Blocking or ignoring users

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to ignore posts from certain users...? By this I mean, when I view a thread, I don't even want to see a post from certain users.
I was also wondering if there was a way to block certain users from posting to a thread you started...?
I am guessing the answer to both these questions is no, but wanted to ask.

I have to disagree. To give one example, since the same questions turn up from time to time, I've posted a number of help pages on my webspace, so that I can simply refer questioners to them instead of having to keep typing (or pasting in) similar answers. I wouldn't want to see that facility withdrawn. Also one posts to sites offering relevant software - Transmit and Cyberduck are frequently referenced.
Those of us who run our own servers or have system level access to hosted accounts can do a lot of interesting things with that information.
I really think you are being over-cautious. If I access something on your server you can find out my ISP, my general geographical area, my monitor resolution, my operating system, and what page I linked from. You cannot access my home address, my passwords or anything personal like that. The information I listed is available to server operators every time you access anything on the net. Every time you browse you leave a trail behind you. If you make a habit of downloading illegal material you can expect your ISP to co-operate with the police in locating you (by releasing the information tying you to the IP number used) but ordinary users cannot do this (privacy laws). Otherwise if you don't want anyone to know your IP number - don't use the internet.

Blocking locks by user report hangs

Please,
"Blocking locks by user" report under "Database Administration Section" of "Data Dictionary Reports" is hanging

Hi Dharmendra,
Please set an authorization trace in ST01 and then ask the user to execute the transaction and the steps on the same application server as the o ne on which the trace has been set (valid in case we are talking about mutiple application servers for same <SID>). After this is done switch off the trace,list it and fill all the authorization objects. That might give you the perfect idea.

In which of the following sections of a PL/SQL block is a user-defined exception raised?

Hi,
A (somewhat elementary) question:
In which of the following sections of a PL/SQL block is a user-defined exception raised?
a) Exception section
b) Declarative section
c) Error handling section
d) Executable section
I'd be interested to hear people's answers.
Thanks.

As Etbin already noted, there are only 3 sections and user-defined exception can be raised in any of them. User-defined exception raised in declarative section example:
declare
    year_zero exception;
    pragma exception_init(year_zero,-01841);
begin
    declare
        v_dt date := to_date(1721420,'j');
    begin
        null;
    end;
exception
    when year_zero
      then
        dbms_output.put_line('Year 0!');
end;
Year 0!
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

NPS Not Respecting to Ignore User Dial-in Properties

Two domains, one works fine against it's NPS and the other does not; both look to have settings the same.
The one with issues is continually failing authentication with: "The Network Access Permission setting in the dial-in properties of the user account in Active Directory is set to Deny access to the user."
Every AD user we checked has the box checked to rely on NPS policy (none are set to deny) and the single policy we have set is set to allow and to ignore user-specific dial-in properties.
Policy conditions are NAS Port Type: Wireless/Wireless Other, Windows Groups (domain users) and Authentication Type EAP. Machine certificate is set correctly with PEAP and nothing else is different than defaults.
Any ideas on what's going on here?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Hi,
According to this article:
If the value of Network Access Permission is Control access through NPS Network Policy, NPS makes authorization decisions based solely on network policy settings.
Managing Network Policies
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732724(v=ws.10).aspx
Configure NPS to Ignore User Account Dial-in Properties
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732252(v=ws.10).aspx
So I guess NPS is not configured properly or not working properly.
Please check the checklist about deploying wireless authentication.
Deploying 802.1X Authenticated Wireless Access
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd282998(v=ws.10).aspx
In addition, you can also have a look at event log. This may give us some clue.
Hope this helps.

IDOC POsting Error: Transition no. OBJ_SYS is blocked by another user

Hi Experts,
I m sending the XML from a third party system into SAP using XI as middleware for IDOC posting (FB01).
I m getting an error <b>Transition no. <xx> is blocked by another user</b> while sending intercompany and cash applications. SAP is unable to process such XML directly.
But if i login to SAP and mannually post the IDOC, it is getting posted successfully.
Any idea what may be the cause?
Useful answers will be rewarded for sure.
Regards
DhanyaR Nair

Hi Dhanya,
        In your inbound idoc processing program, pls do use the lock mechanism for the FI document which you are processing and if it cannot be locked then keep it on wait for sometime and check for the same.
        If its a standard program check whether it can be done in XI.
      When SAP is locking the transaction it will be unlocked after the commit work and hence its happening.
The reason why you may not be getting this in individual processing is that you are doing the same thru a single session. And the lock if am not wrong is happening in table level and not in record level.
Cheers
JK

Risk Analysis - Ignored Users

I have a client who wants to have ignored users (in User Level Risk Analysis) set to Loacked OR Expired....not just Locked, not just Expired, not Locked AND expired....is there a "hidden" selection somewhere?

Hi Jack,
i have made a quick test (RAR 5.3 SP11) and the option "Locked and Expired" ignores these users:
1) Locked and Expired
2) Locked
3) Expired
So i would say that "Locked and Expired" is "Locked or Expired" too.
You can make a quick test with your SPxx and you will see.

Ignore user input until dialog (no command period allowed)

OK. Hopefully this will finish up my AS app bundle. I need the script to continue its process until the dialog is displayed. When the guest user does ({"."} using command down), the script just ends. Because it doesn't show up as error 128, the cancel script can't run to finish the process.
I have found that during a dialog, the user can't do ({"."} using command down) to prematurely quit the script. But then the script has to wait and can't continue processes with the dialog displayed... can it?
Basically, I need a way to keep the user from canceling the script before the dialog. It would also be nice to allow the user to be able to let the script run in the background while they did tasks like check eMail, etc.
Is there a way to ignore user input until the dialog?

here is what my script will be like when complete:
the app is installed into the login items via an script placed in iCal. When the user logs in, a process happens and the desktop image of the day is loaded. The dialog says "Please confirm that your desktop image is Thursday's image." If they confirm, then the script ends. If they select "is not" then the script repeats, it goes through the process again, installing the necessary files or replacing the old ones and doing other processes.
I have the master app that I can open up once a week and insert the necessary files into the contents folder. Then I make a quick little adjustment to the script, and set it in the server folder.
I have two real problems with the app: 1. I don't want user interference during the process to mess with the installation, 2. I don't want command period to stop the app from taking its course.
Another side issue is that I can access the enclosed files to set the desktop but can't find a way to copy the files to the correct folder. I couldn't find a way to use automator as a folder and an app. I would rather do it in AppleScript where I'm a little more familiar.

What exactly is your ignored user list for?

I have had reason to place a couple of posters on my ignored user list. Naively, I assumed this would make their posts invisible but their posts are still there.
Does it serve any purpose or have I done it wrong?

This is a community forum. For communication with ones fellow users.
If you just want to ignore your fellow users, you are clearly on the wrong one.
Does this mean if I'am an ex BT user i can't post here??????
Sounds like exclusion to me !!!!!!!!

Will I know I've been blocked by another user?

If I have been blocked by another user, will I receive some kind of notification? When I send text messages to the other user, will they simply not be delivered, or will they bounce back to me as undeliverable?

A buyer can be blocked from buying an item but not from 'seeing' an item. Usually if you can't see the items it means that the seller does not have shipping for that particular item to Canada. If you want to see if that is the case, change your shipping location to the U.S. on the top right of the search page so that you can tell if there are listings available just to the U.S.

Default language and region, oracle ignores users wishes

hi!
oracle seems to ignore users language wishes. for test, i
installed oracle 9i client. i'm using windows 2k us english, but
use localization of switzerland (numbers, date, etc.).
the installer was:
- in german
no way to convice it to go to english
- i removed german from the installed product languages,
i just left english.
then i started enterprise manager:
- it was in german!!
no way to get it to use english
- all the umlauts were desplayed
strangely.
you should really rethink your concept of localization. language
is NOT localization. a gui should offer to change the used
language EASILY (one click). a database should offer to change
the language in wich it writes error messages easily.

The Oracle installer and the enterprise manager pick up the
user's perferred language from the regional setting on your
Windows OS. Did you by any chance set your locale on Windows to
German (Swiss) ?
Regarding the language of the database error messages, this is
driven by the language part of the NLS_LANG environment
variable. This is also session based, so it you really want to
you can have the 1st error message in German , follow by the
next one in French , and then in Italian etc ....

Block and unblock users

Hello,
I am triying to build an application that block and unblock users, using UME api.
This is the code that I created, but it is not working, I always get the exception. I call this method in onClick event of a button.
My user's database is a LDAP.
public void onLocked(Event event) throws PageException {
               IUserAccountFactory useraccountf;
               IUserAccount useraccount;
               String uniqueId;
               boolean locked;
               try{
                    useraccountf = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();
                    uniqueId = useraccountf.getUserAccountByLogonId(username).getUniqueID();
                    useraccount= UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory().getMutableUserAccount(uniqueId);
                    locked = useraccount.isLocked();
                    if (locked == false){
                         useraccount.setLocked(true,2);
                         useraccount.save();
                         useraccount.commit();
                         componentState = SUCCESS;
                    else{
                         myBean.setError(true);
                         myBean.setMessage("El Usuario ya estaba Inactivo");
                         componentState = EDIT_USER_DATA;
               catch (UMException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    componentState = ERROR;
Thanks,

hello, please see https://blog.mozilla.org/tanvi/2013/04/10/mixed-content-blocking-enabled-in-firefox-23/ for details why this is happening. firefox doesn't block vimeo in particular, but all active content (scripts, flash objects, etc.) that is served via http:// one sites that otherwise use a secure connection (https://).
i think vimeo is currently working on that: http://vimeo.com/help/faq/embedding#https but otherwise you'd have to temporarily switch to serving your site via http:// to avoid the issue...

Hi Sukumar,
You can not block the standard users, but you can assign all standard users to one use like initiator.

Payment Block Validation for User group

Dear SAP Validation Expert,
We like to allow only selected FI users to change Payment Block to ' ' (Free for Payment) in tcode: FB02, FB03 and FBL1N.
Curently we have managed to block other un-selected users from changing the Payemnt block to Free for Payment.
But our issues are Other fields also NOT able from changing/maintaining. For example in FB02, user NOT able to change Payment Block (BSEG-ZLSPR) from 'B' to ' ' (Free for Payment) which is expected but user also NOT able to maintain other field such as Payment term(BSEG-ZTERM), Baseline date (BSEG-ZFBDT), Assignment (BSEG-ZUONR) and Text Field(BSEG-SGTXT).
Below is our Validation, please advice how to improve it so that other fields can be changed too. Your swift reply is very much appreciated.
Pre-requisite:
( ( SYST-TCODE = 'FB02' ) OR
( SYST-TCODE = 'FBL1N' ) OR
( SYST-TCODE = 'FB03' ) AND
( BSEG-ZLSPR = ' ' ) AND
SYST-UNAME <> 'HIS20083'
Check:
BSEG-ZLSPR <> ' '
Message: E: You have no authorization.

Hi,
In your Validation small change has to be done.
Pre-requisite:
SYST-TCODE = 'FB02' ) OR ( SYST-TCODE = 'FBL1N' ) OR ( SYST-TCODE = 'FB03' )
Check:
SYST-UNAME 'HIS20083' AND BSEG-ZLSPR = ' '
Message: E: You have no authorization.
Try in the above procedure.

How to unblock a G/L account which is blocked by a user?

Hi experts,
A user has made a posting via T.code F-02.
When she wants to clear the account via T.code F-03, she gets the message that "account X 0898 is currently blocked by user X.
Where can I unblock the account.
Thank you for your feedback.
Kind regards,
Linda

Hi Jaya,
Thank you.
This issue dates from last Friday, so no other users are working with this account.
I think the user has locked the account (maybe by closing not properly the screen).
How can I take away that lock?
There is no posting block on the account (no flag on the field posting block in table SKB1).
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Linda
