How to make Hyperion 11.1.2.3 to run from IE10?

How to make Hyperion 11.1.2.3 to run from IE10?

We all have faced quite some issues with the release of new version of extremely secure and fast browser (IE10 from Microsoft) but Oracle Hyperion not being quick enough to accept the same as standard supported browser (IE10 is not supported as a standard browser as per the support matrix released alongwith Oracle Hyperion EPM suite of products v11.1.2.3).

The initial screen as reported when you access the workspace url is a blank webpage. However, some small tweaks enable us to run the Hyperion from IE10. For this tweak to work, you would require direct access to server where the Foundation Services has been installed.
Please take a backup of ‘index.jsp‘ from the folder mentioned below. You can download the modified ‘index.jsp‘ and replace it within the folder. After a restart of Foundation Services, you can check if the issue is resolved. For geeks and other developers, changes in file has been mentioned in the below mail trail
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\FoundationServices0\tmp\servers\FoundationServices0\tmp\_WL_user\WORKSPACE_11.1.2.0\340u89\war
  • The annoying IE compatibility settings message is displayed when you try to open the Planning Administration page. But you can ignore the same as the page does open properly and we were able to successfully test the entire functionality

For all the geeks and other developers, who are interested in understanding what are the changes made in the above attached file, please continue below.
Browse to the folder within explorer which might be somewhat as below:
C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\servers\FoundationServices0\tmp\servers\FoundationServices0\tmp\_WL_user\WORKSPACE_11.1.2.0\340u89\war
Edit ‘index.jsp‘ file. Locate entry which would read out as below:

Replace the text in above line from IE=Edge to IE=9. We found that our client platform supported this entry. However, you are free to replace the above with IE=5, IE=7 or IE=8 depending upon the client platform and compatibility. You can even try IE=5quirks if it suits your environment.
Restart Foundation Services and test if the workspace opens normally within IE10.
