Correct permissions and owner for restored Applications

Hello everyone.
I have re-installed some applications from a backup (those which don't require an installer) and some from a previous Time Machine backup of the same unit.
So, to recap, a fresh installation of Snow Leopard, updated to 10.6.5 via Combo update and then re-installed and restored some applications.
However, when checking in Terminal, I now find a mixture of permissions and owner settings, like some applications are owned by root:wheel, some by root:admin and some other by username:admin.
All seem to be chmod'd as 755.
I have run a Permission Repair from Disk Utility, but this still has left the owner of Applications as just described above.
I have tried to search here but I couldn't find anything or perhaps I didn't input the right search string.
Which settings would you recommend?
I'd appreciate your help and/or any link that could clarify this.
Thank you.

There is no single set of permissions right for every app. Owner, Group, & Other permissions will vary depending on how they are installed, by whom, & the level of system & user access they require.
If you are not having any issues running the apps, I suggest that you leave things as they are. If you are, it would help a lot if you listed the apps giving you problems, & what those problems are. Also let us know if you have multiple user accounts, more than one admin account, & so on.

Load username and password for external application?

How to load username and password for external application?
For each user, we should take its Portal username and password for one specific external application. How to do that ?
Regards.

ABSOLUTLY YES !!!!
We already know the external application login information for each user and we want to by pass this user task. (Specially because the user itself doesn't know its username/password for the external appli). In fact we are trying to integrate IStore product to Portal by using this mechanism.

My iphone suddenly crashed and asked for restoration, however itunes sends error message of host not available (3014), what should I do?

Try -
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How to agree the term and condition for mobile application

i would like to click agree with iphone new term and condition for mobile application, but couldn fint the button to click agree....

Hi
You need it because it's possible to have a complex pricing procedure, and you can't do it with a simple select on a table. Think that you can have pricing requirements, formulas (ie: VOFM) and so on in your pricing procedure (tcode V/08).
I hope this helps you

Message displays itunes cannot read the contents of the iphone when connected on a laptop. Doesnt let me back up and sync and asks for restoring to factory defaults??!!

Hello ardninam,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If the content on your iPhone cannot be read by iTunes, then you will need to follow the directions in the popup and restore your iPhone to the factory settings. You can then try and restore from a previous backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

How to configure ENV and DB for multithreaded application?

Hi,
From document, I know DB_THREAD must be checked for both ENV and DB, but , I don't know which one is best choice for multithreaded application while facing DB_INIT_LOCK and DB_INIT_CDB. In my application, there maybe multi readers and writers at the same time, should I use DB_INIT_LOCK instead of DB_INIT_CDB? what other flags should I use?
DB_INIT_CDB provides multiple reader/single writer access while DB_INIT_LOCK should be used when multiple processes or threads are going to be reading and writing a Berkeley DB database.
Thanks for your seggestions and answers.

Thanks for the explanation,
The Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store product
allows for multiple reader/single writer access
to a database. This means that at any point in time,
there may be either multiple readers accessing a
database or a single writer updating the database.
Berkeley DB Concurrent Data Store is intended for
applications that need support for concurrent updates
to a database that is largely used for reading.
If you are looking to support multiple readers and
multiple writers then take a look at the Transactional
Data Store product
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/programmer_reference/transapp.html)
In this case the Environment is typically opened with:
DB_INIT_MPOOL, DB_INIT_LOCK, DB_INIT_LOG, and DB_INIT_TXN.
Let me know if I missed any of your question.
Thanks,
Sandra

Username and password for imported application

Hi,
I'm using webspace at apex.oracle.com for testing my application with apex 4.1.1.
My application was build with apex 2.0 at my local PC.
I have successfully uploaded and installed my application.
But now I can't login to my application, neither with my account as the
administrator nor with my imported account as the developer of my
application.
There is no problem logging in with my administrator account and creating
a new application. But that doesn't help.
Can I reset the password? Can I pass the application to another user,
i.e. the workspace administrator?
Creating a new user with the name of the old developer doesn't help.
Any suggestions?
Stefan Franke

Hi
No, I was never asked to upgrade the application.
Because I was unsure, I repeated the import of my application.
I have been asked if I want to change the application id.
I decided to set a new app id by apex automatically.
Now I have a second app with another id but the same content and the same problem.
a. I have made no decisions.
Now I checked a new way:
Shared components
Security
Authentication Schemes
I see:
Edit     DATABASE               No Authentication (using DAD)
Edit     DATABASE ACCOUNT - Current     Database Accounts
Edit     HTML DB                    Application Express Accounts
I can click "Edit", under "Name" select a "Scheme Type" and I here can change
from "Database Accounts" to "No Authentication (using DAD)".
Now I can start my application. Everything is fine, except security I guess.
Now again I changed "DATABASE ACCOUNT - Current" to
"Application Express Accounts" and I can login with my Apex account.
That´s what I want. Great!
Thank you very much for your help!

Installer and icon for j9 application

Hello there!
I've done a j9 (personal profile for windows mobile) application and I wish to change the executable icon on the device. Additionally I'm in need of as installer for this application. Is it possible to build a cab file with both application and j9 to deploy on the taget device?
many thanks!

I would like to do exactly what you are describing, however I am not there yet since I just started the development of a Java on Pocket PC project.
I did see reference to a tool by IBM called JXE which seems to wrap up a java app in a native executable for Pocket PC
Check out their wirelss forum and you may find more details on this.

File permissions and ownership in the /Applications directory

Hello,
I've noticed that the application files in /Applications have a mix of the following ownerships:
root:admin
myusername:admin
501:admin
I understand that 501 refers to the first user created, however the current username that I use is not the first one that was created.
I find that often when I am deleting an app, I am prompted for a password.
I also just tried to edit a text file in an application subdir and could not save the changes due to lack of permission. The owner was 501 and I had to use sudo to chown it.
What is the ownership supposed to be on all of these files?
-Travis

Travis B wrote:
So the real oddity is that there are thing in there that are owned by 501 and tbarth? They should all be root?
No. Only those applications that were installed by a correctly designed installer should be owned by root. That is a fairly small subset of all current applications. Most applications will be owned by whomever dragged the application into the Applications folder.
Should I chown them all to root:admin? Or root:root? Or just leave it all as is...
I think you should leave them. Regardless of who owns them, you don't need to be creating any text files in there.
Please be clear on this fact: if you do any sort of chown or chmod on anything in /Applications you are running a distinct risk of rendering your system inoperative.

Correct rights in LaunchPad for DesignStudio Application

Hello,
we have a DS application published on LaunchPad and the problem, that normal users get an error opening it. If we set th users in the Administrators group, the application is running correctly.
We tried to isolate the issue and gave their group "Full Control" access to the followeing objects, but without success:
CMC->OLAP Connection [of the DS app] (everything granted)
CMC->Applications->DesignStudio (everything granted)
CMC->Applications->Analysis edition for OLAP (everything granted)
CMC->Folder [of the DS app] (everything granted)
CMC->Folder->the DS app (everything granted)
We activated on ALL running AdaptiveProcessingServers the Analysis Services.
What right we forgot to give the group?
SAP BI 4.1 SP5 64bit on AIX
DesignStudio 1.4 SP 1
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
thanks for the answers!
But we gave just these rights for the user group , but it do not work the same ..
Thank you

Devleoper Studio and Workplace for Java application development

1. Can someone please help me know what is netweaver developer studio and developer workplace ?
2. I came across EP master guide that says :
You install an AS Java centrally and the developer workplace on each developer host.
This option is recommended for large development projects with a need for local and central testing. Developers can test their developments locally using the developer workplace. For integration tests, they deploy their changes on the central AS Java.Ûê.® |
You install an AS Java centrally and Developer Studio instances on each developer host.
This option requires fewer hardware resources per developer host. In this landscape scenario you can set up an AS Java in development mode centrally and connect to it from the other hosts in the landscape using the Developer Studio.
How does Java application development take place ? Does this say that we need Developer Studio instances installed on every developer's host (suppose I have 3 developers) or do I need one server setup for Dev Studio and developers using some client program to connect to it ?
I suppose developers create programs on their local pc's, port them to Dev studio for testing and transfer them to EP Dev server ? Is that correct.. ? Thereby, we need CTS+ to promote developments to Qlty and Prod ?

IdM 7 and SSO for legacy applications

Dear experts,
Per SAP NetWeaver 7 documentation new approach allows SSO for any legacy applications without a need for a 3rd party IdM solution.
Could someone explain how this is handled? Does evary non-SAP application need to become aware of SAP IdM credential store and be able to interact with it, or some other - non-intrusive approach is being used?
Thanks in advance,
Eugene.

Hi Eugene,
SAP NetWeaver Identity Management 7.0 handles the provisioning of users (identities) for a heterogeneous landscape. Authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO) is being handled within the SAP NetWeaver platform. So introducing SAP NetWeaver Identity Management itself does not introduce additional SSO functionality.

Admin owner for planning application migration

I'm using the instructions from the following article to migrate a planning application. Migration of Hyperion Planning Application One of the steps is create a new Planning application with the same admin name as the older application. Unfortunatly, I'm not sure of what name was used when the application was originally created. Is there someplace where I can find this information.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
Just for your future reference it has been available since version 4.
In 9.2
Select Administration > Application Settings.
From the Show drop-down list, select Advanced Settings.
Click Go.
Select the System Settings tab.
You will see an option "Select User" > The owner will be in the dropdown.
Cheers
