Creation of Project Profile & Network Profile

Hi Experts,
I am new to PS. We have a customer project which has two company codes.
Company 1 has three plants and company 2 has one plant. Our client will use PS for new product development projects. That new product will be developed in a single plant itself. Each plant is dedicated to one kind of product development only.
Please let me know how many project profiles & network profiles have to be created for this scenario.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir

Hi Virendra,
Thank you for the reply.
In our case, by New product development project, my client means that they will develop a new product for their customers based on the new specifications & designs. For example, an auto component.
The client also wants to do the billing. So we will take it as a customer project here. We will have WBS for Design, Production, Delivery etc...with activities in it. In such case, is one project profile & one network profile sufficient ? Please suggest.
Thanks
Kabir

Validation of Network Profile against Project Profile

Hi,
I would like to monitor the creation of Networks with regard to the Project Profile, based on the Network Profile, so that when a Network is created with Profile "ZCN00", for example,it could be saved only if the Project Profile is "ZPS000" (taken from the Project Definition to which the Network is assigned).
I have used Validation/Substitution for similar logic regarding WBS elements against Project definition, but I cannot use Validation/Substitution for Network Header for this purpose because the Project Profile is not accessible in the Data for this Validation.
I have also tried Validation/Substitution in "Consistency check project structure" where all data is accessible - but validations here cannot be assigned in customizing to various profiles (Project/Network); as stated in thread "Validation for Proj. structure" in this forum, these can be activated using transactions CNC4, CNC5.
This does not solve my problem because I need to PREVENT the creation of a Network in the "wrong" Project - and not to trace the inconsistency AFTER the network has been created.
Is there a way to use the Consistency check project structure for my need without any other means, or do I have to use one of the exits provided in that tool?
Thanks in advance,
Eytan.

Dear Sam,
Thank you for your reply.
In our work processes, there is a main function who creates and manages the Project Structure, excluding Networks, and in many cases, certain people may work on several different projects where they create networks, so I cannot limit their authorization to specific profiles, be it Project definitions or networks.
I know my issue can easily be solved by a simple development (like the Badi suggested in Virendra's message)- but I want to make sure I have covered the possibilities in the standard system - specifically VSR - before I go there.
Regards,
Eytan.

Project Profile & Budget Profile

Hi Experts
If i want to copy a Project Profile , is it required to create a new Budgeting profile or the same profile will be updated in New one?
regards
pallavi

you can copy new project profile via OPSA txn--> select the profile which you wanted to copy --> F6 --> give the different name there.
The same way you can copy the profject profile via txn OPS9.
By not defining Budget profile in the your project profile you will be able to selet the budget profile while creation of project.

How do I use the address book feature which allows you to connect your contacts to their social networking profiles? (in Lion)

When I look up the 250+ new features of Mac OSX Lion, under address book, there's a new feature that interests me.
"Address Book lets you quickly access the social network profiles for your contacts, including Facebook. Press and hold an email address to select the appropriate profile."
Somehow I can't get it to work. What do I do?

Make sure it's on the Template (see the entry for Twitter):
Then update the contact with the relevant info.
For Twitter you can then click and hold the Twitter tag to either View Profile or Send Tweet.

Cry for help: a decent network profile manager

Am I the only one that finds the default arch linux network profile management a bit.. lacking? Maybe I just don't have it set up right, but it only works for my ethernet connection and connecting to non-encrypted wireless networks. Problem is, I run WPA2-AES networks at home and at work. I finally got wpa_supplicant properly set up (I'm on wireless right now), but I can't just select the network profile from the menu and be on my way.
Here is what I have to do to get connected right now:
[root@cdl-magnesium chris]# wpa_supplicant -dw -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dmadwifi -iath0
[root@cdl-magnesium chris]# dhcpcd ath0
and I'm connected, everything working great. That's fairly simple, right? I'm thinking my network profile has a lot more in it than necessary.
# Network Profile
DESCRIPTION="57 May"
# Network Settings
INTERFACE=ath0
#HOSTNAME=myhost
# Interface Settings (use IFOPTS="dhcp" for DHCP)
IFOPTS="dhcp"
#GATEWAY=192.168.0.1
# DNS Settings (optional)
#DOMAIN=localdomain
#DNS1=192.168.0.1
#DNS2=
# Wireless Settings (optional)
ESSID="Galactica"
#KEY=
#IWOPTS="mode managed essid $ESSID channel 6 key restricted $KEY"
WIFI_INTERFACE=wifi0 # use this if you have a special wireless interface
# that is linked to the real $INTERFACE
WIFI_WAIT=5 # seconds to wait for the wireless card to
# associate before bringing the interface up
USEWPA="yes" # start wpa_supplicant with the profile
WPAOPTS="-D madwifi" # use "" for normal operation or specify additional
# options (eg, "-D ipw")
# see /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf for configuration
#AUTOWPA="yes" # automatically configure WPA
If I do a /etc/rc.d/network restart and select the profile from the menu, I get all sorts of errors about not being able to connect to wpa_supplicant (because for some reason it isn't running.. was I supposed to do something about that?).
I'm a bit tired right now so pardon any incomprehensible sentences or questions
ps: while we're on the subject, is there a way to re-sort the items in the network profile list? It always wants to connect to this broken wpa2 profile first, as I think it just goes in alphabetic order or somethin. I guess I should just turn off the timeout so it always waits for me to choose.

i'm working on one.

Network profile and Internet sharing

Hi,
In the network System preference applet there is the possibility to create network profiles for different environement, ex: Home, work, etc.
In sharing preferences includes the Internet sharing as well.
Is it possible to attach a Network profile to an Internet sharing configuration?
What I'm trying to do is to have an Internet sharing profile when I want to share my Airport card in ad-hoc mode (to share with my Newton), but when I'm finished, I do want to switch back to the normal Airport operation so I can use my PB in wireless mode.
So, I need a way to bind the 2 together without having to reconfigure all my network preferences all the time.
Thanks

Hi,
What you suggested, is exactly what I've been trying and is not working.
I think your mistaken:
Location are great to create new network profiles, true. You can't access them from the Airport menu, but from the Apple menu in the submenu location.
The problem is that this does not include the Internet sharing preferences, located into the Sharing preferences pane. So, switching location does not switch Internet sharing preferences. You have to disable and enable them each time.
So, that's not the solution I'm searching for, unless you know some way to bind the 2 seting into a location.
Thanks

Windows Deployment Service. Network Profile Radio Buttons greyed out with R2

Hi All
I have downloaded and setup Server 2008 R2 (not yet activated). I have added the following roles "DHCP Server", "DNS Server", "Active Directory Domain Services" and "Windows Deployment Services". I can PXE boot a test client machine and (using the boot.win from windows 7 dvd) multicast a XP Image to it. This setup is connected via a 100 Mb switch and is an isolated network.
Under windows deployment services - if I right click my server - select properties - network tab "Network Profile is greyed out". I have tried running wdsutil /Set-TransportServer /Server:big /Profile:100Mbps but get the following error message: "Windows Deployment Services Management Utility Version 6.1.7600.16385. Error code 0xC110011F This WDS transport server does not support network profiles.
I have tried this on two hardware setups:
An Intel D915GUX 3GHz 2GB RAM and Marvel Yukon 88E8050 ethernet controller.
An Intel D965 Core2Duo 1.86GHz 2GB RAM and Intel 82566DM Network controller.
Incidently I have done the same setup with Server 2008 (not R2) on the D965 and the Network Profile radio buttons are not greyed out. If I upgrade the same test machine to server 2008 R2 the Network Profile radio buttons are greyed out. Is this a design change, does Server 2008 R2 no longer support network profiles as I am now unable to select 10 100 or 1000 Mbs ?
If more information is required or if anything needs further detail please let me know.
Thanks for any help.

Is there any way at all to manually set or control the network profile? In my environment, a SCCM\WDS multicast stream is bottoming out on speed and network utilization when the stream crosses a Nexus 7009 router. Speeds go from 200 Mbps to 20 mbps. I have
a theory that this "new" automatic configuration is placing the clients in a slow network profile that are on the opposite side of the router and I have been unable to find a way to speed of the transmission. I have also ruled out the "master
client" slowing down the stream buy using different clients only connecting to a stream 1 at a time. I have also ruled out the router as the source of the problem by having a VLC client listen to the multicast stream on the same side of the router as
the slow clients. The VLC client (unknown to SCCM\WDS) was able to receive the transmissions at 20 % utilization / 200 Mbps.

5800 XM WPA-PSK and network profiles problem

Hi,
I've just purchased a 5800XM phone, with the idea of setting up my personal email account on the device, using my office's network access point.
The access point / router is a Comtrend 5361. The SSID is set to hidden (no broadcast), and the security is set to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key).
On the Nokia phone I go to 'Settings -> Connectivity -> Wireless LAN' and choose 'Other (hidden netw.)'.
Then I choose 'Connect', set the WLAN network name, the phone shows a message 'No WLAN network found', but then prompts to choose network mode (Infrastructure - Hidden), and then password. It connects succesfully and asks for storing the network profile under offline mode, I tell it to do so, and the new profile appears under 'Network destinations -> Internet'. So until now everything seems ok.
The problem is that after the phone disconnects from the internet, the stored profile seems to be useless, since the phone never connects automatically even if the AP is available and always shows 'Search for WLAN'. In the list the hidden access point never shows up so the only choice is repeating the steps that I mentioned above, creating a new profile every time I want to surt the net.
Is there a solution to this, or a third party software that can do the trick?, I have OS V21.0.25, custom version 21.0.025.219.06 from Vodafone, no updates available as of today, but I've tested it with a phone that has the latest OS v30 and it shows the same behavior.
I can't change the access point settings, so I must stick to WPA and hidden SSID, so for me this is almost a deal breaker.

Ok, I was testing the wifi part without a sim card inserted, with a sim, the phone connects to the profile properly, but without the sim it has an odd behavior, not loading the profile and wrongly stating that it can't connect when it does (but disconnects randomly).
So the problem is that wireless lan management doesn't work properly without a sim card.

Network-profiles (1) and /etc/hosts

Hi everyone,
i've got a few network-profiles, especially in one network I have to use a static ip to connect to the internet. The only entry in the /etc/hosts which works correctly - without any error messages - for me, is
192.168.0.99 localhost.localdomain myhost
If I use something like 127.0.0.1 in front and simply add my hostname at the end, I can't connect with the Inet, unfortunately. I did not test it, but I'm pretty sure, that this host configuration won't work in any other network, where I get a dynamic IP from the DHCP. Is there a possibility to write the content of the /etc/hosts with netcfg, like the /etc/resolv.conf for example?
MfG Skit

Because you didn't specify what localhost was in your hosts file. It only knows of localhost.localdomain(does not imply 'localhost') and acer being the loopback.
I think he understood that.
'localhost' is universally understood as the loopback.
this is some kind of 'magic' answer isn't it? the resolving doesn't come out as a miracle... and that is IMHO what needs explanation.
his computer alone doesn't (obviously) get it because sure, it's not set. now what 'magic' makes it known when a cable is plugged in? the computer tries to reslove locally (via /etc/hosts), fails at it, and then asks the dns server about it. so I reckon the dns server is instructed on replying '127.0.0.1' for a 'localhost' hostname request. why so? because dns servers have an option to look at their local /etc/host for resolving before delegating to bigger servers, so the dns server certainly has localhost matching 127.0.0.1 in his /etc/host, and blindly replies accordingly, oblivious to the fact that he is replying about his 'own' 127.0.0.1 to someone else.

Question Marks in Dock on users network profiles

Hello everyone,
I have a problem where my user's network profiles have question marks in their docks.
I am running OS 10.4.10 Server on a MacPro with 6 Intel iMacs all running 10.4.10. When I installed the iMacs I used CarbonCopyCloner so all the software is identical. The disk names are the same and all Applications are the same.
When a user works on one of the iMacs and then moves to a different iMac they seem to loose the icons for their applications in the dock, when you click on the icon usually the application will launch and regenerate the icon. Somtimes and mostly with Indesign the icon will become an alias to a folder within the .app!
This is strange behavior! And it does it on around 10 user logins!
Has anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks,
David Lee

I've had similar experiences to many here. Running Tiger server with Tiger clients. Everything was hunky-dory until 10.4.10 update came out. Then I experienced all types of strange dock problems. Not only would I get docks with question marks, some items would have an icon but it would be the wrong one and the bad icons didn't point to the original applications.
This article shed some light on the subject:
http://benkreeger.com/blog/2007/09/mac-os-x-10410-breaks-dock-app.html
After reading this article and running some tests, I've given up on managing the dock from WGM.
Here is what I did:
Made the perfect dock. Then edited the plist with a plist editor and got rid of _CFURLAliasData key/string for each application. I then copied this edited plist to the User Template of all clients with ARD. I also copied it to the User Template on the server. Finally I wrote a script that replaced the dock plist with the "new and improved" dock for each user inside of the network homes directory.
Since then, no ? ? ? in dock. No bad icons either. And when a new user is created they get a good dock as well.
Hopefully Leopard won't find a way to mess this up.

May I start more than one interface at boot using network profiles ?

Hi everybody,
I installed ArchLinux on my laptop and I was playing with network profiles to obtain different configurations of the ethernet and wireless interfaces for home, office etc. Everything works fine using "!" in from of each configuration name in /etc/rc.conf and I found useful the menu option.
As far as I understood each configuration file in /etc/network-profiles/ correspond to one interface only, therefore this utility does not allow me to start more than one interface at boot time. Am I right?
In this case it exist already a script to choose between different configuration for two interfaces?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the Apple Community da dad.
Yes you can connect multiple Apple TV's by ethernet.
What do you mean by outside.

Cost element for materials in network profile

Dear All,
Want to use material planning field in internal activity under assignment tab. But I have the following queries
What is the cost element that I have to mention in network profile under internal activity?
If I mention the cost element in network profile and plan my internal activity in initial stage and later on if I assign material to internal activity will the Plan cost of that internal activity increases by the material added to that activity.
3. under OBYC materials have different cost elements based upon valuation class. so how the planned vs actuals will be show in the report.
Regards
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
See my replies below.
1 a & B: You are planning Qty on NWA and capturing costs - labor & Equipment on NWA elements.
When you are having elaborated to NWA-Element level, split your total work on each NWA-element and post labor cost. Thus you will have planned Vs actual costs at one place.
coming to equipment cost - are you capturing using PO through GR?.
2.a : Option1- create a separate WBS elements for materials and plan cost at WBS level. That value would be your total planned cost of material procurement as estimated. Under this WBS elements create NWAs and assign the materials. With this set up you can assign material and procure so that will have actual costs coming from GR.
Option 2: Create a one General Cost activity and assign the total planned cost of material on this NWA.
When you assign the material components, diligently you have to reduce the equivalent amount from the general costs activity. Also note that on component screen, you have to check box "Cost relevant" so that material cost will add to Cost NWA. Let the different materials have their own valuation class and have default CEs accordingly. that would not be big issue.
Please discuss with your MM team to get more information. Also my suggestion is to leave blank CE field in configuration.
The option2 is very cumbersome and high risk but one have to be very cautious to reduce the value from Cost NWA in order to sustain the planned material costs whenever they added.
3. I have answered the relevance of Cost relevance check box in above.
Hope above makes sense.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

BUG: Access Connect Abort, when I create a new network profile.

Where can I report bugs?
My system is windows xp sp2 on X60.
I have been using AC-4.42(Access Connection) for a long time. And before, there is no problem when I added new network profile into it.
But yesterday, I wanted to add a new profile into it. I opened the "create profile" window and input the name of the new profile (I have two network adapters, wired and wireless. So by default, the both are selected. And I left the default selection unchanged.), then "Next". The 2nd window is about wireless config, I configured everything, then go on "Next", at this moment, an error occured and AC aborted with four error windows. The titles of those windows are "ACMainGUI.exe error" and "ACMainGUIWnd: ACMainGUI.exe".
Then I did it again, I opened the "create profile" window, and this time, in this (1st) window, I changed the selection of network adapter, besides inputing the name of the new profile. I only selected the wired adapter, and then "Next". Sadly, this time the 2nd(next) window did not appear(pop up) at all. Instead, those four error windows poped up one by one. AC aborted again.
I repeated the above operations many times, and everytime, AC aborted.
So I went to the online "support and download" to look for some updates about AC. And I found AC-4.52 with luck. After downloading and installing, unfortunately the problem still exists. AC-4.52 still aborts when I create a new network profile.
So now, what to do. I have no ways. I am expecting the developers could note this problem and fix it and give me a newer update as soon as possible.
Sigh...

I have exactly the same issue. Next to the actions mentioned by ixbm I have also fully uninstalled and reinstalled the AC-4.52, but this didn't help.
Any idea on how to solve, installing older version?
regards,
Bart

Access Connections and Group Policy generated network profiles

Hello,
We are in the middle of rolling out 3500 T400 machines and are having fits with Access Connections 5.02. We have a default in-house Preferred Wireless Network Profile that is created on each machine via Group Policy. This works fine with AC and everything does what is supposed to do when our users are in our buildings. When our users go offsite, we have nothing but fits with AC and trying to set up any other WAN connections.
If users set up a new network connection, we are asking them to set it up thru AC. We have had them try using both the "Use Windows to Configure Wireless Network" as well as "IEEE 802.1X Authentication". Once the network connection is set up, for some, the wireless will work for a short period (a week or so) and then will no longer detect network connections. The user nor the client site has made any changes to the wireless configuration.
Others will have a stable connection wirelessly until they connect over VPN – VPN will drop in a few minutes after connection. They can then sometimes reconnect after a reboot; but the instability is a constant problem.
It seems to me that the problem could all be traced back to GP enforcement, which occurs every 8 hours when connected to our network. If a user is offline for several days, then connects up to check email or transfer time or whatever, then they are kicked off. If a user connects via VPN, they are kicked off within minutes - again potentially traceable to GP enforcement.
Has anyone else dealt with this scenario of Preferred Wireless Network policies and Access Connections?
Thanks!

Try going back to AC 4.52, which solved the problems i was having with AC5.02 (freezes, BSOD, loss of wireless connections when coming out of standby, GUI problems) on Vista Home Premium. Scroll down for prevous versions of AC5.02 here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-67283
I do not use a VPN system so AC4.52 may not help your 3500 Thinkpads.
Lenovo (Mark_Lenovo) knows there are problems with AC5.02 for the last three (or more ) months and have stated that AC 5.1 will solve the problems, but it has not been released as far as I know. There are many threads on AC5.02 on this forum and also on thinkpads.com
the Lenovo Blog site also has an update on AC5.02 ;under "Design Matters" on how they selected the graphics for wireless connections - the responses there offer some suggestions to fix the problems.
