'Created by' column in SM37 contains inactive users - audit issue?
Hi,
Most of the jobs in sm37 in our systems have been created by staff who had already left. So under the 'created by' column in SM37 we can see jobs running under users who have been locked/deleted. But it's only the 'created by' column. All the 'steps' run under a system user called 'BATCHUSER', that's why the jobs run fine.
Is it a problem to have inactive users under the 'created by' column in SM37? Is it an audit issue? I've thought that as long as the steps run as a system user then it shouldn't be an audit issue but having discussing about it in my team.
Any comments will be very welcome!
Thank you
Marcia
Yes,
This is purely depends on your org understandness, As in system there won't be any issue as long as the jobs run.
In SAP there is no such way to change the owner (Created by) of background job, we only can change the step owner.
If you feel that there will be an issue, my suggestion is to copy the jobs to BATCHUSER and delete all old jobs created by inactive users.

Nick Loy

Problem with creating virtual column
Hello,
We've got problem with creating virtual column.
There is table R_T that contain columns R_ID and L_ID, we would like to create virtual column RL_ID that contains sth like 'R_ID-L_ID' (R_ID, L_ID and RL_ID are varchars).
According documentation we've tried:
alter table R_T add column (RL_ID varchar2(60) generated always as (R_ID||'-'||L_ID) VIRTUAL)
but getting
ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
00904.00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
Have no idea where is the problem.
Table, columns names are little different but contains only capital letters A - Z and underscore "_".
Has anyone idea?
Thanks a lot.Strange...
This does work for me :

SQL> create table r_t (
2 r_id varchar2(25),
3 l_id varchar2(25)

1 row inserted

Finding Inactive users in 30 minutes.
I use this technique to find iplanet 5.x inactive users.
NOTE: In each mailbox root there is a file store.idx which get update everytime a new message recieved.
find /your/path/to/store/partition/primary/=user -mtime +45 -name store.idx -type f > inactive
this will put all inatcive mailboxes paths which are inactive from last 45 days in a new file "inactive"
the result will similer to
/your/path/to/store/partition/primary/=user/57/21/=aliejaz1/store.idx
then i use these commands to remove useless lines which refer to Sent, Draft and Trash folders.
grep -v Sent inactive > SentRemoved
grep -v Draft SentRemoved > DraftRemoved
grep -v Trash DraftRemoved > TrashRemoved
grep -v + TrashRemoved > CustomFoldersRemoved
Then I also manualy remove all those lines which refer to remaining Custom Folders.
Then by using Find and Replace I replace /your/path/to/store/partition/primary/=user/ with space.
Now it becomes like 57/21/=aliejaz1/store.idx
then I also replace store.idx with space and result become like 57/21/=aliejaz1
Now I replace = with comma i-e , and results become 57/21/,aliejaz1
then I use Excel and open final file as csv.
It will paste 57/21/ in first column and aliejaz1 in second column.
Delete the whole first column.
Now the excel file only contains inactive userids.
That way I found my inactive users.
Good Luck.
Note that if a user still recieving email or spam then it cannot be find this way but there is a chance that his mailbox 100% filled along time ago due to inactivity
I found 90% inactive users by using this mechanism.
For remaining else users check your logs.Hi,
I would highly recommend against other customers using this approach for a few reasons:
1. A 'find' across the entire store can impact the inode-cache and overall disk performance substantially. A better approach would be to parse the "last msg date" out of the output of "./mboxutil -l" or even "./mboxutil -lp user/%/INBOX" if you just cared about the INBOX. This will cater for users who haven't had a new email for 45 days in their INBOX.
2. Doesn't cater for the case where a user is forwarding their email; the mailbox/account is 'active' just that the contents may not have changed.
3. Doesn't cater for accounts that haven't received new email in 45 days but the user is still reading the old emails - reading an email only updates the store.usr file, the store.idx is only changed if the email is deleted/expunged.
4. Doesn't cater for accounts that are used as 'public shared folders' where emails may only be delivered to very occasionally and not deleted.
In MS6.3 there is another mechanism to monitor when a customer last accessed their account; the ./imsconnutil command e.g.
# ./imsconnutil -a -u shjorth
UID IMAP last access HTTP last access POP last access
===================================================================================================

Create new column in BI Admin Tool being HFM the OBIEE data source.
Hi all,
I am developing a BI project using OBIEE 11g 11.1.6.4 and HFM 11.1.2.1. HFM is the data source for OBIEE.
Having the metadata imported in the physical and in the BMM layers, what I want to do is create a new column that will contain a float value. This float value depends on Account dimension, that is, if account name is 'XYZ', in a join of all dimensions, this new column´s value should be the same for all the other accounts in the same join.
I have reached a point that the new column created shows the same number (value) as the logical column 'value' of the fact table, but I don´t know how or where specify which value (the one of the account name 'XYZ') should be for the rest of the new column (where account name is not equal to 'XYZ').
I hope it is understandable, if something is not clear, please ask me.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
BorjaHi,

Error while creating a column in master

How can I create a column to numerically order all the items?
As a first time user of Numbers, I created a table of info which I imported from Address book.
Everything looks good.
I would like to be able to see how many addresses I have on the table.
I looked at the Numbers 08 manual, and went to Preferences, then Auto correction, then -automatically detect lists.
The manual says to choose something on Table Inspector- but I couldn't find it.
I did choose - have Press Return to automatically move to next cell.
I created a column before the first column on my table ( which was last name) and typed 1.
I thought that when I pressed return it would automatically type in 2 and 3 and so on.
But I guess I missed a step.
Any suggestion?Hi Rosie,
It's not clear whether you want to Number the names or Count the names. I'll give you the solution for each.
To number the entries, begin as you have done, typing a "1" in the first cell, and hitting Return. Then type a "2" in the second cell. Now select both cells and grab the little circle in the lower right corner of the selection rectangle, pulling it down to continue the sequence that you have begun typing.
To count the number of entries without numbing them, here is one pretty easy way...
Click on the column label over the last names, which will select the entire column. Then click on the Function Icon on the Toolbar and select Count. This will insert a Footer Row in your Table, and will display the number "0". The zero count is because you have no numbers values in the column. To edit the function to display the count of text items, Names, we need to edit the Function from COUNT to COUNTA. Just click on the footer cell to select it, then click in the Formula Bar, just above the Column Labels, and place your text cursor behind the "T" in COUNT and type an "A". Then hit Return. Now your new footer cell will show your count of names.
Post back if you have questions.

"Created By" Column is showing empty in SharePoint List
Hello All,
I have created a custom list and enabled the "Created By" and "Created" Column to be shown in the list.
All the users are able to see the "Created" Column populated, but the "Created By" column is blank, no value is populated to it.
But the Farm Administrator is able to see the values for "Created By" column in the List. I tried providing full control to the Users, provided all permissions, but still the users are unable to see this column populated. I have no clues what to
be done.
So I tried a workaround specified in the forum ie., by using a column with calculated value =[Me]. But this gives the login name and not the Proper name, which is not helpful for me. I just want a column which displays who created the item.
Please help me regarding this issue.
Thanks,
ShankyHi Alex,
Yes, I have checked them too.
1. This is happening with all lists, as I have modified the permission for the users to the lists only to :
Add Items
View Items
Open Items
View application Pages
View Pages
Open
This is to make sure that the users wont modify the list or delete it or its items.
2. This is happening with all the items in the list, not only for other people's items but also for current user's item as well. -
Created by column in sharepoint 2010
we have 5 different site list that uses the created by column to help us identify who created what. for some reasons one of the site list is showing system account in the created by column and not sure how it was changed to this?
all other list are showing the correct user who created each entry
any ideas?Have you migrated one of the lists via the content and structure feature from elsewhere within the site collection?
This may have led to the creation of these items under the system account.

Creating new column in existing pdf doc
I am trying to add a new column with some CFif content into a pdf doc that is already created. the original pdf doc contains a table PropertyDetails_T with columns such as 1st column : 'customer name' 2nd col : 'no. of. vehicles' 3rd column : 'area of farmland'. I have to insert a new column between 1st and 2nd.
i am using dreamweaver. in design mode i inserted columns to right of 1st column and added the column name "area of property".
Next i include CFif lines in code mode as given below :
<cfif getPropertyDetails_T.areaofProperty NOT EQUAL "">
<td> #NumberFormat (getPropertyDetails_T.areaofProperty,"_______.__")#</td>
<cfelse>
<td>0.00</td>
</cfif>
but after writing these lines and saving, the table in design mode has been messed up. i see that CFif content of 'no.of vehicles' has been moved to the next column 'area of farmland'. i have the new Cfif content - <cfif getPropertyDetails_T.areaofProperty NOT EQUAL "">
<td> #NumberFormat (getPropertyDetails_T.areaofProperty,"_______.__")#</td>
where it should be that is 'area of property' column.
But i see that value '0.00' has been diplayed below the column 'no.of vehicles' instead of the CFif content that was previously added to it and is now pushed to next column.
does anyone have pointers as to how i could correctly apply indentation or code it right to align the right column to the right CFif contents.
thnx,
sachinpoldear john.

How to create hidden column in Oracle Table
Hi folks
i have one doubt regarding hidden column creation in Oracle Table..
Let me briefly explain my requirements.
I have one table called UWRMC_MAST is table contain the following columns
RMC_N_ID NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
COB_N_ID NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
SUBCOB_N_ID NUMBER(2),
RMC_C_CODE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE) NOT NULL,
RMC_C_NAME VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) NOT NULL,

MODIFIED_D_DT DATE NOT NULL,
RECORD_N_STS NUMBER(1) NOT NULL,
RMC_C_REMARKS VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
EFFECT_D_DT DATE NOT NULL
RMC_N_ID is primary key
i want to create one column like Old_EFFECT_D_DT as virtual column
when ever i update the effective date that date should be insert into Old_EFFECT_D_DT i.e., Virtual Column
For example
SQL> select RMC_N_ID, COB_N_ID, SUBCOB_N_ID, RMC_C_CODE, EFFECT_D_DT from uwrmc_mast;
RMC_N_ID COB_N_ID SUBCOB_N_ID RMC_C_CODE EFFECT_D_
46 1 74 PCTMOTR 02-FEB-11
Below i update the effective date(01-feb-2011
SQL> update uwrmc_mast
2 set EFFECT_D_DT = '01-apr-2011'
3 where rmc_n_id =46;
1 row updated.
But i want a result like below
SQL> select RMC_N_ID, COB_N_ID, SUBCOB_N_ID, RMC_C_CODE, EFFECT_D_DT from uwrmc_mast;
RMC_N_ID COB_N_ID SUBCOB_N_ID RMC_C_CODE EFFECT_D_ OLD_EFFE
46 1 74 PCTMOTR 01-APR-11 02-FEB-11Is this possible to do in oracle , kindly give a solution for my requirement

Regards,
ArunWell, I'm not sure exactly what your requirement is.
If you want to audit changes to the records of that table then it would be better to use Oracle's auditing facility. If this previous change date is really a required part of your actual application functionality then you might use the application itself to maintain the previous date as a column in the table, as you say, or if you need to maintain the history of changes then add a new table so you can keep track of multiple changes.
