Audit Vault & Apex - ANONYMOUS user recorded rather than Apex end user

Hi,
We have Audit Vault 10.2.3 & Apex 3.2
Audit Vault stores the name of the database user when a table is updated through SQL*Plus etc as expected.
Problem is through Apex and insert to db table using simple form on table the user ANONYMOUS is recorded.
We need to have the actual end user logged into Application Express.
Is there anyway of configuring Audit Vault or Apex to use/pass v('APP_USER')? Does something need to be done in Apex to set a session?
Running the below shows 2 ANONYMOUS users and no APEX_PUBLIC_USER or Apex end user.
select username, count(*)
from v$session
group by username;
Any advice & guidance would be great - thanks in advance.

Having posted the same question on the Apex forum I received the following response and have been able to use CLIENT_ID to return the apex user and session details. Thought it best to post here too incase others search for the same information.
Since Audit Vault relies on native database auditing it can only collect information that is recorded by the "source" database in its audit trail. APEX populates the CLIENT_INFO field of the connection with the APP_USER. However, CLIENT_INFO is not recorded in the audit trail. Instead the CLIENT_ID is captured. APEX records a composite value in this field. The value is formatted as "APP_USER:SESSION_ID". This value should be recorded in the audit trail and consequently sent to Audit Vault. Audit Vault's reports should be able to display this field, and you can filter on it to get the information you need.

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible?

I want to place an image in my InDesign document that can work with an address like this (\Resources\Thumb) rather than this (C:\Users\JSmith\Desktop\InDesign thumbnail Test\001\Resources\Thumb) is this possible? In a nutshell I want to point the link to an image in a directory that uses just part of the address.

I know this is something you can do in Maya with linked files. I guess InDesign just isn't there yet.
MW Design - Yeah I think "Relative paths" is the right term! I want to create a Layout with an image in the center of the page - and then duplicate my folder structure with that file. With that, I want to replace the Linked image file with a diferent image file of the same name. In effect having multiple files of the same layout with different images. I hope that made sense.

Payment Distribution to Artists by per user plays, rather than total plays

Hello!
I just had a thought about how payment is distributed to artists that I wanted to see if anyone might have some thoughts on. Spotify still does come under criticism on occasion for artist payment distribution - I've seen a couple of instances of people citing iTunes as providing more monetary compensation to artists since it is per download, rather than per play, among other things. This seems to be especially true for independent artists, and artists who are generally less well-known.
I was wondering if Spotify has ever considered doing payment distributions using the
sum[ (total artist streams per user) / (total streams per user) ] across all users
ratio for payment calculation, rather than the currently used
(total artist streams across Spotify) / (total streams across Spotify)
approach, i.e. calculating the artists' play ratio by user, rather than in one giant pool. If you have considered this, I would love to hear why the current payment implementation was chosen rather than a per user method, such as the one listed above. But...
If a per user method has not been considered by Spotify previously, I think it would be nice - while I'm not an analyst myself, I imagine that it could lead to more revenue for independent artists, and maybe even less famous artists that are still beholden to rights owners for distribution of payment. I think it would do this because it could account for differences in number of plays per user - rather than users who tend to play more music over the course of a month contributing more all artists' payout, each user has an equal voice in how money gets distributed to artists.
I understand that such a switch would be difficult, and possibly insurmountable in the instance of free users - so, I am positing this as an idea not for all users, but for Premium users only. With Premium, it is a feasible goal, since you have a finite number of plays, and a finite amount of money coming directly from that user, and do not have to worry about trying to calculate differences in advertisement impact for different users. Doing that ratio calculation would be relatively straightforward of a switch computationally (though quite a large change in the system nonetheless, of course).
I think this type of change would empower both users and artists to use Spotify more. Firstly, it would empower artists to allow Spotify to play their music because the metrics they would get per month would be more reflective of the size of their fan base, and how much importance that fan base puts on the artists' music than current metrics.
Secondly, it would empower users more, which I think is especially important for users between 18-32 years of age. While I am not an expert on the subject, I often find that users in this age group (my age group) care a great deal about having control over where their money ends up, which in this case means knowing which rights holders and/or artists are getting the money they are spending. I know I do. Switching to this system, while still not addressing the injustices that are felt within the relationship between rights holders and artists by many, would still allow users to have more of a say in who gets their money than the current system. On top of that, it might be helpfult for Spotify itself - if using Premium is the only way for users to feel empowered by knowing how their money is distributed, it may encourage people in the free tier to upgrade to Premium in order to feel empowered.
Just a thought. I'd love to hear what you and others have to say about this idea.

@Merik thanks for the warm welcome, and for the quick, informative response!
I had the chance to take a look at that page you linked to before my original post, and saw that paragraph you quoted, as well as the bullet point about paid users having a higher "per stream" rate. I guess what I was more interested in (and perhaps this is not the right place to ask this question?) was if there was more of an in-depth "why" behind their decision (and thanks again for linking to it!) documented anywhere that I might be able to read more about. Maybe I was missing something on that page (and please let me know if so!), but the only "why" that I could find was a sentence in the paragraph you quote above:
"We believe, however, that our service and the lives of artists will both be best if the World’s music fans enjoy more music than ever before in a legal, paid manner".
While it's great to see their opinion, I was more curious about the line of reasoning behind that position is all. Because I do wonder whether empowering premium users to have more fine-grained control over how their money is allocated, such as by doing pay "per user", might lead to both more paid users and more revenue for independent and/or lesser-known artists - and if that's something that Spotify has researched already, I would love to hear more about the pros and cons behind such an approach!
Thanks!

App is user-based rather than computer-based?

One thing I am really concerned about (and I really hope I am wrong) is that FCPX and Motion seem to be user based now rather than computer based. The structure for effects and such which I am concerned will affect how multiple accounts on the same machine will access the same features.
Has anyone played with this or noticed any change in the directory structure and placement of plugins, effects, generators etc. from the main librbary/application support/ that would affect this? Have some things been moved to the app package instead?
Moving forward I just want to know that when I have effects, plugins, generators, etc. that they are accessible to everyone on the computer. Perhaps I have a funky install and need to reinstall.
Tell me I am wrong! Please.

Thanks Tom. I thought and was hoping I was wrong. The few I have installed were setup for user-based installation except for FXFactory. Just wanted to be certain. I thought that would have been a change almost as bad as dropping FCS for sale the day of the FCP X release.

Recording NWBC scripts for End User Experience

Hi Experts,
I am recording NWBC scripts using the Netweaver Business Client GUI for loading and running it through Robots for End User Experience Monitoring. I don't see an option to "LogOff" in NWBC client while recording the script. We only have option to "Close all session and LogOff" in NWBC client .
When I am using this option, it closes all the sessions including the EEM Recorder also without saving the recording .
I need to include "LogOff" as the last step so that it doesn't leave any active sessions for each run by different robots.
I have a Solution Manager 7.1 SP10 and NWBC client 3.5 Patch 13.
Please help me achieve this.
Regards,
Manish K

Hi,
for a browser the recommendation is to open a new, empty tab to keep the browser alive while closing the tab with the session. All that with the hope that the backend will use the triggered event of collapsing tab to close session.
Maybe a similar strategy works for NWBC.. but I don't know the UI in detail.

Provisioning - Emailing User Name and Password to end user

In GRC AC 5.3 Access Enforcer when a new user account is provisioned, a URL or link is sent to the end user's email.
When the user clicks the link the user can view the user name and password.
My questions?
1. Should the end user have a UME role, to click the link and view the loginid and password?
2. Is this 'URL menthod' optional or, is there a configuration to change it back to plain text login and password like in the GRC AC 5.2 version?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Prakash,
Here are the responses to your questions:
1. Should the end user have a UME role, to click the link and view the loginid and password? No. End user does not need to have any role.
2. Is this 'URL menthod' optional or, is there a configuration to change it back to plain text login and password like in the GRC AC 5.2 version? Yes, it is optional.
You need to set Send Password in Email Reminder option to Yes at Configuration>Workflow>Email reminder-->Closing Tab.

Find the User ID through which the end user logged in BEx Analyzer?

I want to fetch the end user USERID who is executing the query. I am the end user and want to view a report, so I will login into BEx Analyzer with my userid and start executing query. Is there any way I can find that ID, in any table, program, function module or some where........?
I don't want 'created by', 'last changed by'. I want ID through which end user is logging into in Analyzer.
Also if the end user is logging in through RSRT wanted to know the SAP login user ID through which the user logged in?

Hi,
If you want to see the end user id that is running the query, and then open the workbook, select Layout from the menu u2013 Display Text elements. Click on All (or General, Filters or Variables based on your requirement). It will display the technical name, info provider, current user details. You can save it as existing work book transport to production, then when this query executed you can find end user login id.
May be you can check RSRWBTEMPLATE table for workbook users details. Mostly end user will not have access to RSRT.
Hope it helps you
Thanks

Using User Input Rather Than "strStartFolder".

Hi guys!
This script is very simple but it's part of a project I've been working on for some time now. Any VBS guru (or novice for that matter) will be able to tell what it does after a brief scan of the code. Again, like I said, this is a very simple
script.
For newcomers, this script siimply looks for duplicate files in a folder on one or more of your drives.
However, I'm having 2 issues...
First, I need to change the script to where the Wscript engine is used to ask for user input via an InputBox and for that data to be read into a variable which could be "strStartFolder"? If
not, any variable will do, but having to enter in location you wish to search by editing the script manually is not practical.
strStartFolder instead of someone having to edit the code manually each time and enter the path to the folder you wish to scan. In this example, I have last scanned the "Largest Vidz Appz and Musik Folder" on drive H:\. I did this manually
of course...
I have played with this using several methods which all only seemed to work "partially".
The second issue I am having is that you cannot scan just a drive. It MUST be a folder. If you input, for example, "H:\" you will receive an error stating that either permission has been denied or the path cannot be found.
Still being somewhat of a noob myself when it comes to scripting I'm sure there is some simple parameter I can/could have entered to fix this but I tried, "H:\*", H:\*\", H:\*.xxx"\ (.xxx being the extension of course) and other things).
Nothing seems to work but I believe that is because of who the original VBS was coded initially. Again, this is why I come to the greatest resource on the net.
One more thing, when all is said and done the script should ask for a user's input via Wscript so that an InputBox greets them with a message such as, "Please enter the location you wish to scan for duplicates:". And then, depending on their
answer (being of correct syntax, etc, etc) the script runs and outputs a file named "dups.txt" using the Cscript engine.
Please note that I have been running the script as follows to allow for output to a text document. "C:\cscript //nologo FindDuplicates.vbs > duplicates.txt", I would like to avoid having to do this as well if possible but it's ok if not.
Running this script by "double clicking" can be a disaster if you have tons of duplicate files. So asking for user input is the only area where Wscript need be used. But hey, this is why I'm here. For guidance...
This is cake for most of you so I will be interested in seeing the different ways you all come up with resolving this issue.
Anyway, here is the script! Thanks in advance for your help!
Dave
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strStartFolder = "H:\Largest Vidz, Appz and Musik Folder"
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
strName = objFile.Name
strPath = objFile.Path
If Not objDictionary.Exists(strName) Then
objDictionary.Add strName, strPath
Else
objDictionary.Item(strName) = objDictionary.Item(strName) & ";" & strPath
End If
Next
ShowSubfolders objFSO.GetFolder(strStartFolder)
For Each strKey in objDictionary.Keys
strFileName = strKey
If InStr(objDictionary.Item(strFileName), ";") Then
arrPaths = Split(objDictionary.Item(strFileName), ";")
Wscript.Echo strFileName
For Each strFilePath in arrPaths
Wscript.Echo strFilePath
Next
Wscript.Echo
End If
Next
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
For Each Subfolder in Folder.SubFolders
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Subfolder.Path)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
strName = objFile.Name
strPath = objFile.Path
If Not objDictionary.Exists(strName) Then
objDictionary.Add strName, strPath
Else
objDictionary.Item(strName) = objDictionary.Item(strName) & ";" & strPath
End If
Next
ShowSubFolders Subfolder
Next
End Sub
Again, thank you in advance for your help.. And why is some of my text here in this post showing in smaller font than other text? It seems to be dependent on the line you type on? This is,
of course, not the problem I came here to resolve, I am only curious. ;-)

Thank you for your response!
So if I used the "MyMessage" variable after the "=" in the line below then the users input should be the folder that is searched as long as your lines are added before this line correct?
Thanks again!

strStartFolder = "H:\Largest Vidz, Appz and Musik Folder"

HT1198 why a disk image on user/shared, rather than just a folder in that location called iPhoto?

surely if iPhoto is a regular shared folder in user/shared then there wont be time machine backup issues as with a disk image?

Because the disk image's permissions can easily be turned off and kept that way. Doing that with a regular shared folder would require that they be reset each time a different user accesses it.

Generating database in the user schema other than the login user

I have to generate database into ESP schema.
But in my office the schema specific users don't have create privileges(ex: ESP user for ESP schema).
Cause, we usually have to work on more than one project at a time, so our DBA gives all the privileges to my own id(ex: navya) and only select privilege to schema specific users. So, when i have to generate a database, if i give ESP login details, i get error of insufficient privilege. And if i give my personal login the database is getting generated in my schema. All i am doing right now is generating ddl files and in those files adding schema name in front of the objects.
But, is there any better way to do it.
Thanks.
Navya.

Please tell me the following things-
How can I mapped the period on the numbering series window ?

this should be same as Period Indicator in Posting Period window of selected period
How can I set the default periodset for all users. where is the option to set it for all users?
>> First, click the Drop down box of Posting Period in Numbering Window
select the current period. Numbering window display only the Numbering series linked with current Period.
select any one Numbering series on those by cliking on it's row no.
Click to Set as Default Button in right coner of Numbering window.
Select second option For All Users
Now, try to open the Document for which you have done this settings.

How do I ensure user name is shown rather than 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box?

How can I ensure user names are shown rather than just 'another user' on the 'File in Use' dialog box that appears when attempting to edit a checked out document in Microsoft Word/Excel?
All suggestions welcome.

If I recall correctly, that dialog is generated by the Office client product supporting that file type. There would be no way to modify it.

JCO passing "$MYSAPSSO2$ " rather than actual user

Hi,
I have some bespoke code migrated from EP5 to EP6.
EP6 is using MS ADS and user mapping.
When I log on to EP6 using ADM I get a JCO error. JCO is passing the UID "$MYSAPSSO2$" rather than the mapped user. Another bespoke app works fine for my ADS backed user so I'm confused how one app is SSOing OK while the other does not.
Any idea where the problem may lie?
TIA,
J

I was mistaken. The code was getting the user from the request and using it. Needed to update the code to get the mapped user...doh.

Error while importing the user Records through SCC7

Hi Basis Gurus,
We are doing the post DB Refresh Activities for a Sandbox .
Refresh is done from D21 to S21.
We are stuckup with an error while importing the user Records(scc7).
The exported user records request from D21 is dumped in the trans directory of S38 and imported in to S21 using TP commands at O/S level. The import is done successfully( RC 4 with warnings).
But now when we run SCC7 (post import activities) in the background the process is getting cancelled right in the begining.
Error Occured in SCC3 log
Table logging disabled in program RSCLXCOP by user SAP*"
R/3 Version is 4.6C OS:AIX5.3
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hey Sitaram,
I looks like you have incorrect parameters of client copy in the S21 system.
You can change the parameters in S21 system,
by executing report RSCLXCOP (via transaction SE38 or SA38) in S21.
Search parameters that related to table logging/sap*
good luck!
