Create New folder options is not coming in OBIEE 11G.

Hello Everyone,
I am testing Authorization part of the dashboard rite-now and issue is like I am not able to Create any New Folder within My Folder for Catalog.
I gave my self Read, Traverse Access to dashboard and Reports that are stored in Shared Folder, now I want to use Shared folder's Reports and want to create My Dashboard. but even I am not able to Create My Dashboard too because I can't save any reports in My Folder.
I checked with Manage Privileges options too, where I gave access to any Authenticated Users to create Personal Storage (My Folders and My Dashboard) , Create Folders , Save Customizations ..
if there any other change that i need to do???
Thanking you..

Hi Veer,
Yes, I just tested this thing out in 11.1.1.5. Please find more details below.
1. I create a sample 'BIConsumer' user.
2. Logged into the BI Server.
3. Navigated to Catalog and clicked on New
4. I could get only two options 'Report Job' and 'Action Intelligence'.
To provide proper privileges,
1. Logged into BI Server as BIAdministrator.
2. Navigated to Administration -> Manage Privileges -> Catalog/
3. Given explicit permissions to 'BIConsumer' to create folders and 'My folders and Dashboard'.
To verify,
1. Logged back to BI Server as 'BIConsumer' user.
2. Now, in the catalog could see 'New Folder' option under 'My folders'
For further analysis, can you please check which roles this particular user is having? You can click on username at the top right corner -> My Account->Roles and Catalog Groups.
Thank you,
Dhar

Disabling JFileChooser's rename and create new folder options

Thanx in advance.
Can anybody guide me as to how to disable the following in JFileChooser :
1. tool bar buttons where the user can create a new folder.
2. Renaming a file

Create New Folder Option

Sorry for a simple question. Can't seem to find the answer in "search."
When I create a new folder, it always defaults to the root directory and I must drag and drop it to the directory I want it in, essentially creating a sub directory. I imagine I'm missing something here and should be able to create a new folder in any directory/sub directory I need, correct?
Thanks in advance!

Open a finder window, select: view > customize toolbar, a sub window with a
set of buttons appears. Point to each button to see an explanation of what it does. You can do any of the following:
Add a button: Drag it to the toolbar.
#add the new folder button to the toolbar, now you may create a new folder at will in whatever
folder you are viewing at the time.#
Add space between buttons: Drag Separator, Space, or Flexible Space to the toolbar.
Return to default toolbar: Drag the default set to the toolbar.
After making modifications click "Done"

Please help.It happens only on few sub sites

Hi V_K04,
You said that it happened only on few sub sites, whether this issue occurred on some subsites, and some subsite worked well.
Please check whether there are some differences between the subsites that worked well and the problematic subsites.
Whether this issue occurred on all libraries and lists on problematic subsites.
Whether there are some customizations in these problematic libraries and lists.
Please create a new library and a new list, test again, compare the result.
BestRegards,

HT2476 Why when clicking the right mouse button for my external hard drive there is no option for "create new folder"?

Hi there. I'm having a problem with my external hard drive. Actually with only one of them (others seem to be ok...). The problem is that when clicking the right mouse button (or using other ways to do the same), in the drop-down list there isn't an option for "create new folder". Please, can anyone help with this issue?

The drive is NTFS formated. Most probably that's the reason, but there is some info on the drive which I wouldn't like to loose. If there is a way to re-format the drive and save the files, that would be great. If there isn't such a way, then please, tell me how to re-format it. But bear in mind as well that I'm using Parellels and the drive is to be used in Mac and Win modes, both. Just to add some more info: my other drive is FAT32 formated and all seems to go well with it.

Creating new folder in sharepoint

Hi - I am using Office 2013 and using the "Save as" function in Word want to create a new folder on the SharePoint site. there does not seem to be any way to do this through the "save as" dialog process. The "new folder" option
only seems to be available for saving on the local hard drive. It seems I need to go into file explorer, create a new folder and then go back into Word to save to it.
Thanks - Tim

Hi,
A quick hack for this if you use the same document library over and over is to map a network drive to the library, then when you save to the network drive (and thus the document library) you'll see the new folder option available and working.
A second method, would be to click on the address bar in the save as dialog, remove the "http:" and change "/" to "\". For instance:
http://mysite/personal/iedaddy
would become
\\mysite\personal\iedaddy
and then magically the Organize and New Folder menu bar appears, interestingly this method will also allow you to add new folders even to libaries with the "New Folder" option explicitly turned off.

Where is my New Folder option?

I bought and dowloaded Lion, but I noticed that I can no longer select New Folder in the Finder File Menu. The only option I can select is New Smart Folder. Does anyone know why this change occurred and how I can create a New Folder that is not a Smart Folder?
Thanks,
Kelly Grace

Thanks ckuan.
I found my 'operator error'. I hadn't noticed that when I opened Finder it automatically opens at the top of the list which now is headed by All My Files instead of Desktop. As soon as I selected Desktop the New Folder option became available.
I'm not sure, but I think the change in my Favorites List is a result of Lion as I don't recall seeing All My Files or Air Drop in the list previously.
Thanks for the shortcut.

How to remove 'Create new employee' option for a scenario in org modelling?

Hi Luke,
We want to remove 'create new employee' option that appears under 'actions' in details panel for a position in scenario (for org chart).
I checked in linkconfiguration folder for position, but it doesn't show this option to be disabled. I also checked detailspresentationconfiguration folder but no luck. I am assuming, it must be pretty different to achieve this for a scenario object.
Please help!
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
I'm not entirely sure this can be changed. It doesn't appear to be controlled through configuration or XSL. My guess is it is hard-coded.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Best regards,
Luke

No "New Folder" option under FILE. hard drive transfer ? too

I want to organize my albums into folders so the source list isn't so long. The iPhoto help area says to click on File>New Folder. I have no such option (shaded or otherwise). Then I attempted to make a new folder in Finder & drag it over. It drags, but then does not appear anywhere. Help?!? Where is my "new folder option"? IS there a chance I did soemthing to it in the past unknowingly. I didn't see New Folder as a short cut option either.
A little off topic, but if I save my harddrive to a second freestanding OWC harddrive thing, can I just transfer all of my data this way?

Lymbo,
Go ahead and create your new folder in finder (File>New Folder), then just leave it on your desktop.
In iPhoto, highlight the photos or Rolls you want to export, choose File>Export, and in the drop down menu choose File Export, select your Format, and click Export.
In the new Drop Down, called Export Photos, select Desktop from the "Where" menu, and click 'OK'.
Your highlighted photo(s) will be copied to your Desktop, and you can then drag them into your new folder.
Your origionals will still be in iPhoto; you can delete them if you want.

UCM - WEBDAV - How to Disable the New Folder option in the action popup

I am trying to implement WebDav functionality. I don't want the users to create folders in the folder mapped to a security group. As long as the user has privilege to contribute to the security group he/she can checkin documents but they should not be able to create folder under it. I did not find documentation as to how to disable the new folder option in the context action menu that pops up on mouse right click. Is there any way we can do that?
Thanx.

This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to networks in general. It is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe:
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
Working across a network in general is not supported by Adobe.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

Access Denied for creating new folder

Hi friends,
When i tried to create a new folder under shared folders in catalog as a weblogic user, i couldnt get a option for creating new folder. But i have that option enabled in the My folders area.
Im not sure why the create folder option is not enabled for the weblogic user in the shared folders.
Im on OBIEE 11.1.1.7 and for a workaround i referred the below link
https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2520389
But i followed the steps mentioned in the above link, but not succeeded still facing the same create folder privilege issue under the shared folders for the weblogic user.
Kindly suggest me your approach for solving this issue.
Thanks
Regards,
Saro

Hari,
Restart the services (weblogic and BI) you should see it I have observed same kind of behavior in 11.1.1.7.0 (Admin tab missing and No Permissions icon for weblogic user) dont know exact reason
Restart is not a solution but will see if you are able to see or not

Your instructions for creating new bookmark folders do not work on my computer.

I have followed your instructions to the letter for Making new bookmark folders. But, when I hold down the "Ctrl" key on the Mac while clicking on the folder which will contain the new folder, I do not get a "New Folder" option to select. Instead, the window defaults into the regular Google window where I would type in a word or words to search for something on the web. Therefore, no new folder window appears for me to type in the name I want to create for the folder. What am I doing wrong?

if your Air had died from lack of power, and since then ALL remaining power drained, then you may encounter a fault at charge.
Sounds as if you have the correct charger, but no indication of charging or any powering on.
Contact Apple for in shop diagnosis about your incapacity to charge your Air,...and I assume also inability to power on your unit.
