Disable Read-Only. How???

I called an Excel file from the File Browser. After making some modifications, when I tried to save it, it prompts me that my file is a 'READ-ONLY' and I must save-as under a different file name. How do i turn off the 'read-only'? I tried changing the properties of the folder containing the file but it didn't work. Help.

I think if you access files thru a browser its a read only access but when accessing files thru a mapped drive then you can edit the file (read/write).
Just my two cents.

HT2963 I have a 1 TG external drive that is formatted to Windows NTFS and is read only, how do i get it to read and write on my Mac OS X 10.6.3?

I I have a 1 TG external drive that is formatted to Windows NTFS and is read only, how do i get it to read and write on my Mac OS X 10.6.3?

Install software such as Paragon NTFS, or reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32. Mac OS X 10.6.5 and newer can also read and write exFAT partitions.

I am trying to acesss a Windows NT external drive form an old computer and it says I can read only how do I change permissions

I have an external hard drive that was used to copy all my old files from an old Windows 7 computer. I need to copy some of the files but it says the disk is read only and I don't seem to be able to change the permissions no matter what I try any suggestions?

You should be able to copy files from a read-only volume. Are the files themselves protected? Are you trying to change the permissions on the files because you can't read them, or because you can't modify them?
What format is the volume?
If it is NTFS, that is expected behavior. OS X Mountain Lion (like its predecessors) contains code to read files in NTFS volumes, but not to write anything (like permissions) inside NFTS volumes. You need to purchase third-party software to make changes to NTFS volumes.

How to disable/read-only check box in Receiavbles receipt application forms

HI,
1- I am trying to freeze the check box of apply in receipt application form but it is not working properly some times its working fine and some time it is not. I am using when new record instance when I am using up arrow and down arrow key it is working fine, but if I am on first record and click the mouse on second row or third row using mouse It is not working and user can un- apply the receipt

Please advice how can I achieve this.
Requirement is if a receipt is related to some order then user should not allow to un apply this line from applications if it is manually applied to some invoice or credit memo then user can un apply this line from receivable application lines.

Toshiba HD worked fine with 2008 MBPro, but when I try to use with new MBAir, it says "read only" - how can I fix?

I have a Toshiba external HD that I used with my old 2008 MBPro with no issues. I just got a new MBAir, and when I try to use the same Toshiba HD it will not allow me to write to the drive. The drive mounts and I can open files from it, but when I look at the info under Sharing & Permissions it says "You can only read." I'm not able to Verify it in Disk Utility either, as when I open it there all the Verify buttons are greyed out.
I also noticed the drive format says Windows NTSF, which I don't understand since I was using it with a Mac before and have never used it with a PC. Do I have to reformat it to write to it from my MBAir? I have files on there that I don't want to lose, and the only PC I have available to me is at work.

Ho to make a read only / disabled input text mandatory?

Hi All,
I'm using ADF to display data for a human task. Part of my requirement is to display a payload attribute as an output text/ read only input text. If this is null, the form should compel the user to choose from a list of values.
How do I make an output text mandatory? Is there another way around this?
I tried creating an input text and making it read only and mandatory, this doesn't work. Apparently, you cant make a disabled/read only input text mandatory?
JDev : 11.1.1.4
Thanks
PP

Hello! What does mandatory field mean for you? If there should be validation while saving, it will be: faces message will be shown with text, as it is defined in business rules in entity object. If you just wish to see blue “*” in front of label, just use “panelLabelAndMessage” component with “showRequired” property = “true”. If you wish to see some red frame around disabled field or button, if it has null value, I don’t know how to help you, but wish to know how to do that too.

Best practice for read-only functionality

Hi,
I'm part of the development team of a system with about 100 screens. The customer would like us to add some read-only functionality to the system, so that certain users are able to access the screens but not change any of the data on them. We already have policies in place on the database level that keeps read-only users from saving data, but it's not very user friendly to allow users to change data on a screen, only to tell them that they're not allowed to save those changes once they try to do so. It would clearly be better if all components are rendered as read-only components for read-only users, making them unable to make any data changes in the first place.
User privileges in the system are controlled by roles defined and set in the system (not ADF roles or Weblogic roles). At any given time and place, it's possible to check whether the current user has a certain role. We already use this in a number of places to make it possible to control which user has access to which screens. In a few places we even control which functionality should be enabled for the current user within a screen, but mostly the access control is currently on the screen level. With read-only users getting access to all screens, it seems we will need lot of extra in-screen access control to keep these users from changing anything.
But what's the best practice here? One way to go would be to add some logic to every single active component on every single screen, to determine whether it should be rendered as active or disabled/read-only. But that would require a lot of extra coding.
So my question is: Is there a smarter way to do this? Maybe something done through skinning? Or something else?
(I'm not sure how relevant this is for this sort of question, but we're currently using JDev 11.1.1.4.0, and expect to upgrade to 11.1.1.6.0 within the next 6 months)
Best regards,

Hi Guna, Puthanampatti and Don,
Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm currently looking into implementing something along the lines of what Guna has suggested:
Our application consists of a number of individual work spaces that are deployed as adflibs which have all been added to a "master application work space", and the master application is deployed as an .ear file. Most of the individual work spaces are for all the different functional areas of the application, with their own task flows, page fragments etc. The rest are work spaces with common functionality, like datamodel (entity definitions), utility methods, page templates, and framework extensions. In the latter, we have defined custom classes for all the base classes (somewhat similar to what Don describes, I believe).
In our custom class for ViewRowImpl, I have added an isAttributeUpdateable method, and in our custom class for ApplicationModuleImpl I have added an isReadOnlyUser method. The isAttributeUpdateable method uses the isReadOnlyUser method to determine if the current user is a read-only user or not; if the user is a read-only user the isAttributeUpdateable method will return false, otherwise true. The isReadOnlyUser method in our base class is just a dummy method that always returns true. But in the ApplicationModuleImpl classes of our individual work spaces, i've written an override for isReadOnlyUser, giving the answer that is relevant for the work space in question (for instance, whether or not the current user has the role "User Administrator").
That pretty much takes care of all input fields in tables and forms, which is a big step in the right direction. This still leaves some work to be done for components that are not directly linked to view object attributes (like buttons), but I guess that can't be helped. Also, there are a few of the work spaces that contain a number of pages that are related to different user privileges (as in: page 1 requires user privilege A, and page 2 requires user privilege B); in these cases I will have to do something different than just writing an override in the "local" ApplicationModuleImpl class.
@Don: What you describe seems to be pretty close in functionality to what we already have, though your implementation is different from ours. You have used your custom base ApplicationModuleImpl class to keep read-only users from committing changes. We use Virtual Private Database and database policies to the same end: If a user without the required full-access role tries to commit data it will cause a database error, which we then handle in the application (so the user gets a message like "You don't have the required privileges to changes this data", rather than an ORA message). Unfortunately, our customers are not content with this. They want a solution where all input fields and most of the buttons etc. are disabled for read-only users, and that's why I'm looking into the best/smartest way to do this.
@Puthanampatti: We already use something similar to what you're suggesting. The challenge I'm currently facing is how best to disable/enable components based on the current user's roles, not how to determine and store those roles.
Best regards,
Andreas

When connecting SharePoint Foundation 2013 contacts to Outlook 2013 in Outlook it is read only.

Hello.
When I connect Sharepoint 2013 Calendars and Contacts to Outlook 2013 I receive the message " You cannot make changes to contents of this read-only folder" if I try to insert a new contact or a new appointment in SharePoint through Outlook (in
Account Settings of Outlook, in the SharePoint tab I have "Server version=Not available" and "Permissions=Read Only").
The same users, through the SharePoint web page, insert a new contact or a new appointment.
Thank you.

External Hard Drive "read only" when connected to mac.

Hi
I have a Lacie external hard drive, formatted FAT, which has always worked fine on our macbook pro until the macs internal drive crashed and had to be replaced. now, when i connect the lacie i can access everything, but cannot move it around or add new folders, etc. under permissions it says "read only" how do i change this? when i connect to a pc it works normal.
the macs software is OS X Version 10.5.8.
im sure that its a really simple answer but i dont know enough about mac to find it...

NTFS is read only on OS X. there are drivers to make it writable, so you could try to get those to work or you can copy the data off & reformat to FAT 32.
if you want to try the drivers: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24481

Network is Read-Only....Error

Hi!
I am using the NetworkManager.writeNetwork() method to store my paths
in my path table and I receive the following error
Network: XXXX is read-only
How can I overcome this?
Thank u
K

K,
Did you open the network as read-only? For example:
SDO_NET_MEM.network_manager.read_network (net_mem => 'A_NETWORK', allow_updates => 'FALSE');
instead of
SDO_NET_MEM.network_manager.read_network (net_mem => 'A_NETWORK', allow_updates => 'TRUE');

Render column read only after save in advanced table.

I have advanced table in my region. Right now, I have col1 & col2 both messageinputtext and adding new row works,
This is what I want to do :
When page loads, render col1 read only, (right now it pulls in data, with col1 as text field, I dont want the user to change data in col1, once he has saved it)
When user presses addRow button in table footer, it adds a row with col1 as input field, but when user is done inputting and clicks 'apply changes' button , col1 in all the rows become read only.
how can I do it programatically ?
thanks

Now You have to capture the logic of AddRow button. Say you are handling its logic in AMImpl.
PFR of Controller:-->
processFormRequest
if ((table.Bean.getName().equals(source)) && (ADD_ROWS_EVENT.equals(event)))
// invoke method on view instance that will add 5 rows
In AMimpl:-
if (vo.getFetchedRowCount() == 0)
// We want to initialize the VO with the call to setMaxFetchSize()
// only before we add the first row. If we add subsequent rows,
// we don't want to call this again, which is way it's enclosed
// in the IF check.
vo.setMaxFetchSize(0);
// Perform insert
Row row = vo.createRow();
vo.insertRow(row);
// If this view object is transactional, you must also comply with
// Model Coding Standard M69 by setting the new row state to
// STATUS_INITIALIZED. Note that there is no harm in including
// this line of code in non-transactional view objects if you
// find it easier to follow a single coding pattern for all your
// view objects.
row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
vo.reset();
vo.next();
Here try to do like this
OARow row = (OARow)vo.getCurrentRow;
OAViewObject pVO = (OAViewObject)findViewObject("macsfaqPVO1");
OARow poRow = (OARow)pVO.getCurrentRow();
poRow.setAttribute("QuestionColFlag", Boolean.FALSE);
Thanks

Documents opening as read only

Since migrating to win 7 all word documents copied to iomega ix4-200 opening as read only--how do we fix this!
There are 4 of us using the iomega as a shared storage and it has become a real problem. We did not have this problem before win 7 and it is not happening to every single word file every time but is happening way too often. Don't know if it is a word setting issue or the Iomega not liking win 7.

Hi jwbennet, welcome to the forums,
sounds like some of the documents were possibly copied to the drive from a write protected drive similar to a closed cd or dvd; when written to cd or dvd files will become write protected.
Please try the following; click on a, or select multiple, folder(s) and right click on them, then select properties. Ensure that the Attributes - Read Only box is empty and then apply the change.
Hope this helps.

Weblogic Current Subject read-only

Hi,
I am doing a fat-client authentication using
import weblogic.security.auth.Authenticate;
Subject currentSubject = weblogic.security.Security.getCurrentSubject();
Authenticate authenticateUser = new Authenticate();
authenticateUser.authenticate(env, currentSubject);
I get the error saying the currentSubject is read-only, how can I do explicit authentication and make the subject current subject..
I want to add the principals from the authenticated subject to current subject so that I can authorize it based on the security role.
If the principal is not in the current subject, authorization fails.
Any tips/help is appreciated

I knew it was going to be something simple and stupid! Thanks man!!! That's what it was!

Can't insert widget as document head read only

When I try to insert my LIghtbox Gallery widget into my web page in CS5.5 I get the message
"This widget requires code that must be inserted into the head of the doucment. Insertion cannot happen as the head of this document is read only"
How do i turn read only off? Or is there any other way to insert it?
Many Thanks

Hello Jenny,
if I understand you correctly, you should only call the widget you need and click "code wiew"
From there you have to copy the entire source code into an empty DW file. So you can see how that works.
You can add only the needed code into your file or you can do it all in reverse, by adding your website contents into the widget source code.
