Current user in SBO SDK

Using vb.net in Business One SDK is there a variable from which the user internal-key can be established ?

Hi Barry,
There is a Company object in the UI API as well as the DI API. In the UI API, the company object has a UserName property which returns the USERID value from the OUSR table.
Dim oCompany As SAPbouiCOM.Company = SBO_Application.Company
Dim sUserName = oCompany.UserName
Kind Regards,
Owen

How to extract current user SQL password from SAP

I have an external exe that needs to connect via ADO to the currently running SAP application using the current user.
I used the SAPbobsCOM.Company object to extract the
CompanyDB , Server ,DbUserName and Password to create my ADO connection string. But obviously the password is encrypted and (when I debug.print gives me ****) is not useful.
Does anyone know how to get this password through the SDK?
Thanks,
Indika.

Hi,
I've already asked about it. No way. Simply forget.
You can ask for password for the first time and store it in the database or in the registry.
Regards,
Mark

Agentry - Filter by Current User Name in SQL Step

I'm currently developing an Agentry application that connects to an Oracle back end. I would like to filter by the current user's name in a SQL step that connects to the Oracle database. What's the best way to do this?

See:
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?docset=/com.sybase.infocenter.pubs.docset-SMP-SDK-3.0.2/doc/html/title.html&docSetID=2021
<<user.name>>
Returns the name of the client user. By default this will be the ID entered by the user to log into the client. This value may be overridden.
<<user.agentryID>>
Returns the user ID entered to log into the Agentry Client. This value cannot be overriden during synchronization.

Accessing the current User code

In order to find out who the current user is, we used to (in SQL 2000) use $[user]. However, this does not appear to work when the database is SQL 2005. Does anyone know of a solution to this? (Our current objective is to create a log file showing changes to the price lists, as there is not standard audit trail in SBO so any advice in this regard much appreciated).

I believe you are talking about using the $[USER] from within SBO.
The $[USER] should work regardless of the SQL Server version. To record the Pricelist change as and when it happen would have to be done using the SBO_TransactionNotification Stored procedure provided by SBO to trigger action when on certain event.

Query Manager and Current User

Good day everyone,
Please forgive my ignorance regarding using the Query Manager syntax, but I was wondering :
1. If there is any specific documentation (official or not) that would explain all the specific issues raised when dealing with this tools (variables, parameters etc)
2. If not - if any of you guys knew a way to use the current logged on user in a query -- I found materials regarding the $[USER] but I was unable to achieve to any result in Query Manager.
Thank you for your assistance

Hi,
1) Yes, SAP provide a 'How To' document for formatted searches that includes most of what you need to know (it should be in the Document Resource Center in the Channel Partner Portal and is called 'How to Define and Use Formatted Searches). There are a few unofficial tricks that appear on various threads here on the SDN (eg how to get around the issue of SBO not correctly defining a parameter on complex queries).
2) The following query will return the name of the current user:
SELECT T0.u_name FROM OUSR T0 WHERE T0.internal_k = $[USER]
Strangely, this doesn't work on my 2007A preview build but does work on 2005A SP1.
Kind Regards,
Owen

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

How can I filter a Sharepoint 2007 libarry list based on current user login?

Hi all.
I would like to know how I can filter a SharePoint library list based on current user login.
Suppose I have created the followings:
1) A SharePoint form library containing bunch of uploaded InfoPath form data.
2) The InfoPath form template contains a promoted text field called "TargetUser" to store user domain login (ex: DOMAIN\JOE) and every InfoPath form file in the library has a valid domain name stored in the "TargetUser" field.
I have created a custom view for the form library and would like to filter this view so only items whose "TargetUser" field matches current user's login ID are displayed.
I went to Edit View page to customize the view and tried to use the [Me] function but I got a "Filter value is not a valid text string" message instead when clicking OK. Apparently [Me] returns a Person/Group data type and the filter cannot compare its value
to that of "TargetUser".
I tried using text functions (ex: TEXT([Me],"") hoping to extract default string value from [Me]. The filter accepts the parameter without any error but the resulting fitlered list does not display any items at all.
I have googled this subject for hours but I have not found any solution.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me to create a functional filtered list.
FYI, my SharePoint 2007 installation is just WSS 3.0 + Form Server. I do not have MOSS 2007 (so no MOSS 2007 web parts or web services).
Thank you.
Jason

Here's what I usually do in order to accomplish this. Ultimately you'll need to have 2 different fields. There's the one you already have, with DOMAIN\username stored in it. Then you'll need an additional field as a "person" column type.
Call it "TargetPerson" or something.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow that runs each time an item is created or changed. One action:
Set FIELD to VALUE.
The first FIELD is "TargetPerson", the VALUE is your "TargetUser" field.
Once this is done, then the person value is stored in the person field. This is the field that you can filter by "TargetPerson" is equal to [Me]

Unable to use Datasource.cfc in Admin API - The current user is not authorized to invoke this method

Hi Everyone,
I am having some issues accessing the methods in the datasource.cfc in the adminAPI.
I can successfully load the administrator CFC and am told that I have successsfuly logged in;
But when I try to subsequently load the datasource.cfc I get an error that the current user is unable to access the method.
/* Create an Admin API object and call the login method */
 var local = {};
 local.adminObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.administrator");
 /* Enter your password for the CF Admin */
/* if you dump this - TRUE is returned */
 local.adminObj.login(adminPassword="my_admin_user_password");
 /* Create an object of datasource component */
 local.dsnObj = createObject("component", "cfide.adminapi.datasource");
writeDump(local.dsnObj.getDataSources());
I tried creating separate admin users and passwords - yhinking that perhaps a revent hotfix had stopped the "admin" user from being allowed to use the adminAPI - but changing to a new adminuser yielded the same results.
I could login to the admin API with the new username and passsword - but could not access the datasource.cfc after that.
Here is the debug output from the error...
The current user is not authorized to invoke this method.

and I agree I don't have "E" drive either!

I've found a solution to my plight - I don't know if it'll work for you or help you try something that MAY fix it.
I use a common code set which includes the Application.cfc from a CF Mapping - So, in the application.cfc in the actual website I do this:-
<cfinclude template="/UberDirectory/Application.cfc">
Then, in the /UberDirectory/Application.cfc, I was initialising a CFC which checks if the datasource was created for the website. The datasource checking code attempts to log into the Admin API and check & create if necessary the datasource.
This has previously worked without fail for me - But in this instance it failed!! I was doing two things wrong - Firstly, the CFC should only be called in the Application.cfc in the onRequestStart section as the Application had to be initialised first - This is maybe because I've invoked the application.cfc in a "non-standard" manner.
Secondly, once I'd moved the CFC invocation into oNRequestStart I saw the following error:-
The string COOKIE.CFAUTHORIZATION_uber-directory is not a valid ColdFusion variable name.
I had this as the app name .... <cfset this.name = 'uber-directory'>
Changedthe dash to an underscore and I was away and could once again check the datasources
Hope it helps

A better way to initialize imported taskflows and BCs with current user

Hello.
I'm currently developing a composite application containing one main application and a number of subapplications (modules) packed in adflibs.
Main application has a side menu and a dynamic region, showing taskflows (on fragments) from adflibs.
Main application is configured with adf security and it has current login and queries his ID. I would like main application to tell modules current user ID rather than each module to find out current user on their own.
So there is currentUserID input parameter required in each imported taskflow. And my question is what is a better way to process this ID in the modules?
What I have previously done is:
I've created a custom BC classes layer, VOImpl and VORowImpl have getIdUser() method. This method reads currentUserID parameter from pageFlowScope where the taskflow is storing the parameter.
Top-level View Objects have :IdUser query parameter and corresponding bind variable. This bind variable has value="source.getIdUser()", calling the method from custom VO class.
This way works fine but here and there I read that it is a bad practice to access pageFlowScope from BCs.
I could agree with this in case someone could share a better way.
So what is a good practice?
Thanks.

Why don't you use adf security for this? Read Oracle ADF: Security for Everyone which give you an overview and sample on how to implement this.

Call Custom Service from Event Receiver as Current User

Hello,
i bang my head on this problem for days now:
My custom web service hosted in Sharepoint 2013 needs to know the logged on user name. I used to have a self-written impersonation in my service client before, but with switching to claims authentication this should be obsolete.
So within my service i decode the user from
IClaimsPrincipal icp = Thread.CurrentPrincipal as IClaimsPrincipal;
IClaimsIdentity ci = (IClaimsIdentity)icp.Identity;
String User = ci.ToString();
This works well when i call the service from a custom aspx page.
It utterly fails when i call the service from a List Item Event Receiver. The User always is the Application Pool Account.
This is the Client code to open the Channel:
private void SetChannelFactory(
MyServiceApplicationProxy proxy,
Uri address)
if (null == proxy)
throw new ArgumentNullException("proxy");
if (null == address)
throw new ArgumentNullException("address");
// Check for a cached channel factory
string endpointConfigurationName = GetEndpointConfigurationName(address);// Get the endpoint configuration name
if ((null == s_ChannelFactory) || (endpointConfigurationName != m_EndpointConfigurationName))
lock (s_ChannelFactoryLock)
if ((null == s_ChannelFactory) || (endpointConfigurationName != m_EndpointConfigurationName))
// Create a channel factory without specifying an endpoint address
// so it can be cached and used for multiple endpoint addresses
s_ChannelFactory = new ConfigurationChannelFactory<IMyServiceContract>(
endpointConfigurationName, proxy.Configuration, null);
// Configure the channel factory for claims-based authentication
s_ChannelFactory.ConfigureCredentials(SPServiceAuthenticationMode.Claims);
foreach (var operation in s_ChannelFactory.Endpoint.Contract.Operations)
DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior behavior = operation.Behaviors.Find<DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior>() as DataContractSerializerOperationBehavior;
if (behavior != null)
behavior.MaxItemsInObjectGraph = 2147483647;
// Store the current endpoint configuration name.
m_EndpointConfigurationName = endpointConfigurationName;
private IMyServiceContract GetChannel(
MyServiceApplicationProxy proxy,
Uri address)
//Create Channelfactory
SetChannelFactory(proxy, address);
// Create a channel from the channel factory.
return s_ChannelFactory.CreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser(new EndpointAddress(address));
All research pointed out that "CreateChannelActingAsLoggedOnUser" would pass the current user (which is correctly identified within the event receiver!) to the service, but it doesn't work for my event receiver...
Any advice on this would be great!
With kind regards,
Joachim

You should be able to get the current user id from the SPListItemEventProperties object. From here you should be able to create a Claim. For example get the user by using
user = SPWeb.Users.GetByID(properties.CurrentUserId)
SPClaim claim = SPClaimProviderManager.CreateUserClaim(user.email, SPOriginalIssuerType.TrustedProvider, issuerIdentifier);

Controlling report output based on current user

Hi all,
I am building a small app with APEX for a sales team.
We have the site and app hosted by another company.
I have built a report showing sales summary for the company. The problem is that the report is showing all sales for all sales people.
What I want is for the report to show data based on the user that is logged in, so that the user only sees his items.
In fact, this would be a useful thing to learn for me, because I could use this functionality on several other pager, so this will be a good example for other situations.
So far I have:
I have a database table that keeps track of the sales reps.
Each sales rep in that table is assigned a unique EMP_id, which is an autonumber column of that table, and is also the primary key.
The table also contains a column named: "User login Name" which is their login ID (the one they use to log into the application.
Possible solution (I think):
when user logs into APEX, retrieve their EMP_id from the EMP table based on their login name,
Hold the EMP_id in a variable for the duration of the session,
pass the variable to the SQL query for the report in the where clause.
Is this a good solution? or is there a better way to do this?
Can anyone advise on how to get this done please,
Thank you.

Hi,
Sorry - I guess I should have said where to create the function!
You can keep those steps or keep with your own method as both should return the value you need. I usually store the result of that value in G_USER - similar to Tyson's method - when the user logs in and then use :G_USER wherever I want to use it in filters etc. However, if I need to create SQL Views, I have to use the GETCURRENTUSERID() function instead.

ps - I used MIN() in the function to ensure that I only get one value returned. The method SELECT .... INTO .... only allows us to set a variable to one value and, sometimes, more than one value is returned by the SELECT statement and this would generate an error. Of course, there should be just the one value that matches the current user, but I always assume the worst! The statementS:
SELECT MIN(EMP_ID) into user_id FROM S_USERS WHERE UPPER(LOGIN_ID) = UPPER(v('APP_USER'));
user_id := CASE WHEN user_id IS NULL THEN 9999999999 ELSE user_id END;could also be written as:
SELECT EMP_ID into user_id FROM S_USERS WHERE UPPER(LOGIN_ID) = UPPER(v('APP_USER')) AND ROWNUM = 1;
user_id := CASE WHEN user_id IS NULL THEN 9999999999 ELSE user_id END;or
SELECT NVL(MIN(EMP_ID), 9999999999) into user_id FROM S_USERS WHERE UPPER(LOGIN_ID) = UPPER(v('APP_USER'));

1. Current work flow :-In web site the user have to register themselves in the web site and enters his details along with user id, password and email id. Once user
is registered then he will login with his user id and password. The user id is picked from login control and that set in “SPWeb.CurrentUser” as user id and system uses "Membership.ValidateUser" method to Authenticate user for login.
2. New Requirement: we would like to facilitate the user to login with Email id as well as user id.
Problem:
We replaced "Membership.ValidateUser" method to our own method to Authenticate user with email id/user id and password.
When user is login with user id and password it is working successfully but in the case of email id and password –“the email id is picked from user control and set as
"HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name" but we are not getting “SPWeb.CurrentUser” and it shows null value.”
We are able to get user id from database using email id of user. Please help us how we can set user id in "SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser".

HT4796 How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users?

How can I take the files that were migrated from my PC to my Mac and add all those files to my current user instead of having 2 users? Having to log out just to sign in on a different user to access the files is absurd.
Do I make all the files sharable to all the NOW users on the mac then just delete the files? Or can i erase my account that I made when starting up my new mac and then just use the one with the transferred files?
I just dont want to have to og in and out of 2 different accounts .. Help please.

Sorry. /Users is a folder path. It would be similar to C:\Users (if that exists on Windows).
So, in the Finder, select Computer from the Go menu.
You'll see Macintosh HD, double-click that to open it.
In there you'll see several folders. One is Users. That is where all the user Home folders exist. Select the other account's home folder and go to step 3.
If you have any more confusion, please stop and ask. We'll get there.
If you feel more comfortable, you can just log into that other account and move the files into /Users/Shared.
Then, log into the account you wish to use and copy the files from the Shared folder and paste them into your Home folder, wherever they belong, Documents, Music, Pictures, etc. That just takes a little more work. Transferring them into Shared, and then copying into your home sets the permissions on the files so that you won't have a problem accessing them later. The steps I provided just prevent you from having to do the double move, since you are not going to use the old account once you are done.
Quick unix shorthand. If someone gives you a file path that begins with a /, that means the root of the hard drive, ie Macintosh HD (if you haven't renamed it). The path separator in unix is /, not \.
A path that starts with ~/ means your Home folder, the one inside /Users named with your account name.

How to activate all inactive objects for current user

Hi
How to activate all inactive objects for current user ...
... I have found a (long winded) way to do this:
- Environment / Inactive Objects
- Add to Worklist
- Display Worklist
- Select All
- Activate
this will open a dialog titled "Inactive Objects for <username>"
which has the exact functionality I need ... but I can't figure out how to get to this dialog directly - without so many intermediate steps
the SAP docs repeatedly mention the ability to activate the inactive worklist - but do not mention how
does anybody know the TCode for this dialog?
thanks
ps does the term "mass activation" apply to importing change requests rather than development activation?
Edited by: FireBean500 on Jun 4, 2010 11:07 PM

No other way. But usually it's far more simple as all objects are already in our own worklist.
I wonder why your objects are not already in your worklist, as everytime you create or maintain an object, it is added to your worklist.

Dynamic LOV based on Current user

How do i make a dynamic LOV based on the user id of the current user.
Also how to insert values from a form into a database
Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks

Use portal.wwctx_api.get_user to get the currently logged in userid.
The simplest example of a form manipulating data is to create the form based on a table. All DML works automagically. You can base your form on a procedure with dummy columns and do your own DML if you wish. Lots more flexibility that way...
