Enable Manual Status Override

Hello Skype!  Thanks for building a great product over the years.  I understand that recently the presence feature for iOS has been adjusted to automatically set away after 5 minutes.  Would it be possible to implement a feature to allow someone to override the status to always be set as available?  The point of being available on an iphone is that if someone contacts me, the message is pushed to me, so, in fact, I am always available.  Being able to manually override and always be available better represents my status.  Being set as away is very similar to being invisible or offline to others because others think I am away and unavailable to respond to messages, thereby promoting non-skype communication channels such as emails or calls.  Now, I am forced to leave my Skype open without letting my phone sleep so that others will know that I am available which is an even bigger drain on my battery.  I much preferred the old Skype.  Thanks for your consideration.  If you can let me know whether this feature is being considered, it will help me determine whether to stick with skype or migrate to another app to serve my needs.

Hello Prometheus1.  I appreciate your response, and I agree with your post with regards to voice/video.  My concern is around receiving messages.  Since I can still receive messages, I am, in fact, available for messaging.  The problem that I am facing is that being set as away discourages folks from messaging me using Skype because they think that I am not monitoring my phone for their message, when, in fact, my skype is running in the background, and as far as I know, the skype messages are being pushed to me.  My primary use for Skype is not for voice/video, but, in fact, messaging.  Ideally, it would be great to somehow communicate to others that I am available for messages instead of me needing to individually communicate to each of my contacts to reach out to me even if I am away.  Hopefully, that clarifies.  Unfortunately, not all folks understand that being away means that you still receive messages pushed to your phone.

  • Enabling 'Manual Ordering' programmatically

    Is there a way to programmatically enable Manual Ordering for a KM folder?  I'd like to setup a repository service that checks for these kind of services and automatically inherits the parent folder's status to subfolders, but I can't find the APIs that handle the Manual Ordering status.  I thought that Manual Ordering was a part of the Statemanagement Service...?
    Thanks in advance,
    Fallon

    No, it's part of the framework. See <https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04/SPS15/km/com/sapportals/wcm/repository/IOrderableCollection.html> (you need to get access to that interface through IResource.as(...)).

  • Enabled monitor through override not visible in custom management pack

    Hello Everyone,
    I've this requirement to enable a monitor which is disabled by default in its source sealed management pack. Using following article; via override; I enable the monitor and place it into a custom unsealed management pack.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/library/hh212818.aspx
    Now when I try creating subscription based on that monitor; and select the custom unsealed management pack; that monitor is not listed/available. However, this same monitor which is turned enabled by override; is listed; if its parent sealed management pack
    is selected. 
    Questions:
    1) Would selecting this monitor from its sealed management pack; safe to assume this monitor is now enabled? 
    2) Is this default behavior for monitors turned enabled via override? 
    Please provide input to this, how an enabled monitor through override can be referenced to be used? Thank you.

    1) If the override is done properly, yes, it is enabled. You can check that it is actually enabled by opening the health explorer of an object targeted by this monitor : it should be green/yellow/red instead of blank when it was disabled
    2) It is the default behavior. What happens is that you store the override (just a parameter that says "ok, the monitor is now enabled") in the unsealed management pack, not a copy of the actual monitor.

  • How to re-enable Manually Manage Music and Videos without erasing all music and videos

    I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 8.1.1 and iTunes 12.0.1.  When I updated iTunes recently to the new version, 12.0.1 it unchecked the Manually Manage Music and Videos option on my iPhone's summary page.  I just want to re-enable this feature without having to spend the time re-installing all my music and playlists.  Is there a way to enable this feature without erasing my music and videos?

    I've gone from auto-sync mode to manual management before, and the music, playlists, and videos which on the device from auto-sync are not removed when changing to manual.

  • Satellite Server. Role is enabled but status is stopped

    I have a satellite server (SLES 11.3) that has two roles assigned: imaging and content. Imaging is working fine, but when I run zac satr, it reports:
    Role: Content Enabled: true. Status: Stopped.
    I've tried removing that role and then readding it, but get the same result. Is there a way I can force it to try to start so I can check the logs (zmd-messages? is that the right log to be checking?) and see where it's failing? Are there rpms that I can reinstall that might correct it?
    The one complication with this machine is that it used to be a primary server. I went through the primary server uninstall process and then set it up as a satellite. Everything was working fine, but now I'm running into this problem.
    I appreciate any thoughts the community might have on this problem.

  • Enabling manual email archive?

    Hi,
    Running Exchange 2007 and Outlook 2010 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 domain and I had previously disabled manual archiving from a customized installation routine.  At the time no one needed it but a couple users had turned it on by mistake and it was
    causing issues, so I disabled it. 
    A couple years down the road now and a few of my managers want to keep more messages than our mail box policies allow so I suggested archiving, forgetting I had previously disabled it.  D'oh!
    So now I want to re-enable it and I think group policies is the way to go.  But I'm having a little trouble figuring it all out.  I have the templates installed and spent the last hour looking through it but can't seem to find the settings
    I'm looking for, can someone point me in the right direction?  I don't think we are interested in AutoArchiving right now, just manual. 
    Secondly, I think it would be best to locate the PST file on a server so that they can be located from any computer a user logs into.  I'd like to store it in the user's Documents folder, maybe under a sub folder there, is there some environment variable
    that will point me to the location of the user's documents folder?  I have another policy redirecting their documents folders to a server share.
    Hope this all makes sense.
    Thanks in advance,
    Linn

    Ok, the OCT and GPO admin templates for Office, are organised in a similar expandable-branch kind of structure.
    If you open your MSPfile with the OCT (setup /admin) you can check which settings in the MSPfile are set to non-default values, and then compare the location of that setting, in the GPO admin template.
    The settings reference workbook is a handy resource to search for a particular setting:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18968
    The sheet named "ADMX, ADML, and ADM Settings" is for GPO, and the sheet named "OPAX and OPAL Settings" is for OCT.
    The main difference between using OCT vs. GPO, is that settings delivered via OCT are a "preferences" (i.e. a custom default to deliver, but the user can change the setting if they choose. The equivalent setting via GPO, is a "policy", so the user is locked
    out of changing that setting. (although GPP allows you to deliver as a preference, albeit with a bit more effort)

  • How do I enable 'iCloud Status' view in iTunes 11.1?

    Previously Match users were able to activate 'iCloud Status' view in the music library columns. This feature would indicate if a song were uploaded / matched / etc. After updating to the iTunes 11.1, this feature seems to be missing or moved to a separate menu. Anyone have any insight?

    Hi,
    In addition to Michael's comments, try closing iTunes and re opening.
    On one occasion after I readded match, iCloud status was missing from view options. Relaunch solved problem.

  • How to enable manual ipod updates with itunes 7?

    Hi,
    I perviously had a problem with muisc being greyed out on my ipod due to me syncing the it with my library, I easily fixed the porblem to allow manual updates of single tracks in ipod options.
    Since then I have got a macbook and stopped using windows, so I had to reformat my ipod and sync the songs to start with, but not everything will fit and I want to add tracks I really like and remove those I dont like so much, but with itunes 7 all I can seem to do it sync my library with my ipod due to the introduction of the ipod menu and disappearance of the ipod opitons section.
    Does anyone know how I can change this? please help! =)
    thanks,
    Sarah

    Don't feel stupid. You're not the only one who was wondering how to set the iPod to manually update in iTunes 7

  • Do Not Disturb keeps auto enabling Manual setting

    So, my Do Not Disturb works fine when the settings function normally. But I finally figured out what makes it function abnormally all the time.  The MANUAL setting!
    I have my DND settings turned to
    Manual: off
    Scheduled: on
    All is well this way.  However I will find that I'm not getting any sounds for text messages and I go to check the settings, and somehow, manual is turned to ON again, every time!  No one else is using my phone, etc. I don't reboot it or turn it off very often so it's not being reset that way either. It just happens spontaneously.
    So most of the time since I started using the DND feature, my phone has been in an almost permanent state of D-n-d.  It's really annoying and I'd like to know if there's anything I can do to fix this issue with Manual turning itself on all the time.

  • ForecastFox is not showing up on clean install of FF5 with addon-bar enabled and Status Bar-4-Eva installed.

    Newly formatted PC, Windows Vista. I did a clean install of FF5, pulled down as the default download from the Mozilla website. Installed Forecast Fox, didn't show. Turned on the add-on toolbar, it now shows FireBug and AdBlocker icons, but no ForecastFox. I installed StatusBar-4-Eva, the icons changed alignment to the right side, but still no ForecastFox

    You're welcome.
    I filed a Bug report about the issue of what I consider incomplete instructions for that add-on on the AMO website. But as I suspected would happen when I was filing that report, it was marked as INVALID. <br />

    I even did a review of that extension to alert other people to this "problem" and direct them to this thread for help, and wouldn't you know it, the next review is about the same thing - "I have the addon installed but I don't see it anywhere".

  • Kanban with purchase order : avoid manual change status to full

    Dear guru ,
    i use a kanban with purchase order.
    When I enter status empty (using for example PK13N) the system create purchase order.
    I want to avoid that the users enter status full using PK13N or PKBC .
    The users execute goods receipts against purchase order using MIGO in order that the system trigger status full automatically.
    How can I avoid that users change manual status to full using PK13N or PKBC ?
    Thanks.

    We have this scenario and to solve that we did a development. I heard in the past that even you can configure it on SPRO it doesn't work.
    I made some tests recently but I didn't get any positive result. We did tests entering the kanban id into the inbound delivery and post through vl32n and migo but it doesn't work.

  • Adding an override to enable a monitor for a dynamically populated group has no impact?

    Hello all,
    I have a monitor that I only want to target to a single computer group. The group is dynamically populated.
    My basic approach is that the monitor is disabled by default but enabled with an override for that group. However, the monitor does not appear to be running on those servers (or anywhere else). I was able to confirm this based on the results of running the
    "Show Running Rules and Monitors for this Health Service" task--the overridden monitor does not appear at all in the list of monitors running on the servers in that group.
    I have checked the Operations Manager event log on both the SCOM host and the machines in the group, and have not seen any errors. The monitor being overridden is a PowerShell script monitor, where for script logic issues I have seen that the event log will
    contain information on the error. Nothing appears anywhere to show that the monitor has been enabled for these servers.
    Is there a better way to determine why the monitors would not be running on the servers in the group?
    Thanks!

    Hey Gleb,
    I have validated that the group is being populated and that the monitor's target class matches the class of the group members.
    Checking today, it appears that the monitor has begun running on the members of the group... not sure why there was such a large delay before the monitor began executing on the servers. I still have the dreaded green circles in the health explorer, but have
    narrowed that down to a possible condition in my monitor's PowerShell script where the condition properties are not added to the PropertyBag before the script ends.
    Thanks!

  • Querying user enabled status from SSO tables

    Hi guys,
    I'm having issues trying to locate a table/view I can query to get specific SSO user information. In particular I am interested in listing usernames and their enabled/disabled status. In the OID front-end, under the user directory there is a column for 'Enabled' and this is what I am trying to find in the table structure.
    Any help appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Thank you for that! I have extended this query to contain the ods.ct_uid table as follows as some users were being omitted. Also I have included a decode statement that changes the 'enabled' or 'disabled' to a 0 or 1.
    SELECT
    UPPER(cus.attrvalue) username,
    DECODE(NVL(ena.attrvalue, 'enabled'), 'enabled', 1, 'disabled', 0) enabled
    FROM
    ods.ct_orclisenabled ena,
    ods.ct_uid cus,
    ods.ct_cn ctu
    WHERE cus.entryid = ctu.entryid
    AND ena.entryid (+) = ctu.entryid
