Upgrade from 8.96 to 8.98. Some questions

[unitas99007]

Aforementioned "Registry Hack": We also used Group Policy to push ActiveX controls for IE7.


We just did this for the 8.98 tools. I had one Group Policy Obcject with a startup script (for the stuff that needed admin rights) and a logon script (for the stuff that had to be invdividual user).

GPO Startup script:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
c:xcopy /y /r "\\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\jdewebctlsU.ocx" c:\Windows\System32\
xcopy /y /r "\\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\jdewebctls.inf" c:\Windows\System32\
xcopy /y /r "\\\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\jdeexpimpU.ocx" c:\Windows\System32\
xcopy /y /r "\\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\jdeexpimp.inf" c:\Windows\System32\
xcopy /y /r "\\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\JDE_90.reg" c:\Windows\System32\cd c:\windows\system32
regsvr32.exe jdewebctlsU.ocx
regsvr32.exe jdeexpimpU.ocx
</pre><hr />



GPO Logon Script:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
xcopy /y /r "\\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\JDE_90.reg" c:\Windows\System32\
C:
CD C:\Windows\system32REGEDIT.EXE /S \\<servername>\<sharename>\JDE_90\JDE_90.reg
</pre><hr />



Contents of JDE_90.reg:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\<your domain here>]
"*"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\2]
"1604"=dword:00000000
"2200"=dword:00000000
"1803"=dword:00000000
"1809"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3]
"1604"=dword:00000000
"2200"=dword:00000000
"1803"=dword:00000000
"1809"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a
"EnableHttp1_1"=dword:00000001
"ProxyHttp1.1"=dword:00000001
</pre><hr />

So between the startup script, the logon script, and the registry key, this copies the activex controls from a share, registers them, adds your domain to trusted sites, sets the active x controls to all the appropriate settings, and setts HTTP to 1.1 mode, and sets the "MaxHTTPConnections" value to 10. (2 by default, 10 is recommended by Edwards). The HTTPConnections thing solved alot of client machine performance problems for us.

Hope all goes well.

Nevermind - disregard last post. I read 8.98 and assumed they were running 9.0. Too early in the morning i guess.

Thanks for all the ideas, we have completed the proxy change as well with no results. We rolled out the reg change for the max connections, but it was rolled out to Local Machine and not current user, will that make a difference?
We are working with Oracle on this as well but, so far no luck.

We have users on 8.98 running E812 and E900 as well, having the same 'processing' issue. Applied instructions in Doc ID 660020.1 - JVM settings, and Microsoft patch, but still the issue persists on most clients. GSC Development is looking into it, but it has been a few months... Some users have resorted to Firefox which works much faster.
