Allow PUBLIC users to search and view basic OID data

Have tried to use the People Search portlet available under Portlet Repository: Administration Portlets: SSO/OID.
Portlet works fine so long as user is logged in. However, I need to be able to allow ANYBODY to search and return this basic user data.
Is there a way to do this, either by configuring something or by creating a custom report on a mapped (synonym) table/view???

Hi Sonia,
I don't think it's possible with the People Search Portlet - the application that controls the People Search Portlet is the Oracle Delegated Administrative Services & it requires a login via SSO to perform search / update Operations.
I would suggest that you develop a custom portlet using either PL/SQL or Java ( using simple JNDI ). You can later extend your own application to suit future business needs.

Privilege to allow a user to create a view in another user's schema

Hello,
I need to allow a user to create a view in another user's schema.
Say, to connect as USER_A and run statement: 'create view USER_B_SCHEMA.myview as select...'
Is there any way to accomplish that without granting USER_A privilege to CREATE ANY VIEW? I want to keep USER_A at the lowest profile possible.
Thanks!

You have the option to create an stored procedure, here a test case (no optimized, no bug free):
SYS@orcl > create user sp_owner identified by sp_owner;
SYS@orcl > grant create any view to sp_owner;
SYS@orcl> create procedure sp_owner.create_view (
2 view_name varchar2, view_sql varchar2 ) is
3 begin
4 execute immediate 'create view '||view_name||' as '||view_sql;
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created.
SYS@orcl > create user test identified by test;
SYS@orcl > grant create session to test;
SYS@orcl > grant execute on sp_owner.create_view to test;
TEST@orcl> execute sp_owner.create_view('scott.emp_vw','select * from scott.emp')
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.HTH

Acrobat form field that allows Reader user to browse and insert a picture into a predefined area

Is there a way to do insert a form field into an AcroForm that allow Reader users to browse and insert a picture into that form field?
I know that LiveCycle can do this, but I need to do this using an AcroForm. Or maybe there's a third-party plug-in that can be used in an AcroForm to do this?

Jay,
The new version of Reader, which was announced today (see AcrobatUsers.com), will now allow you to use the field.buttonImportIcon method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.737.html
For a bit more information, see: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823
Here's the minimum code that can be used in the Mouse Up event of a button that's configured with a layout that's something other than "Label only":
// Mouse Up script for a button
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
Since this isn't backwards compatible with Reader, you'll probably want to add additional code to test what version is being used and alert the user if it's pre-11. You should also check the return value to see if anything went wrong. The hard part is getting everyone to upgrade, but this and a number of other features should make it worth it.

Attach User define tables and view table need add to database into my add-o

Hi there,
I want to deploy an addon, there are User define tables and view table need add to database.
I need some advice on some issues..
1. Can I attach User define tables and view table need add to database into my addon.
2. I wonder which chance is properly to add them, if add these user define objects in time of install and I can't get the enough information that connect to SQL server
Thanks for any help.

Hi Weerachai,
Here's an example of how to create a user-defined table in code. My suggestion would be to check if it exists when your add-on starts up and then if not, create the tables, fields and objects.
'User Table
    Private Sub CreateTable(ByVal sTable As String, ByVal sDescription As String, ByVal oObjectType As SAPbobsCOM.BoUTBTableType)
        Dim oUserTablesMD As SAPbobsCOM.UserTablesMD
        Dim iResult As Long
        Dim sMsg As String
        oUserTablesMD = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oUserTables)
        If Not oUserTablesMD.GetByKey(sTable) Then
            oUserTablesMD.TableName = sTable
            oUserTablesMD.TableDescription = sDescription
            oUserTablesMD.TableType = oObjectType
            iResult = oUserTablesMD.Add()
            If iResult <> 0 Then
                oCompany.GetLastError(iResult, sMsg)
                MessageBox.Show("Error Creating Table: " & sTable & " Error: " & sMsg)

If you want to create a View I think you would have to use the RecordSet object. This will ensure that you don't have to log in to the database again

How to prevent public users from creating and saving Word Documents

I have two public computers available for the public to view legal case documents. The program used uses the Word shell to save, view and print documents within the program. The clerk has stated that she does not want attorneys or others to
be able to create and save word documents on these computers. Is there a way to prevent a user on the public computers from opening word, creating a document and saving it?

Instead of installing Word on the public computer (or at least instead of making it available on the public account), you could install the free Word Viewer:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4 and make that available for the public account. Alternatively, if you want to ensure the document retains its originally
formatting regardless of what printer may or may not be attached to the public computer, you could keep only PDF copies of the file where the public can access them and install the free Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing:
https://get.adobe.com/reader/.

How do I allow the user to select and resize the CNiGraph while executing?

I am writing an application with Measurement Studio and Visual C++ that will allow the user to create graphs on the fly. I need to give them the capability to select a graph and resize it in a manner consistent with most other Windows programs (i.e. resize handles). I have tried various implementations of the CRectTracker class and can get it to work for Microsoft controls, but I can not get it to work with the CNiGraph (the only one I have tried so far). The code runs but I never get the selection box or handles around the control. Is there a way to do this and is there an example anywhere that I can go from? Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. I have now found the way to do this.

Can I track/search and view/list of tasks

Hi everyone,
We have EP 7.3 and want to start using UWL for general day to day tasks for a certain group of users. There is no backend connectivity, just pure EP since we are just doing simple day to day tasks.
We are able to create and process tasks, no issues, but the problem is that we can track only tasks we create or are assigned to us.
So, how can someone do a search and list all tasks or all tasks for a given user, etc? The Manager of the group of people we are rolling this out to will like to have an overview of all his team's tasks, even the ones she did not create.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike
One possibility which I can image in such a way you can achieve the scenario which you're describing is to have the manager set as a possible substitute for all the employees who are managed by this manager. Once all the employees create a Substitution Rule in the UWL stating that the manager is a possible subsitute, the manager can use this feature to see all the items which are pending from action for his/her employees.
Please check more details on:
SAP Note 1577579: Facts and limitations about Substitution in the Universal Worklist
SAP Note 854549: Scope and behavior of substitution in UWL
Other than using the UWL Substitution feature, I cannot think about any other alternative.
Hope it helps
Kind regards,
Armando Zaro

Searching and viewing files

The first few times I opened Bridge CS5 to search for and view files stored on a server it worked perfectly; specific pdf files were found from several hundred job folders and only the files in the folder that I named “client approved” were shown.
I believe I may have cleared the cache because I have not been able to find the same files that I once previously found; yet the files are present on the server and have not moved. I have since “built and exported cache” for some brand folders but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails. I would like for only the “client approved” files to be shown as thumb nails. How can I make this happen and work as it did the first few times I worked with Bridge?

but now when I search for a specific file all versions of the file (client approved and not approved which are in separate folders within a specific job folder) are presented as thumb nails.
If you want to search for a specific word you should use the Find command under the Edit menu and select the proper main folder and choose client approved and equals. Be sure to have also include non indexed files and including subfolders selected. Bridge needs time to index all the files so the first time you use 'include non indexed files' it may take a while.
You could choose to create keywords or labels for approved files, it makes it easier to find and select.
Also be aware that Bridge is not designed to work over a network and/or using a server so this might also causing some problems.

ARD 2.2 Allows Unauthorized User Screen to be Viewed

My friend with ARD 2.2 wanted to try connecting to my Mac.
I setup an account for him and setup Sharing/Apple Remote Desktop such that only his special account User had ARD privileges (including Observe and Control).
I switched users to his special account. He entered my IP and we spent a half hour getting it working and we were quite proud of ourselves. He disconnected his control session. I switched users back to my normal account (which was NOT on the list of Users for ARD to access). As soon as I did this his ARD Master List showed the new user. He double clicked and saw my screen -- which I think should have been private.
Is this a bug? We reproduced it to another Mac in his house. This is very discouraging -- the Sharing/Services/Apple-Remote-Desktop/Access-Privileges dialog gives a false sense of security!

I understand the administrator's desire to be able to administer the machines. And I realize that ARD is primarily aimed at system administrators. However, I'd like to make two observations. The first one is pretty simple, the second one is, I think much more important.
1) A feature like the one Brad describes would be useful, just not useful to the typical system administrator in a business for their typical scenario
2) The user interface presented in the Apple Remote Desktop Access Privileges pane is very misleading. The paradigm of the Mac is user-centric. By that measure, the UI suggests that each user on the computer can enable or disable remote administration features. The implied behavior (contrary to actual behavior) is that you turn on remote administration for particular users and that the remote administrator is allowed to do the specified things to that user's account. This is a misleading user interface choice and should be fixed. I also don't think it would be very hard to fix. For example, if they appended "for any account" or "to any account" or "any account" to the end of each of the items. The items currently read:
Generate reports
Open and quit applications
Change settings
Delete and replace items
Send text messages
Restart and shut down
Copy items
Observe
Control
Show when being observed
They would become:
Generate reports under any acocunt
Open and quit applications for any account
Change settings for any account
Delete and replace items under any account
Send text messages by any account
Restart and shut down under any account
Copy items
Observe any account
Control any account
Show when being observed

Allow certain users to capture quotation after bid end date

Hi
Is it possible to allow certain users to be able to capture quotation on behalf of suppliers using surrogate bid after the end date has been reached but before the opening date? How would I do this?
Regards

Hi
As the end date and opening date are at the header level common to all bidders/vendors, we cannot manually capture quotation for specific suppliers using surrogate bidding. I dont think there is even a BADI for this.

Material Availability Date and Corresponding Basic finish date

Hi experts,
I have one requirement from my Business for updating Basic Finish date based on the Material availability date
Requirement goes like this, When we enter a Component of 100 qty in the service order , if stock is not available we get system status as MSPT and IWBK we can see how much quantity confirmed
But i dont see any table or report which shows when this material can be available for further delivery. Based on the next available material date i have to change the basic finish date in the service Order
Please let me know if you any report available for this or any standard approach. I want to know if any exist to leverage this functionality and logic how to get this accomplished
thanks
sarvan

Sarvan,
You would need to perform this check when saving the work order as there could be multiple components all with differing ATP dates.
But a development could do something like:
Read all active/open components/materials on the work order
Determine the availability data for each component/material
Determine the latest of the above dates
Apply this date to the order Basic Finish Date
You would need to ensure your scheduling parameters do not set this date back to its original value (OPU7).
You could achiev the above through user-exit IWO10009 (SMOD) or BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE (SE18).

Why won't the iTunes Store allow me to make purchases and view my account information?

Hello,
I'm having several issues with my iTunes store account and was wondering if someone could help me. This is basically what happened...
Problem #1 - iTunes store will not let me purchase music:
I signed into iTunes (i.e. entered my Apple ID and Password). I looked up some music and pressed "Buy." A pop-up appears and says, "Are you sure you want to buy and download "Song Name?" As a response, I press the "Buy" button. Then another pop-up appears and says, "Improve Apple ID security - To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose 3 security questions and answers" and it also requires my Apple ID and Password. I enter my Apple ID and Password and press the "Continue" button. Another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" (Note: I am already signed in at this point). So, I enter my Apple ID and Password again. However, the "Sign in Required - enter your Apple ID and Password" appears again. I'm signed in, but the iTunes store apparently believes that I'm not. Why is this happening and how do I solve this?
Problem # 2 - iTunes store will not let me view my account information:
While signed in, I click the button at the top right corner of the iTunes store (i.e., the button with my Apple ID on it - [email protected]). Then I click "Account." A pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." So I enter my Apple ID and password and click the "Account Info" button (Note: I am already signed in at this point). Then another pop-up appears saying, "Sign in to view account information - Please enter your Apple ID and password and click "Account Info." Once again, I enter my Apple ID and password, then press the "Account Info" button. Then, the same "Sign in to view account information" pop-up appears again.
Basicially, I can sign into my iTunes store account, but when I want to make purchases or view my account information, iTunes continuously asks me to sign in even when I am already signed in.
Also, it might be helpful to note the following:
- I want to change my account info because my old credit card expired and I now have a new one (and would like to change my payment info accordingly)
- Also, I changed my password in hopes that it would help solve these problems. However, this did not help in the least.
I hope someone can help me out because I do not want anyone else to access my account (and spend my money) due to its apparent malufunctioning. And thanks in advance for your help!
Cheers,
K.E.K.

I had similiar problems with my itunes account and after some searching found a response that helped me - perhaps it will help you also...
It has to do with the cookie settings in Safari (of all things!)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3559322?start=0&tstart=0
I had the problem where when I started up itunes I was constantly prompted for my password regarding something about "automatic downloads". No matter how many times I typed it in, the prompt would just keep re-appearing (I tried about 8-10 times).
When I tried to resolve the issue (based on another thread) by viewing my itunes account (in the top left drop down window where your user name is), I was getting odd messages about "make sure the date is correct", and itunes would not let me view my account.
By turning OFF the option to block ALL cookies in Safari, the problem(s) have gone away.
Open Safari - go to prefs - click on Privacy tab - make sure "block cookies" is set to "from third parties..."
Good luck.

IPhone app that allows cable transfer of files and viewer feature

Hi Guys,
Now I'm really getting desperate...
Does anyone know of an app that allows you to transfer files to your iPhone via the USB cable and has a partner iphone app that allows you to view the files.
I'm looking specifically for PDF and Html viewer.
I can't use the WiFi and can't download using 3G...too expensive.
I've tried a few apps thus far but they allow you transfer files to locations that the iphone apps cannot access.
Kind regards,
Neelan

There used to be an app that did this called "FileAid". The app was free, but to use it you need to purchase an app called "DiscAid" from the developer. It allowed for file transfers between iPhone and computer using a USB cable or wifi. Recently, the app was changed AT APPLE'S REQUEST to eliminate the USB functionality. Why? I have no clue, other than having this feature took away from Apple's MobileMe file transfer functionality. I did NOT accept the upgrade. Below is an email I received from the developer.
What really irks me is that I paid for the DiscAid app. By removing this functionality, Apple has ripped me off. Fortunately, the developer has more integrity than Apple has.
"As a DiskAid user, you might be using FileAid to view files on your device.
If this is your case you are maybe aware already: we had to upgrade FileAid 1.4 to 1.5 and we changed the name to FileApp, incidentally.
The USB connectivity within FileApp was removed and we did not want that: it was not our choice but the consequence of a decision taken by Apple, nor did we wanted to have to rush to release it.
Besides, all iPhone Apps supporting the USB file transfer will be affected by that.
We were very upset about Apple's decision not to let our users enjoy the simplicity and efficiency of USB file transfer, but we had no choice as you can imagine. We are very sorry about that.
DiskAid (USB transfer tool) is still perfectly functional for file storing and iPhone/iPod Touch filesystem access but FileApp won't let you view your files on the device.
It is probably pretty uncommon, but we would like you NOT to UPGRADE to FileApp in the App Store automatically, but to read the following carefully before:
Why Should you Upgrade:
If you have a jailbreak on your device
If you are a FileAid user only using WiFi connection for transferring files - WiFi connectivity issue fixed
Why You Should NOT Upgrade:
If you are using FileAid on a device without jailbreak in conjunction with DiskAid - USB no longer supported
If you have upgraded on your iPhone by mistake (or you missed the upgrade information notice prior upgrading on your iPhone) you have the ability to downgrade to FileAid if you haven't upgraded within iTunes on your desktop and you haven't performed a sync!
To do so:
1 - Check that you have FileAid in your iPhone apps within iTunes on your computer
2 - Delete the FileApp app from your iPhone (or iPod Touch)
3 - Select FileAid within the app tab in iTunes and press sync
If a message appears warning that you have a more recent version of this app on the device, accept: it will install FileAid instead of FileApp
If you have upgraded to FileApp directly in iTunes on your computer, delete it before sync (if applicable) and the FileAid app will be copied back onto iTunes at next sync.
It is a real issue for us, as the ability to browse files transferred via USB within our iPhone app FileAid was a great feature within the DiskAid program we will sure suffer from that - but we won't let our loyal customers take the blame.
We would naturally refund users that claim for, even beyond our refund policy (up to 60 days).
Also if you had a good time while the trick lasted, or if you feel any sympathy for us and you think that your purchase could subsidize the development and maintenance of the free version of the FileAid/FileApp and you do not request a refund, we would thank you in advance for your support!"

Can I allow a user to stop and then resume a quiz while retaining previous results?

Hi all,
First post here! I have had a search of the forums and can't find an answer to a) whether I can do this and b) how to!
I am using Captivate 5.5 with Moodle as my LMS. I want to create a fairly large project where users work their way around a virtual 'assault course' (represented by images etc) answering questions at various stages. However, they will not complete the whole assault course (and hence the whole quiz) in one go - so I want them to be able to stop and come back to the quiz again several days later and be able to resume from where they left off - INCLUDING retaining the score they have achieved so far (so if they had got 5 points the first time they accessed the project, they would start at 5 points and add to that on their second attempt). I know it's easy to make them resume from the slide they finished on, but is it possible for their score to be resumed as well?
Thanks for any advice - I don't want to get too deep into building it if I won't be able to use the scores the way I want!
Cat

Users sometimes experience issues with Captivate courses in LMS where Resume Data bookmarking is used. Whether resuming works flawlessly or not seems to depend on the particular LMS to some extent.
What has happened in some cases is that when the user tries to resume the course after initially closing it down, they get stuck on the loading screen.
I would recommend you build a quick prototype course with several interactions of different types and test the Resume functionality with your chosen LMS. If everything works as expected, go for it.
EDIT: One more thing, make sure you get several different users from your organisation to test it with any different types of web browser that might be used. Especially things like IE7 to IE9 and Firefox. Don't assume everyone will have the same experience you do.

Delegation to allow HelpDesk users to Enable and Disable accounts

We currently have a HelpDeskAdmins group that these users are allowed to perform certain functions within Active Directory. I need to add the ability to Enable and Disable user accounts.
I have been looking through the Delegation of Control settings but do not know which ones to add to enable this...
Has anyone setup accounts to perform this before?

You need to create a delegation for the attribute userAccountControl. So run the delegation wizard as usual, but select "Create a custom task to delegate", then pick up "User objects", then "Property-specific" and select the
"Read and Write userAccountInformation".
So, you can do it directly on the attribute, or you can do it using the property set User-Account-Restrictions (this last one actually give you a little bit more permission, see
here).
