It seems like it was just yesterday that we were all waiting for SAP to support Internet Explorer 9, but alas that was an eternity ago in 2011 (see related ASUG News article, Waiting on SAP, User Communities Fix SAP BusinessObjects Browser Woes).
Last week, Microsoft published a blog entitled “The perils of using Internet Explorer as your default browser” which among other things states that
Internet Explorer is a compatibility solution. We’re not supporting new web standards for it and, while many sites work fine, developers by and large just aren’t testing for Internet Explorer these days.

Is there a document that explains each setting in each server process? I am back at a huge install that is not tuned correct running 4.2 sp5
Tom, I hope you’ll find what you need in the Server Properties Appendix in the back of the SAP BI admin guide. There’s also some specific guidance in the SAP BI sizing guide.
