ARQ: Problem with Mitigation of a Risk and Request Rejection at the same time???

Hi All,
I have configured my workflow in such a way that, when a request reaches a certain approver (who is authorized to mitigate), he has following options available (we have configured this way):
1. Submit the Request: This will simply approve the request. But I would NOT want him to approve the request if it has violations. First he should mitigate the risks and then approve the request.
May I know how I can do it? Is this the correct process?
2. Reject the Request: If he is not ok, he can reject the request. I am ok with this and no action is required.
3. Forward the Request: If he needs any business clarifications, he can forward the request to the user's manager before mitigating and approving the request. This is also ok for me.
4. Mitigate the risk: If a request has risk violations, he can mitigate the risks  by clicking on "Mitigate" button on "Risk Analysis" tab.
Here is the problem I see. The straight forward what he can do is, mitigate the risks and then approve the request (Submit). However, there is one more option with him and that is, he can mitigate the risks and then changes his mind to reject the request!
If he rejects the request (after mitigating the risks), the mitigation which was done before, is not "UNDONE". Meaning, that user is mitigated though the request is rejected!
This is very confusing and this way users are simply mitigated for no reason!
May I know below things:
1. What is the best way or practice to mitigate risks in a request?
2. How above explained problem (for point#4) can be addressed?
3. How I can stop approving a request if it has violations?
Please advise on this.
Regards,
Faisal

Hi Faisal,
I try to answer your question (as always ).
You can configure that at a specifc stage the approver cannot approve if there are risks. Therefore modify the task settings for all the stages and allow/disallow "approve despite risk". For all stages where approval can be given (like role owner stage) you can activate the button so that it is possible to approve even though risks are coming up.
To make this setting workable you have also to set parameter 1072 (Mitigation of critical risk required before approving the request) to YES.
Regarding the mitigation which was set but is obsolet after rejection. There is actually a simple way to remove invalid controls. Run the risk analysis and gather information for "Invalid Mitigating Controls".
In the result you have the option to change or delete the mitigation.
Does this answer the question(s)?
Regards,
Alessandro

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • Problem connecting Firewire device and external HD at the same time

    Hi. I'm attempting to record digital audio through a Presonus Firepod A/D interface via a Firewire 400 to 800 cable connected to one of the Firewire 800 ports on a mid-2010 Mac Pro running Snow Leopard.
    The problem is that if I have an external HD connected to one of the other Firewire 800 ports on the computer and powered on at the same time, the connection to the Presonus Firewire device is not recognized by the Mac Pro. Not only that, performance of the Mac Pro is affected adversely and System Profiler is unable to list any Firewire devices. If I turn the external HD off, the Presonus device is recognized and listed in System Profiler and the machine runs fine. I'm able to connect two external hard drives via separate Firewire 800 ports on the Mac Pro and both drives mount w/ no problem. It's only when I try to connect one of the external HDs and the Presonus audio device at the same time that the problem occurs.
    I used this same arrangement on a PowerMac G5 running Tiger w/ no problems whatsoever. If the 400 to 800 cable is bad, I would think it wouldn't work at all, but it does when only the Presonus Firepod is connected and powered on. Any ideas?

    Have done more research and apparently this is not an uncommon problem: overloading the Firewire bus when connecting an audio device along with an additional device like an external hard drive. As I understand it now, audio signal is a bandwidth hog and the solution is to get a Firewire PCIe card which will have its own independent Firewire bus and which I'll use exclusively for my audio device.

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

    I am using several Macs running Yosemite. I was recently “upgraded” to Xfinity’s new cable modem which can support both 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz networks at the same time. Actually I can connect to the internet over both with a satisfactory bump in speed for the Ghz. However when I connect to the 5Ghz the Time capsule disappears from the Airport Utility and claims to be Not Found. Is there something I have done wrong or just a Yosemite Teething Problem

    First restart your mac and try again.
    It could be
    that the router and the TC are interfering wirelessly with each other.
    You can check this by pressing the option key while clicking on the wireless icon on your screen
    Open Wireless Diagnostics
    enter your user password
    Press CMD 4 then Scan
    You will see all the wireless channels being used in your location and you can check if they are on the same channel
    Make the SSID for the TC simple like MyTC
    Set 5Ghz to auto
    Update the TC
    Try again

  • Bash script: Rotate your wallpaper and SLiM theme at the same time

    EDIT;
    I've decided I should really thank Cerebral for his help with writing this script; this thank you should have been here from the get go.
    After writing:
    #!/usr/bin
    echo "Hello World!"
    I wrote a script to rotate my fluxbox background and SLiM theme at the same time, so I could have a contiuously changing background and still have a smooth transition from SLiM to fluxbox.  (It just looks so much cooler when both have matching backgrounds).  By the time you finish reading it, and configuring your box so it will work, you will probably have decided you could have writtin your own, better script to do the same thing.  But, on the off chance anybody finds use for it, here it is:
    (this should be obvious, but: don't run this script without at least reading the comments)
    #!/bin/bash
    #this is a script to rotate a number of backgrounds
    #to be shared by the fluxbox desktop and SLiM login manager.
    #it is the first meaningful script I've written. It may be
    #freely distributed and used with the understanding that you are
    #using it at your own risk.
    #Before running this script you need to check that your SLiM
    #themes are installed to the path /usr/share/slim/themes, which
    #is the defulat path for installation in Arch. Here are some
    #other things you need to set up:
    #1. create (if you don't have it) the directory /usr/share/wallpapers
    #2. create a wallpaper in /usr/share/wallpapers called 'dummy' by copying
    #you current wallpaper to that filename
    #3. set your window manager to display the wallpaper 'dummy', this works fine
    #using a style overlay in fluxbox, I haven't tested it with any other window
    #manager, but I don't see why this would cause a problem.
    #4. create a directory /usr/share/slim/themes/current, you can copy one of
    #your slim themes into that directory if you want. (this will prevent you
    #from seeing some error messages the first time you run the script)
    #5. define the names of the themes you want to rotate, in order for this
    #script to work, you must name them "themeNUMBER", where NUMBER is replaced
    #by an integer. Your themes must be numbered consecutively, start with 1
    # that is:
    #theme1 , theme2, theme3, etc. , theme305
    #If you don't number consecutively, this script will not run properly. You
    #must also define the total number of themes as "rotate_number"
    #6. Check if the script runs, if it does, you should change /etc/slim.conf to
    #use the theme "current"
    #7. This theme will now rotate your SLiM theme and wallpaper in such a way as
    #to make them match each other. Note that SLiM will not let you change themes
    #"on the fly", (as of July 6, 2008), so changes will not be apparent unless you
    #restart SLiM. I run the script before I run slim in my etc/rc.local local
    #script, so each time I reboot I get different wallpaper / login background.

  • Recording and playing Audio at the same time

    Hi,
    Having problem with a MMAPI imp.
    The simplest way of doing it is to start one thread playing a audio file of any kind.. As it is playing start a other thread that start a audio recording.
    As soon as the audio recording is allowed to record (Security promt) the audio playback stops. And the playerListstner sends a END_OF_MEDIA event.
    So my question is: Is there a way of doing playback and recording at the same time or is this a limit on the phone or the MMAPI?
    This has been tested on Nokia N90 and SE W550i with same reults
    Cheers

  • G41TM-E43 - DVI and HDMI output at the same time?

    I am looking to output to 2x 1920x1200 displays...nothing 3D and nothing that needs to be decoded...just some power point presentatinos and some flash within a browser window.
    I am pretty sure the resolution isn't going to be a problem, but using both the DVI and HDMI ports at the same time is something I am concerned about.  I am looking for people with actual knowledge that this works...no guessing please.

    The likelihood is that you won't be able to use DVI & HDMI at the same time, but you could use one or the other in conjunction with the VGA (D-Sub) port.
    But as this is a user-to-user forum, and you may have to wait for someone with actual experience of this to see this thread and respond, for a definitive answer, contact MSI Support direct:

  • Connecting Micro USB and HDMI cables at the same time

    I need to be able to use a Micro USB and HDMI cable at the same time to configure ATV to connect to WPA2-Enterprise secure WiFi network.  I'm using Apple Configurator to do this.  Because of the poor hardware design, it isn't possible to connect both the Micro USB and HDMI cables at the same time.  Does anyone have a worrkaround to resolving this issue? 
    I saw a similar post about this problem in the forums dating back to April 2013 with no real solution.  It's been over a year now and I'm hoping someone has found a workaround to this problem.  I have a bunch of ATVs that I need to configure for our classrooms.
