How to how to deal with corporate users who can not migrate to IE8 in the program? Oracle Forms6i and Jinitiator plug?
Oracle has said that their system is not very successful, since Microsoft's sales in new money system, Oracle can be so . So the long-term strategy is to upgrade the system, and the short-term strategy is to use virtualization technology to ensure that the relevant programs work properly on the supported platforms. I don't think anyone will switch to Oracle because the platform doesn't support it. Of course, both Oracle and SAP have compatible versions, but it takes $300 million to switch to practical Oracle. It lasts from one year to one and a half years, and the continued use of Windows 7 system saves time and effort, and no one wants to install a second system. .
British media recently on Microsoft Windows compatibility issue experts visit Jackson, and ask questions on how to address compatibility issues third-party programs are as follows:
Q: Microsoft intends to encourage business users to abandon the use IE6? What is the role in this regard
Windows7? A: actually we still accustomed to using IE6, a lot of existing business processes can be run directly. Many users said that once Windows 7 is used, it means that IE8 has to be used, but most people are not familiar with it. There is no material on the market for everyone to understand the information.
you think this is just porting problem or a complex web development projects? Does the company or the IT development team needs to make more efforts in this regard?
Some programs can simply post-transplant Used directly, but some professionals may need to modify some of the code. But our IT team really should have a hard time grasping the difficulty of this work. If a program developer says, "The project will last 17 weeks," his intention may be, "In fact, this is the problem of changing some code. I think you can solve this problem within 17 weeks." BR>
you think under normal use Windows7 IE8 what most in need of attention?
main thing is clear why use IE8. Many people will answer when they are asked this question: "Because I want to use Windows7." But in fact, if you don't know why you use IE8, once you have a technical problem, many people will say, "I gave up, I don't really need to use IE8, see if there is any way to continue using IE6. "But this is not the ideal browser.
the same time, when making decisions on compatibility issues, if the user is not clear what the characteristics of their value IE, also unsure of what you need to know its performance. For example, if a user uses IE8 to value its security performance, then if there is a problem and need to close or repair these security attributes, the user will choose to fix the original code instead of directly closing it.
most business users will be able to simplify Web application porting issues?
based on existing test results, users tend to use the web application is not a particular concern, such as Microsoft IE7 to In the upgrade of IE8, the programs that users really pay attention to only account for 4% of the total. For other programs, we will inform users: These programs may work properly. If there is a problem, please contact customer service to solve it, just like many software often have vulnerabilities. If the 4% program that needs attention is not working properly throughout the day, it means that something is wrong. For example, Outlook online version can not be used normally, such as sending an email takes 2 hours, Microsoft has encountered a big problem.
next step is to decide how to use these programs. The first question is: "Do I need to support these programs?" If the answer is yes, do you need to support this version of the program? If this is not the case, then buy a new one. Because if you really need to use the program, it is very troublesome to test the existing program again. Once the decision is not supported, there will be many options, or resets, or some modifications to the code on the website, or other expedients. The final approach is likely to be virtualization, running IE6 on a compatible operating system.
So whether the company can guarantee an effective set of IE, users avoid network program code changes?
Currently we have 1,500 groups for IE8 setting measures, the most important is the site area Assign a list. The biggest problem is that many corporate users have their own internal network "intranet.com" that browsers don't know. We focus on a few licensed sites and assign users to these network zones, using the IE8 standard by default, and using enhanced security settings in that zone. Users need to put their internal network sites in the network area to be recognized. This also means that the user's primary task is to maximize the compatibility of their site.
how to use virtualization technology to solve the problem grafting? Will the need to use IE6 and IE8 advantage of waste?
Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) in this regard for the user Provides great convenience. After entering IE6 in the address bar, as long as it is not limited to use IE6, it will automatically transfer to IE8. The user's computer needs to have enough space for the VM and has already installed MED-V. If you are in XP mode, users can not log in to these websites, and it is better not to use IE6 to access unsafe pages when the administrator account is logged in.
Windows7 system with its superior safety and operating performance gradually attracted more and more business users, and with the lack of technical support for the original WindowsXP system, most business users began to switch to Windows7 system. However, this also means that you need to give up IE6 and use the upgraded IE8, which makes many business webpage programs not working properly. The study found that many programs designed specifically for IE6 can't run under IE8, but ChrisJackson, technical director of SWAT team of Microsoft Windows application experience, gave a coup to easily solve the compatibility problem between Windows7 and IE8.
