How do I use the same profile for two users on the same computer

I use my laptop both at home and at work. And in each venue I use a different user log on. But I wish to have firefox use the same profile for each user log on. How can I get firefox to point to the same profile for each user?

Note that only one user (Firefox instance) can use a profile folder at the time, so if you would switch the Windows user to another account then you would first have to close Firefox.

How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

Hi,
I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
Thanks

I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.

Using the Same Profile for Outlook Connector and Exchange

Is anyone using the same profile in Outlook for both the Oracle Connector for Outlook and Exchange server? Only Exchange would have an IMAP mail service defined.
Oracle tech support kindly provided me with the following information but I would really appreciate hearing about customer experiences:
"In theory this should work without causing any problem if only one service within the same Profile is configured for mail. However, before configuring a large amount of users with such a configuration, please start with 1 user and perform some tests, as I am not aware of anyone using such a configuration. The fact that you want your Oracle calendar users to invite Exchange users, will be like inviting External users, the Free/Busy information for these users will not be available etc. Also inviting external user is an already existing feature of the Oracle Calendar."
Thanks very much.
Brenda

We are doing it currently as we are switching over from Exchange 5.5 to OCS. We set up a profile using the Oracle connector and then go into properties and add the Exchange account. We used this method to move files from the Exchange server to the Oracle server by having both profiles running.

Question about multiple resource objects using the same OID target account

In Oracle Identity Manager 11g with OID connector as a target system.
Is it possible to create multiple resources that use the same OID IT Resource. Each resource is responsible for provisioning certain OID attributes of the same OID account. For example 'OID User' would provision the basic account and a separate resource called 'Department1 User' would provision attributes not provisioned by OID User.

Yes, definitely. Here is how it would work:
- You would have to make sure that the resource OID User always gets provisioned first, so that the account exist when these additional attributes are being set for the user via the other resource Department1 User. You can do this with Resource Dependency in OIM.
- Now for using the same IT Resource, just create the new form and in the IT Resource type form field, map the properties to the same IT Resource Definition, so when the Provisioning Process gets invoked it uses the same IT Resource instead.
Thanks

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does Snow Leopard Server File Sharing (AFP) provide similar features?

The Windows SMB feature has file locking if multiple users are accessing the same file. Does File Sharing (AFP) on Snow Leopard Server provide similar services?

Were you ever able to solve this problem. I'm having similar issues since upgrading to snow leopard. Four macs connect to a Windows Server 2003 for shared files. Each user has full permissions & when we "get info" it shows read & write permissions. Two of the computers were running 10.4, two were running 10.5. Everything worked properly until upgrading to snow leopard. Some files let me copy, move, delete. Others either just hang up or we get a "no permission" error. Also getting a "pdf is in use" error, even when the file/folder doesn't contain a pdf. We had our IT rep check the server who said everything is in working order. They don't represent macs any longer but feel that it's a mac problem. I would have to agree since this problem only started after the upgrade, and the one machine that was not upgraded (still running 10.5.8) is not dealing with these problems.
Lastly, I would install 10.5 back on all of the computers if I could, but the leopard disk that came with one of the computers wouldn't work with the 2 machines running 10.4 and I didn't see it available at the apple store. I'll buy it if it's still available, but why wouldn't the disks that I have work?
Thanks for any help

What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID? For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together? We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

Can multiple APEX application use the same parsing schema?

Hi,
I have 4.2 APEX thru pl/sql Gatewat, 11gr2 DB and using theme 24.
Due to the APEX limitation for version control I would be splitting 1 big ERP applications into 24 different APEX applications and each application would be considered as 1 unit for version control.
I have about 800 tables and I would assume that all of these would need to be stored in 1 schema since a lot of these table are linked thru FK.
Can I have multiple APEX APPS using the same parsing schema? or is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Multiple applications can have same (one) parsing schema.
You can test that on e.g. apex.oracle.com, where normally you have only one schema and you create multiple applications and all use that same schema.
Regards,
Jari

How can i create multiple accounts but use the same itunes?

how can i create multiple accounts but use the same itunes?

Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services. You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

Multiple users\passwords on the same website with Safari

Coming over from Netscape for MAC to Safari.
Here is the issue-- In Netscape I was able to have multiple users/passwords for the same website page. Netscape controls its users/passwords; not the keychain. With Safari everytime I try to enter the second user/password this wipes out the first user and password.
Is there a way with Safari to have mutlple users/passwords for the same website page?
Thanks,
Reed

How to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile

Is it possible to run 2 different Firefox versions using the same profile and still have browsing history saved? I used to be able to do that up until a week ago. What happened was I was using Firefox version 3.6.28(a very old version of Firefox) which I need to use sometimes and then the current version, 36.01. Earlier I would use both my versions of Firefox and the history would be saved if I used both versions but now when version 36.01 came out, its not saving for some reason. Is this a bug? The history is saving during the current session, but say I close out of Firefox and then go back to Firefox, it will still be saved but when I go to my old version of Firefox, the history is saved but then after I close out of that the history on my new current version is all gone and it starts me all fresh, is there a way to get rid of this so that the history will always be saved even if i switch between versions? I could do that before up until Firefox 35.01 but Firefox 36 isnt saving the history from the old version, is this a bug or not? Now I have to create a separate profile for each Firefox so the history I use on the old version is only saved on that version and the history I have on the new Firefox is another profile so that history from the 2nd profile remains but I dont want that. I want to be able to use the same profile so that the same browsing history can be saved using both versions like it was before, I hope people can understand my problem. If not I can further explain, thanks.

@ the-edmeister, I understand that the 2 versions are completely different, however how come the history was saving fine when I switched between firefox 3.6.28 to the current one which was Firefox 32, 33, 34, 35 etc? Like I'm surprised how come now at Firefox 36 this problem started, Firefox 36 isnt that much different from Firefox 35 but yet Firefox 35 was still saving my browser history from the old 3.6.28 version, my 3.6.28 version never upgrades but the new Firefox keeps upgrading whenever there is a new release out automatically and then all of a sudden when the new version of 36.01 came out all my history was gone, so isnt Firefox 35.01 also very much different from 3.6.28 as much as 36.01 is? I hope you got what I meant, thank you for helping.

PSE, multiple Windows users for same files - how do use the same profile?

I have collected all my digital media into a NAS unit, available on my LAN. All users have their own users on to the LAN, but I would like to share one "profile" for all when it comes to the PSE view of my pictures, so that we can all use the same tagging, importing by different users onto shared storage should be visible for all in Organizer etc.
I'm simply not understanding the project concept of PSE ("My Catalog") to make this happen myself - could some of you knowledgable people give me a hint on how to accomplish this?
I fail to believe I'm the only one with family pictures that several persons should be able to work with together.
TIA

Ps. I used to work in PSE7, have recently upgraded to PSE9. Have a WinXP / Win7 environment with multiple users and multiple computers, not domain-controlled.

I've done this years ago using PSE3-6, but had less than satisfactorily results.
I would not recommend it as your DB might get seriously compromised.
You could however, copy the whole Catalog-directory and -files to each local host and then update these files on a regular base from the "master" host on to the other "clients". You'll want the master host to be the only one allowed to make changes/updates/deletes to the DB.
The prerequisite is that the NAS-share will have the same driveletter/full path on each client, otherwise you'll have to reconnect thousands of missing files each time the path/driveletter changes.....
Maybe APE9 is less finicky and allows to do exactly what you (and me too....) want.
I'll try it in the near future when I'll have time to play with it more and let you know if you're still interested then. (can take months... )

Can you have multiple users working off the same Mac pro at the same time with multiple monitors but doing different things?

I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!

A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation.

Multiple presentation servers using the same RPD

Hi everyone,
So as most people know, the iPhone has a cool app that allows you to login and look at your OBIEE content. In theory it's really cool, but as it turns out, a lot of the cool graphs default to Flash and Flash is not supported by the iPhone.
Using a flag in the instance config file, its possible to default all graphs to png's instead of Flash. But that causes all the interactive drillability to go away since it's just a flat picture.
It seems that an elegant solution to this issue would be to have two presentation services running; one that defaults to Flash and one that defaults to png's. Then let the OC4J container determine if the device accessing the website is a mobile device or a full client browser. Mobile devices get routed to the png's and non-mobile devices go to the standard Flash page.
Although not supported by Oracle, it is possible to setup multiple presentation services on the same server. In fact, RNM has a great blog about how to accomplish this (http://rnm1978.wordpress.com/2009/08/25/multiple-rpds-on-one-server-part-1-the-bi-server/).
I was able to setup two presentation services (AnalyticsWeb and AnalyticsMobile) and point them at the same catalog folder. That way you don't have to duplicate you're work.
The one thing I couldn't figure out how to do was to point them at the same RPD file. Ideally, we would have one rpd file with the master metadata definitions, and both presentation services would drive from that single RPD. However, the BI Server throws and error of the same RPD appears twice in the NQSConfig.ini file. I also created a shortcut to the master RPD, but upon startup, the BI Servers said that it was not a valid repository file.
Worst case scenario, I could just use copy & paste to duplicate the single repository. And then each time I updated one, I would just need to delete the other and re-copy. But that seems a little tedious and I was hoping for a more elegant solution.
Does anyone know how I could get the NQSConfig.ini to let me point to the same RPD twice? Is there some kind of symbolic link or image I could create?
If it helps, I'm working with OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on a Windows Server 2003 environment with the OC4J standalone container.
Thanks for the help!

Hey Everyone,
Just to add the finishing touch to this thread, the following can be implemented to perform the redirect based on mobile versus traditional PC devices.
In the folder: C:\OracleBI\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app
I created the following OBIEE.html file
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html lang="en,us">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test OBIEE Redirect Page<TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script type="text/javascript">
var agent = (navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase();
var weburl = './analytics/';
var moburl = './analyticsMobile/';
var reg_exp = /(ipod|iphone|android|opera mini|blackberry|palm os|palm|hiptop|avantgo|plucker|xiino|blazer|elaine|windows ce; ppc;|windows ce; smartphone;|windows ce; iemobile|up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|vodafone|o2|pocket|kindle|mobile|pda|psp|treo)/;
if( reg_exp.test(agent) ) {
window.location = moburl;
else {
window.location = weburl;
</script>
</BODY></HTML>
The javascript gets the USER agent variable and does a regular expression match to see if it's any popular handheld device. If so, it redirects them to the mobile address. Otherwise the user is directed to the standard site.
All I need to do is pass around the URL:
http://localhost:9704/OBIEE.html (instead of the standard http://localhost:9704/analytics)
And users will be dynamically sent to the correct location.
thanks everyone!
