  • How not to notify a user when the task is cancel

    Hi,
    I have this workflow in GP,
    Apply Timeoff --> Recommend Timeoff --> Approved Timeoff
    Where Applicant can apply for Timeoff (via ApplyTimeoff block), RecommendingOfficer can "Recommend" or "Reject" timeoff (via the RecommendTimeoff block), and finally the Approving Officer can "Approved" or "Reject" the recommendation (via the ApprovedTimeoff block)
    The GP is configured in such that the ApplyTimeOff block have successful result state Target to RecommendTimeoff block. In the RecommendTimeoff block, it has the successful result state, targets to the ApprovedTimeoff block whereas the unsuccessful result state target to Terminate. Likewise for the ApprovedTimeoff block, it has both the successful and unsuccessful result state target to Terminate.
    Those roles are in GP and they are map to the EP Group respectively. And in each group, there are EP users tag to it.
    During Application of the ApplyTimeoff, I have a drop down list of RecommendingOfficer which I can select in WD UI. And Once I selected the particular person from the list, the request will route to the RecommendingOfficer as a pending task in the GP Runtime. From here, that selected person from that Recommending Officer can "Recommend" or "Reject" the request.
    When that person from the RecommendingOfficer approved, the request will route again and this time to the Approving Officer.
    However, when the reject the request, the task will also be route to the Approving officer.
    How do I configured in such as way that when the recommending Officer reject, it request will not be route to the Approving Officer as a pending task?
    can help? Thank you.
    thank you.

    Let occasional users log in as guests
    A guest user account lets others use your Mac without setting up a full account or using someone else’s. You can use parental controls to limit guests’ activities, and specify which folders they can view.   [by default, they cannot see any other users' files]
    In Users & Groups preferences, select Guest User in the list of accounts.
    Select “Allow guests to log in to this computer.”
    If you like, select “Enable parental controls,” then click Open Parental Controls. For details about the limits you can set, see:Set up parental controls
    To let guests use your shared folders from another computer on the network, select “Allow guests to connect to shared folders.”
    When guests log in, they don’t need a password.
    ... and anything created while logged in as Guest is deleted when you log out.

  • How do I clear old files when the passwords are long forgotten?

    Ditto

    The idea of password-protecting documents is that they can only be opened by someone who has the password.  If it was made easy to crack these passwords, the whole idea would be useless.
    However, I am pretty sure that if you google that there are some 3rd-party software that may offer such services.

  • How should i do when my iphone show "iphone this update is not available for this apple id because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"

    how should i do when my iphone show "iphone this update is not available for this apple id because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"

    I came across this issue on my iPad and iPhone today. I did some research and it was suggested that you need to change your region to wherever in the world you originally purchased the app.
    This worked for me.
    I had tried signing in and out, deleting apps and resetting my devices; because I had never used any Apple ID except for my own personal one, I thought that those options would sort it. I changed my region to the uk (where the apps were purchased) and now they have updated with no other issues.
    I hope this helps

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.
    Rich

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.

  • [Forum FAQ] How do I send an email to users when the data in the report have been changed in Reporting Services?

    Introduction
    There is a scenario that the data in the report changes infrequently, so the users want to be informed and get the most updated data once the data changes. By default, report server always run the report with the most recent data. Is there a way that we
    can subscribe the report, so that we can send an email to users when the data in the report has been changed?
    Solution
    To achieve this requirement, we can create a subscription for the report, then create a trigger in the table which including the report data. When this table has data insert, update or delete, it will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email
    to users.
    In the Report Manager, create a subscription for the report and make it only execute one time.
    When we create a subscription, a corresponding SQL Agent job will be created. Then we can use the query below to find out the job based on ScheduleId:
    -- List all SSRS subscriptions
    USE [ReportServer];  -- You may change the database name.
    GO 
    SELECT USR.UserName AS SubscriptionOwner
          ,SUB.ModifiedDate
          ,SUB.[Description]
          ,SUB.EventType
          ,SUB.DeliveryExtension
          ,SUB.LastStatus
          ,SUB.LastRunTime
          ,SCH.NextRunTime
          ,SCH.Name AS ScheduleName   
              ,RS.ScheduleId
          ,CAT.[Path] AS ReportPath
          ,CAT.[Description] AS ReportDescription
    FROM dbo.Subscriptions AS SUB
         INNER JOIN dbo.Users AS USR
             ON SUB.OwnerID = USR.UserID
         INNER JOIN dbo.[Catalog] AS CAT
             ON SUB.Report_OID = CAT.ItemID
         INNER JOIN dbo.ReportSchedule AS RS
             ON SUB.Report_OID = RS.ReportID
                AND SUB.SubscriptionID = RS.SubscriptionID
         INNER JOIN dbo.Schedule AS SCH
             ON RS.ScheduleID = SCH.ScheduleID
    ORDER BY USR.UserName
             ,SUB.ModifiedDate ;
    Create a trigger in the table which including the report data.
    CREATE TRIGGER reminder
    ON test.dbo.users
    AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
    AS
    exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
    Please note that the command ‘exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'’ is coming from the job properties. We can go to SQL Server Agent Jobs, right-click the corresponding job to open
    the Steps, copy the step command, and then paste it to the query.
    Then when the user table has data insert, update or delete, the trigger will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email to users.

    Thanks,
    Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
    For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
    in a supported way?

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I delete a user account to regain the space on my HD?

    How do I delete a user account I am not using to regain the space on the HD?

    System Preferences - Accounts - choose account in the left panel and click the "-" button to delete. You'll want to choose "Delete immediately" to save the space (the "Save in disk image" option will keep the files in an image in your Users folder, which saves you no space).

  • How to find the when the password is changed for a system User

    Hi to all,
    We have a test database where our application connects to system user. The application runs more than a month without any issues, But suddenly my system and sys password gets changed. I wonder how this would happen. I have checked with DBA_USERS to check whether the account gets locked, But the account is in the Open state.
    I need to find out when the password gets changed for these users and who changed it? Is there any possible to trace it or we need to enable the auditing to find it in future.
    Kindly let me know the possible ways.
