Report Shared Folder

Hi
Is it possible to restrict or grant access to the report shared folder by specific user level (not by role)?
For example there are 03 sub shared folder & user access should be:
Folder A (user1 only)
Folder B (user2, user3)
Folder C (user 4 only)

Thanks Max for quick reply. Actually I want to create different reports for number of users, and each of them will not be able to view other's report.
For example:
User 1 will be able to view/download Report 1 only
User 2 will be able to view/download Report 2 only
My first option is put in the Shared folder and litmit access to the subfolder but this does not work. Do you have any work around for this?
Thanks & Regards
HP

Diff b/w creation of Report in Shared folder and in My folder

Dear All,
May i know what's the diff b/w creation of Report in Shared folder and in My folder.
Is there any features changes.

Hi,
you can add shared folders to roles and so give users assigned to this role the permission to use the reports in that folder. Reports and folders in My Folders are not sharable.

Reports missed in Favorites Shared Folder(in web report)

Hi experts,

Dear shah,
you have to create roles per transaction pfcg and assign them to your End-Users, per Query Designer/ WAD or Bex Analyzer you can then publish queries/web templates/workbooks into this role.
Alternatively you can add/change/remove a object per transaction pfcg.

Moving a report to a shared folder after scheduling .

Hi,
I have a requirement that i need to move the report to a shared folder after it had scheduled. Can you please help me.
Thanks.

Well, you'd have to delete the Movies folder before you could replace it, and deleting the Movies folder would also delete its contents, thereby making the replacement impossible. It's not really surprising that the Finder was confused.
Simple solution: rename the parent folder.

How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p

how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file

Hi,
Use GUI_UPLOAD to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data in a file on the presentation server or use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Need help! how to open a shared folder thru web browser

Hi to all LV'ers,
as the subject implies, i am trying to find a way to view the shared folder w/in the company network thru web browser. is this possible? is there a much easy way?? i never been used FTP vi's before or any other vi's to deal with this situation but i successfully used web publishing tool to make an access of LV front panel remotely using "web publishing tool". btw, im using LV 8.5.1.
my purpose for this is to let our boss to have a quick access of the data from excel files (w/ "s" because many excel file report is generated everyday for data updates) resided in remote computer (this computer runs the LV program and we can view its front panel remotely thru web publishing tool but i also need to view the folder of this computer that contains files). that is why im finding a way to have an access not only a specific excel file but a specific folder. ofcourse, we can access the shared folder thru "my network places>>entire network>>microsoft windows network" if the folder is shared but our boss is far more convenient if we LV programmers can create a button to automatically lead them to the folder containing files they needed.
I hope anyone already done dealing with this can shared their solutions.
deeply appreciate your help!!
regards,
ivel

i think what i told in my 1st msg makes things more complicated than what i really need, sorry for that.. but for sure, i need this to be done in LV because the data from excel files was generated by LV program and this LV program is displayed in our web (thru web publishing tool), see picture below.
what i want to do is to add a button here in front panel that when pushed, will show the folder consisting of several excel files. with this, i can choose what particular excel file to be opened. sorry guys i make you confused in my situation. here i attached i simple VI to let me open the excel file but unfortunately when i select the desired excel file, the dialog says "path not found". when i browse and open the excel file manually using "entire network>>microsoft windows network>>remote computer name>> shared folder>>excelfile", i can successfully opened it.
i dont know why i cannot make a valid path using my attached vi. maybe there's something wrong with my program,please let me know. the attached vi is LV 8.5.1. i will used this vi as a subvi later in the front panel shown above.
thanks in advanced for help..!

When accessing shared folder - 'You might not have permission to use this network resource" .. A device attached to the system is not functioning

On a Windows 2008 R2 server that had been working fine, all of a sudden some shared folders became inaccessible. Clicking on them returned the following: "<Folder> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. A device attached to the system is not functioning."
If I create another share with a different name for that same folder, it works fine. If I delete the original share then recreate it with the same name, I get the same error. However, if I right click on the problematic share and select 'map
network drive' that works. So this would not appear to be a permission issue.
I discovered this problem because the path for mapping the home folder as a property of their AD account stopped working.
I have tried most of the common things found on the internet. I've tried accessing via IP, same issue. While I only have a couple 2003 servers, those can access this resource.
At this point, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated. I also have some reports of potential issues with some printer mappings too which I will have to investigate in the morning.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

Hi,
Can you access the shard folder locally? Is a specific server cannot access the shared folder? Please try to Boot your server in Clean Mode to check if some third-party software cause the issue.

Shared folder crashes user(s) Finder

Out of the blue, a handful of users (in 10.5.6 client) are experiencing problems with a shared folder on the server (10.4.11 server). Upon mounting the file server a user will try to navigate to a nested folder called 'People' and then the spinning wheel shows up and the Finder crashes a few seconds later. I've repaired permissions, changed their status as in the file sharing group and still the same problem. Anyone experience this problem? Below is the transcript from CrashReporter...

Another remote user is having the same problem and, after looking at the CrashReporter log, the initial section of the report is identical to what others have seen. Could this be a spotlight issue on the file server? Finder is crashing as soon as a folder on the shared volume is selected in an open finder window. Ideas?

In my system preferences, my sharing folder will not let me access it. All my photo booth share button is grayed out. One more thing, My photoshop will not let me import any photographs. I believe this all has to do with this. Any way to fix this issue?

Sharing the /Users/Shared folder

My wife is using a Macbook Air (10.5.4) and would like to access photos stored on our iMac G4 (10.4.11).
She can connect to the G4 using cmd-K but the only volumes in /User that show up are those of the four family members, the /User/Shared volume is not visible and this is where the photos are; from the G4 of course all users have access. I checked the permissions on the folder and it looks correct...rwx for all.
Also, in her own volume on the G4 she cannot open the system standard folders (Movies, Desktop, Library, etc.) from the Air but she can open any folders and docs she created.
I tried Mac Help but didn't find anything useful.

As BDAqua reported, you'll need SharePoints to add the iMac G4 Tiger Shared folder as a mount point.
When attempting to access her own volume on the iMac G4 Tiger from the MacBook Air running Leopard, is she attempting to connect as a guest user or as a registered user? If just clicking on the iMac icon in a Finder window's sidebar, it might be trying to allow login as a guest, not a registered user. Try connecting from Finder's menubar > Go > Connect to server (then enter afp://{networkname_of_imacG4}) or Go > Network (and doubleclick on iMac icon) and when prompted to save password to keychain, do so ‑‑ if no login password (to her account on the iMac) has been previously saved in her Keychain (on the MBA), it would restrict her to logging in as a guest.

IPhoto Library in the Shared folder?

Isn't it possible to place the iPhoto library in the shared folder and then under each user account, link their iPhoto library to it, granting them both full permissions to the files?
I know I've done this once before, but I recall I had to do something tricky with permissions, possibly involving the Terminal

If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. then:
Quit iPhoto in both accounts
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Finally: If you’re comfortable in the Terminal, and understand File Permissions, ACL’s etc., some folks have reported success using the process outlined here . (Note this page refers to 10.4, but it should also work on 10.5). If you’re not comfortable with the terminal, and don’t know an ACL from the ACLU, then you’re best doing something else... Oh, and the warning about simultaneous users still applies.

Can't expand the folders under the shared folder in catalog new analysis?

Hello All,
When i am trying to create a new Analysis and in the catalog section when i expand the shared folder i can only see one level the folders under neath the shared folders cannot expand the folders under the parent folders. for example i have three main folders under shared folders Finance, Marketing and Customer when i try to expand the finance folder it doesn't expand and when i try to open marketing it expands by it doesn't show anything in those folders but when i try to open the folders directly from home --> catalog--> shared folders--> Finance--> ..... it shows every thing under those folders folders sub folders and all that stuff. I am hoping it is not something to do with permissions because i am able to open here. Please advice

If you do not have an object saved in the folder it will not dispaly the folder when you are in Answers navigating through the folder structure. Ensure you have saved at least one object (Prompt/Report) in the folder.

Cannot delete file from shared folder

While I was looking for another file in my shared folder, I discovered a jpg file named shannonhenry.jpg. All it appears to be is a school photo of a boy, maybe 14 or so. I tried to move it to trash to delete it because I do not know who this kid is, and I got an error message saying that I do not have sufficient priviledges. Anyone know what this file is or could be????

Well Kelley, that photo did not come with the system so it had to come from you or someone else putting in the Shared folder.
Choose the file and "get info" (command- i) turn the dislclosure triangle on "Ownership & Permissions" make sure you can "read & write" and make yourself the "owner"(open the lock and enter your admin password).
Then check under General, turn the disclosure triangle and be sure the "locked" box in NOT checked.
Let us know.

2 questions: default to shared folder and switcher sort order

I've got two Finder questions to which I haven't found an answer:
1) Can the "Finder>Preferences>General>New Finder windows open" option ever be set to a folder on a file server? When I try to do this, I can select the shared folder, but the pop-up menu reverts to the previous selection (e.g. Home). I suspect that since a server cannot be guaranteed to be accessible, the Finder refuses to allow it to be assigned as a default location.
2) I've got a switcher friend who would like to replicate in Finder windows the Windows Explorer behavior of sorting all folders to the top of the list. Is there a utility that will do this? List View sorted by Kind works for this chap only if there are no items with a Kind of alias, application, etc. that will sort higher than "Folder".

1) the answer appears to be yes but if you ever try to open a new window when the server isn't available the preference reverts to your computer.
2) no, at this time there is no Finder pref nor utility that sorts folders to the top. Two solutions exist but both are kludges. First, name every folder with a leading space, this forces the sort to the top. Second, PathFinder is a Finder semi-replacement which does allow the option of sorting folders to the top. PF is an interesting product but because it doesn't have all of Finder's AppleScript behaviors it cannot perfectly replace the Finder and having, in effect, two Finders is annoying.

Syncing to Shared folder?

When I sync my Ipod with Itunes it adds all songs to a shared folder which is only accessible while using wifi. How do I make my songs accessible always?

Beause you are not downloading the songs to the iPod, you are just streaming them that requires wifi.
If y hae iOS 7, the go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and turn off SHOW ALL, then only downloaded media will show.
Also what do you mean by shared folder?
Are you in the Music app?
