Has anybody applied this fix to Citrix and made it stick to all users manually?

SOLUTION:

The HTTP 1.1 specification states that there should be 2 connections available to a server from a client browser. This is the requirement to meet HTTP 1.1 standards, but not a restriction.

The Firefox browser has set this limit by default to 8 while Internet Explorer sets this limit to the minimum specification of 2. Each of these connections is synchronous, so the effect of this limitation is that Firefox can simultaneously download 8 resources, while Internet Explorer only 2.

When a menu is launched, approximately 20 static resources are downloaded (JavaScripts and images), while approximately 35-40 static resources are downloaded for a typical EnterpriseOne form.

By changing the default amount of connections to the server to 10, customers should observe significant improvements in EnterpriseOne menu and form rendering.

To change this value for Internet Explorer do the following:

1. Open regedit.exe

2. Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
- NOTE: Since this registry setting change is to HKCU, make sure it is being for the USER that will be running E1 on this particular machine.

3. Add a new DWORD entry named "MaxConnectionsPerServer"

4. Set the value of this new key to Decimal "10" or Hexadecimal "a"

5. Add a new DWORD entry named "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"

6. Set the value of this new key to Decimal "10" or Hexadecimal "a"

7. Close "regedit.exe" and restart you browser
