Filter and general access issues from planning to essbase

Hi all,
V 9.3.1 Planning
I am working on a planning system where the business owners would like to restrict the lock and sending of data via smartview. Basically, users are bypassing parts of planning and going directly to essbase rather than forms. They had individual user filters setup but they would like to move to groups. I am using the importsecurity utility to try and achieve this. However, the access granted and filters are producing the following behaviour
1)Group has essbase write access - if this is enabled there appears to be unrestricted access via smartview. Take it away and #NoAccess appears despite security being applied to certain members using the importsecurity utility. I have read that this can be a bit of a loose canon when granted and conflicts with filters.
2) Cannot create filters - I wish to remove all user filters from within planning. However, the importsecurity sl_clearall command doesn't clear them (as I thought it would but appear to be wrong). I cannot create any filters. An error appear saying 'Failed to create Security Filters for the following users: xxxx' Is it possible to delete the filters?
3) If I refresh the security filters I get errors saying 'the following filters could not be created' but they are in EAS (I deleted all filters before hand). I have run the updateusers utility which tidied up msad users but still errors are reported.
The objective is to restrict each group to be able to write to the permitted part of the application and read where necessary. The permissions in planning need to match essbase.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Nathan
p.s this is the same app relating to the thread about the application owner posted yesterday for those who viewed or commented :)

Knowledge base had some useful articles on this.

  • Set new Required Field for MD14 and MD15 for conver from Planned order to P

    Dear all,
    I would like to set new required field (Purchasing Organization)  in T-CODE MD14 and MD15 for convert from Planned Order to PR. What's should I do?
    Please help, I 'm new for MRP.
    Best Regards,
    Kate

    Hi Kate,
    You are not on the right track; MD14 and 15 will choose the PLANNED ORDER population for the conversion. In planned orders there's NO PURCHASING ORGANIZATION DATA (normally)!
    So even if you managed to put the field on the screen, it will not do anything that makes sense.

  • Folders and Files access denied from Server 2008 on Windows 7

    I upgraded my server from 2003 to 2008. Now my Windows 7 machines can't open files in the Shared Documents on the server.  Error comes back with access denied.  Can use remote desktop with a Windows 7 machine and have access to the Shared Documents

    Hi,
    Plesase check ntfs permisions and share permssions of the shared folder. You could try to set share permissions to Full Control for the Everyone group to see if the issue still exists.

    RAC needs the very same storage layer to be visible and available on each RAC node - thus this needs to be some form of shared cluster storage.
    Should a piece of it fails on one node, that node would not be able to access the RAC database files on that shared storage layer - and will throw the type of errors you are seeing.
    So how does this shared storage layer look like? Fibre channels (HBAs) connected to a Fibre Channel Switch and SAN - making SAN LUNs available as shared storage devices?
    Typically a shared storage failure would throw errors in the kernel log. This is because the error is not an Oracle error, but a kernel error. As it is in your case. The bottom error on the error stack points to the root cause:
    ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 75 - see DBWR trace file
    ORA-01110: data file 75: '/dev/vg_rac/rraw_tap3plus_temp_live05'
    ORA-27041: unable to open file
    HPUX-ia64 Error: 19: No such device
    So HP-UX on that node is not seeing a specific shared storage device.

  • Filter and Sort Transient Attribute from Query Panel

    Jdev 11.1.1.3
    Hello,
    i am not able to filter a transient attribute from the standard query panel (with result table).
    I did following things:
    -Call an Initial AppMod Service Method from my Bounded Task Flow, and fill the Transient Attribute with some values (with setter method)
    -Next, call the Page with following characteristics:
    I defined a custom View Criteria with particular Bind Variables, take as query execution mode = In Memory and activate the Auto Query Flag
    Drag and Droped this Criteria from Conroll Panel on the Page as Query Panel with Table
    In Page Data Binding Definition, i set the InitialQueryOverridden Flag to true, otherwise no data will be filled in the transient attribute
    The sort and filter works only for the Database Attributes.
    Has anyone an Idea, how to keep same behavior for the trans attr.?
    Thank You!
    (Note: When i set the Query Mode (after init Call) to vo.setQueryMode(ViewObject.QUERY_MODE_SCAN_VIEW_ROWS), then the sorting of Trans Attr is working fine.
    But the filtering is not working well: Lets say a filtering is done by the Trans Attribute and we get 3 Rows. But when all rows wanted to be retrieved again, only those 3 are available then, no chance to get all rows back)

    Hi,
    assuming that sorting and filtering are similar, have a look here

  • How to move all my data to a server and wirelessly access it from any Mac

    Hi. I have a PB, an MBP, a Mac Mini and a new iMac, which all serve different purposes. I have got to the point at home where I want to have one private account with all my data on a HD and to just log in to it from whichever machine I happen to be using. I currently have an Airport Express as my wireless router and am considering buying and Airport Extreme/Time Capsule. I have about 500GB of data, which is growing pretty quickly since I have use of an HD camcorder, so I will buy one or two large drives in addition to the various external HDs I already (that total about 850GB) have. What is the best way (at relatively low cost) for me to set up my wireless home network in order to achieve the above goal?
    Thanks for your time.
    Matthew Whiting

    Don't go there. At least not for all your data.
    The relatively low throughput and high latency of the wireless connection (at least compared to direct-attached disks) will make accessing large files cumbersome and frustrating. Since you specifically mention HD video you should be aware that what takes a long time now will take a lot longer if the media is accessed over the wireless network.
    So while your goal might be technically feasible, it's unlikely to be workable.
    Instead you should consider focussing your centralized data on content that makes sense (e.g. maybe your iTunes library), and store data locally where it's more appropriate (e.g. consider one machine for video editing).
    Therefore you need to analyze your data - both in terms of content (what you have) and use (how you access it) to determine what makes sense to store centrally. Once you have that it will be easier to form a plan.

  • Photoshop CC 2014: Missing Oil Paint filter and no access to extensions and plugins? Where did they go?

    I downloaded PS CC 2014 a few days ago, and just opened for the first time. The Oil Paint filter is no longer listed in the Filter menu. Has it been deleted in this "update"? I hope not because I use it as part my workflow and have it as a step in many of the Actions I've developed to produce my signature style.
    Also, access to my Extensions and Exchange is blocked; that is to say, Extensions is greyed out in the Window>Extensions drop down menu. This means I can't use my watermarks.
    In order to use all the features of PS CC and CC 2014, I have to save my work and open it in the other version, then switch back again to apply a watermark. Very annoying!
    Any insight would be appreciated.
    In Camera Raw, the button to toggle between pre- and post adjustments in the active adjustment panel has been reinstated, a good thing, but it should not have been removed in the previous "update".
    Thanks

    It now looks like the CC app controls the syncing of your add-ons with PS CC 2014. So, open Creative Cloud, click on the Files tab and ensure that syncing is turned on. This can also be confirmed, and toggled on/off in Creative Cloud Preferences.
    No syncing is for Your Photoshop settings(not really) and presets between machines for a Photoshop versions  CC to CC, CC 2014 to CC 2014 not between versions.  Photoshop Preferences Settings like UI  setting not to open documents and others are not synced. 
    Photoshop also has a feature to Migrate Presets between version of Photoshop,  This has been available for some time.  Photoshop menu Edit>Presets..  When you install a version of Photoshop you are also prompted with a question asking if yoy wish to migrate your presets from a prior version of Photoshop during the install process.  Note the your new document Presets are not migrated but you can do that yourself with a file copy.   Also  Photoshop preferences are setting not Presets you need to set preferences you change from Adobe default settings.

    Hi there,
    I would like to seek your counsel with regards to the recent incident that we encountered with our CiscoWorks LMS 3.1 running on Solaris 10.
    A few days ago, we received a few complains from our users that they were unable to view the pollers or contents of the TOP-N <CPU | Memory | Interface> Utilization on the HUM’s home page (see attached file, hum_homepage.jpg).
    We (tech support guys) checked the pollers’ status and they’re all Active (see attached file, pollers.jpg); we notified our Administrators and requested for a copy of the HUMPortal.log (see attached file, humportal.zip).
    The following day, while waiting for the HUMPortal.log, we received reports that users accessing the HUM home page are stuck with the message “loading…” on all TOP-N Utilization reports.
    As we were about to re-queue our request from our administrators, we received reports (a few hours ago) that our CiscoWorks LMS is inaccessible via web browser.
    We alerted our administrators and they attempted to restart the Daemon Manager (/etc/init.d/dmgmtd); they were able to successfully shut it down but took several attempts to start it up.
    As they attempt to start up the Daemon Manager, they encountered the following error message:
    # /etc/init.d/dmgtd start
    Error: Daemon Management could not start. Trying again
    Error: Unable to bind to port, please check port (42340) state and permissions.
    Error: If the port is in use, please try starting Daemon Manager once it become free.
    After several minutes passed, they were able to start up the Daemon Manager successfully although the CiscoWorks LMS is still inaccessible via web browser.
    We requested for a copy of the “pdshow –brief” log and every daemon (as far as I know) seemed to be working fine but it never hurts to ask for help to verify my findings (see attached file, pdshow0818a.log).
    As of the moment of  this writing, we are still unable to access CiscoWorks LMS via web  browser; any insight or suggestion on the next step to take in  troubleshooting and eventually solving this problem is very much  appreciated.

    The port 42340 issue is most likley not related to the HUM issue you described. The latest log entry you provided indicates "Possible reasons for 'No Data' in HUM Portlets could be either Poller is not configured, or Poller is deactivated, or Poller Failure has occurred, or Summarization job did not start." The error is repeated back to the beginning of the file dated Aug 14 16:39.
    To focus on the HUM issue:
    Did any change occur on or around the 14th that you are aware of?
    Please provide some additional debugs:
    1. Please enable debug for "UPMProcess"
    Log files are stored here: #/var/adm/CSCOpx/log/#
    - HUMPortal.log
    - upm_summarization.log
    - jrm.log
    - upm_process.log
    2. To set log levels:
    *Health and Utilization Monitor > Admin > System Preferences*.
    - Select Log Level Settings.
    - Select the application module from the drop-down list.
    - Select the Debug log level from the Logging Level drop-down list.
    Thanks,

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. 

  • PA and PSA Inheritance issue from Org Unit

    Hi,
    I am trying to create an Org Unit with effective from today or a future date. When I do this, PA and PSA is not getting inherited for the newly created Org Unit.
    But when I create an Org Unit with effective from past date, this issue is not there and works fine perfectly.
    Note: The issue is there in the Development Client as of now. But there is no issue in quality. There was a recent patch that gets updated in Dev system. Not sure whether patch is an issue.
    Cheers

    hi vijay...
    would you tell me about your problem in bit details...
    i understand that if you create new org unit with existing org unit which already maintained with its PA and PSA assigned in Account Assignment tab then its never occur this problem..but if you create your org unit out side the remaining structure the you must assign PA and PSA for this specific

  • Versamail error and Gmail access Issue

    I have been using my e-mail button on the front of the Palm Centro to access the gmail account I set up.
    I opened a new gmail account and wish to use that. I edited the gmail account information on my phone through Accounts.
    However, everytime I try to access the new account, I get this error:
    [ALERT] Invalid credentials (Failure)
    What does this mean?
    How do I fix it?
    How do I open my account?
    Thank you!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    What I would check is if Gmail is set to > Status: POP is enabled or Status: IMAP is enabled
    Next check the settings on the account on your device and try again. Usually if all the settings are correct then this issue could be temporary.
    You could also delete the account and recreate it.

  • Camera, sound, and general design issues

    I bought an iPod Touch 3G about a year ago. Recently, I sold my 3g and bought a 4g. I am a professional web and interface designer and have been in the industry about 5 years.
    With the iPod upgrade, I got camera functionality. Also, the recent iOS update added a new set of sound options. It appears that you can have the sound muted, but still get notification sounds from mail, facetime, and perhaps other applications as well; a good feature. The multitasking bar also now has a volume slider as well.
    My Proposal (see below for details)
    - Link the camera shutter sound to the regular iPod volume. Or have a setting to turn shutter on and off. Or add a “Ringer and Alert” option to disable shutter sound.
    - Add a “mute all sounds” button in the multitask bar.
    - Remove the sound slider in the multitask bar and replace it with a brightness bar.
    The Camera
    The camera seems to work great. Unfortunately, it isn’t the highest quality, which I heard was not due to cost, but because of size. Really Apple? Because 0.28 inches is just borderline “too thick?” But that is a whole other issue. The issue I am having is that the camera makes a really nasty (and often loud) shutter noise whenever I take photo, even when the sound is muted. Apple did add the “Ringer and Alerts” sound volume, which apparently also is linked to the camera shutter noise. So either I get audio mail alerts with shutter noise or I get no audio mail alerts with no shutter noise. The “Ringer and Alerts” section allows me to disable certain sounds (incoming mail, outgoing mail), but not the shutter sound. Shutter noises are annoying and there are plenty of circumstances where you do not want a shutter noise. And no, I am not talking about perverted circumstances. Say you are in a boring conference reading a magazine and want to send a photo of a page to a friend? Perhaps you are in a retail store doing some comparison-shopping online and are taking photos of bar codes? Maybe I have witnessed a crime and want to capture a photo of the fleeing perp. There is no reason that people within a 3-block radius need to know that you are taking a photo with my iPod Touch (…and yes, the last example was a bit over the top). Since mail alerts are very useful, I tend to leave them on even when the volume is muted. I typically leave my sound muted because often I may be using a sound application (games, youtube, etc) in a waiting room or other situation where there are people around. I like to be courteous to other people, so I leave my phone on vibrate and go to an unoccupied room (when possible) when receiving a phone call. So leaving my sound on is not a good option for me. However, in order to take a silent photo, I have to go into settings, go to sounds, and slide the “Change with Buttons” option to off. Then when I am done taking the photo, I have to slide it back. Very inconvenient and I have to remember to do it if I am taking a silent photo. Why not add a “Camera shutter” option to the list of sounds in the “Ringer and Alerts” section? Or maybe just bundle the camera shutter sound with the regular volume control of the iPod Touch. Or just add a setting to turn shutter sound on or off.
    The Sound
    Why is there no easy way to “mute all sounds,” especially with the new sound options of the iOS? This option should be added to the multitask bar. If you are going into a meeting and do not want audio alerts. When the meeting is over, simply go back to the multitask bar and unmute all sounds; simple to use, easy to add. Why did Apple add a volume control to the multitask bar? You can adjust the volume from any application by using the external buttons! Also, perhaps I just don’t understand the new functionality of the volume buttons, but how come you cannot adjust volume from within some applications (camera and others)? The buttons just don’t seem to do anything in those applications. Why in the world would you do that? Those sound buttons have a specific purpose that users are accustom to. No matter what application you are in, you can easily adjust the sound. If you have some feedback on the new functionality of the buttons, please let me know.
    The Brightness
    Sound and brightness are the two items I change the most. Sometimes I am using my iPod Touch in a dimly lit room, so I like to turn down the brightness. The auto brightness works, but not well in dimly lit rooms. Watching YouTube videos can sometimes be a bit cumbersome with the brightness. If the video is to bright or dark, you can to exit the YouTube app, go to settings, adjust the brightness, go back to YouTube and resume the video. The same goes for the Video application. Some games are brighter or darker than others, so adjusting the brightness after starting a game is a common circumstance. Why not replace the audio controls in the multitask bar with a brightness option. Audio is accessible (or at least should be) from any application thanks to the hardware buttons.

  • Rescuing and/or Accessing Images From Aperture Database Without Aperture

    Early reviews of Aperture mentioned that Aperture created a closed, inaccessible database of all the images contained therein. This apparently means that these images cannot be accessed unless you have Aperture. Does anyone else feel nervous about this? What happens if the Aperture database is corrupted and won't open? As far as I can see, you would be toast because you couldn't reach your images. I would appreciate hearing from someone who can address these concerns. How stable is the Aperture database? Is there a chance it could be corrupted and refuse to open? And if so, how would you go about rebuilding it and/or rescuing your images? It also appears that the only way you can move images is by exporting them (which requires a working program).
    Any thoughts?

    No problem! Trying to answer these questions is a very helpful way to learn the app by looking at aspects of it I have not encountered yet.
    Yes, you can rebuild the Aperture database in a similar way to Entourage (and iPhoto). Holding down command-option after launching Aperture will make a Rebuild Library dialog appear. HOWEVER, don't do this unless you really want to see it work, because there seems to be no way to cancel the process. You can choose Rebuild Now or Don't Rebuild. If you choose Don't Rebuild, your Projects will nonetheless need to be recovered before use. The dialog mentions a Rebuild Later button, but there is no such button available.
    I have done this a few times both ways in the course of writing this, and there does not seem to be any negatives to rebuilding other than the time rebuilding takes, so if your projects aren't large it may be worth doing now to get comfortable with the process.
