Create a personal favourite/ignore user list

Hi,
How about being able to add forum users to a personal favourite / ignore list? Favourites could appear in one colour and blacklisted ones in another.
Much as we'd like to be one big happy family, we all know there are people whose comments you a) make a point of reading or b) others who you'd like to skip over. My problem is that there are so many people that I don't know who's who and the sheer volume means I often only have time to skim through posts. It can get frustrating release strategy in workflow just to get to a few gems of real knowledge.
Being able to visually identify those I'm most/least interested in would help enormously to filter out the noise.
What are people's thoughts on this?
Cheers,
Mike

I second that. For myself, if I had to choose, I would actually put the ignore list with the highest priority, because there are people with similar (user) names and I don't trust my memory
The forum can be great, the challenge is to avoid the fate of similar UseNet groups which ended up being split in moderated and unmoderated groups.
Another idea, instead of or in addition to a favourite & not-so-favourite users list would be something similar to what is done at Experts Exchange (which I admittedly don't visit regularly any more).
Starting a thread subtracts from your points, while being rewarded, as today, or simply visiting the forums add to your account. Of course not as much for visiting as for helping someone, but those points are at least free. That would be an effective stop mechanism for "spammers" and encourage people to check previously answered questions as it would not cost them anything.
A pet peeve of mine is I prefer people to post under their real name, not the name of the main character in their favourite movie.

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 !!!!!!!!

There has been an error creating the personal site. User cannot be found

Few of my Domain Users are able to create MySite and few of them are not, though they are having same permission.
There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact your site administrator for more information.

Please note for future reference that you should only ever post any one question ONCE.
Posting it twice means that there are parallel threads and peoples time is wasted.
Here one copy was posted as a new thread and the other copy was posted as a reply in another thread *which had already been closed by the Original Poster years earlier*.
You should not in any case add new questions to existing threads and especially not to old, closed, threads.
I have therefore deleted that other copy of this post. This is now the only place that people will see your question and the answers to it (which is how it should be).

How to find out the user list that created by someone?

Hi all:
Now I want to develop a program that can find out the user list created by someone.
such as :
John create 3 user in SAP ,they are u1,u2,u3.
Susan create 2 user in SAP , they are s1,s2.
I input the the parameter such as John , the program can give me the list :u1,u2,u3.
Could you tell me which table should I use in this program?
Thanks .
Elisa.

Hi Ling,
As per my understanding, you are looking for listing down the number of Users created by a particular users of the System. Like a System Administrator has created some 30 users. If this is correct, then you can use the table
USR02 - Logon Data (Kernel-Side Use). This table has 2 fields which are of importance - BNAME - User Name in User Master Record & ANAME - Creator of the User Master Record. You can query the ANAME with the username of the system and you will get the resultant users.
But I would reccomend to search the Table for a standard class, function module or RFC or BAPI so that you can reuse the same and need not to develop from the scratch.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Samantak.

When user click "My Site clicking My Content states: There has been an error creating the personal site. etc

Hello community
    Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI on its intranet there is a My Site. After creating the My Site the user account that created the intranet easily can create it's My Site, My Content and My profile. But when I logon as
a user
when I try to create the My site I get an error stating" "There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact your site administrator for more information". In the Event viewer log pasted below it says: A failure was encountered
and User cannot be found. So I check the UPS Synchronization and I can find the username in UPS "Manage User Profile" and I can logon with the username I just can't create the My Content after clicking My Site. The funny
thing is if I click My Profile the My Profile page appears (although it is a one-way trust relationship if I use "Check Names" when I try to "Add User" to a group an error message appears stating "No match found. etc). So the
question is how come the account that created the intranet can create
My Site and create My Profile and My Content but if a regular user account logs on and clicks My Site, My Profile and get a page but clicking My Content produces that error that says: "There has been an error creating the personal site. Contact
your site administrator for more information". (Note: The output from Event Viewer is posted below)?
    Thank you

Make sure you enable self service site creation on the MySite web application via CA

You mentioned trusts and people picker. I am having a bit of trouble understanding the exact issue here, but is the issue also coming up that the user in question cannot be found with people picker?
searchadforest setting to make sure SP can reach to trusted domains to find users.
"When a Web application uses Windows authentication, People Picker searches all two-way trusted forests and all two-way trusted domains. However, if you want to search from a one-way trusted forest or a one-way trusted domain, you must run the
setapppassword operation, and then run the peoplepicker-searchadforests
property."

SRM: Create Contact Person Could not create user; contact your system admin

Hi All,
First, I am not sure this question should be posted here, or SRM General. From my point of view, here is more suitable.
Our Problem:
Activity "Create Contact Person With Reference" error with message:
Step to reproduce:
1. Login to SRM JAVA as super administrator
2. Open tab "SRM Administration"
3. Using the current query, search for Business-Partner no: 30000725
4. Press "Create Contact Person with Reference"
5. Fill all required fields, tick "Is contact person" checkbox
6. Put: /SAPSRM/SUPPLIER as Role
7. Save
The following Message appear:
Could not create user; contact your system administrator
SPML Service error: Error reading request status. Display Help
Contact Person 2000000214 Created Successfully for BP 30000725 Display Help
E-mail was sent
The first error is intriguing. The username & password is created successfully in ABAP System (Our UME is in ABAP).
QUESTIONS:
1. What cause this problem? How to trace the error?
2. We want the user have portal role automatically. How to achieve that?
Thank you for any responses and helps.

Can we import a user list (CSV) into GW to create accounts?

We are needing to add a few hundred new user accounts into GroupWise 2012. Can this be done by importing a user list in the form of a .CSV file or something similar?
Anything would be better than single account creation. Do we need to create a template?
Thanks for any help.

As far as getting the accounts created in edirectory, you typically use an ldap import with an LDIF file, when i've had to bulk create accoutns in edir I normally use a spreadsheet with the accoutn details and a word doc then do a merge to create the required ldif file
however if you already have the accoutns in edirectory, just select your post office object and add the accounts that way and it will create them all for you

Users those who have personal views in a List

Dears,
Anybody can support me to find all the users those who have personal views in a SharePoint 2010 custom list named 'Grades' by using C# coding?
I am the farm administrator/ system account user.
Regards,
I am new to SharePoint

Thanks Subhash Reddy,
After running the given code, its showing me all the personal views under my top site collection.
But I want to see only the personal views of a custom list in a sub site
see my code here
static void Main(string[] args)
GetViews(new SPSite("http://myspserver/"));
static void GetViews(SPSite site)
SPWeb spweb = site.OpenWeb("EN/HR/");
foreach (SPUser oUser in spweb.AllUsers)
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
try
//SPSite oElevSite = new SPSite(site.ID, oUser.UserToken);
SPSite oElevSite = new SPSite(site.ID, spweb.Site.SystemAccount.UserToken);
SPWeb oElevWeb = oElevSite.OpenWeb("EN/HR/");
SPList splist = oElevWeb.Lists["Grades"];
SPViewCollection views = splist.Views;
foreach (SPView view in views)
if (view.PersonalView)
Console.WriteLine(oUser.Name + ":" + view.Title);
Console.ReadLine();
oElevWeb.Dispose();
oElevSite.Dispose();
catch (Exception ex)
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString());
In the above code you can see my custom list named 'Grades' under a sub site '/EN/HR', i want see only the personal views under this list.
Your support is appreciated.

How do I create an auto reply for one person in my buddy list?

I want to be able to have an automatic reply to one person in my buddy list whenever they IM me so that i dont have to reply myself. I dont want to block them but i sometimes want to be able to just avoid them and so does anyone know any applescript that i can run whenever they send me a message??

Hi,
In the Buddy List highlight a Buddy.
Use the CMD and I keys together (Get Info)
This brings up their Info Card.
Select Actions (Same as Alerts in the Preferences In Fact some versions do Read "Alerts" )
Change the top item to Invite (Text)
Select the AppleScript option.
Set the Script to be Auto-Decline.
This will produce no response on the Buddies end.
For that go to the General Section of the Preferences and set the option to "Auto-Reply with my Away Message"
This will then send the Away message to the Buddy set in the first bit but to no--one else.
If you wish to be able to Reply when you have an Available Message up, that is a little more difficult.

SQL Statement ignored performing List of Values query

Hi, New user just learning the basics. I have created a simple table PERSON with columns, ID, firstname, lastname, phone, city, State_ID
Then clicked create Lookup table - State_Lookup with columns State_ID and State_Name.
I create a page, include all columns from PERSON. For State the field is a select list that should do a lookup form the STATE_LOOKUP table. (I have entered 4 states in the table)
I am getting the following error however:
Error: ORA-06550: line 1, column 14: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "STATE_ID": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored performing List of Values query: "select STATE_ID d, STATE_ID v from STATE_ID_LOOKUP order by 1".
I have not entered any sql, just selected all of my options using defaults and dropdowns. What is causing the error and what do I need to change?
Thanks

Okay, learned something: The database link name used, must not contain a dash. The DB_DOMAIN is appended automatically when you create a DB link, so if IT contains a dash, the db link name does as well. Check DBA_DB_LINKS to make sure you don't hit this well-hidden feature.

How to create a search all value on list

I am trying to create a form which will enable user to select
an item on a list to filter records, or allow him to not select
anything and see all records.
I created a generic form with one list on it and a submit
button. Values are:
Item Label Value
Select All-- (I left this blank)
Bicycles--Bicycles
Motorcycles--Motorcycles
Skateboards--Skateboards
My results page seems to be okay. I created a recordset and a
dynamic table. In recordset, the default varable that was created
shows Name: colname
Type: Text
Default value: -1
Runtime Value: $_POST['2']
Problem is that when I select one of the items from the list
on the form (ex. skateboards), my results page shows all records
for skateboards. When I select "Select All" from the list, I don't
receive any records. What can I do to allow user not to enter any
value and have him receive all records?
Thanks in advance....

I found the answer for all of you trying to do the same
thing:
In your "Select All" value, put %
then, select 'contains' instead of = in your filter. That
should do it! Hopefully this helps someone!

Sorting of user list in 'ACT AS' by displayname -OBIEE 11G

Hi,
I have configured 'ACT AS' successfuly in obiee 11g . We have written the following query to populate user name and displayname in the act as drop down .
<getValues>EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL DAA2.DAA2 select USERNAME, DISPLAYNAME from SIEBEL_USERS </getValues>
With this query the list is getting ssorted by USERNAME .
However, our client expects the user list to be populated in the ascending order of the DISPLAYNAME.
I tried modifying the above query as below in the xml file to implement the same .
<getValues>EXECUTE PHYSICAL CONNECTION POOL DAA2.DAA2 select USERNAME, DISPLAYNAME from SIEBEL_USERS Order by 2 desc </getValues>
But the liste is still getting sorted by USERNAME. Could anyone give some pointers to achieve this requirement ?
Regards,
Karan

Thanks Veeravalli, I did exactly the same. Editing the registry didn't help so I deleted the service from registry and create it again and before that added the following in my installSVC file in the section you mentioned
set JAVA_VM=-server
set MEM_ARGS==-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m -XX:-UseSSE42Intrinsics
But it is still not working, I am getting the same error but now it says

one of the things I didn't mention though was that when I create the service, I run the installAdmServer_Service.cmd file as "Run as Administrator", only then the service gets installed. Can this be related to the fact that this windows service needs to be run under admin account? or Run as Administrator? I am guessing because I tried various heap sizes and also edited my setDomainEnv.cmd and commEnv.cmd file to use 1024 as heap size it but still didn't work and it is failing may be while loading the class? If that is the case then how to run this services as administrator? Am I missing anything else?
Thanks,
Ronny

Inactive status - v$session users list over WEB application

Hi all
When user connect through asp or asp.net, we create a connection in the session object. New sid gets created with each session.
When user normally logs out the application, his sid gets finished in the v$session users list. But when he dees not logs out in the normal way as we can not force thousand of users over WEB to log out normally, what will happen to the v$session ?.
1st - We wish to know to know that whether the list will run into thousands of inactive status users OR they automatically gets finished over time. We use the default profile as applicable to new user.
2nd - If the list of inactive status users gets increased to thousands of users which can be possible for the WEB application , there must be some limit fixed by Oracle 8i/ 10g database OR there may be serious performance problems. This simultaneous connection of thousands of users over WEB is easily possible and when connection is created in session object , what could be the scenario. We avoid creating connection object in the application start event to improve performance for the given sesion.
Any help is appreciated.
Suresh bansal

Thanks for prompt reply
1st - Can u give some idea for create connection pools using asp.net environments. Further in the connection pool environment as to how much simultaneous running connections we should need to open and how.
2nd - If we have pool of say 100 connections and there are more number of simultaneous WEB users, what will happen to the application as to whether it gets to hanging /waiting for the pool connection to be free or give error ?.
