Allowing user to run an optional test

I'm new to Teststand and Labview. Can anyone tell me a simple way for allowing users to run an optional test sequence at the end of another test sequence. I've played around with the message popup step, hoping that I could just call the optional sequence if the operator presses an 'OK' button or end the original test sequence if the operator presses a 'CANCEL' button, but haven't had much luck so far.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Make use of the Precondition, an example of this is the Computer Motherboard Test.seq in the TestStand\examples\demo folder.
This has diagnostics test sequence which it runs if any of the test steps fail.

How to allow users to run infopackage without giving access to Workbench

Hi,
I have certain infopackages which I want to give access to users to run. It mainly relates to loading of flat files which they want to be able to execute when they want and also loading the P&L data from R/3.
I am on 3.5..I don't want the users to have access to do anything else on the Admin workebench.
what is the best way? Is there a program or tcode which I can give access to the users where they specify the infopackage name and run it.
Thanks

Hi,
Create a role in transaction pfcg. Goto authorization tab-> change authorization data-> manual entry of authorization objects -> give the standard authorization object 's_rs_admwb'.
This autho-object is for protecting DWWB objects.
Inside this object , you will have option 'data warehouse workbench object' . Click change.. select 'infopackage'. In the activity you can give options display and execute. Save the authorization and generate profile. In the user tab, give the user ids of those who need to execute the infopackage. This should work exactly for your requirement..

[SOLVED] [sudo] allow user to run commands as root

Hello,
I want to run programs like netctl and vpnc as normal user without typing in my password. This is what I've come up with for /etc/sudoers:
myusername ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/netctl, /usr/bin/vpnc, /usr/bin/vpnc-disconnect
But running e.g. "netctl start someprofile" fails because access to the file `someprofile' is denied -- the file is owned by root and only root may read it.
Doesn't running programs as root also mean that these programs can read files owned by root? Or is this a misconception and I should change permissions to the corresponding files?
Thanks & Regards
Edit:
I just realized, that, with the setup above, "sudo netctl start someprofile" does work without demanding a password. This is nice. But can it be tuned further so that I don't have to prepend "sudo"?

@qinohe:
I am in group wheel and I already have
%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
myusername ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/netctl, /usr/bin/vpnc, /usr/bin/vpnc-disconnect
So this would be same, wouldn't it?

Allow users to run installed applications

doing tons of homework on this to no avail--safarie and other applications are available to admin--i want to select applications as admin and pick which ones users can use--how the heck do you do this?--new to mac but tons of computer exp including some unix

Any program installed in the /Applications folder (at the top level of the hard drive) should by default be accessible to all other users, except when access for a specific user has been blocked with Parental Controls.

How to disable the run-time popup menu in the sequence display on TestStand Operator Interface, that allow the use to skip the test?

How to disable the run-time popup menu in the sequence display on TestStand Operator Interface, that allow the use to skip the test?

Hello,
Regarding the skip/force pass/force fail options, when I set the ControlExecFlow to True in Teststand 3.1 and 3.5, in the Sequence Editor the menu options for skip/force pass/force fail are not active for Technician but, when I launch the Operator Interface logged with Technician the options are active. The problem is that if the technician sets one step to one of these options, and change the user to Operator, the test step remains skip/force pass.
Is there any possibility without modifying the Operator Interface (at programming level), to reload default values of the steps when changing the user to Operator?
Thank you,
Best regards,

How do I allow my users to set the option to save a new timezone for future sessions?

The option to save a newly selected timezone for future sessions has been greyed-out
in the Calendar Client. How can I allow my users to choose this option?
<P>
This is controlled by the settimezone setting on the Calendar Server. By
default, it is set to FALSE. You can change the value to TRUE in the
unison.ini settings. The
Calendar Server must be restarted for the change to take effect.

Hi,
Based my research, OOB SharePoint don’t allow anonymous users to contribute contents(Edit, Upload and Add) into list and library.
This is by design behavior, and it’s a consideration about security in order to help protect your site from potential script injection attacks.
For anonymous users, only the View Item permission is available for libraries.
If you want to know more about this, please refer to

Hope this helps

Allow user defined values during run time

Hi ,
I have created a VI wherein I have 3 inputs as enums, I also want to give the user the capability to enter runtime values which are not present in the drop down for the enum , is it possible ? I see an option in the propeties of the enums as "allow user to enter undefined values during runtime" , will this serve the same purpose as I am looking for or is it something different ?
Please see the attached snapshot for the option I am referring to .

What you see is a disabled option in the items editor. The items editor is common between Rings Comboboxs and enums. I don't know why the gurus and R&D decided to disable and grey the checkbox rather than hide the darn thing. Lucky for us its not something that customers see just developers. At least we have the ability to ask about what that is if we don't know.

Allow a windows non-administrator user to run cmd.exe as administrator without sharing administrator password with the user

I have standalone Windows 2003 and 2008 Oracle database servers (they are not in a Windows domain environment ). The Oracle DBAs can perform all their routine activities from command line with administrator privileges. For this i've to either share administrator
user password with the Oracle DBAs or add their windows login user to Administrators group. If i can give the DBA user permission to run windows command prompt without sharing administrator password, i can give them non-administrator login access to Windows
2003/2008 server. Normally when a non administrator user would try to run a program as administrator on Windows 2008, the user is prompted to input administrator username/password. Is it possible to give non-admin user access to run a program/application (cmd.exe
in this case) on Windows 2003/2008 without sharing administrator credentials with them?

With the OTORISER application I developed, normal users can run applications with admin privilege …
Otoriser is totally free ! Applications, mmc consoles, control panel cpl files can be run under admin and system context with Otoriser. Let’s say you donot want your users to be admin in their machines, but want them to run some applications with admin rights.
If this is the case then you are on the right blog.
There are two components for Otoriser. Management and client components. There are no complex implementation and no frustrating steps to be performed. Within 10 minutes you can start testing the results
After you download the setup files, install client components in the client by running it directly (or any deployment method you have), it will take about 5 seconds to install it. Then, let’s say you want your user to change system properties of the machine.
With the tool provided in Admin package produce the hash of system.cpl file and enter that hash into the group policy (details are provided in documentation). When policies are applied for that user then he or she can run that control panel applet under admin
context but donot forget that the user is still an ordinary user.

How to prevent users from running PRC: Transaction Import from WebADI form?

Hi,
We are 12.1.3 and trying to create a workflow to approve Project transactions coming through web ADI before they become effective. To this end, we want to prevent users from running the PRC: Transaction Import from the Web ADI.
I know that if the checkbox Automatically run transaction import is not checked, the program does not run. But we want to hide this checkbox and not allow the possibility that the program could get triggered.
To this end, we updated the BNE_INTEGRATORS_B with source='C'. This allows you to edit the integrator from Desktop Integration Manager.
UPDATE BNE_INTEGRATORS_B SET SOURCE ='C' WHERE INTEGRATOR_CODE ='PAXTTRXB'
In the 4th step, where the value for Uploader Parameters is set, we have set boolean value to No. These are the fields on the page:
Parameter Name: bne:import
Display Name: Start Transaction Upload
Data Type: Boolean
Category: Field
Default Value: Boolean Flag: No
Description: start Transaction Import Concurrent Request
Display Options: Displayed: Unchecked
Display Options: Enabled: Checked
Display Options: Required: Checked
Prompt Left: Automatically submit Transaction import
Display Type: Check Box
Maximun Size: 100
Display Size:100
Now the checkbox is not appearing for the user to check it, But the program is automatically running when you hit Upload in the WebADI.

Hi ,
Try removing the PRC: Transaction Import Program from the request group for the responsibility used by customers to submit the WebADI and then check if the program launches.

Raghavan

How to allow users to mount a Samba shares on a WXP

Through lots of reading I've managed to get an understanding of how to mount SMB shares at bootup by placing the proper edits in /etc/fstab. While having the shares of the server, running Contribs.org SME Server 6.01 (recently known as Mitel SME Server) and acting as a samba server, being mounted at startup is perfect since the server is always on. This is not the best idea for the XP workstation since it isn't always on. Here is a copy of my present fstab file with x's replacing the passwords.
fstab [B---] 0 L:[ 1+19 20/ 21] *(1085/1086b)= . 10 0x0A
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
//192.168.2.2/stuff /mnt/silicon2 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,user
//192.168.2.105/e-smith /mnt/silicon1 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,users,noauto
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 / xfs defaults 0 1
I would like users with an account on the Linux box to mount the remote share on the XP box without needing to SU and consequently need the root password. When trying now to mount "e-smith" (The share on the XP box) as a user using "mount /mnt/silicon1" I get a message about needing to be SU.

To allow users to mount smb shares you need to make smbmnt suid:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
Note however that the user needs to own the directory used as mountpoint. So I don't know how to make 'mount /mnt/silicon1' in your setup work for all users.
For the users to be able to unmount the smb shares as well you need:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount
Now users can do 'smbmount //server/share mountpoint -o username=whatever' or simply 'mount mountpoint' if the details are specified in fstab. To unmount root can do 'umount mountpoint' or users can do 'smbumount mountpoint'.
Don't confuse smbmount with smbmnt - the first is the command you use to mount shares manually, the second is the one that should be suid and is used both by smbmount and by mount -t smb.
Hope this helps.

Configure ePortfolio for Crystal Reports 9 Report Application Server for Users to Run Reports

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Sorry for this basic question but Crystal 9 is no longer supported and I am having trouble finding any documentation about how to configure ePortfolio let alone obtain any help from Crystal support.
I have a set of .RPT files and would like the simplest and quickest method of distribution to the users with as little coding and fuss as possible.
We have the ePortfolio page up and running but the users can only view the reports from ePortfolio. They also need to be able to run (refresh) the reports and enter the parameters which have already been built into the .RPT file. Providing access to the deactivated Schedule and History links would also be useful though not a priority unlike access to refresh and enter parameters.
I usually create reports to run from within an application which I can handover to the application developer so working out how to distribute via this method is pretty new to me.
I've also had a quick look at the Crystal Reports Viewer XI which appears to be backward compatible for Crystal 9 reports however this also appears to only allow users to view, not generate, reports.
Any recommendations? Or could you point me in the direction of some documentation that might assist?

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I think I've worked out that we are actually using ePortfolio Lite. Would anyone be able to confirm if there are any configuration options for ePortfolio Lite? I think we only have the Crystal Reports 9 Advanced version, not Crystal Reports 9 Enterprise. Would this mean that we therefore only have ePortfolio Lite not ePortfolio?

Allow users to create reports based on their own selection of fields

Is there a way to allow users to create reports based on their own selection of fields?
And if there is a way, then how?
In access we retrieve all demographic info on one screen and on another screen user can be able to choose specific fields from a list box to import data into file.

Hi,
This can be handled in various ways - but the principles are the same.
You need to apply conditional displays to all of the columns that your user can select and base the display of a column on the value of a field on the page.
You can have a series of Yes/No options - one for each field and base the display on the corresponding field being Yes. Or you can use checkboxes.
However, if you wish to use a multiselect list (which is probably easier as you can dynamically generate the list of field names), you will need to have hidden fields that will store either Y/N or 1/0 (I use ones/zeros) and have the conditional displays watch these fields instead. Populating these hidden fields is a bit more tricky than just having fields on the page that the user can control, but is doable:
1 - Create one hidden field for each field in the report that you want to show/hide. Put these fields in the same region as the select list in a region above the report
2 - Set conditional display values to "Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2" and use the appropriate hidden field for Expression 1 and in Expression 2 enter in 1
3 - Create a page process that runs on submit, and create PL/SQL code something like:
DECLARE
lFields HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
vField VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
:P31_SHOW_EMPNO := 0;
:P31_SHOW_ENAME := 0;
:P31_SHOW_JOB := 0;
:P31_SHOW_MGR := 0;
:P31_SHOW_HIREDATE := 0;
:P31_SHOW_SAL := 0;
:P31_SHOW_COMM := 0;
:P31_SHOW_DEPTNO := 0;
lFields := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P31_FIELDS);
FOR i IN lFields.FIRST..lFields.LAST LOOP
vField := lFields(i);
IF vField = 'EMPNO' THEN
:P31_SHOW_EMPNO := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'ENAME' THEN
:P31_SHOW_ENAME := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'JOB' THEN
:P31_SHOW_JOB := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'MGR' THEN
:P31_SHOW_MGR := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'HIREDATE' THEN
:P31_SHOW_HIREDATE := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'SAL' THEN
:P31_SHOW_SAL := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'COMM' THEN
:P31_SHOW_COMM := 1;
ELSIF vField = 'DEPTNO' THEN
:P31_SHOW_DEPTNO := 1;
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
4 - Finally, add a button that generates the report - this just needs to submit the page and branch back to the same page
I've used the standard EMP table for this example and my hidden fields are P31_SHOW_fieldname. The code resets the hidden fields to 0, checks if the user has selected the field from the list (P31_FIELDS) and changes the hidden fields value to 1 for all those selected. When the page is re-rendered, the report hides the columns where the hidden field value is 0 and displays those where it is 1. The export option will then only export those fields that are displayed.
You can see an example of this here:

Anybody knows that how to Allowing user Customization at runtime for portle

Anybody knows that how to Allowing user Customization at runtime for portlet.
What i want is to let user Customization persist to the repository. (not session). bu tmy testing accodring the Jdev 11g guide shows not working for portlet..
Any body knows how to do this for portlet ? Web center 11g
thanks a lot.

Hi Wayne,
You can only save runtime customizations to the repository for the users present in jazn-data.xml file (If you are using file based security).
You will have to do the following before you can start saving user customizations:
1. Create Webcenter Template project.
2. Apply ADF Security
3. Use page-definition files for jspx pages.
After this, whatever customizations you do, will be saved to persistence storage.
Better would be to try this on server. Since, before deploying, you run the pre-deployment tool, which will take the MDS Repository path as an input and store all persistence storage there.
If there is nothing in that location, you can be sure something is wrong and debug it.
Hope that was helpful.
