should feel a smooth and consistent amount of friction as you rotate the focus ring.  There should be no rough spots.  Listen to the lens as you do this... there should be no grinding noises.
    Do the same with the zoom ring but in addition to checking for smooth consistent performance (no sticky or rough spots) you're also checking to make sure nothing seems excessively worn (nothing wobbles loose... very heavily used lenses can do that after enough wear.)
    Connect the lens to the camera and make sure the camera can completely operate the auto-focus motors without a problem and/or if it's an image stabilized lens that the IS components are working.
    Set the camera to max aperture (e.g. f/22, f/32.. depending on the lens) and press your camera's "depth of field preview" button (if you don't know which button is your DOF preview, check your manual.  Canon tends to move that one around a bit but it's almost always on the front side of the camera near the lens mount.)  You want to press and release it a few times.  This will cause the lens aperture blades to stop down to the aperture you set.  Release... do this while watching the lens.  You should see the aperture blades move in and out (well... they snap in and out very quickly).  You want to make sure it works ok, the camera gets no error codes, and there's no signs that anything is sticking.
    And then there is the focus test... 
    Focus the camera preferably at a FLAT surface that has lots of detail.... such as the brick wall of a building.  Make sure the camera is level and that the camera's focal plane is parallel to the plane of the wall.  Take a test photo at low f-stop and inspect.  You're checking to verify that the focus works and that the focus is reasonable across the image.   As you inspect from left ot right and top to bottom you are looking to make sure the focus is more or less equal (if the right side of the image is focused... but the left side of the image is soft... it would indicate that lens elements are skewed (lens isn't collimated).  It's difficult for a lens to get into this situation unless it was dropped and you'd probably see signs of damage.

  • What are the security risks for opening port 80 on workstations?

    Hello all,
    in our environment, there is an application which open port 80 on workstations when installed, but it is not allowed on preimeter FW
    could you please advise what are the security risks for leaving port 80 opened on the workstations? or it is considered secure unless it is not allowed on the preimeter FW?
    thanks alot & regards

    Hi R.Naguib.
    The 80 port is open by default through the firewall on Windows system, it is used by a http protocol by a browser.
    As for the network or hardware Firewall settings, I suggest to turn to the network administrator for details.

  • What are the general effects of using recovery mode, and is it possible for one's data to be backed up on to it afterwards?

    My iPad, in my opinion is a great device to have whenever I need to use it for work - mainly using it for creating music.  However I feel that it's a bit outdated, and I plan to get a new iPad Air for this holiday season and give this one to my children.  That being said, I have stumbled across a weird problem that keeps me from backing my iPad (generation 2) up to my computer.  The error in question states that "The iPad is currently owned by another computer."  By looking around on the internet, I was able to deduce that one of the ways to solve this problem was to put it in recovery mode to get rid of the 'ownership', and this seems logistical.  The problem I'm facing now, is that, after trying to find the answer, I do not know how recovery mode has an impact on all the data stored on my iPad.  To clarify the question into three parts:
    1)  Is there a way to back up files from my iPad and easily retrieve them without the use of iTunes?
    2)  If not, is there a way to get rid of the 'ownership' of another computer other than recovery mode WITHOUT jailbreaking it?
    3)  If still no, then what are the effects of putting my iPad into recovery mode, and will all of my songs and data be safe?
    Thank you for answering, if possible.

    Was the iPad originally set up on a different computer, and hasn't been synced to the one that you are now trying to use ? There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    (Before trying that you could copy any important files/documents off the iPad so that you have you own backup copy of them e.g. depending upon what the apps support then email them to yourself, use Dropbox, copy them to your computer via your wifi-network.)
    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases off the iPad and over to that computer's iTunes via File > Devices  Transfer Purchases, but if you have music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) which aren't in that computer's iTunes (and you haven't got a backup to copy them onto it from) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    For recovery mode, that will result in your iPad being put back to factory defaults i.e. all of your content will be removed from it

  • My 4th gen 32gb iPod touch recently crashed for more than 12 hours during which time it was completely unresponsive. This is not the first time it has crashed but by far the longest time it has been unresponsive. What are the likely causes of this?

    I don't regularly use any apps beyond Windows Live, Facebook, Skype etc. but app crashes are becoming frequent and this recent blackout was disturbing. What are the potential causes of this and how can I avoid them in the future?

    it's weird , your device is not jailbreraked and it crashes? my device is jailbreaked and i almost have the same problems.
    look, to avoid these problems:
    1- dont open too much apps , and if you do , close them by multitasking menu.
    2-try sometimes to turn off and on your device , its like refreshing ( called "respringing" in jailbreaked devices.
    if you have the same problem , see an apple specialist.
    plz mask as helphul question.
    thanks.
