SAP Netweaver Portal compatibility issues with IE 8?

[Former Member]

Does anybody have information or possibly another thread where the upcoming IE 8 is discussed in regards to SAP changes? Will SAP need any patches, updated, etc. for the new IE 8 functionality?

When using IE 8, our portal shows errors below, does anyone know what these errors are and whether there are solutions to these?

Thank You!

What NW support package depends on your O/S - for example Windows 7 SP21 is recommended

Lastly SAP supports product areas on IE8 as indicated in www.service.sap.com/pam - however cannot guarantee

customer products (on any platform)

Also although as a general rule of thumb all SAP products that run on the IE8 supported Netweaver platform should work

and are supported as per the PAM

- bug fixing is always an ongoing process and although very rare, application teams may still be able to take a decision not to extend support for all or part of a product on certain browsers due to technical reasons

For IE8 though it has a compatibility mode which makes it run as IE7 therefore you should still be able to use SAP delivered

products that work on IE7

What is the support package and version of your EP. If not mistaken the SP20 support packs supports IE8 now so you might have to install the latest of the support packs.

We are on ECC 6 NW7.0 SP20 and we have the same problem.

Hi Roger,

Please tell us which version of EP you are using.

For NW7.0, find the PAM [here.|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/30179afb-d90e-2b10-ceb3-d2e441d6407b&overridelayout=true]

Hi

Please check the PAM www.service.sap.com/pam to ensure the SAP product you are using

can be used with IE8

Thanks
