In Addition to my previous response:
I meant to include the following:
Some of the fields that need to be properly defined with attributes are:
       System: must have the know SAP system defined here
       Role Approver (i presently are using most of the roles without having need for approval; I created a user called NOAPPRV in AE)
       Functional Area: need to have all the areas defined that roles will be assigned to
       Company: I only have one company so that's an easy one
Some areas I presently do not use but found they must ne coded and coded properly:
       ResponsibilityID:   N/A (coded as is)
       CommentsMandatory: NO (coded as is)
       Parent Role Owner:   NO
       Business Process: NA (I believe I originally coded N/A and it did not like that)

       Reaffirm Period: presently I am using 0 (zero)
       LastReaffirm: presently using 12/31/9999
Hope this helps a bit
I wanted to include an attachment with a sample of my Role Import spreadsheet but I'm not sure exactly how to do that; if I figure that out or someone can provide me the process I will include it

Access Enforcer/ CUP - Export/ Import?

Hi, I wanted to know if there is a export functionality in the access enforcer/CUP (GRC v 5.2)?? I wanted to export the workflows and other items I have created outside the current environment and import it to a different environment. Is this actually possible??
Thanks,
Ken

Hi,
You can go to configuration -> initial system data and select the checkboxes in front of the data you want to export. Click on export button and save the file. Now, you can import this data by going to same place in the other CUP system and import the file with 'clean and insert' option.

Backup of Access Enforcer 5.2 Implementation

Hello experts,
I need to backup Access Enforcer Implemenation in 5.2, before migrating to 5.3. Based on this, I have following questions.
1- The SAP Migration guide says backup all installation files* you used when you originally installed your current version of Access Enforcer. The SAP Migration guide does not provide any details.
What are the installation files precisely that I need to backup?
2- The SAP Migration guide on page 68 in chapter 3.1.1. says backup "existing data".
What is the existing data that I should backup?
Thanks,
Haleem

Haleem,
Take back up of your SAP<SID>DB or take back-up of the whole server. Follow the back-up procedure your client/company has.

PD profiles in Access Enforcer

Hello
Regarding setting up PD Profiles in Access Enforcer,
1. Are PD Profiles set up manually in AE
or
2. Is there a connector configuration that derives PD profiles from the HR system
0r
3. Is there a flat file upload of PD profile data in AE, like we do with roles.
Can you also point me to any guide in SAP marketplace / Wiki How to Guides, that describes setting up PD profiles in Access Enforcer.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi Selva,
I am not able to get what exactly you are looking for. You want to know which values you need to enter for parameter values then it is explained in the name itself.
To understand what to enter in parameter values either you need to know EP or need to work with EP administrator. It won't be easy to explain you each and every parameter. If you don't know where to find a particular parameter then I should be able to help you.

Crashes when running applications from network share - "Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons"

Hi,
starting a couple of weeks ago, we get the following error(s) when running applications from a network share. We don't know what causes this, we are not aware of any major changes in our network infrastructure or client/Server configuration. We did upgrade
a lot of machines to Windows 8, but the issue also occurs on older Win7 computers.
We figured out a workaround though: The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share (like
\\share.domain.Company.com) and only cause problems when running from
\\share directly. They have worked fine for years without FQDN though.
Any ideas?
Error Details (the Kind of error differs greatly):
# 1 #
Log Name: Application
Source: Application Error
Date: ...
Event ID: 1005
Task Category: (100)
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: vmDEV
Description:
Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program XYZ
because of this error.
Program: XYZ
File:
The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
User Action
1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
- It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
- It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

Hi,
>>The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share
It sounds like a DNS suffix issue. When this issue occurs, please try to ping share on the client, then check if the corresponding IP address is correct. If the IP address is wrong, please adjust your settings of DNS to make sure that the client can resolve
the share correctly.
If it's very hard to change the settings of the DNS for some reason, as a work around, we can add the entry into the clients' hosts file.

Do you have antiVirus installed on the sharepoint servers?
These folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use file-level antivirus software in SharePoint. If these folders are not excluded, you may see unexpected behavior. For example, you may receive "access denied" error messages when files
are uploaded.
Please follow this KB and exclude the folders from Scanning.

All my desktop icons are Adobe Reader icons, can't access related files

I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess. After that, just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file. These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel, etc.
Tech support at Adobe recommended I use System Restore, but it also is now an Adobe icon, so I can't open it. If anyone can help reverse this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
David

Hi,
This also happened to me this morning. Now all my icons are PDF symbols and Reader opens when I try to open any other program. I uninstalled Reader it and it fixed itself but when I reinstalled the program the same issue occurred.
I wanted to make PDF reader the default application when openning PDF's vs. Distiller, tinkered and broke my computer.
Any clues on how to bring everything back to normaL?

Not able to access a file referenced from a HTML file

Hi,
Using UCM i am checking two files aboutus.html and aboutusBanner.png in About Us FOLDER.Checkin is happening perfectly well.
Now In JDEVELOPER I am creating a webcenter application (named MyPortalApplication) and accessing those file using a connection to the UCM server.I am able to fetch the files under
Application Resouces->Connection ->Content Repository ->UCM ->Contribution Folder ->About Us
UCM I am using a connection name.
My aboutus.html file in accessing the aboutusBanner.png to display some image.
Below is code snippet for aboutus.html ...
<table align="CENTER" width="930px" BORDER=0 bgcolor="white">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="aboutusBanner.png" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">
<p style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:14px">
<br>
Go Green Eat Fresh opened in 1992 by three Italian brothers with a vision:
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
But when i am running the application that banner image (aboutusBanner.png) is not getting displayed.I think i am not giving the path aboutusBanner.png in aboutus.html correctly.
Please suggest me how my aboutus.html should use the aboutusBanner.png in code given above.
Thanks,
Rajeev

<img src="aboutusBanner.png" />This may reference the file while it is on filesystem (most likely on a web server, must be in the same directory).
If you want to create a reference to a file in UCM (document repository), you need to do it differently. The easiest way (if your file is in Public security group) is to use html link to the file: e.g. http://{serverURL}/{instance name}/groups/public/documents/graphic/oly_088631.jpg (search for the file in UCM and copy the link from the search result dialog).
A better way is to use SSXA - see this manual http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e13650/toc.htm - when your html will be constructed from a template and the image will be defined through a placeholder (you will learn to use placeholders in Chapter 3 of the manual). Since PS3, SSXA should be usable for Webcenter pages.

Excel Automation with Interop - Windows Service - Microsoft Excel cannot access the file

I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
the following error when trying to open the excel file:
Unhandled exception Occured : 'Microsoft Excel cannot access the file 'bla.xls'. There are several possible reasons:
The file name or path does not exist.

The code snippet used to open the file:

The console app and windows service are running on a Win Server 2008 64-bit OS with Excel 2013 32-bit installed. The service is running with a special user account, which has all the right permissions on accessed files and folders. The excel process is also
started with the same account (I cheched that one).
I already tried to do the following, but to no avail:
Run excel.exe /automation -> worked fine
Created the folders and also gave full control to the account under which the service is run (even gave full control to Everyone)
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop
Configured DCOM
Excel Application -> Identity -> Specific user account
Excel Application -> Identity -> Interactive User
Excel Application -> Security -> Launch permissions -> Everyone full control
Several combinations of the above
So I really am stuck with this problem right now. Any input on this is appreciated.

I have a windows console application, which automates Excel. In our scenario the application gets called from a Windows Service. If the console app is executed directly everything works fine. If the console app is executed through the Win Service, we get
the following error when trying to open the excel file
Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office
may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side.
If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution.
You can read more about that in the
Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article.

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

Blocking access to file sharing (AFP/SMB) from outside of network

Hello all,
Is there a way to block access to file shares from outside of our LAN? I have a machine that has some sharing turned on (it is also my email server) and I can reach it across the internet and mount shares as if I was in the office.
How can I block this access? Both SMB and AFP?
Thank you,
-John

Justin, thank you for your reply. The machine is on a public ip address and is not behind a NAT router. I've turned on the software firewall and that is working now. However, I imagine it would be better to use a hardware firewall. Any suggestions on a good one? Thank you.

Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
7 machine or the print server XP machine.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
2.
On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
following items are turned ON:
Network Discovery
File and printer sharing
And this one is OFF:
Password protected sharing
3.
Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
In addition,
I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

sharing
Hope this helps. Thanks.
