Charm: BP problem with the user

Hi!
I have problem with the user for the usage of ChaRM.
When I try to set the the (urgent) correction in Development i get the following error.
There is no valid business partner assigned to your user.
Meanwhile the appropriate BP-entry for the user exists:
External BP number: <SID> <CLNT> <user name>
Identification number: <SID> <installation number> <user name>
Furthermore I have the following error, when I try to approve the change request:
Partner 141 (Change-Manager) is neither an employee nor an organizational unit
I would be great to get some help here.
Thank you
regards
Thom

Hi Thomm,
1. There is no valid business partner assigned to your user.
In BP under identification tab,
ID type idenification number
CRM001 <SID> <installation number><CLNT><username>
2.Partner 141 (Change-Manager) is neither an employee nor an organizational unit
Assign the BP role as "Employee" for Change Manager

I have confirmed the network password, and also tried with resetting the password. I have not idea what else to do. Any help is much appreciated.

Problems with the user gdm

Every time the user gdm logins in, including when the GNOME (2) login manager starts,
gdm's settings (theme + icons) resets.
Also; in the login manager, the background is delayed, and is black until the colour and image(?) is set.
I have tried setting mode and owner to /var/lib/gdm (gdm's home folder) to 0777 and gdm.
I have tried setting the settings using:
− gconftool-2
− xhost +; su gdm; dbus-launch; gconf-editor
− xhost +; su gdm; dbus-launch; gnome-appearance-properties
as well as: su gdm; echo gnome-session > xinitrc; xinit -display :1.0 -- :1.0 vt9 &
Only manditory settings in gconf seems to work, but that is not an option.
Any ideas how I can change the GDM theme and icon theme, and making them stay?

Yes I'm still using GNOME 2 (using GNOME 3 is ludicrous).
It is installed using ARM (repo. at arm.konnichi.com)
I'm up to date.
The thing that is most important for my is to get the background instantly and not blank in the beginning.
But how do I customise in GNOME 2 if gdm (user) is only version 3?
I'm also interested in how to start the GNOME login session from a TTY (e.g. from were you get if you press Ctrl+Alt+F1) to another (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F8).
(Login, not already login as described in original post) Although that is more fit for a new topic, or actually retrying to look it up. (Not really high priority).

Problem with the user-defined message search in PI 7.3.1

Hi, all
I having been trying out the new user-defined message search in PI 7.3.1(with TREX). I am stuck on creating the search critera section and could not move forward. Here is how I define the filter:
Here is a sample payload:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ns:JOB_MT xmlns:ns="urn:peoplesoft:batch:job_r:message">
    <MsgData>
      <JOB>
         <ACTION_FLAG>NewPerson</ACTION_FLAG>
         <EMPLID>XXXXX</EMPLID>
         <REG_NO />
         <LAST_NAME>XXXX</LAST_NAME>
         <FIRST_NAME>XXXX</FIRST_NAME>
      </JOB>
    </MsgData>
</ns:JOB_MT>
I have tried the xpatch search criteria as the following:
/ns:JOB_MT/MsgData/JOB/EMPLID
/ns:JOB_MT xmlns:ns="urn:peoplesoft:batch:job_r:message"/MsgData/JOB/EMPLID
Both failed to return the emplid field when I clicked on the "test search criteria" against a PI message. Can you advise what I did wrong?
Thanks,
Jonathan.

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

Problem with"Evaluate User Policies"sch task after the upgrade OIM R1 to R2

Problem with "Evaluate User Policies" scheduled task after the upgrade from OIMg R1 to OIM 11g R2
After the upgrade process is completed we are having issue with Access policy not triggering if rule is set to custom attribute
- We had a Rule with custom attribute (Policy='Full-Time') the value gets populated by event handler which triggers the access policy in OIM 11g R1.. which worked fine in OIM R1
After the upgrade the value is getting populated but even after running "Evaluate User Policy" the Access Policy is not getting triggered.
We tested creating a rule with other custom attribute,policy does not trigger even after running Evaluate User Policy schedule Task in this case too
but if we try creating rule with OOTB attributes(Country='US') it works fine the access policy got triggered after running Evalute User Policy
One more issue we observed is
- Evaluate User Policy value usr_policy_update is not updated still set to '1' even after the Access policy got triggered (as it worked when rule is set to OOTB attribute)
I believe after the evaluate user policy gets triggered for a user it should update the value from '1' to '0')
Please let me know if you have any idea..Thanks!

well, I overcame the issue by 'fooling' the installer: on second node, change the scan ip address to point to something else (ie, different ip address to the scan in the first node, cleanup then rerun root.sh, it went past the trouble stage, then I still have problem later at the time database creation. I think scan ip address has to be setup correctly (round robin thingy)
This is how i did the cleanup before rerun root.sh

Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

It's either hand right or left.
I have the same issue myself. Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

Problems with the new itouch...

I got the new touch less than a month ago. Now he is not charging or conecting to any computer. I tried mine and a friend's and neither worked. Can this be a problem with the ipod or could it be the cable?

If you have the 5G iPod is could be the cable some users are reported either an initial defective cable or a cable that became defective after a short time.

Problem with the wireless speed on windows with bootcamp

I've got a problem with the following:
the wireless card of my mac pro is very slow when i run windows on my mac pro with bootcamp
When i just run OSX everything works fine, but in windows, when I connect to the wireless my wireless speed
drops to 11-18mbs.
First I thought that it was a drivers issue, but after the update of bootcamp drivers 1.4 the problem still exist.
First I had a Topcom wireless router now I've bought a Apple Airport Extreme, but the problem isn't solved yet...
The router isn't 2 meters away from my mac.
And the wireless speed is fine when i connect with my dads windows laptop...
Does anyone has a solution? using a cable isnt a solution for me because in September I will move with my mac pro one floor down.

You might want to ask this in the Boot Camp forums. As your wireless work fine under Mac OS X it sounds to be a software issue as opposed to a hardware one which means as Windows users they'll better be able to help.

I am having a strange problem with the awesome bar

The awesome bar/location bar is no longer as awesome as it used to be. When I start typing in an address it seems like it no longer checks through my history and gives a list of possible matches but just gives the stem of an address. For example, if I type in 'goo' it will complete this to 'google.com' if I then append this with an '/a' it will complete this to 'google.com/analytics' but that's as good as it gets, as I say, no list from the history or bookmarks.
I've checked the options and also about:config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly hadn't changed any of them when it started misbehaving). I've also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.
It's driving my slightly bonkers because I quite often use sites with long addresses and can't remember each of the components of each address. I'd switch to using Chrome but I also use Firebug a fair bit so don't really want to do this.

Hi cowtan, <br/>Sorry you are having problems with the awesome bar.
I imagine the new behaviour may be reversed by changing some pref but I have not looked that up.
Regardless of the new behaviour you seem to have some fault as my awesomebar still gives bookmarked items.
As a troubleshooting step try adding an asterisk in the awesomebar (as first character or anywhere) that should then filter the results in the dropdown list to bookmarked only items, does that work ?
* see [[Search your bookmarks, history and tabs with the Awesome Bar#w_changing-results-on-the-fly]]_changing-results-on-the-fly
You possibly have some extension interfering with the awesome bar, try Firefox in safe mode (but do NOT* at this stage try the Reset Firefox option)
<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''edit''' - personal opinion, if a user; such as you; is knowledgeable enough to use ''about.config'' the easy solution of ''FirefoxReset ''is probably not the best route, as it can have unwanted side effects that are avoidable.
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
Do your bookmarked items appear in safe mode ?
<u>Try a new Profile.</u><br/>The best method for troubleshooting this will be to set up a new Firefox profile, you can then: experiment, troubleshoot, alter settings or extensions installed in that profile without changing and potentially damaging your current profile.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
I suggest to prevent unexpected problems you
* use a sensible name such as test 2012 for the profile name
* ensure an empty folder is used & do not then rename or delete the new profile (instead add or delete shortcuts to it)
* also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox

Problems with the Proxy Programme--Please help

Hi All,
I have written a simple proxy server in the form of a servlet. I changed the proxy config of my browser to connect to this servlet hosted on the default context(http://localhost:8080) of the Tomcat 5.0.25 . Well , this servlet internally connects to the proxy of the corporate LAN . The logic that I have applied is as follows. The servlet gets the request from the client (ie the browser in this case) , extracts the headers and contents from the request, sets them to a new request that it forms and finally send this new request to the proxy. When the proxy responds, the servlet collects the response headers and contents adn writes them in its response. To sum up , this servlet transparently carries the requests and responses between the client(browser) and the corporate LAN proxy. Now the problem is this. Let's say , now I am accessing http://www.google.com.The browser sends a request to my servlet with the following headers as they are extracted by my servlet.
ProxyServer:::>posting request
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = accept : headerValue=*/*
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = referer : headerValue=http://www.google.com/
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = accept-language : headerValue=en-us
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = proxy-connection : headerValue=Keep-Alive
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = user-agent : headerValue=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; UB1.4_IE6.0_SP1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = host : headerValue=www.google.com
ProxyServer:::>headerValue::> headerName = cookie : headerValue=PREF=ID=1be27c0a74f198ca:TM=1082058853:LM=1082058853:S=bu6ORrygzm8AUkm8
ProxyServer:::>postRequest
I set these headers into a new connection opened to the proxy and post a fresh request to the proxy,which, in turn responds with the following headers.
ProxyServer:::>posted request successfully
ProxyServer:::>writing response
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Proxy-Connection : headerValue = [close]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Content-Length : headerValue = [257]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Date : headerValue = [Tue, 13 Jul 2004 14:01:40 GMT]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Content-Type : headerValue = [text/html]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Server : headerValue = [NetCache appliance (NetApp/5.5R2)]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = Proxy-Authenticate : headerValue = [Basic realm="Charlotte - napxyclt2"]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse-->headerName = null : headerValue = [HTTP/1.1 407 Proxy Authentication Required]
ProxyServer:::>writeResponse exiting
ProxyServer:::>wrote response successfully
I write these headers back to the client. According to what I was thinking, the client ie the browser would open a new dialog box asking for username/password owing to the presence of the "Proxy-Authenticate " header. But it does not happen that way. Rather the browser stops responsding and displays a blank page. Does anyone know why it happens this way? I am pasting the server prog below for everybody's reference.

Hi serlank ,
Thanks for your reply. Well , I initially I thought of not pasting the code,as it was too long. But I could not help it,as I thought I must show in code what I exactly meant. That's why I followed a description of my problem with the code. You could probably have copied the code and pasted it in one of your favourite editors to take a look at it. Did you,by any chance, try to read it on the browser? And as regards reposting the same message, I can say that I did it as I felt the subject was not quite appropriate in the first posting and I was not sure as to how I could delete/alter the posting. I am not asking for a code-fix,but some suggestions from some one who might ever have come across such a thing.Anyway, lemme know if you have any idea on it. Thanks...

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

I never said that there was, perhaps you imagined it.

10.9.3 = major problem with fast user switching

I've found a major problem with the 10.9.3 update with my 27" iMac, you probably won't see it if your on a laptop. I did all the updates in past few days i.e., 10.9.3 combo update, iTunes 11.2.1.
Afterward I noticed a bug when Fast User Switching i.e. FUS. I have 5 accounts but the bug can be replicated with only 2.
I login to userA have some windows open but you can just open a Finder window. Now make the window at least half the with of the screen and move it to the right side of the screen. Then login in to userB and setup the windows the same way as userA. Now FUS to userA and then back to userB. You will notice that the Finder window has been moved to the upper left corner of the screen. This problem happened's to all user accounts you login to except the first account you logged into.
Since I didn't know what update caused the problem I had to use Time Machine to revert to my last version of 10.9.2. I then double checked the for the bug and sure enough everything was working fine. I now was going to install one update at a time and to see which one was causing the bug. So I installed 10.9.3 first and found the bug immediately.
I now know what's happening. When the switch occurs the screen is resized to about the equivalent of a 13" MBP. At this point the windows that fall some ware outside that size get moved to the upper left corner and resized. Then the screen resizes to normal but it's too late, all the window have moved and been resized to fit the 13" screen size.
You can reproduce this effect by going to System Preferences and selecting Display and then select the Scaled radio button. No select the smallest size, say, 1280 x 720. Now select the Best for display radio button again. You will now see all the windows you have open that were too big no moved and resized to the upper left corner. I know why the Mac moves the windows, it's so you don't have any windows stuck off screen.
Now when I say 13" it could be some other size but it's about that size give or take.

Yes, it's when you user Fast User Switching.
Here's snapshot before the screen resized. Ignore the window in the lower right, I moved it from the upper left before taking the screen shot.
I hate to say it but I'm glad I'm not the only one with this bug.
