Internet Explorer 9

[Former Member]

Hi all,

does anybody have some experience with Internet Explorer 9 and the NW Portal? Are there any major pains?

Furthermore, does anybody know when SAP will officially support IE9?

Thanks + regards

Hi,

about the major pains: IE9 offers a compatibility mode that will render the pages as IE 7 or IE 8. In this blog () you find some more links to information from Microsoft.

If SAP is applying the same support scheme for IE9 as it does for IE7 you'll have support for IE9 when run under IE8 or IE7 compatibility (of course, your portal needs to be on a SP that support IE7 or IE8).

Not yet as far as I know. You may ask your SAP account executive - they are responsible for such statements.

Or raise a development request

Hi Markus,

at the moment IE 9 falls out of support. As soon as there are plans to support it you can see it in product availability matrix.

Thanks for this comment. I already examined the PAM and didn't find anything. That's why I posted it here.

Is there any estimation at which date a support package will be available?

Excuse my ignorance, but I believe the PAM is for products sold by SAP. SAP does not sell Internet Explorer, so it should not appear in the PAM, unless SAP changes the meaning of PAM and start including other vendors there. I just see there products sold by SAP, inncluding some products to interact with 3rd party tools like Adobe.

The PAM shows which software is supported by SAP in which combination. Sure there are 3rd party tools like Adobe listed there in as they are needed for some SAP software to work properly. The same is valid for operating system, database and also for the browser. We don't do support for the browser itself but we do support the SAP functionality that is represented in the browser - like a portal. The portal cannot be used within every browser. By the way: oracle database is also a 3rd party product and nevertheless it is mentioned in the PAM. And Windows is also not an SAP product as well as AIX or whatever - nevertheless they are also mentioned in the PAM.

Your answer in this thread is completely wrong.
