Confusion of aliases made for two SMB shares with same folder name

I have a SMB file server here which provides me with a Departmental personal home filestore and also a Departmental personal web filestore. The name of the folder is the same in each case - my Departmental user name. If I check the Finder Preference 'Show these items on the desktop' for 'Connected servers', I can use the Finder's 'Connect to Server' for each - smb://webhome/john and smb://home/john - to make each of them appear on my desktop as 'john'.
It's rather confusing to have to remember that (say) the upper 'john' is my home filestore and the lower one is my web filestore, so I use Finder 'Make Alias' (e.g. via right click on each when selected') to create two aliases I can name 'web john' and 'home john'.
Alas, each alias always points to the same (apparently randomly selected) share!
This looks like a bug to me. I've tried unchecking the Finder 'Connected servers' preference, and then the shares appear under folder 'SHARE' - where I cannot create any aliases at all; I get the error message 'Operation could not be completed (Error -8058)'.
Reader, do you know of a work-around which will let me distinguish on my desktop between my two identically-named folders from different shares? Alas, I have no power to change the names of the original folders.

I should have said that one cannot rename the share icons in the usual way. Not being able to do this is the real bug here. If I'd been able to do this I wouldn't have need to try to create aliases, of course.

Hi,
I would use IP Address range boundaries instead which I normally do anyway instead for the AD site.

Different Bank charges GL account for two company codes with same COA

Hi,
While configuring OBXK ( Automatic GL account for bank charges) , I see there is provision to enter only one GL account per chart of accounts.
We have two company codes using same chart of accounts but different bank charges GL account. Please tell me how to configure this.
Thanks,
suresh

Hi,
Thanks Krishnan and Chandra.
I agree with you it could be the same GL account for bank charges, but the business requirement is such that in one of the two company codes, bank charges are required to be tracked separately to be subsequently transferred to the other company code. This means two separate GL accounts are required for two company codes which needs to be configured in OBXK.
Hope this clarifies my query further.
thanks,

Same query takes different time for two different users with same privileges

Hi,
Just wanted to know if it is possible for an INSERT query to take different amount of time for two different users for the same volume of data. If so, what could be the reason? I would like to add that we are not executing the query simultaneously. But it is always faster for user1(within 10-20 seconds) and slower for user2(takes around 8-10 minutes).

Show execution plan for each user. I think there is other reasons which you didn't not tell

Requesting license for two different ssystem with same SID

Hello,
Is it possible to request 2 license for two systems with same SID. The systems are on different machines and their HW key are different but both have same SID. While requesting license, will it permit to create 2 different license with SAME SID.
Regards
Deb

Hi Anil,
The one for which the license is already requested is the main development portal with SID EP2. I have installed one local version of SAP EP with the same SID EP2. Now we need a license for the second system.
If we change the HW key of the original license which is already applied in the main development portal under SMP and apply for a new license for the new local version, can it have any future implications, if any.
What is the best way to deal with the situation. Is there a full proof way to change the SID of the EP system, which I can try in the local EP system.
Regards
Deb

Different timeout for two protected applications with same AM 7.1

I have a AM 7.1 configuration planned.
We need to protect two different application url's; And provide different session & idle timeout for each of these url's.
Can we configure different timeout for two protected URL's / applications configured with same AM 7.1 ?
/Kasi

Hi,
I have not actually configured this, but you can create a policy for that application with an "Active Session Time" condition.
You also have an option there to destroy or not the session.
But if the user is allowed to do SSO between the 2 applications then you should consider if you can destroy the session or not.
Hope this helps.

[boxir2-sp4] two separate CMS with same cluster name

How can I change the current cluster name. Currently have two separate CMS on two separate servers but with the same cluster name. They both show up on each others CMC -> Servers page. This was not our intention.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Login to CCM, stop CMS server, go to it's properties, go to Configuration tab, check "change cluster name box" and type new cluster name, click apply, OK, start CMS. Done
Make absolutly sure that each CMS is pointing to it's own CMS DB !!!

Different material group for two CO companies with same material no.

Hi all
We are implementing another CO company in COPA. The issue is that both companies use the same materials number, but in COPA grouping categories (MATKL) must be different . I was thinking in using another category, but is there another option?

Hi,
By definition the materials should have the same material group (operationg concern - same market grouping).
However, if you have this as business requirement you need to first identify a field to store this. and then you an also use exit / derivation rule to replace the value with a condition on the company code. Advantage you have reduced the use of one more characteristic in CO-PA.
Hope this helps you.

Where statement on two different tables with same column name

Hello,
I have 2 financial tables:
tblincome, tblexpenses
in each table I have column name "monthPayed" (have values of all the months of the year).
I would like to create a balance view table that will show me the financial status for the Q1 (for example).
I have a column totalIncome and totalExpended respectively.
I've create a view table that shows me the financial balance at the moment but I want it to be devide to Quarters of the year...
Regards

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Where is the code you already tried? Or are you so lazy, so rude or so privileged that you did not do anything for yourself?
In fact that silly “tbl-” prefix is so bad that it has a name! It is called Tibbling and Phil Factor even wrote a humor article on bad programmers that use it.
Your narrative is vague; it sounds like this is the DDL:
CREATE TABLE Incomes
(payment_month CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
income_amt DECIMAL(12,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (income_amt > 0.00),
CREATE TABLE Expenses
(payment_month CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
expense_amt DECIMAL(12,2) NOT NULL
CHECK (expense_amt > 0.00),
>> in each table I have column name "monthPayed" (have values of all the months of the year). <<
I hope not! 2014 has not gotten to September, November or December yet! And the ISO-11179 data element name should be “payment_month”; but it is still wrong! An expense is not a payment! An income is not a payment!
>> I would like to create a balance view table that will show me the financial status for the Q1 (for example). <<
Report Period Table
Since SQL is a database language, we prefer to do look ups and not calculations. They can be optimized while temporal math messes up optimization. A useful idiom is a report period calendar that everyone uses so there is no way to get disagreements in the DML.
The report period table gives a name to a range of dates that is common to the entire enterprise.
CREATE TABLE Something_Report_Periods
(something_report_name CHAR(10) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
CHECK (something_report_name LIKE <pattern>),
something_report_start_date DATE NOT NULL,
something_report_end_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT date_ordering
CHECK (something_report_start_date <= something_report_end_date),
etc);
These report periods can overlap or have gaps. I like the MySQL convention of using double zeroes for months and years, That is 'yyyy-mm-00' for a month within a year and 'yyyy-00-00' for the whole year. The advantages are that it will sort with the ISO-8601
data format required by Standard SQL and it is language independent. The pattern for validation is '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-00-00' and '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[01][0-9]-00'
Now figure it out for yourself, show us what effort you put into this, then we will help you.

Two attached libraries with same package name

Hi everybody!
Excuse my bad english,
I have a Form (in Borms 6i) with 2 attached librairies. In these libraries, I have 2 packages and 2 procedures with the same name.
How I can call the good one in specific library?
Thanks so much

Valerie,
I don't think that there is a solution for this and Forms always picks the procedure of teh library you attached first. Is renaming the functions and procedures and option ?

Windows Server 2012: SMB share with transparent failover

Have a nice day to all!
I have 2 HP Proliant DL380P Gen8 servers containing 8 x 1TB disks (with P420i HP Smart Array RAID Controller) in each server.
So, there are 2 arrays on every server:
1. 2 x 1TB in RAID1 (+1 disk for hot swap) - system volume
2. 5 x 1TB in RAID5 (+1 disk for hot swap) - data volume
And I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard on each server.
Than I created a failover two-nodes cluster.
And now I want to create a SMB share with transparent failover for all the second (data) volume (it's about 3.3TB in RAID5 array). How just can I reach this goal? I'm going to use it in future for Hyper-V VMs, so, the main reqirement is powered-on and working
VMs even if one node of SMB share cluster is failed.
I wasn't able to see my volumes in failover cluster manager. I tried to create iSCSI targets, storage pools, virtual disks, etc. but no luck. My failover cluster manager can't see it to create SMB share!
Can anyone advice me something?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have your storage you want to export as being a shared storage visible to your cluster (part of CSV). Then you'll configure failover file shares using content accessible from both cluster nodes. Refer to this manual for diagrams (ignore StarWind
and replace it logically with your existing shared storage you've used to create your cluster):
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/configuring-ha-file-server-on-windows-server-2012-for-smb-nas
Also see these manuals from MS on how to create failover file server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753969.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=ws.10).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
However if you want to use existing storage located on the both nodes you're out of luck. Microsoft does not provide anything representing local DAS to the cluster nodes. If you want to use existing DAS then you'll have to stick with a third-party product
like StarWind, SteelEye or DataCore. To create something like in this picture:
So you'll have a configuration with only two nodes, no physical shared hardware (SAS JBOD, FC or iSCSI) and vSAN. Refer to this manual:

Hope this helped :)

Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords? Yes, there is more to the story.

I have an iMac, and iPhone. I've had my Apple ID for a few years.
My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password. I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID. When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords? (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
Thanks.

Hi
You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

Imap wasn't designed for this kind of multi user situation. It assumes that you the account owner will be using it to manage one account via multiple devices. So once you have read a message it has been read, regardless of which device you were using at the time.
You appear to be describing a situation where you want more than one user to read each message, without anyone knowing if anyone else has read it or even dealt with it. Frankly, I can't imagine a set of circumstances where this workflow would make sense or be useful.
You can do various things such as manually setting messages as unread, or moving them from one folder to another to indicate that they have been processed, but much of this relies on users being thorough and conscientious.
You may need to be running your own server to do this sort of email message managing, if you really need to fork a message so it gets to multiple recipients. Managing which users see a particular message is a job for a server, not the end-user's email client.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

HT204053 can two devices share the same apple id

can two devices share the same apple id

Yes.
According to this Support Article > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it.
