Data can be copied to a locked version.

Hi,
We are using BCS for Consolidation. We have noticed that it is possible to copy data into a locked version, which poses serious data integrity issues.
Example: We use version 200 for actuals, and version S05 for Forecast. Actuals data from version 200 is copied to version S05 for Forecast.
In the event of a user typo, it is possible that data from S05 could be overwritten to version 200, thereby destroying all the consolidation data in the actuals version 200 for the selected periods.
Has anyone else faced this issue, or has suggestions for what to do.
Thanks.

Hi Payal,
1) One way to reduce the "damage due to typo or similar condition" is.....throw a confirmation
    window asking user to positively confirm the change.
2) Philosophically speaking......no matter how many precautions we take.....human error is
    always there.....
3) If you take a) reasonable precautions   b) regular backups....you will
    be able to recover with minimal damage.
I apologize if I sounded a little pedagogic.....
Good luck, BB

Acrobat X Pro 10.1 - Can't copy windows folders - Locked

Having a major issue with Adobe Acrobat and explorer.
If I download a PDF file and try to move it, I get the error:
"Destination Folder Access Denied" you need permission to perform this action. (I am Administrator level).
Especially if I am using the Windows preview panel at all.
If I use "Lockhunter" to see what is locking the file, it tells me "explorer.exe" and I cannot move the file unless I unlock it. If I unlock it and try to move it again, it fails once again, because it has been immediately locked and left locked again! There is a windows "unblock" option (shown after downloading a file from the internet) but unblocking the file makes do difference.
It only appears to do this with PDF files. How do I resolve this issue? Cheers.

Wierd thing is Bill, I just tried something.
If I try to say move a folder with a PDF file in it, from one location to another, I get the "Error, open in another program" error message. Yet I can go into that folder and cut and paste the PDF file somewhere else with no problem. THEN it actually allows me to move the folder (so moving the PDF file somehow "unlocks" the folder).
If I then try to move the folder again (after the folder and the PDF inside it have been moved) the "new" folder is now locked.
For a folder to become locked, it just has to have a PDF inside it. I don't even have to select the PDF, go into the folder with PDF in it, have it open in the preview panel, or even open it in Adobe Acrobat). All I have to do is select a folder with a PDF inside it, for that folder to become immediately locked. It's like something is scanning the contents of the folder (as soon as I select it), figuring out it contains a PDF file and then locking that folder as a process thread of "explorer.exe" and not allowing it to be cut and pasted somewhere else. But yet, still allowing me to cut and paste the PDF inside the folder and then freeing up the folder its moved from and locking the folder it's moved to!!
Infuriating.
I wonder if Adobe's PDF Windows Desktop Search PDF contents extension could be doing this? Still, why is it only doing it to the folder with a PDF in it I select. It has to be some kind of adobe explorer / pdf shell extension. Don't even know where to start trying to figure it out.

Can not copy files from locked CD

I have some old CDs from around 2002 that are locked and I am unable to copy files off the discs to my Mac and when I check permissions on the discs it will not let me change it from read only.
What do I do?
Thanks.

CDs are read only always (assuming commercial CDs or burned CDRs).
So how it is you are trying to copy the files off of the CD? What happens when you do whatever you do? Does nothing happen or do you get an error message of some sort?

Can I copy between systems with different R/3 releases/add-ons?

hi,all
help me!

Notes 19574 and 24853 provide basic information about this. The main or basic release must always be identical. Support Packages and add-ons should also have the same status in both systems. Only then can the consistency of the data be guaranteed.
For instance, if an add-on is only installed in the source system, the remote copy will terminate with a reference to differences in the dictionary or missing tables in the analysis phase, and will not make the copy. The remote copy terminates if not all data can be copied, in other words if, for instance, a field is missing in the target system, a field is too small or a complete table is missing. You can include individual tables and, from Release WAS 6.10, also development packages (formerly development classes) in the source system in an exception list, to avoid the termination. See note 557132 for further information.
The export does not experience this problem with the transport because the target system is not checked during the export. On the other hand, differences in the dictionary or missing tables are subsequently reported as errors during the import but this does not result in any termination. All of the data that can be imported is imported. In this respect, different ADD-ONs would not pose a problem for the client transport. to what extent is the data consistent or useable?

STS: Why data can't be locked when status is sent to approval.

Hi All,
I'd like to ask about STS, I have a problem on it. I'm working in IP.
Why data can't be locked though the status is already in "send to approval" ?
I've setup data slice under the corresponding cube based on exit class: CL_UPS_LOCK_DATASLICE.
Is it because I've yet to assign R_STS_PT authorization to the planner ? So when I'm opening the data using planner user id, data is still not locked yet.
Could you kindly help me to resolve this problem please ?
Thanks a lot all,
Have a good day,
Best regards,
Daniel N.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the response, much appreciated, a bit of good fortune that I ran into someone in April 2010 who is having the same problem as me on the obscure STS!
I have some queries about your response;
1) You say to create planning a function within a sequence to copy the status., did you mean to copy the version?
2) So the basic principle is, when a user submits data for approval, they use the STS monitor's 'Approval' button, this then triggers the planning sequence to copy data which they just planned to a certain version, this version is hard coded into the data slice, is this correct?
3) What happens then when the higher level manager approves the data, is this then unlocked by copying to another version?
If you could please break it down for me.
Appreciate your time & help.
Regards
SS
Hi Sulman,
You can create function and planning sequence to copy the status.
Then you create dataslice based on particular status to block data from data entry.
You can embed the planning sequence to STS using t-code: BPS_TC.
Thanks a lot .
Best regards,
Daniel N.

I installed Windows 7 in my Macbook pro, I can access Windows data in Mac, but I can't copy and delete it. and the same case while i am working in Windows. Could you please guide me if there is any solution, where I could copy/paste/delete my data.

OS X can natively read NTFS of Windows, but not write to it.
Windows can't read or write to HFS+ of OSX, and that's a good thing from a security standpoint.
Ideally if you share files between operating systems you should have a FAT/MSDOS formated USB key or hard drive. (exFAT external drive if any of your files are over 4GB in size) both these formats are universal for OS X or Windows.
If you install software into Windows and OS X to read each others formats, then you have to pay to update/upgrade it deal with headaches.
If you swtich between Windows and OS X a lot, don't need full hardware performance for Windows, you may consider installing virtual machine software like VMFusion or Parallels which can take a copy of your Windows in Bootcamp and place it into OS X as a file then run that copy of Windows in a window in OS X like so.
Advantage here is you run most of your light weight Windows programs like this at the same time as OS X.
Benefit is you can run just about any Windows or Linux version and OSX server editions (not client versions)
Bootcamp only allows Windows 7, that's it now.
You'll also be interested in two fre pieces of software, Carbon Copy Cloner and Winclone on macupdate.com.
CCC clones OS X partition and Winclone clones the Bootcamp partition. Valuable for you.
Good Luck

You can't copy the received date in Mavericks Mail

I don't print emails. I copy and paste them into Word and Filemaker.
In one stroke I can copy the Sender/Receiver/Subject and of course the Date and Time received.
Hang on. Not the date, in Mavericks. Not any more!
Because the Genius who re-worked Mail for Mavericks said:
"Hey we'll display the date and time on screen. Everyone needs the Date and Time!
"But...when they go to copy that, No date and time for you, buddy.
"You can copy everything else. The header details. The body. The tail. Of course you can.
"Whaddya want the date for? I've never needed to copy that. Ever.
Please...someone with business experience at Apple...please....
Let us copy the date with everything else, like we always have in the past.
We have to track our jobs; and dates/times are critical.
Who said What to Whom. And WHEN!

I totally agree with the frustration. I often have need to copy and paste the basic header info – and 'basic' includes the date.
Before Mavericks version of Mail (curently v7.2) I could copy and paste in a flash.
The current workaround is very cubersome: manually type every character of the date.
Even turning on full headers does not allow the date to be copied. This must be fixed. Doesn't anyone have a fix? perhaps some esoteric code in Termnal to turn on the copying of the date along with everything else?
How was this major oversight missed?

I can't copy any data or links from any webpages in Firefox to other programs such as Word

When i am on different webpages and i try to copy information (URLs, data, links etc) from the webpage and try to paste it into either email messages, MS Outlook 2003 or a MS Word 2003 document, it will not paste. Not sure if this is a Firefox problem or a MS Office problem. It worked fine until about 2 days ago. Now it won't do it at all - have tried from several different webpages, different types of data, different types of desinations (documents, email, etc)
== noticed it about 2-3 days ago. No changes made to the system.

What happens if you try to paste into Notepad?
Also, when you paste into Word, does any data paste at all? Try copying from this forum reply into Word to make sure the problem is with all sites. (Here is some '''bold text''' and ''italic text'' you can try copying)
You do have an old version of Firefox, so you should try upgrading to the newest release from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox

Internal lock version management : Unable to copy objects

Hi ALL
We need help with this particular problem we are facing with our ID objects....
I am unable to copy my communication channels which i was able to do it earlier without any problem...just to make it easy while developing new object...we used to make a copy and edit...instead of creating new scratch.
However, now we are facing a problem once we try activating any copied object, here is the error message we are getting...
"Version management was unable to execute the last action because a temporary internal lock has been set. Repeat the action "
This is not a user lock....we checked that, please do let us know how we can fix this ...so that we may be able to copy and activate copied object without the above error.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Partrick

Hi
Its Weird but it can happen if you copy object whose previous version is still not activated. I still think you must check with all the change lists. or bring all to PISUPER and activate them.
Oops then i think it got locked for all. Refresh the cache and even soft restart for J2EE.
I think you copy a lot
Thanks

How can I copy the date and time of a received email in Mountain Lion?

I recently installed the new Mountain Lion, however I am having a serious issue with the mail application. I use the mail application to download all of my emails and then I copy each one in to a Filemaker Database. I used to be able to copy the headers (from, to, subject, date, time) but now with the new mail in Mountain Lion it will not let me copy the date and time of the email. This is the most important part for me as I need to be able to track when the email was received once I have pasted it in to the Filemaker program. Anyone know if there us an option so that the date and time can be copied from the email?

I suppose you could copy it from the Raw Source. View>Message>Raw Source

Waiting for your valuable suggestions.

Dear Rajneesh Saxena
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Yes you are correct, on the time of deletion it will ask Background Job Process, for immediate deletion must & should select "NO".
While "Settings for Each FY" screen populates message "Background Job Still Running - Data Can Be Displayed Only" open screen in display mode enter the command "=KILL" in command bar press enter, then you will allow to changes get New Entries button also.
Problem is solved

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?

Concerning midi data in GarageBand for iOS: can we copy midi data from one virtual instrument to another?
For instance: I play my "lucky take" on the virtual piano, and now I am curious how it would sound on let's say a organ. Normally I would select the midi content out of the piano track and copy it into the organ track. I cannot figure out how to do this in GarageBand for iOS. Is there anyone out there with a solution?
Thanks!

It is limited, how you can move regions between tracks. Basically, you can move between tracks with the same touch instrument. See the help: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chsec12c15d
Move a region
Drag the region left or right to move it forward or back in time. Align the left edge of the region with the bar or beat on the ruler where you want it to start playing.
Drag the region up or down to move it to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also drag regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be dragged to another Smart Drums track.
If you move a region so that it overlaps another region, the overlapped part of the “covered” region is deleted.
Paste a region
You can paste a region you have copied, or paste an audio file from an app that supports copying audio to the clipboard. GarageBand supports 44.1 kHz sample rate, 16-bit depth uncompressed audio files.
You can paste copied regions to another track with the same Touch Instrument. You can also paste regions between Keyboard and Sampler tracks, and between Audio Recorder and Guitar Amp tracks. Smart Drums regions cannot be pasted to another Smart Drums track. Audio files copied from another app can be pasted to Audio Recorder or Guitar Amp tracks.
Move the playhead to the point where you want the region to start.
Tap the header of the track where you want to paste the region to select the track.
Tap the track where you want to paste the region, then tap Paste.You can also tap an empty area of Tracks view, then tap Paste. In this case the region is pasted into the currently selected track.

How can you copy form data from an online PDF, in your browser?

Just a quick query, I've recently filled out an online application and I filled this out on an online PDF form. This is the form link:
http://3fivetwo.com/dloads/application_pack_-_admin_long10.pdf
How can I copy the data I typed into this form, to a word document for example? Or is there any way I can save this as a PDF with all the data in the form, to send it as an email?
I've downloaded the form, but it just shows blank pages with no fields filled.
Thanks very much!

download the form to your local disk
open it with Adobe Reader and fill in all the details
save it
send the completed form by email
