Non power user cannot execute batch load

Hello all. I have a batch sccript being executed in the AftLoad event script. For a non power user, if they load there file, they receive an error after the load indicating Object Variable or With Block Variable not set. It points to the line in the batch script that is executing the serial batch. I can see that the batch executes, as in the OpenBatch folder the file is removed. However, the error appears and the load never finishes. If I make this user a power user, they are able to process the load without any issue. Any ideas?

The user needs to be granted access to all locations for the batch to work. Batch was originally designed as an admin only utility.

  • [Solved] Non-root user cannot access mounted ntfs filesystem

    Hi -,
    i have a dualboot system (arch/xfce + win7) and i use a ntfs partition /dev/sda2 to store files i use with both operating systems. I added the partition to fstab and it gets mounted, but i cannot access it with my non-root user. With root it works fine...
    My fstab:
    # cat /etc/fstab
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
    LABEL=home /home ext4 defaults 0 1
    LABEL=root / ext4 defaults 0 1
    LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0
    /dev/sda2 /media/sda2 ntfs defaults 0 2
    Is there any option that allows all users to use the mounted device? Or how is this usually done ...

    See: NTFS-3G for important setup information.
    My fstab line looks like:
    /dev/sdb1 /media/Win_USB ntfs-3g uid=1000,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=0022 0 0
    This sets up some important parameters which the NTFS-3G Wiki Page covers.  Basically, "ntfs" is only a basic driver and is built into the kernel.  "ntfs-3g" is a much better, and less disk-eating, driver that you should install and use if you need the drive in Linux any more than occasionally.  My fstab line makes my user (1000) the owner and the masks lets me write and etc to it.  When you install NTFS-3G it is automatically used when you use the mount command to mount NTFS drives.  In fstab, as above, you would specify it explicitly.
    You can find your own user number by entering "id" at a terminal.

  • Non-root user cannot umount a SAMBA share if there is "SPACE" with the

    I already post this to the bugs report http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9672, but I would like to see if someone in the forum can help.
    Description:
    If there are "SPACE" in the SAMBA share name. Then, a non-root user can mount that share, but cannot umount it with "umount" command. It gives "mount desagrees with the fstab" error. root can mount/umount without any problem.
    Also, user can umount the share by "smbumount" without any problem.
    Additional info:
    * package version(s)
    samba 3.0.28A-1
    util-linux-ng 2.13.0.1-2
    * config and/or log files etc.
    /etc/fstab
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Add a line in /etc/fstab as the following
    //QNAP-500GB/USB\040Disk\0401 /mnt/eBooks smbfs workgroup=GROUPNAME,username=xxxxxx,ip=xxxxxxxx,password=xxxxxx,noauto,noatime,users,rw 0 0
    as you can see that SAMBA share name "USB Disk 1" was replace by "USB\040Disk\0401".
    2. Change UID of/usr/bin/smbmnt and /usr/bin/smbumount by
    chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbmnt
    chmod u+s /usr/bin/smbumount
    3. Change the ownership of the mount path for this SAMBA share to a non-root user by
    chown username:users /mnt/eBooks
    4. mount as a non-root user (username)
    mount /mnt/eBooks
    5. ERROR! if umount as a non-root user; NO ERROR if umount as root.
    [ning@HP-m8100y ~]$ umount /mnt/eBooks/
    umount: /mnt/eBooks mount disagrees with the fstab
    6. This SAMBA share can be umounted by
    smbumount /mnt/eBooks

    Did you try using %20 instead of a space?  I know it works for URLs...worth a shot.

  • Non-admin user cannot access Essbase server level variables

    Version 11.1.1.3
    Essbase Substitution variables are created at server level. Users are getting error in FR report that uses the Subsitution Variable -- Essbase Error(1051085): You do not have sufficient access to get this substitution variable. Also, users cannot access Substitution variable in SmartView. However, users can access variables created at database level. Users are provisioned as "Server Access" to Essbase and filter access to ASO application "MGTRPTG", where MGTRPTG is an ASO essbase application for reporting. We tried the same provisioning in two other environments and it seems to be working fine.
    User is type "Essbase and Planning" provisioned with essbase "server access", application mgtrptg "filter", Reporting and Analysis "analyst", "dynamic viewer" and "Explorer". In addition, it is given a filter "REP_DME_GALB" which restricts 2 dimensions (Division and Geography).
    Steps taken to resolve:
    1. Existing users were deprovisioned and reprovisioned with no effect.
    2. Created brand new identically provisioned users in Prod and QA. QA user can access the server level var and Prod user cannot
    3. Created a brand new server level variable in Prod and this cannot be accessed.
    4. All services have already been restarted several times.
    5. SR has been opened.
    Temporary workaround:
    By creating a duplicate of the same set of variables at the database level, the reports work. This can only be a temporary workaround as the client cannot be expected to maintain two sets of substitution variables since there are 3 applications using these server level variables.
    Thank you for any ideas!
    Jennifer

    You have stumbled on a defect which is resolved in the Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 patch 6 and above. If you have your planning preferences set to indent members it will cause forms which have page selections to show as invalid in SmartView.
    You can either patch Planning or turn off the preference. The patches are available from http://metalink3.oracle.com and require account which has been associated with your client ID.
    P.S. Usually it's not a good practice to use the admin id.

    Hi,
    Can you post a screenshot for this situation?
    Sometimes, the third party credential provider would lead to some issue like this, I suggest you check the
     current credential provider via the following path:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\x\LastLoggedOnProvider
    You should compare the result with the values in the following path:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\credential providers
    If the current value is third party credential provider, try to disable it:
    To disable the provider add a REG_DWORD value "Disabled"=1 to that provider’s CLSID subkey.
    The provider will be disabled on the next session creation (sessions are created when you log off, switch users, or reboot.

  • Linux non-oracle user cannot connect to database using TNS

    LS,
    I've installed Oracle 11gR2 on a linux box (name="ilmserver") running CentOS 5.4 (based on RHEL).
    Created user "oracle" and groups "oinstall" and "dba".
    Installation under user "oracle" went fine, and logged in as "oracle" user I can - naturally - access the database easily (via SQL+, or using SQL Developer it works via Basic, TNS, and Advanced (=jdbc)).
    I have a second user on the linux box called "informatica", on which I have installed Informatica ILM 5.3.2, which uses the Oracle database as its repository.
    The "informatica" user has been granted the same groups as the "oracle" user, i.e. "oinstall" and "dba".
    I have severe problems accessing the Oracle database as the "informatica" user.
    Using SQL Developer I can access the database using the "Basic" method, but not TNS.
    But guess what: for ILM to work to its fullest extent I need to implement an environment variable called TNS_ADMIN.
    I have implemented it, it sits in bash_profile and as such works fine:
    +[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ echo $TNS_ADMIN+
    +/home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin+
    But as for being able to access it:
    +[informatica@ilmserver ~]$ cat $TNS_ADMIN/tnsnames.ora+
    cat: /home/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora: Permission denied
    Somehow I thought that granting "oinstall" group to "informatica" user would take care of this. Obviously it doesn't. I also granted "dba" group to "informatica", to no avail apparently.
    This is then - I assume - also the reason that when I want to connect using TNS from within SQL Developer, the dropdown list is empty (because it's not able to read TNSNAMES.ORA).
    Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
    Thanks heaps!
    Cheers, Patrick

    Naturally the "oracle" user has full access to its own directories.
    A thought just occurred to me. I assume that theoretically it's possible to grant read privilige to informatica user on all these directories... would that do the trick?
    But even if so, makes me wonder whether that is "best practice".
    Also, I cannot imagine I'm the first person to encounter this scenario, and therefore there must be some standard approach to enable this.
    Any suggestions/thoughts?
    As for the TNSNAMES.ORA suggestion, I guess that is possible. Makes administration of TNSNAMES a bit more cumbersome though, as in, 2 files to maintain... risk of getting out of sync when making 'quick and dirty' changes without thinking things through too much (which shouldn't happen... but sometimes does anyway).
    I'd prefer a solution where "informatica" has genuine access to TNSNAMES.ORA.
    Thanks, Patrick

  • Non-administrator users cannot burn files (no error)

    Hello,
    clean install of Windows 7 SP1 x64, domain joined. Only local administrators are able to successfully burn a CD using Windows Explorer. When standard domain user tries to do it, the window with burning progress always suddenly disappears during burning without
    any error or warning, and the "what do you want to do with blank CD" autoplay dialog is shown again. Needless to say the CDs are half-burnt and to be thrown away.
    No error or warning in event viewer either, happens on all client computers. Burning using player compatible mode (not USB flash disk mode). Since local admins can finish the burning without any problems, I believe the discs, drive and drivers
    are fine. No GPO controlling removable media (I guess that would result in an error or inability to start burning, anyway).
    3rd party software seems to burn just fine even for standard users.
    Any ideas what should we check to get the Windows Explorer burning working for standard users?
    Thanks,
    Jan

    Hi Jan,
    I considered that there should be any file which is access denied during burning when you use standard user.
    Please install Process monitor to capture the process during burning when using standard user, and find our the access denied file or registry key, then take ownership:
    Solving Access Denied Errors Using Process Monitor
    http://improve.dk/solving-access-denied-errors-using-process-monitor/
    Also, please check if the policy for CD rom is set:
    User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer\Remove CD Burning Features
    Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options -> Devices: Restrict CD-Rom access to locally logged-on user only

  • A Solution for Enabling Sandbox activation by non admin users for testing (OIM 11gr2 PS2)

    I just wanted to post what i came up with as a solution the the problem of not being able to Test the effects of sandbox changes for non admin level users prior to their publication.  We are constantly making changes to the UI through sandboxes, the problem is rolling a sandbox back isn't easy, and we cannot be sure of the effects they will have on non administrative users until they are published, since the out of the box sandbox link isn't available to non Sysadmin level users.
    To allow these non admin user accounts to test the effects of sandbox changes in our development environment, I did the following (as always, follow at your own risk):
    Create and activate a new sandbox.
    Close all open tabs (including the Home and Sandbox tabs) and click the "Customize" link.
    Click the view -> source drop down in the upper left.
    After the source is visible, click the Accessibility or Sandbox link to find the area that you will add the new "UserSandboxTest" (call it whatever you want) link.
    Add a new commandImageLink directly in the panelGroupLayout: horizontal item before the "switcher" item (see the UserSandboxLink in my screen shot below):
    Edit the Link you just inserted, Entering whatever you want the link to display as in your browser in the "Text" field.
    Export the sandbox.
    Unzip the exported sandbox and navigate to the IdmShellV2.jspx.xml (path should be: \templates\mdssys\cust\site\site).
    Edit the IdmShellV2.jspx.xml file and find the new item you added in step 5.
    Add the following to the commandImageLink xml item: actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.uiShell.context.launchSandboxes}" rendered="#{oimcontext.currentUser.roles['SANDBOX_USER'] != null}".  Note: I used a new custom enterprise role, SANDBOX_USER, to control the display of the new link, You should substitute whatever EL conditions you need in the rendered property.
    Save your IdmShellV2.jspx.xml file and zip the contents back up, just like you would for any other customization.
    Import your newly edited sandbox back into the target environment.
    Publish the sandbox.
    This seems to work great for allowing us to test other sandbox changes effects on different types of users. 

    On step 10, adding the check to determine if the user should have access to the role ended up breaking access to the unauthenticated pages like the self registration page and the forgot userid/user login pages.  Non-authenticated users cannot execute the method to return the role, so that fails which leaves the page not loading.  To correct this I changed the rendered property to rendered="#{securityContext.authenticated}".  This prevents the link from displaying on non authenticated pages, but displays for anyone else who's logged on.  We only plan on using this in our development environment where no one but developers and system admins have access anyway, so it's not an issue that everyone will see the link.  I wouldn't recommend putting this in an environment where end users will be logging in and testing without developing a method (or finding another way to limit the display) that can be called by unauthenticated users to prevent them from seeing the link.

  • OD users cannot log on without server home directory

    I am new to OD and am trying to configure a working setup for a few Macs on the network. The server is set up as an OD master, and while we are running Active Directory, the Mac server is not integrated into the AD network. DHCP and DNS are handled by the server that provides AD.
    I have set up a few test users and bound a Mac to the OD server for testing. I've found that if I don't specify a home directory for a particular user in workgroup manager (i.e. I just leave it at (none)), the user cannot log on to the bound Mac. The log in window begins to slide as if it is accepting the password, then stops and shakes and brings me back to the login window without any error message. If I specify a home directory on the server, it will then accept the username and password, show that I am logging in as said user, then display the message, "You are unable to log in to the user account [user] at this time. Logging into the account failed because an error occurred."
    I'm guessing the error message relates to a permissions issue with the way the home directories are set up. But honestly, I'd rather the users just have their home directories stored locally rather than on the server. How do I configure it so that the users are able to log on and their home directories are stored locally?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance that can be provided!

    After playing around with the system some more, I found that I had to explicitly specify the local home directory. I set it to /Users/ and everything seems to be working now.

  • Non-root user can't start Apache on port 443

    Today I've been attempting to get SSL working for my Oracle Applications 11i (11.5.10.2) installation and I just hit a small problem. I've followed all of the Oracle literature I've come across, which instructed me to create a new (non-root) user to own the database tier and the applications tier. I've also followed the instructions for configuring SSL ([Doc 123718.1|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/f?p=130:14:6976756808231635106::::p14_database_id,p14_docid,p14_show_header,p14_show_help,p14_black_frame,p14_font:NOT,123718.1,1,1,1,helvetica]) and the SSL wizard in OAM defaults to the standard HTTPS port (443). However, because 443 is a privileged port, a non-root user cannot bind to it. In other words, the Oracle literature itself has led me to an impossible situation. This is what I see in the Apache error log:
    [Fri May 15 15:05:03 2009] [crit] (13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to port 443
    At this point, I see two choices:
    1. Run the application tier services as root.
    2. Change the SSL port to something greater than 1024 (i.e. 4443).
    I'm leaning towards option #2, since option #1 negates the advantage of using a non-root user to begin with. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Does Oracle have any recommendations for this scenario?

    Hi,
    You just need to start Apache as root (not all the application services). For Option 1, the application tier files should be owned by applmgr/oracle user (not root), and for Option 2, you do not need to change the port (though it is valid option). Just follow the steps in the following document.
    Note: 356080.1 - How to run Apache on Port 80 in Apps 11i
    https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=356080.1
    BTW, this is mentioned in the document "if you have chosen port 443 (or any port under 1024) for your SSL port, you will have to start Apache as root".

  • Non-admin users and Time Machine

    We have a 1-1 laptop program with 7th and 8th grade students. The students are not admins of their own laptops.
    This year we gave each student an external hard drive and had them use Time Machine to back-up their accounts. The problem was when a student needed to restore from Time Machine, we needed to enter the administrator's password.
    We'll be switching to Lion over the summer, and by default, a non-admin user cannot even turn on Time Machine without an adminsitrator's password, which makes Time Machine useless. I don't want to have our students go back to manually dragging and dropping all of their school data (and movies and music) to back it all up (what a messy process).
    Is there any way around the need for an admin password to use Time Machine?

    Time Machine (the application) is already allowed. That's not the problem.
    In order to set-up Time Machine the first time, users have to open the Time Machine Preference, and that is locked. When a user tries to unlock it, they need to enter an administrator's password, but our students are only standar users.
    We don't want to have to enter that password for 250 machines each time students need to access that preference.
    In addition, an administrator's password is needed to restore anything from a Time Machine drive, and we'd like a way around that too.

  • IPad with wifi only cannot send sms or mms to non apple users. Operating system is 8.1.3

    I am using an iPad 2 with iOS 8.1.3. I was told that with this operating system, I would be able to send sms or mms to non-iso users. I was able to do so when I originally upgraded to 8.1.3, but am no longer able to send. The person's name comes up in red and there is an exclamation point.

    An iPad cannot natively send an SMS. The SMS text protocol sends its data within the voice channel spectrum of a cell phone voice connection. So, only a cell phone can actually send SMS texts, and only over a cellular voice connection.
    If you were doing it before, you must have been using an app. There are apps that will allow you to send SMS texts via cellular providers SMS-email gateways, e.g. as an email to [email protected]
