Best way for limit users ? How to limit also the role assignment?

Hi gurus, we are facing a strange situation.
due to the politics implemented in our company , we are not allowed to delete the user record once this guy has finished in the company. We need to have an historic of users to consult who has made something in our R3 4.7 ERP
We use instead the fiel VALID TO in the user record, so the user can´t access the system once the date is reached (it is the same thing that the standard transaction HRUSER manages the validity of the users...)
The problem is that the roles assigned to the users are not limited the same way, I mean if an user has the validity of a role form the 2008/01/01 to 9999/21/31 its not limited.
That means that in PFGC you can see the roles with user assigned but they are not really actives...
Please, is there any possibility to limit also this range of dates in PFCG in an automatic way? It will help us a lot to have the role assignments up to date
Thanks in advance
Best regards.

Good! There are many discussions in the forum on the disadvantage of deleting users.

What's wrong with taking away all roles from these users? You can always retreive their previous assignments from the change documents.

Best way for multiple users to edit same pics and catalog

Dear All
Please can I pick your brains about how best to arrange things so that my wife and I can edit the same stock of photos (not necessarily simultaneously, which I take it could cause problems).
We will soon have bought (unless advised otherwise!) two Apple MBPs (since we tend after long days at work to edit on the sofa!).
I take the options are roughly: external drives, sticks, cloud, network. In detail …
A. We keep the pics and catalog on an external hard drive which whoever’s editing plugs into their computer. Downside: it’s a bit irritating when editing or showing pics to someone to have to keep an eye to ensure the USB cable doesn’t get knocked out; it’s somehow nicer to be self-contained.
B. Same as A, but using a 512GB or 1TB memory stick instead. Downside: the sticks are still pretty big, so same downside as A, to an extent, and also (is this right?) I’ve been told that memory sticks are relatively unreliable.
C. We keep the pics and catalog in the cloud and wirelessly edit them there. Downside: perhaps impossible, or at any rate too slow?
D. Same as C, but using some sort of on-site server or drive (I’m a bit out of my depth here), perhaps like Apple’s Time Capsule. Downside: perhaps impossible, or at any rate too slow?
Are there other options? For example: is there an option where the pics reside on my MBP’s internal SSD but, in some very easy way I can get them onto an external drive if my wife wants to edit or take them somewhere? (If there is, I should ensure I buy a MBP with a big enough SSD; otherwise, I needn’t worry about that so much.)
Perhaps there’s an option involving smart previews, which I am just beginning to get my mind around?
Any asdvice you have would be MOST welcome.
Thank you.
David

2. Keep the images (unlike the catalog) on a networked drive and edit either (a) them or (b) smart previews of them (stored, I guess, on the computer of whoever is editing them, either my wife's or mine).
Even though I have mentioned this a few times, you do NOT need smart previews if the images are available. It's an extra step, completely optional, done only for speed purposes, and to be honest, if your catalog is on a thumb drive, that may be the speed limitation, not the speed of loading photos. In addition, smart previews are stored with the catalog ... I do not think you can put them on a different drive.
3. Keep the images (unlike the catalog) on my MBP's internal ssd, and network my computer to my wife's so she can access either (a) them there (when I am around) or (b) smart previews of them.
Using the SSD for images is not going to produce speed benefits, other than trivial benefits that you probably can't even notice.
a. I take it 1 would deliver pretty good performance. I sometimes worry that it might seem mad to get an MBP with a fast internal ssd if I then don't use that ssd for images! But I guess the internal ssd will still deliver good speed simply in terms of housekeeping, I take it, even if the machine has to go to a stick for the images. Right?
I remain skeptical that a catalog on a thumb drive would produce "pretty good performance", but I admit that I have not tried. I fail to see what benefit you think you are getting from the SSD, "good speed simply in terms of housekeeping" is a phrase that I am not understanding. Yes, there are benefits to putting operating system and software on an SSD, but that's not what you are talking about, is it?
b. By contrast, I take it that 2 and 3 really would be quite sluggish on the original images option, i.e. if someone were editing original images located on a network drive (whether that's a third drive or my internal drive, with my wife editing them wirelessly). Yes?
No. Here's a major misundertanding on your part. The speed of the drive where the images are stored has little effect on the performance speed of Lightroom. Ian Lyons did a study, read it for yourself. A network drive would not cause performance issues in Lightroom, unless the network was failing to perform. Wireless? Well that's a different story, who knows, you haven't specified what type of wireless or the speed of the wireless
c. But would 2 and 3 work not only better, but pretty well, if the person editing were editing only smart previews?
Possibly, but I reject the premise that 2 and 3 are sluggish because of the location of the photos, it may be sluggish because your catalog is on a thumb drive.
d. Even if so, IF I can get a thumb drive which is bigger for the images, there doesn't seem much point going for 2 or 3, and some point in not doing so, i.e. editing smart previews has its limitations, and on option 3 my wife wouldn't be able to edit when I was travelling (unless we'd taken steps in advance to make smart previews of all the relevant pics)? Or perhaps this last point is wrong? Does LR make smart previews, locally, of ALL pictures in the catalog?
Number 2 is a very reasonable solution, even without smart previews, it is fine if you are accessing photos on a network drive. The speed limitation is the speed of accessing the catalog on the thumb drive.
e. What's the best way of backing up the images? I currently back up the catalog BOTH to dropox and to (yet more) external drives that I then take off-site, to the latter of which I also backup the images. I guess that's the best way? Apple's Timecapsule sounds good but wouldn't get anything off-site. And I take it uploading thousands of raw images to the cloud would be either impossible or costly in terms of time or money?
All backup strategies are best when they are automatic (i.e. don't rely on the human user to remember to do it) and backups must go on a different physical disk than the originals. Many people backup to the cloud, see for example, the commercial service called Carbonite. In your backup strategy for Lightroom, you need to make regular, automated bakcups of the images and also of the catalog file.

Best way for a user to stop a program from running - B1 V8.8

Hi
I have written some import routines for a customer which import invoices and other documents into SAP from an ascii file
These can take some time to run depending on the size of the file
What's the best way of allowing the user to cancel the program ?
I have tried adding application.doevents but it doesn't seem to help when I try clicking on the cancel button on the form
Thanks for any ideas
Regards Andy

Hello Andy,
1.st Use transacation to roll back when user presses the Cancel Button
2.nd You may run the import file in a different thread from the addon, with a static global marker that the import must be cancelled or not
3. Rigth now, because of a different thread, the addon will keep alive and wait for the cancel button event.
4. when cancel button event raises, you send join into the separated thread, and stop it (eg cancel the thread).
5. You can rollback the transactions done by the thread.
I think you must do a multi threaded addon to handle this case.
Regards
János

Best way to ask user for duration ??

I am wondering what the best way to set up a dialog to ask the user for a duration is ?
I need to query the user for the following duration example 1 month 3 days 5 hours 15 mins
I have tried messing around with JSpinners with date formats but they really only work with fixed calendar dates not calendar durations...
Any ideas on a neat approach..
Currently i have an individual number spinner for each of the items which looks ugly and is hard to manage as you have to take care of up to 23 hours but 24 is one day so one day etc etc..
Thanks in advance

You continue along the same lines; keep the DTO in the session as an attribute. When you display your JSP, read the appropriate values for choices from the DTO and set your checkboxes/ radio buttons to 'selected' if they should be.
When the page is submitted, read the parameters from the form submit and update your session attribute ( DTO ) to reflect any changes the user might have made like selecting a new option or deselecting a previously selected one.

WHat is the best way for other iphone users to share pictures with me? I am doing a project which req. people to send me 100 pictures at a time that I'll be putting in my iphoto? thank you.

ingridlisa,
I'd suggest to ask them to create Shared PhotoStreams and to invite you to view the streams, see:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

Whats the best way to create USER variable in BI Apps?

I have just installled BI Apps and am trying to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11g
We have USER variable already defined in the BI Apps rpd.
In EBS Security context init block i need to define USER variable, but when i define it... it says *'USER' has already been defined in the variable "Authentication"."USER"*
Whats the best way to create USER variable for EBS Security Context init block?
1) Delete the existing USER variable and then define a new one ( in this case all the places where USER variable is getting used in the rpd would become <missing>)
And i was told that it should not be done.
Let me know how can it be done.
Thanks
Ashish

Disable existing Init block and then double click on USER variable and hit on NEW... button to create new Init block
Thanks

Best way to save user's choices

Hello everybody
I am working on a Website built on JSP and Servlets . One of the features of the site is to give user the chance to subscribe to different newsletters under different categories.
There are 6, 7 available categories. So for example, user1 surfs to the page which displays category sport and under that some options (check boxes) and he can choose zero or more newsletters, and he clicks to add the next catetory options , for example entertainement. He may choose to go to final summary page without seeing all the categories.
From the summary page , something like this is displayed to user if he has choices from 3 categoires of Sport , Social, Home ; but he did not choose anything from Movies and other categories:
Sport : edit (hyperlink) , remove (hyperlink)
Social : edit (hyperlink) , remove (hyperlink)
Home edit (hyperlink) , remove (hyperlink)
The user should have a choice to go back to each category page and edit it (he will see the page of that category with his previous choices in check boxes) .Another option is just by clicking the remove link in the final summary page, to remove that category and all the values chosen for that category.
I am new at Java and I'd be grateful if you help me with my questions:
1. What is the best way to keep user's choices as he surfs and adds options under each category ? I thought of using session vars , in form of 2 dimentional arrays, but I wonder if there is a better more efficient way ?
2. At the last page, user is shown the category names with two links beside them , edit and remove ... could you also advise what is the best way to implement this as well? For example if I use array session vars, I am not sure how to display that particular page again with his previous choices shown .....
The categories and options under each are read from database. User's choices are not commited to DB until he reviews the summary and clicks confirm button at the last stage.
Thank you in advance

Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

Best Way for login???

I was just wondering what everyone thought would be the best
way for a secure login with 4 different access levels. It's going
to do just how it sounds, different levels see/have different
access to different functions and components in the program. Would
an initial php login work? Would it be difficult to implement it
inside Flex?? Any input would be greatly appreciated. TIA!!!

It is absolutely possible using states. What you do is assign
certain access level to the different states for example...
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="Visitor">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{myLoginHBox}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuHBox}"
position="lastChild">
<view:LogoutHBox/>
</mx:AddChild>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Visitor Area" width="100%"
height="100%" id="canvas1">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Youth" basedOn="Visitor">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas1}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Youth Area" width="100%" height="100%"
id="canvas2">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="Member" basedOn="Youth">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas2}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Member Area" width="100%" height="100%"
id="canvas3">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="PowerMember" basedOn="Member">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas3}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Power Member Area" width="100%"
height="100%" id="canvas4">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="AssistantAdministrator"
basedOn="PowerMember">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas4}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Assistant Administrator Area"
width="100%" height="100%" id="canvas5">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
<mx:State name="SeniorAdministrator"
basedOn="AssistantAdministrator">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{canvas5}"/>
<mx:AddChild relativeTo="{mainMenuViewstack}"
position="lastChild">
<mx:Canvas label="Senior Administrator Area" width="100%"
height="100%" id="canvas6">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
Then you create a loginResultHandler that first checks to see
if the user is logged in. If the user is logged you then check for
their access level. Personally I used digits (in my example roles 1
through 6). The digit is what I store in my database. Once the
logged in user's role is established the state is changed
accordingly. Do some research on using states! It will absolutely
help you to do what you are looking to do. An example of the code
for the loginResultHandler is...
// loginResultHandler function
private function loginResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
currentUser = event.result as User;
if (currentUser.loggedIn)
// If login successful
if (currentUser.roles == "5")
this.currentState='Youth';
else if (currentUser.roles == "4")
this.currentState='Member';
else if (currentUser.roles == "3")
this.currentState='PowerMember';
else if (currentUser.roles == "2")
this.currentState='AssistantAdministrator';
else if (currentUser.roles == "1")
this.currentState='SeniorAdministrator';
else
currentUser.roles == "6";
this.currentState='Visitor';
myLoginHBox.visible=false;
else
// If login unsuccessful
Alert.show("Login unsuccessful", "Server Authentication");
I just finished setting up role based authentication using a
combination of Flex 2, ColdFusion MX 7.02 and MS SQL Server Express
2005. It took my two weeks to set up my CFC's (ColdFusion
Components) and ActionScript files properly.
My user login form is authenticated against my database. If
the user is properly logged in he can only view what he is
authorized to view. :)

Best way for add thousans items to listbox without freezing ui in wpf

Hello guys.
What is the best way for add thousands items (or even more) to Listbox without freezing UI.
I search many post in the web but I don't understand how this posts writer wrote that code.
I realized that ObservableCollection can contain 1000 items or even more and show that items to listbox just for few second without freezing UI but I don't Know how can I use that!
Can you guys give me an example.
thanks.

If you bind an observablecollection you can add items to that from a background thread. Then bind that to the itemssource. I usually new up an observablecollection, add the items then set the bound property to that.
But I avoid thousands of items.
You should provide some sort of filter mechanism the user chooses a category or whatever and then fill with a maximum of 300 items.
Users simply can't work with thousands of items.
It is usually reading the data out a database which takes the time rather than creating objects to bind.
Hence this:
protected async override void GetData()
ThrobberVisible = Visibility.Visible;
ObservableCollection<CustomerVM> _customers = new ObservableCollection<CustomerVM>();
var customers = await (from c in db.Customers
orderby c.CustomerName
select c).ToListAsync();
foreach (Customer cust in customers)
_customers.Add(new CustomerVM { IsNew = false, TheEntity = cust });
Customers = _customers;
RaisePropertyChanged("Customers");
ThrobberVisible = Visibility.Collapsed;
That's making an asynchronous entity framework call.
A list of customers is obtained.
These are then wrapped in a customer viewmodel each.
Finally the observablecollection Customers is set to this new collection and propertychanged raised to notify the view.
The itemssource of a datagrid is bound to Customers.
Hope that helps.

What is the best way for my partner and I to share our work across computers?

What is the best way for my business partner and I to share our work (projects, libraries, images) across computers without emailing items? Is there creative cloud storage place we can share?

Can't I just purchase the 200 GB storage, throw our photo library in it, share it with her, and have both of our new and future pics dumped into it? If so, how do I do that?
The iCloud Photo Library cannot be shared between users, unless you are using the same AppleID.
You can share selected photos with shared albums: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
Or create a Photos library on an external drive, that you both can access, as described here for iPhoto: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users

Best way to move users

what is the best way to move user data and settings from one system to another? and how about backing up users? thanks in advance...

Just wanted to clarify:
1. Mike Bombich's method entails moving the entire /Users folder to another drive so everyone's home is moved?
2. David Pogue's method (as described in the Missing Manual) only entails moving individual, selected home folders to another drive (and no soft links needed)?
3. It sounds like Pogue's method is preferable anyway (for the paranoid at least), so if the 2nd drive dies or needs maintenance, I can still login as a user whose home folder is in the boot drive?
4. So, if I use Pogue's method, all that is needed are the steps listed in my original post above, and nothing else?
Thanks.

HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

Is/was failing or has failed?
If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
Have a great day.
