Best way to assign multiple users security, privileges and workbook shares.

Is there another way to assign multiple users to a single workbook other than using the workbook management option. Something that can be done from the command line? How about assigning security and privileges from the command line?

You could consider altering the appropriate EUL tables directly - I'm sure someone has the code for this - but requires database interaction (and might not be supported by Oracle, etc.).
However, the concept or Oracle responsibilities (in Oracle Apps EUL) or Oracle roles (in Oracle database) is what's usually done. In fact, I don't like using users directly as if they go, etc. it's a pain.
Better to use pre-defined groupings that you probably already have (ie: Apps responsibility such as: AP Inquiry). You set the privs / security there and it takes effect for all users logging in with that responsibility / role.

Best Ways to Handle Multiple Users

First post....heres my question. Can anyone help me determine the best way to handle multiple users in itunes? Some Background:
My family shares one computer. We have on folder on the hard drive where we keep all our music files. I got an ipod and itunes and added some of the music to itunes and have pretty much used itunes for my music.
Now my girlfriend got an ipod and I am hoping to somehow keep her music away from mine so to speak. So that I can keep synching my ipod without adding a bunch of music I dont want.
Is there a way to handle this? So thankfull for any help!

There is an apple article on this here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432
It sounds as though method 1 would be best for you.
Also see how to keep the music files in one place to avoid duplication:

Best way to manage multiple users and multiple devices?

I would like some advice on the best way to manage iTunes and devices synced to it for multiple users -- Here's the scenario: I have 2 grade-school aged kids, who each have an iPod Nano and are going to get my old iPhone 3G to use as an iTouch after I upgrade my phone to the iPhone 4. In addition to my iPhone, I have a MacBook, a 30GB iPod, and a iMac. We are also looking into buying an iPad that we'll want to use (among other things) to watch movies while traveling. All music/apps/movies are currently located in my iTunes account on the iMac, and we sync via my personal @mac.com account.
I don't want to simply set up separate iTunes accounts for each kid, as I'd like to be able to control what music & apps they buy/download, and I've already got a fair amount of "their" music/apps/movies in my account, and don't want to have to try and move it from my account to theirs. Any advice on how to best set up an iTunes sharing arrangement that allows me to control their accounts, and sync all of the above devices would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mac Mini Server - Best Way to Enable Multiple Users to Connect via Remote Access Concurrently?

Hi
Is there a limit on the number of users that can connect simultaneously via remote access to a Mac Mini running Mac Mini Server?

If you have the server application on your Mac mini there is an upper limit but it is so high that I wouldn't worry about it. Depending on how you will be using the server and what it will be supporting there is a practical limit based on performance not software. If you reach the limit of satisfactory performance, the solution is adding another Mac mini server.

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

Assign multiple users to a single role?

I have a process where I need to assign multiple users to a given role. In this case, I want one of the users to 'win', and take ownership of the process step. (Imagine the situation where one user is the primary processor, the other is a backup; if the primary is out of the office, i want the secondary to have the ability to pick up the request).
I've tried to assign multiple users to the same process role as follows:
rtm.addRuntimeDefinedUserToRole(prInstance, roleName, user, userContext );
but the process is only assigned to a single user - from my testing, it seems to be assigned to the first user specified using the above api call.
Is there a way to do this programatically?

Hi,
Can you please advice how you did this?
I am using Visual composer as my UI. But with looks like i am not able to pass a structure from VC so i can map it to "Assign Users to Process role" CO.
Per my understanding I need to write a program using GPI API which populates the User_List structure of the above CO. But after that i am not sure how to use this CO. Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to use the "Assign Users to Process role" CO to assign multiple users to the role dynamicallly?

What is the best way to manage multiple ipods using the same itunes?

Hi Everyone
i am trying to manage three different ipods through the one Itunes, all with very different tastes, not sure if I am doing it the best or easiest way so does anybody have a simple solution on what you're supposed to do, to keep it all simple!
Cheers
Liv

If you have created a new Windows user account you need to log out and then log back in with your original user name. By default each Windows profile will have an independent iTunes library.
If instead you managed to create a new library within the same profile. click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. Click Choose and navigte back to your original which should be at <User's Music>\iTunes.
Your question as posed was:
What is the best way to manage multiple iPods using the same iTunes {library}?
in which case Selected Playlists is probably the best approach. Simply create a playlist for each device, Alice's iPod, Bob's iPhone etc. and sync the device with the appropriate list.

Best way to achieve multiple paths with quizzes using Captivate 6?

I’m looking for the best way to achieve multiple paths and quizzes using Captivate 6.
Here is the scenario: The learner watches general slides 1 – 3 and then chooses between Path A, Path B, or both paths combined. If they choose Path A then they watch the A portion only and take the A Quiz only. Same happens for Path B and for the two paths combined. The learner would only have to go one path to complete the course.
What I’m finding is Captivate only has one Quiz results page (even if you create two separate quizzes, it merges them). I was trying to avoid having three separate projects for the same module to keep it simple. I see if I have three separate projects I could use the Multi-SCO Packager to merge them for use on my Moodle LMS. But wait, I don't have the elearning suite, so I don't have access to the Multi-SCO Packager...
My question is: What is the best approach way to accomplish this goal? Any recommendations?

Captivate 6 has Branch Aware quizzing. Turn on that option in Quiz Settings and then your Quiz Results page should only show results for the branch your user visits.

Is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle db

Can Any one tell me, is there any way to create multiple users in a single shot in oracle database.

Hello Nunhum,
I guess this was not my question.. This is not what I m asking.. I know there is not a single sql statement in oracle ,which could create multiusers alike UNIX/LINUX(OS LEVEL), Whatever you have written..is simple creating them one by one.
What I am expecting is to have PL/SQL statement which could help us in this regard.

The Best Way to Assign an Enum to the Corresponds value of a String?

I am reading from and xml file configuration file. The data being returned is stored as a String and corresponds to a Enum value. My question is - What is the best way to assign the enum the value that corresponds to value of the string?
public enum Names { BOB, FRED, JIM, SAM }
String name = "FRED"; // This is the data retuned from the xml file.
Names n = // I want to assign n the value of Names.FREDI know I could do an "if" statement. However, this is a contrived example with only a few enum values. In the real world, this enum list could be quite large.
I have looked into reflection, but I don't know whether there is an easier way to achieve my objective?
Thank you for your time,
Harold Clements

But for looking up "how do I do X with a subclass of type Y", I think the API documentation should be able to answer that.I think I disagree when it's a language feature.That's definitely a point worth observing.
By that reasoning you'd expect to populate the API docs with definitions for class (and this and super) all over the place.I think you're exaggerate, and you know it ;-)
If those were to be mentioned in the JavaDoc, they should obviously go into the documentation of java.lang.Object only.
I suppose you could have a "synthetics" section to the docs in much the same way that the inherited methods and fields are defined but it doesn't seem very useful.It's not useful if it's just clutter that's the same everywhere, of course.
But in this particular case a simple "note that enum classes have a syntetic valueOf() method that does foo bar baz" in the body of the class documentation would have been a nice guesture (especially since that part is pretty small here anyway).
And yes, I also think that the length field of arrays should find some mention in the JavaDoc. I don't know how and where, 'though.

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

Added:

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.

Best Way to Aggregate Multiple Announcement Apps and Possibly External RSS Feed

Hello,
I have two separate announcement apps (one in sub-site A, and one is sub-site B). I am trying to create a webpart that will display content from both apps together.
I have tried to setup a CSWP and have been able to set the query to pull in the data (Although it shows expired announcements, which I would need to eliminate). Now, I am trying to customize the display of the CSWP, including the property mapping values
to display the announcement title (currently working with the URL as a link) and body (truncated like the announcement summary view if possible).
How can I get the body from the announcement to display? The 'body' field isn't listed as an option in the drop down list of mapping values. Do I need to toggle an option on the separate announcement apps, create a column, map a field, or some combination?
Also, I'd like to know if it is possible to add in an external RSS feed. Or, if there is a completely different way to approach and accomplish this, please let me know.
Thank you

Hi,
To display the “Body” field of Announcements list properly in Content Search Web Part, you can take a look at this blog about how to customize the display template for a good

Best way to assign timestamp in coherence?

What is the best way to assign a timestamp to an object when it is added to a cache? Should I just do this or is there something more efficient?
public class NewOrderTrigger implements MapTrigger {
    public NewOrderTrigger() {
    public void process(MapTrigger.Entry entry) {
        Order o = (Order)entry.getValue();
        o.setSubmittedTime(System.currentTimeMillis());
        entry.setValue(o);
    // ---- hashCode() and equals() must be implemented
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        return o != null && o.getClass() == this.getClass();
    public int hashCode() {
        return getClass().getName().hashCode();
}Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
There are couple issues I would like to bring to your attention.
1. The System.currentTimeMillis() API does not guarantee the time going forward. It's theoretically possible (e.g. with Time Synchronization Service) that with two consequent calls the second one returns value less than the first one. You could compensate for this effect by either using System#nanoTime() or com.tangosol.util.Base#getSafeTimeMillis()
2. The MapTrigger's process always has to deserialize and re-serialize the value. If your object model is POF aware, you could use the PofUpdater instead, optimizing out both steps:
public void process(MapTrigger.Entry entry) {
    PofUpdater updater = new PofUpdater(PROP_SUBMITTED_TIME);
    updater.update(entry, new Long(Base.getSafeTimeMillis()));
    }3. Updates that come from a single client node but belong to different partitions and land on different servers could have significantly different timestamps. Whether or not this is a concern depends on your usage of the SubmittedTime property.

Gene

Best way to migrate local users to the network - move home folders?

Hi everyone,
I am about to set up my Mac mini server (Snow Leopard Server). I have one iMac with three user account on it (local), another iMac that we just bought and my MacBook Pro with my admin account on it (Snow Leopard). So all have Snow Leopard.
What would be the best way to move the three local accounts AND their home folders to the server?
What would be the best way to make my portable user account into a mobile user account on the server?
I am planning to create all users on the server (with the same username and passwords etc.) then move the local home folders from the iMac to the server through some direct wired connection. My concern is with this move - will there be permissions mismatch issue? I am sure there will be as the UID would be different for the same accounts (pre-existing and newly created, eventhough their username and passwords are the same).
Any best practices? strategies?
Does Apple have any documentation on this specific topic? - that is moving local user accounts and their corresponding home folders onto the server?
Thanks much!
Kenneth

Hi again,
I haven't gotten round to it - but may have an alternative route in the mean time: the brand new 27" iMac just arrived, and rather than doing a full 'migration assistant' setup, I am going to try the following:
1. on the new iMac: only create a local Admin account, user name totally unrelated with any other account name;
2. on the server: settle all the network user account settings, portable home directories, managed preferences etc. for each user;
3. on another computer: log on under the corresponding local user account, and copy one's home folder entirely to an external drive - do not use this machine again under this user account;
4. on the new iMac: log in as a network user, make sure the home folder and library syncing works as desired, set some preferences (and check that this gets synced to the server drive); copy the parts of the home folder & library for this user from the external drive - wait until it all gets synced back and forth - and check any permissions, preferences whatever issue (the local account on the other computer is available for cross-checking, just don't change any documents or settings on that one)
5. if all works well on the new iMac: delete this local user account on the other computer.
6. repeat steps 3-5 for each other computer where this user has a local account (one 'old' iMac, one 13" MB) - will also allow to check and filter any duplicate documents which have accumulated over the different machines.
7. create the network accounts for this user on the other computers, and check the syncing etc.
8. repeat for each user (4 in total for us).
I think this might just work, since the new iMac at present has no accounts - so no possible issues with similar account names & passwords etc - and you keep the 'old' local account on the other machine as a safeguard anyway.
Any particular thoughts or comments on this proposed process??
How about permissions: does the copying to an external disk, and then back onto another computers disk solve that??
